8 years, wow that's tough man because that is longer than some marriages these days. It is going to take some time to get over so don't expect the hurt to go away. That guy probably doesn't have crap on you because she was with you for 8 years and he's getting her while she is probably on the rebound. You are more of a man in your pinky than this gabroni if she was with you for half her life. So grieve for the next few months but pick yourself up off the ground and get back in the game and go out with some little hottie as quick as possible. Treat yourself nice over the next few days, maybe buy you some "I'm getting a new girlfriend clothes" or throw a party in your honor or take yourself out for a nice dinner. Take care of number 1. Back off the phone calls for a while. Don't be so up her ass but if there is a chance to talk to her and you are dating someone else, drop that on her and tell her your happy. If you stop calling for a while she might think you found someone else and it might make her jealous. Childish, I know but that is the game we play.

The scars remind us that the past is real.....
