Have you ever been in love? Of course you did. But what if the one you love the most had fallen out of love with you? I've experience this first hand and it definitely hurt a lot. I was not able to get over him for a long while. Thankfully, now I can think of the past with no regrets. What did you do to cope up with break-up? Share your thoughts.

Yes I've been and still I'm loving. My experience is different from you because I was the one who have fallen out of love. I broke up with that person and all she did was cry. I felt really sad about it because somehow we had a lot of happy memories together. I've seen her cry even at our classroom, she dealt with it through drinking, going out a lot with friends who were influencing her to drink a lot. Falling out of love is not falling out of love for me. I guess all we did was do the same thing together all the time. I got tired because there's a lot going on that time and we are not growing at the same time. I did not knew that that will happen of course and I never did wished for that to happen. But if I stay then I would be unfair to her and to myself. I'll only hurt her in time,and hurt her more. It is not easy also for my part. All our friends blamed for what happen and I was devastated. A friend advised me not to be affected by what others say, what matter is that I am being true to myself. All I did is pray that someday she'll forgive me and she did.

Yes, it would certainly be unfair to the other party. I commend you for being brave, for honestly telling her what you felt. I believe that in a relationship, although your friends know most about you and your partner, THERE are just things that only the two of you understand. thanks for sharing!

hi there, this is my first relationship, we are each others' first boyfriend and girlfriend but lately we have been arguing about a lot of things. like we complain a lot about each other i can say that i am so heart broken and hurt right now. fighting has become like our weekly activity :( we have talked about it a lot to just let go and move on, but we just can't do it. we can't just let go of each other and throw away 7 years of being together i don't know what to do right now, 6:07 am (Philippines) and i am still awake just thinking about him. i mention him a lot here on mylot about how in love we are with each other but lately, i don't know anymore. i don't know what to do with my life. i just hopw we get through this very soon because it hurts me so much. and i don't even know how i would be if we finally break up, i don't know if i can move on from it without him in my life. it will absolutely destroy me

yeah we talk about it but we just end up fighting. i know i am not a perfect girlfriend but i can say that he is not as patient with me as before. we are not talking right now and i don't know how we are doing right now because he told me i won't be hearing from him i don't know anymore, it's just breaking me right now. i am still hopeful that somehow he will also contact me. it has come to the point where we are just both fed up maybe? i don't know. thank you chie, it is always good to have someone to pour our hearts out and i find that here on MyLot. right now, i am waiting and will still be waiting for him. i know pride is always a bad thing, but i can't just go to him first whenever we have problems. i talk to him first and always beg him to take me back. but right now, although i want some space, the thought of not having him in my life already kills me

It is definitely hard. Have you tried discussing this with him? or maybe both of you just need a breather? Only the two of you can solve this problem and no one else.. I trully hope it will work out for the both of you.

Sorry to hear of your experience. I had someone I cared for very dearly and the fact that he personally faced me to say that he preferred we remain friends helped to a sense because he was courageous enough to speak to me directly and not cheat and or pehaps taken the cowards way out by sending a message. Time and another interest eventually healed my wounds. It was not easy but somehow as I got older I could deal with it better. You are right about no regrets. We cannot regret having loved someone especially if we handle the later situation well. Best of luck to you.

The experience hurt but it taught me a lot. You were lucky that he was brave enough to break up with you personally. Unfortunately for me, he broke off with me through a phone call. Because of that, there were some things not clear for me. We were able to clear some misunderstandings MONTHS later so maybe that was some factor why I wasnt able to move on fast. To love and be loved back is definitely hard gurl. =) But with this, we learn. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it greatly.

hello, Yes, I've been fallen in love for how many times and now I really learned much. So, lets go back to the topic. So, how do I cope up with a break-up? By the help of my friends and family. By friends because I just absorb their positive aura and they always make me laugh that is why I can moved on easily. I mean they really help me. by the help of my family , we are open to each other they know when I have a broken heart or not they usually talk to me seriously and give me some advices. which makes me feel better. that's it good luck

Like you, I can open up to my mom about my problems. Friends too were great to talk with but when I'm all alone, everything sinks back in. Eventually, I was able to get over him through time. Thanks for sharing! =)

If the love is gone then its gone. I experienced it after 7 years. My ex left me when he told me that he did not loved me anymore. My love was over, just like that. You know why.....how can you love someone who does not love you. That helped me to get over it. I only love the ones who love me.

Wow, you are one courageous woman. You dealt with the break up easily, hope I can do that. =)

Break-up has never been easy for a person who has been faithful and took the relationship seriously. But with your family on your back and friends on your side, then, moving on won't be hard. Having fun with them and reinventing yourself helps a lot. :)
