Okay, I know that some of you are familiar with the chat rooms on mIRC and the #pixies-place chat. Well, I've really let it get to me. I totally fell for somebody on there. I keep trying to tell myself that it's just chat and I shouldn't let it get to me, but hell, I do it anyways. I've never really felt like that for somebody romantically, like I'd put them before me. We even met and everything. I just found out that I'm being cheated on. I've done a lot of bad shit in my life, so I guess what goes around comes around and I deserve this....Anybody got any advice on how to move on from this?

Clint sweetie!

I'm not sure I can offer you much practical advice. It's a case of time being a healer I think, but I really can sympathise.

To quote something a good friend of mine said to me recently:

'Unfortunately the world is full of insufferable twats and we just have to take comfort that we're not some of them'.

There are hurtful and dishonest people out there, but try not to let it make you bitter, although there's nothing wrong with having a bloody good moan about it every so often.

If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here.

Sorry to hear about your woes Clint. Hang in there, and in the meantime... stare at Uncle Silky's avatar. Whichever one he is using at the time is guaranteed to take your mind off anything else, if only for a little while.
Seriously though, my advice is to 'do life.' Call up friends, go out at night, surround yourself with the good people in your life. I know when I'm down I want to sit around the house and mope, and all that does is give you plenty of time to dwell on what a sucky predicament you're currently in... Do things, be active, be busy, and most importantly, be social.

Clint, sorry for being dense.

The person playing up on you is your partner or the Pixie?

As far as an online romance turning real life. Been there, done that, highly do NOT recommend it.
But I hope that your heart feels better soon.

Well, I have to disagree with MsTerious on this one. I personally met my wife online. We are happily married with a child. But, as for the advice I would give, she's not worth the worries man. I had a g/f of 3 years dump me for another guy and I went through my little psycho phase, the angry phase, the crying phase, and now I'm up to the true life phase of knowing that all things that happen do so for a reason. She was not the one I was meant to be with and, therefore, I know that she is not worth the worry. Don't let it get you down. The best thing you can do is surround yourself with good friends and good times, and you won't have any time to think about your problem with her. Then, when the time comes, you will find the right one for you. I found the best way to find a good woman is to stop looking for one. Women have a sixth sense that tells them when a man is looking for a woman and they will avoid you like the plague. Just be patient, and, for God sakes, BE HAPPY. It'll work itself out.

See, I don't look at it as agreeing or disagreeing. I know plenty of people who met they're SO's online. For you, it worked, so you'd recommend it. For me, it didn't work, so I wouldn't recommend it. Or I would at least recommend 'procede with caution'
Would I do it again? I really don't know. I got screwed big time. However, I also rushed in and made scores of mistakes.

Good luck, whatever you do!

goddamn, that sounds familiar.
