From today's paper...
"A HEART broken by Holly Valance has failed to win her former boyfriend a shorter jail term for drug trafficking.
Peter Ververis claimed being dumped by the ex-Neighbours star via a glossy magazine after a six-year romance sent him spiralling into "ice" addiction.
Two months after the break-up Ververis was arrested in a raid on his Cheltenham home in September 2006. He had $11,675 in cash, 417.6g of methylamphetamine, and chemicals used to manufacture drugs were also found at the house, which he shared with his brother, Chris.
Ververis told a psychologist he'd planned to marry Valance and turned to drug use to cope as his pain and humiliation played out in public.
"I was cut up. It was a messy break-up," he said in documents tendered to a court. "I read it in a magazine. I saw a photo of her and her new boyfriend in a magazine."
Ververis, 29, claimed his devastation caused a dependency so great he had to sell drugs to pay for his own use.
But the Court of Appeal last week refused to cut his 2 1/2-year jail term."
Valance you did wrong, but Pete... a break-up is an everyday occurance. You should not have let Holly win this by throwing your life into disarray.
Ok, so I don't know Holly or Peter in real life but I do see & hear all too often about people who suffer a "bad" breakup and then let that incident dictate their future and their future relationships.
It's time to get on with it and over it.
You need to know that your ex, like Holly, is less affected than you are and is definitely getting on with their life.
Don't let them ruin anymore than a week and get back involved in living.
Seriously.
Anything else is just pathetic.
