It’s over

News

Charlotte has left me. Her rings lie by the phone alongside 12 years of memories.
I don’t know what to do. I just don’t know what to do.

  4. Dude, I’m really sorry. That sucks. Twelve years? Man. I can’t pretend to know what you are going through, but I can offer you my condolences.

  5. Jesus, Cas. I know nothing of your history together but that’s terrible news. 12 years is a lot of memories.

    And Tulsi, this isn’t the time for trolling.

  7. …

    You have my thoughts and prayers… Just say the word if there’s anything I can do for you here in the States…

  8. Ouch… 🙁
    But… since you posted maybe you can tell more… you have any clue? I mean why she did that? or was a sudden decision?
    not that is going to solve the problem – just if you want to talk about it of course…!

  11. Hey Cas, sorry to hear. You’re a good man with a strong heart, you’ll pull through.

  12. I wasn’t trolling at all, just giving my lights of hope! In more clear words: if life hits you, you don’t necessary have to fight back.

  13. Wow – that’s really tough. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Don’t try to work through this by yourself – talk with a professional or a minister or just a good and loyal confidante.

    I’m sure the pain is immense right now, but, like physical pain, it will lessen with the passage of time. Good luck.

  16. I guess you wouldn’t have posted this if you didn’t want some comments.

    I got really close to what you’re going through just a few weeks ago myself. Things are looking up now, but if it happened it wouldn’t have been a hasty decision. I’ve known my wife for six years now and the decision to split up would have been six years in the making. Nothing like this happens overnight. We both felt it happening and just dreaded having to do something about it. When we needed the strength to act we found ourselves instinctively turning to each other, and then we knew that all wasn’t lost.

    Try not to despair.

  19. I know what you are going though, I divorced 1 1/2 years ago and it was VERY rough!
    I wholeheartedly recommend you to go to http://www.divorcecare.org and sign up for their daily E-mails and find a group near you where you can receive support…

    As a matter of fact, I took the liberty to go to their web site and find you a place and phone number where I believe you can receive help from one of their support groups (I believe their address is near you, but I am not sure as I am from Costa Rica). It works, but you´ll have to be brave…healing from divorce ain´t necessarily a walk in the park:

    The King’s Centre
    Unit 6, Sylvan Road
    Wellington, Somerset, England

    Phone: 1823-665-622

    Force yourself to eat and try to sleep enough. Try to stay away from any unhealthy compulsions (which are very normal at this stage). I really hope this advice is not necessary…

    May God give you strenght and comfort…

    Saludos,

    Alberto

  20. Sorry to hear it, but hey that means now you’ve got more time to make cool games!! Man if my wife ever left me I’d be one broke a– bastard.

  21. Terrible. I know how tough it is to split with someone after only a few years so I cant imagine. If you need anything you know how to contact me.

  22. Hi everyone, I’d just like to say that I’m so touched by all of this and I really don’t know what to say, just that I’m still alive but I’m pretty fucked up and might be a bit random for a while.

    Oh, and my house sale just fell through.

    And Charlotte just wrote off my new truck (she’s ok).

    Love you all,
    Cas 🙂

  24. Best wishes Cas. When I split up with Warren Marshall (aka Savant) after 1 month I was heartbroken but I got over him really quickly, and now see what he has turned into.

  25. yeah cas, don’t end up like savant. he’s still trying to get over the relationship by taking it out on clones!

  26. You people… turning this into a chance to insult someone…

    Do I scold you or laugh alongside with you? Stupid ethical dilemas…

  27. Uber sorry to hear the situation Cas. My prayers go out to you as well, and hope you can steer through the storm to find some peace.

  28. mate titan attacs is legend

    thats shit that the deveoper of it

    got owned by life

    nothing is fair

  29. Truly sorry to hear that. Phil Steinmeyer’s advice is good – that might not be the exact forum for you (maybe it is) but now is a good time to hang out with people instead of machines. I wish you happier days ahead.

  35. Jeez Cas, sorry to hear this.

    I’ve been through it myself, and all I can say is the pain does go away, slowly.

    Don’t let it take over your life, look at what you’ve achieved, what good times you had together, and look to the future.

    I’ll be thinking of you =)

  36. 🙁 I can’t imagine that happening to me. I wouldn’t know what to do either. Hang in there, though. Everything fades with time – if you let it.

  41. I know it doesn’t mean anything, but I”ve had this page bookmarked in my daily links list since I saw what happened, and I’m keeping it there. Do what you need to to feel better, just don’t hurt anyone or yourself too bad.

  42. Oh crap man…

    keep your chin up, and don’t bash your head too hard about “how’s” and “why’s”, it won’t help. Find comfort in activities and things you liked, and she didn’t. Give it time, and take care…

  43. Hello Cas:

    We don’t ‘know’ one another; in life, or virtually, even. About a year ago, you’d sent me email admonishing me for buying an extremely out-of-date game from you! (When does THAT ever happen?) I was so tickled, as most people would just take the money and think me somehow ignorant. But no; you’d let me know that it was old (you’d almost seemed embarrassed about it…how cute), and unsupported, and you’d be happy to refund me, if I’d like. When I wrote back telling you it was no mistake, that I was indeed well aware….also how much I loved Robotron 2084 back in the day…..and was delighted to find A) Ultratron, and B) for MAC (!!)….and that I’d also played your online ‘Puppy Invaders’ incessantly….you’d very kindly sent me the beta of Titan Attacks. (Holy run-on sentence, Batman!) That was such a lovely gesture (and a fine representation of old-school arcade classics). I’ll never forget that; such a friendly fellow to someone whom lives clear across the globe, when you had absolutely no reason to be. It may have been no big deal to you, but I’d thought it was fantastic.

    Anyway. Played Titan Attacks this morning, and found the ‘new version’ message afterward. Haven’t been on your site in quite some time (been playing a lot of RTS lately…it began with Tribal Trouble and escalated from there!), so started snooping about, and found the blog link, which I’d never ventured into previously.

    Oh my. I’m so terribly sorry to hear about your predicament. It actually made me sad, though we’ve never met (even my boyfriend, Matt [I may have mentioned back then that he’d worked for Rockstar], said “Oh no! Isn’t that the guy that sent you the beta? That’s too bad!”).

    I guess I just really wanted you to know that you’re absolutely lovely, and that you touch peoples’ lives, though you may not be aware how much or in which ways. We’ve all been through similar trauma, and though you may feel as though your heart is teetering in a wholly precarious place, at best, it WILL heal. Just surround yourself with the people whom make you happy, and distract yourself with things that you enjoy doing. Best not to obsess about where it all went wrong and feeling like you’ve failed somehow, though it’s near-impossible to NOT do just that. Ungh…just recollecting, myself….it really does turn your entire world upside down.

    You’ve had some time now, and I really hope you’re doing ok; I’d prefer better than ‘ok’, but I’ll accept that. Keep your pecker up, my dear. I’ll check in from time to time, now, to see if you’ve posted…. 😉

    Here’s hoping the house sold, and that insurance covered the truck. At the very least. :-/
