Hi George,<br /><br />I am struggling a bit with this one. I wish I didn't hhave to state the same thing twice in the beginning but if I don't &nbsp;include "I got dumpped" the first sentence could be interpreted in two different ways (volunary leaving a relationship versus not). I don't think "I got dumped after three years in a relatiosnhip/after a three-year long relationship" sounds perfectly fine. If I just say "I just got dumped," the length of the relationship is missing, and I think tat's important (it wasn't a brief summer fling. So in the second version I moved "three years" but now that part soounds a bit clunky. Lastly, although I know that people (and not just young people) use "like" increasingly more in this sense, I wonder if you think it's better to substitute it with "acting that/as if he was in love", etc. Sorry for the verbosity and a big thank you. &nbsp; &nbsp;
