Was all that stuff hers to take? I'd just take break and go on a holiday. I think if you choose to start a new life so quick after something like this you might regret it.

i had to start over with absolutly nothing. all my items were ruined and my car was totaled by ex roommate. started over with nothing no job nothing and now am on my way back to being successful it happens just stick to your goals

I think that £15k is definitely a good start to begin living elsewhere. Obviously, you'd be better off with more, but it's still a considerable sum.

I have no clue about Australia, but Canada may be an option. Vancouver (nicest city, IMO) is pretty expensive but if you don't mind living in a smaller city in Eastern Canada (think some parts of Ontario and Quebec), £15k is plenty to get a decent apartment and live for a few months without a job.

Either way, good luck! That's one Hell of a shit sandwich you got dealt.

Dumping you by text is fucking weak. I don't know if I would recommend it, but if I was you I'd severely beat your traitorous ex-friend. I think you'd feel better.

And I don't know if you should make such a rash decision with emigrating at the moment, but go travelling for a while instead and see where your head's at then.

Hi everyone. Long story short: I've been in a bad place for a number of years. Just when I thought it was all getting better and I had a lot to look forward too, my Girlfriend of 6 year texts me on her way home from work telling me she doesn't want to be with me anymore. I had our engagement all planned out and the ring was paid for, I was so happy to think what was coming next. We were so tight, we had our whole life planned out, it was full of adventure and excitement.
Well it turns out she had been seeing my oldest friend for a couple of weeks. Everyone knew what was going on except for me. She's now hanging around with all of my friends, people I introduced her too. I have been forced out of my own life and left to just apparently accept all this shit. It's hard to take!
I went away for a while when this all happened. She said 'she just needs some space to think about what she wants' I never thought that she wouldn't want me, after all she always made me promise I would never do something like this to her! Fuck!
So I went away, stupidly thinking she would be there waiting, at our house.

I came home to an empty house. She'd taken everything, even the sofa. She left a TV and my PC, that is all.

So I've had to spend a week in an empty house with nothing but my own thoughts. No one around to talk too. It hasn't been nice. I've been a real mess. Everything around here reminds me of what I had. I have been forced to move to my brothers house as the lease ran out at the end of Jan. I am sleeping on the floor of a shared house (7 people live here). I don't have any time or space to think about things, let alone act on them. I had trust issues anyway before this happened. Can you imagine how I feel after the person I trusted the most has done this to me? I'm back in a place I hoped I would never be ever again. Rock bottom.

My only option in my head, for me to get any better and to stop thinking about all that is going on is to get out of here. The UK is cold and miserable, and very hard to get anywhere when you're starting at the bottom. I need a break.

I have around £10-15k in bitcoin at my disposal. Where the hell do I go from here? I want to emigrate somewhere nice and start a new life away from all the shit. I was thinking Canada or Australia are my best bets as I can get VISAs easily and everyone speaks english. Am I being stupid to think I can start a new life on 15k? I just want somewhere to work and live, far away from here.

Any advice is much appreciated... Where do you live and what is life like there? Sell it to me... I'm up for anything. I need some fun and adventure!

What would you do in my position and with 15k to blow...?
