So Long
 

So to make a very long story short, it would appear Celina and I are broken up. I won’t get into a long ranting post about the reasons why, not only because it’s personal but that just isn’t the kind of content I put in my blog really. We’ve
talked about trying to hang out in Sydney and see how we go, but until then we are officially not a couple and we won’t be seeing each other until then.

I woke up today and tried to grind, but realized very quickly my head was not in the right place. One thing I’ve prided myself on in poker is that I always keep my cool and never get worked up over any table talk or berating. That ended today. I ...

Sorry to hear that man...a getaway is a great idea

There's always a seat open for you in Fresno.

It always seems like breakups are the end of the world, but in reality they're not. Although you might realize that deep down inside, the pit in your stomach will take a while to go away. Until then, focus on enjoying yourself and doing light-hearted stuff, and if it was meant to be then you'll be back together. Take it easy.

I guess her celeb status became too much and she decided it was time to move up in the world

adios amigo.

Sorry to hear you got a case of the drama and know you will persevere.

I appreciate all your wisdom and look forward to learn more when you get through this.

Old guy advice: relax, take care of yourself, be with friends, and this too shall pass.

Ah man thats rough. I've had two break ups since i started playing poker and my game went south every time. So taking time off is a really good idea.

I'm gonna offer some advice that you probably won't read.

If this woman left you or ask for time to think or she needs space or see other people or what ever other cockemami excuse... forget her. period.

No working things out, "waiting to see if we will be together" etc, etc. She has already made her decision and now has a free pass to see(fucck) other people with you as a security blanket if she changes her mind or things go badly. don't be used, stepped upon or disrespected. Be the prize. And whatever you do, DON"T BEG.

Do enjoy urself, meet new people (women) and have too much fun to think about this girl. GL.

Hang in there kid ...
 

Have fun and chin up and such ...

Bummer man. It's always tough at first, but in the end it was either meant to be or things will work out between you. I'm sure it will all work out in the end for you, Tony. I wish we can have a few (many!) drinks together right now. Hang in there, brother.

Tough beat bud!! Chin up, enjoy urself, take care, move on, next .... you know the story ...

1) Rent/buy the movie "Swingers" immediately. Perfect perspective for a breakup and a great reminder not to be "that guy" moping and pining or calling her and leaving messages, etc. All of the advice in that movie is gold. Don't call her, let her call you, but know that she'll probably call right after you've gotten over her. Also an excellent moral to the story: she'll end up with a scrap metal salesman while in your future waits a Heather Graham type.

2) this is without knowing anything about your breakup or your relationship but knowing women in general: Women have completely different rules/agendas. Sometimes you think you're broken up and you're actually just being tested/manipulated to see if you're ready to take the next step. Sometimes you think you're together and you've actually been broken up without knowing it and when the breakup does get around to becoming official the reasons quoted have absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Sometimes you are too close to the action to properly analyze the HH.

3) Realize that most of what you're going through right now is just a mental construct (drama) and you can choose to spin it for your own purposes and perceive it differently. You weren't going to be together for a month anyway. Why should that separation be any more difficult than what you were already prepared for? If it turns out she's just using the previously planned separation as a test, why should you suffer unneccesarily when you otherwise would have happily played poker and xBox for a month? Unless you can see into the future, the situation hasn't actually changed as much as you perceive it to have changed.

Best of luck.

awww Tony :( <big hug> take care of yourself, now more than ever. breakups sometimes lead to very stupid things.
