Meet Jen
Well great news…after several months of hard work, Animator Ron has completed animating our latest story – # 4 last night.
It was then uploaded with a hidden link that was pasted on our So You’ve Been Dumped Stories Facebook group. (Incidentally, that’s the place to be kept up to date with all our news as it’s breaking).
This morning, the video went “live” and the URL for it’s been spreading everywhere all day (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn et al) a few dozen views on day one – that’s not too shabby…
This month’s “real story” is slightly longer at eight or so minutes. Frankly it could have been three times that, but let’s face it, attention spans in the Internet age aren’t what they used to be…
I hope you have ten minutes to have a cup of tea, coffee, a beer or whatever – and kick back and enjoy the video. It’s definitely a cracker.
Ahh this really cheered me up on a low day.
Thanks so much xxx
Thanks Jade! I am so glad you watched and liked it!

hi like many of you ive just been dumped on new years eve and come online looking for some answers.
i think the lady who lost her much loved husband (on one of the sites) gives us all some idea and hope for the future.
their is always someone worse off so do something nice for them – for me it was giving the local homeless guy some food, drinks, money for a hostel and taking time to chat with him on new year eve.
the other thing is when you loose someone do something which give you a good memory to cherish of them – and see how your life can be turned around from being in a very dark place to something which fills you with joy.
i lost my grandfather just before christmas, trying to fight a very difficult disscrimination case myself, so broke im doging bankrupsy, havent been to work for two months due to failing health and surver depression, having a difficult time getting time to my son, and a whole bunch of other stuff which seems to have been dragging out for the past four years following my separation.
but depite all this the girl who dumped me the day after my grandfather passed and then again on new years eve has really done me a huge faviour and its shocking how nasty she has become in the process. so after the dozen odd txts, call and email from her pointing out all my failings and short commings its looks like shes become boared with pestering me – thankfully. my crime to want to snatch a couple of hours during the new year when i came back from spending time with my family after the funeral.
the girl before that dumped me just after i was suspended from owrk for blowing the whistle on disscrimination and resigened my job – she called a few weeks latter to confirm id been dumped and then a few month latter announcing she was coming to london and could she stop over – em nope kinda busy.
the girl i moved to london with was under tragic circumstances when her mom got sick and then passed away – muggins here quit his job and moved to the other end of the country to disscover the girl has quite an acute mental health problem, became physically and mentally abusive to the point where i had to move out for my own safety. i did feel guilty to see her after that and winded up with broken ribs – she was a tiny thing and im more you rugby player size but by hell she could pack a wollop. this time was an accident but then she tried to comitt suiside a couple of days latter. yeh i went to see her and stayed in contact until i got another abusive rant down the phone – after which all ties were cut.
before that id come out a very difficult 11yr on off relationship with another girl who her and her elderly mom would get quite physically abusive but i had a little boy to think about. but 2006 she took my son in the night, cleared the accounts, smashed the phones, let the tires down on the car and defrosted the fridge on new years eve. it was three months before i was informed by her brother that she wasnt comming back and six more before i saw my son. thankfully ive managed to keep great contact with my son and probably the only man who thinks child support agency is a good thing when used properly from increasingly unrealistic demands. (though how the come up with the calculations is somewhere in the either) thank god my ex has finally found a new beau – no seriously im over the moon
so to everyone out their having a really tough time i try to remember the following:
yesterday was disspicable
today was diplorable
but tomorrow,
but tomorrow can always be delightful.
so celebrate the memory of your loved ones who have passed with a happy memory to cherish, thank your ex for doing you a big faviour and change your life for the better – if we all do one random act of kindness think how we can collectively change anything really.
take care everyone and have an amazing 2012 i know im going to make the most of mine, with my son, family and friends and who knows what tomorrow might bring – im rooting for something quite lovely, sane, or even just some sunshine and ice cream.

Awesome. We’ve all been there. My ex boyfriend called me the weekend before Christmas. Hadn’t had any contact for 6 weeks. I was cautious when he called but we missed each other and after spending the last 4 Christmas’ together it was so natural to get back together and enjoy all the things we would normally do. We spent New Years Eve at the beach with his friends and whilst we were having lunch at his friends house the next day we disagreed about something that happened more than a year ago and he announced it was over. Neither I nor his friends could believe it.
