Oh ffs. What a load of complete shite. If you mean let her go and fuck a bunch of other dicks, then take her back, um, yeah.. good strategy. That's just romantic novel/movie drivel dreamed up to make the rejected feel better.
If she comes back, she may later again, think there is something better out there, why on earth would you want someone who feels like they have to settle for you because they couldn't find anyone better.
Please.
9 years??? ...no further comment. other than:
Billions of other women out there.
no, don't do thatOh man, feel bad for ya..the problem with so many years of being together is that every single thing will remind you of her...you need to talk this out ..make her realize that she is making the biggest mistake in her life.
For this reason, I strongly recommend you seek medical help from your physician to deal with the depression so you can sleep and function normally. I didn’t but now know it would have helped me a lot. I wish you well.
