For me, the only way I could get over a broken heart was to move on to another partner. I would go out and have fun, like most people say to do, but in the end I was still going home alone. I would still feel that void of emptiness when I got into the bed. I wouldn't necessarily look for another man, but I was never single more than a week for some weird reason. Although the guy was never what I really wanted, I was always happier than being alone. And I would quit thinking about my x, henceforth no more broken heart.

But even you have a new partner you can't stop comparing him to the old one right? Its not easy to find another man that you will love most they say that it will come on the right time.. I agree with you in going out and having some fun making yourself busy to forget... but at the end of the the day you cant deny the fact that your still broken...:(

Well I never did compare my x boyfriends now that I think about it. They were so different. I would go from a cowboy who listens to nothing but country to an aspiring rapper. I've dated an x army guy then went to a redneck.lol none were bad guys but none really stood out either. But yes if you wait and are patient, I believe the right person will come to you. I met my husband almost 5 years ago and he really is my soul mate. I could have lived with the guys I dated, but I couldn't live without my husband. And that's what you should look for.

Hi, its good your friends are open to discuss matters affecting them, I think that is the best medication to heal a broken-heart. What I knows is, matters of the heart are much complicated than that of mind, but the best thing is there is always bridge through both of them. If one allows his/her mind to rest and think of reasons why the relationship didn't work out, and use the weaknesses of the previous relationship as abase of starting a new one...., then I hope history will cease from repeating itself. The other way that has worked best with me is by writing down absolutely opposite of my true feelings, trying so hard not to think about of my broken heart but to force my mind to think positive..

Thats true, they told me that its just so hard to forget someone that you once loved most, when your together you both got a lot of plans in the future and then at one point all of it will be trashed.. its easy to say Move on but i know that this is the hardest part, but we need to experience such broken relationships for us to be strong in facing life's challenges
