I'm taking a chance. Hosting my first full band lineup on the 2nd October. Giving some local bands the opportunity of the big stage

So I'm doing something that scares me. I'm hosting my first full band night at the loft Southampton. Everyone has been asking for it, so why not? We have a full lineup of bands, and the best part of all they get a profit split from the event. If you truly want to see local bands flourish, then this is the event to come and support. Buy a ticket to support local music it really is as simple as that.

How to actually be a good ex

How to actually be a good ex

How do you be a good ex to someone? Respect them fully and go non-contact for well ever? Is that the ultimate right thing to do?

For some context my and my ex girlfreind broke up around 60 days ago. It wasn't bad in terms of any major drama, but she didn't want to be with me and didn't see a future. I told her I didn't think it was right, but I let her go without really a fuss, and we said goodbye. Now it's been no contact ever since. I removed her from my social media, but didn't block her. I've not checked her social media or anything, really.

I suppose this how things will be forever, which, of course, if it's what she wants that fine. I do feel like there are two things that are unresolved, though. I booked and paid for a holiday a month before we broke up, meaning I had to go alone. And I did lose money on the trains and some hotels. She said she would pay her half, but of course, we haven't spoken. I'm not sure if she is just avoiding the issue or trying to be kind to me by letting me heal. Still I would like to tell her not to worry and I have made the money back so it's not ideal but not really a problem. I have more money than her.

The other thing is that even though I've cut her off, I'm not mad with her. We do live in the same city, so we might run into each other, but then that's probably really unlikely. I don't want to be friends with her, but also we don't have to bitter about the whole thing if we ever did meet.

So yeah, she did really hurt me, but I still love and care for her, so I still want to be the best 'ex' I can if you can understand that.

Not all doom and gloom either because I've lost a decent amount of weight and play some of the best gigs of my life (I am a musician)! So yeah, let me know what you guys think would be the right thing to do

If you can handle the anxiety going by yourself is awesome

I booked a trip to towers for the last two days but my girlfriend dumped me. Luckily, I found a friend too come with, but after day one (and ride on 13 and spinball) he just couldn't do it lol. So with no other choice I solo'd today. It seems a bit on unfair, but I literally had walk ons on spinball & oblivion. 13 probably took 10 mins, but it was pretty good. Even though it was really hot, I managed to ride a lot! Rides that don't have solo ques were still okay, and I talked to a few people, so it wasn't completely anti-social. Anything with a single rider que was just walk on, though.

Still sucks she left, but actually, you're going by yourself incredible on certain rides it's top tier. You might be super anxious, but it's actually pretty alright. You can just do whatever you want. Don't be scared to do it, it's great
