Craig,

You did the right thing and you did it first. I'm proud of you bro, and I am not being sarcastic here.

If you don't bust her heart first, she'll bust yours. I know you feel like an ass inside, but trust me it's better this way for yourself.

Having a good heart is a great thing, but when it comes to breaking up and when things don't work out - always end it and end it first!

I disagree.

"There is no reality, only perception" and many of the events in life we look at many different ways, often comparing, or using analogy.

Poker is one of the better analogies because it represents psychology and people of which we have to deal with for ourselves and society, plus the nature of the game represents capitalism, of which is applicable to us all.

I agree with Milo FWIW, I don't know the OP or his girlfriend (I swear!) and his decision is neither wrong or right in my P.O.V, but 4 years is a long time of someones life and energy, make sure you know why you're folding. (+ I'm curious) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Cheers,

That sucks, but you are doing the right thing. Funny you made this post, as I am in a very similar situation and am planning on doing the same thing later this week.

For some reason that struck me as funny. But I realize that for you it is probably not very funny at all.

Good luck and think these things through, some are hard to undo.

I just told my gf (of 4 years) that things weren't working out.

She is one of the nicest people ever.

I feel like a giant asshole right now.

However it had to be done. I wasn't really happy in the relationship anymore.

I don't know why I'm telling you OOTiots this.

These poker metaphors have gotten out of control. Speak the language you know I guess.
