Have you ever been deserted?

I feel like I've been deserted by that someone I love. He just left without a trace and out of my life forever, it's been a week and I can't contact him whatsoever, we had a serious fight and he just decides to stop talking to me. We are far so it's not easy because you can't actually confront the person nor the circumstance. His sister told me though to just let him be, perhaps he's just got a lot on his mind, I know I must heed but it's really hurting being deserted just like that. Have you ever been deserted by someone? Or have you ever felt being deserted? How did you deal about it?

Love one desertion is not a good one. My advice to you is to heed to your sister in law advice. Let your boyfriend cool down. No one likes an argument and sometimes we say/do things that we regretted later but after thinking and rational it out he/she will return. Just pray that he is safe. A little argument cannot break up a long lasting relationship if both partners love each other.

I hope you're right, false hopes hurt more.

Hi laydee, Im sorry to hear about that. I guess the best thing to do is pray for him and let him enjoy the space and maybe after that break, he will contact you again... I've never experienced that...I have small fight with my husband but we always settle it right away, he is very patient and all the time, he is the one who will approach me since I have this silly pride! Anyway, sometimes, people need a break, a time where they can think, evaluate the situation and after that, I am sure he will talk to you!

I have lost hope that he'd ever contact me. It's been a week now, and truly I feel hopeless. Anyhow, I'm trying my best to just let things be, and perhaps it's a sign to tell me that we're not a match. It's really difficult though. I have never expected he could do such a thing, and only a few days before my birthday. *Sigh*

I've been deserted too by my ex boyfriend. He just disappeared without saying goodbye or anything. I waited for him for a year and after 3 years he just showed up and act like nothing happened between us.

I hope you are feeling better about this situation. I cannot comment on what to do as i have not got the full details. i felt deserted 11 years ago when my Fiancee walked out on me for another girl. It took me several years to get over that.

I really hate those 'another girls'. Why do they do that? I do strive to not be in that situation, when the person is committed, I stay away. I'm sad for what happened to you, but I guess it's a good thing too, to see what he's really made of. Perhaps I should see the positive things here as well. If he could desert me like this, then he's someone I can't truly count on in times of problems. But, *sigh* ... love him still.

Wow I am sorry to hear that ,I hope it works out for you eventually but I think you should do as your sister says and give him some time.I can just imagine what you are going through though and I would be going out of my mind but I think you should just take it easy and wait .Unfortunately you must embrace the idea that he may not come back and be able to live with yourself after that .I have my fingers crossed though that it will work out for you

The concept of him not ever coming back has gone through my mind each night. He once told me not to attach my happiness to someone else, he was a pretty independent guy. I guess he's right, it can't mean that without him I can never be happy again, or do things that I normally like doing. But I guess what's really hurting is the fact that I've always seen him as someone I could spend my life with. The balance of my unbalanced ways. I guess he grew impatient with my imperfections. I know I can move on to life, and embrace the reality of him not coming back. But I had wished he'd not deserted me like this, and just told me straight that he's gone out of love. That would equally hurt, but at least it won't leave me thinking and longing for his return. I just want peace. Thanks for your sympathies..

maybe your boyfriend needs space and he wants to think.try to evaluate yourself what are things you did which made him to go away without telling you.If you did your best in your relationship then you should not guilty of.You need to move on.Do things that will boast your self-confidence.Prove that you are somebody.And ifever he comes back then he'll see that you are better than before.I know it's not easy but you will end as a loser if you don't want to move on.I know that time will heal the pain.If you love him still, of course you can't force yourself, but as time goes on, changes will happen.Set him free, if he come back then he really loves you. But if not, then he doesn't deserve your love and you can still meet more deserving guy who will love you truly and unconditionally. Have a great day! SMILE always...there are many opportunities around.Happy mylotting!

Thanks for your thoughts. Perhaps in a few months' time, I would have the same confidence as I had before this occurred. I guess it's tough really, but you're right, I'd be a loser if I won't force myself to be okay. I am forcing myself to be fine and I'm hoping that someday, I won't need to force myself to be fine anymore. Thanks for dropping by.

I know you can do it.Make your situation a blessing in disguise in the sense that you'll be better than before.Make yourself more beautiful and do things that will make yourself improve like gaining more skills and talents, etc.If you feel the pain, just cry, but that will be replaced with courage and new hope. I know you can do make it...have a great day! Thanks for appreciating my comments.

laydee, I am sorry to hear what you are going through at this time and I am equally disappointed of your boyfriend. I really do not condone and agree with his doings especially when it is deliberate and irresponsibly put to you. His disregard of your feelings and concern for him is just deplorable. I would not even want to reconsider and give this episode another second of thought or worry, even if the sting of pain is unbearable here. Because, no matter how much you put into worrying and wondering you are not going to get the answers for his sudden withdrawal. Life still goes on, so just move on, maybe he just does not deserve you and I am sure that there will be someone better. Have a nice day.

Mentally I know it's time to move on, and I know that perhaps there will be someone better, and all those things. But you see, when you love someone, *sigh* you just can't help but grab on to the tiniest of hope. I know it's pretty stupid. But I guess that's how relationships fall apart. I have come to the end of my crying nights though. I didn't cry for 2 nights already, I guess that's a good thing.

laydee, I would be really glad if you could really overcome your grief and move on. I understand and would not be against hoping against hope, however, you need to realize that your boyfriend had walked out without any rhyme or reason. Furthermore, without even telling you or informing you what is happening. There may be reason(s) for his doing but if he has any decency, sense of responsibility and obligation - the least he could and would have done was to speak with you. Your ways may not be his, neither may mine, but if you would just ponder here - would you do such a thing to someone you love? Someone who has a place in your heart and mind? If your answer is No here, then should his be as well. For your sake, I really hope that you can move on, at least you can consider that he has here. Take care.

If I am not mistaking then it must be more than a week since he left you without any trace of himself in your life. I myself am very arrogant on such topics. So, if you ask me I would suggest you to leave him alone for a month or two and start dating someone else. He will come back to you. For me, I don't know what deserted is or what does it feel but I do know that it is not cool that we loose a friend who was some very special to us! LOL! I have been in such sitation most of the time that I had to cry for hours, just to get rid of the sad thoughts I used to have with me!

well i too was deserted once , well i dont noe if she loved me or not , but i luved her very much , but once we both had a fight and she just left me , i tried to contact her and tell sorry to her but she was nowhere to be found , but recently she met me , she talked nicely but there was a lot of change in her attitude, she was no more like the person whom i loved. i dont no y she turned up this way . still i luv her and hope that she would understand my feelings . the only thing i can say here is , if u loved ur boyfriend very much u wount be able to forget him , and dont even try to do that so becaz it will then be very painful for u . the tide of time will fix every thing .

Yeah, perhaps he just realized he didn't love me. Yeah, time will heal this, but I know I'd not recover quick.

Until now,i`ve never met this things,i have a good relationship with all of my friends.If this really happen- i dont know whether who have mistakes between you,if i`m the wrong one,i should do sth to affect him or let him know what am i thinking.but if he is the wrong guy,i think a mediator should be needed and it is best that the one could be your both friend. well,i hope you could have a good solution :)

you feel deserted when there is no one to share your feelings or there is one person who is missing whom you would love to be with, in spite of having many of your friends along. i feel it most of the time when there is no 1 around to share my feelings, and im left alone at home.i don't have much close friends and so i feel deserted most of the times.
