He mentioned in the 50 Shades thread that his girlfriend saw the movie and said it was fucking hot. Assuming he's still at it.

She actually moves out tomorrow, fucking-A, and I am taking the day off work to "supervise" the exit. We went out for dinner last night, because she requested that we have one final dinner at the restaurant where we first met, and despite me knowing that it was a bad idea, I couldn't really come up with any excuse that wouldn't cause guilt on my part.

She met me at the restaurant since it's right near my office, and basically went full tilt on the hair/makeup/dress in some play to win me back. Dinner was awkward, with her constantly pushing me to "say something, this is our last outing together", but I really didn't have much to say that hadn't been said a hundred times already. Then she started tearing up saying she envisioned the dinner being different which was my sign to get the check, and we went home. She wanted break-up sex, I declined, she went into some sort of bipolar-esque type state that vacillated between "I hate you" and "you're the love of my life, I'm so so sorry", and that was the night..

Still really sucks.. She was a great GF in a number of ways-- didn't try and "change" me, not prissy, and let me do my own thing most of the time. Unfortunately her once a month or so drunk rage fits just ruined everything with the horrendous insults. I never thought I'd be in a situation where I'm immensely physically attracted to someone, yet have no desire to fuck them because of things they said.

Short of having body parts removed, that is one of the worse things that can happen to a dude.

The dissonance is intense. It will break your mind if you stare at it for very long.

Events like this are what cause alcoholics to swear off alcohol forever. You're doing her a favor.

Props for not throwing in the pity bang at the end. Last thing you need is her to get accidentally pregnant or think it meant you two were back together.. or plunge a knife into your chest during orgasm.

Thanks for the update, and good luck with the move-out.

During my divorce, the move-out process went pretty smoothly despite bad feelings between us. Know beforehand what you care about and what you could easily (and maybe even want to) replace. Try offering up some stuff she may want that you don't really care about at the beginning. If she has some decency, she will probably do the same and cooperate more readily throughout the process. And it sounds like she does have decency... unless she boozes.

You should get really drunk before you move out and claim everything as your own. Establish dominance. Then cry and ask for her back.

Hey, congratulations man, that took some serious effort on your part to do the right thing.

Curious. How do you know what a surefire turning point is for an addict? People lose their houses, children, jobs, family and still keep drinking.

There is no surefire turning point; people aren't black/white constructs. I was up to some degenerate shit in my early 20s and a very distinct event catalyzed me into making a drastic life choice (military enlistment). Eight years later and I credit that negative event, and my reaction, for why I'm alive today.
