Move on mate, life's too short and when you meet someone else you'll wonder why you even bothered.
But as an idea, send your ex-mate a text to suggest he gets to the STD clinic sharp, as it needed a few painful injections in the old chap to rid you of the dose you caught from her
Say a mate gets hold of an old clapped out bike of yours, that he's lusted after for a while. He gives it a a bit of TLC, spends time with it, then rides it hard whenever he has spare time and at the weekends. Do you fall out with him - or the bike?
Not sure if that helps, or even what I'm on about :S
A lot of us have been through that kind of thing and in the end one just has to move on from it or it will eat us up. However it hurts and its important to be able to get it off the chest and if it has to be here so be it.
Sometimes these transitions work but usually only when a relationship has ended naturally of its own accord and both parties have moved on without recriminations.
Times like this are when you look at what you really want from life and it often happens you get to soon see that it's not always a blame game that you must blame yourself or someone else but in fact was a square peg and round hole and two people not actually suited to each other.
The 'mate' issue is far more frequent than one might expect. In a relatively short time you might find you prefer different types of mates and find your way back to the core things that really are important to you.

Are you serious? This is a f..king Adventure bike forum! Get a grip man.[/quote]
and what better place than to get a real fix to the mans problems.
An opportunity for an extended motorcycle adventure, which is what brought me out of the doldrums after my break up. life has been on the up since.
I learned a long time ago after a painful divorce that at times like this you find yourself distrusting almost everyone around you e.g. mutual friends of both you and even your closest mates. People you consider a close friend turn out to be not quite the person you thought they were, and amazingly people you have overlooked come to your rescue. For me it made me realise who my real friends were, you can end up counting those on one hand usually (if you are lucky).
Also, console yourself with the fact that in 12 months time you will think differently about this situation, if not, much less painfully and you may even laugh about it. Your so called mate has overstepped the mark and proved little loyalty. He has played his cards, demonstrated who he is and what he is about. It's now your choice to keep him as a friend or dismiss this person, but at least you know where you stand in the future. If he asks for your forgiveness in the future then all is well, but until that day comes I would keep him at arms length because as I did you will meet a better woman and not need him
Never sell your bike because someone tells you to and all will be well. (thumbs)
She could have thought about getting with this so called 'mate' of yours even before you split properly.
A lot of women are like monkeys.... they dont let go of one branch until they have another one to grab.
