Staying In Love After Breaking Up

Philippines
September 7, 2012 4:38am CST
Being always in love is the most controversial part of my life. After break up, I easily fall in love again. My reason is, I will not stick to the person who doesn't love me anymore. My friends told me to rest for a while and stop loving for the meantime. They are afraid that I may make mistakes again. But I want to ask you mylotters, have you ever feel in love again after break up? What if there is another person who came into your life and express true love? How would I know if I will commit mistakes again if I will not try the new one? Should I wait for years before I decide to entertain new love?

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it. I am in a relationship now and he loves me so much. Facing break ups is not very hard for me. If the person doesn't love me anymore, I would not stick to him. Maybe memories will still be there but as time goes by, wound would be healed until it is really over. Happy mylotting :)

People who break up frequently often look for love as they cannot handle the pain and mistakenly believe that another person will make them feel good. You are not likely to feel good if you do not handle the break up first. There is too much baggage. Give yourself a six month break from guys and sort yourself first or you will only bring baggage to the second relationship.

I agree with riempie, his suggestion is good. Take a break and divert yourself with some other things, if you still have the same feelings with that new guy, then you may continue your relationship

Yes and everyone has different points of view about falling in love. Some people can handle break ups very well and some are not. Some found new love easily after breaking up and some prefers no attachments.

Dealing with issues of love, very confusing. Sometimes, love is too easy to come, but it is also too easy to go. If you, want a love that can make you happy. You have to be careful and really know, who will love you. Do not be so easy to fall in love. There are a lot of fake love.

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it. You are right not to fall in love easily but that's the problem of me. I cannot control my feelings to be in love with someone new after break up. Maybe I don't want them to think that I cannot live without them. Happy mylotting :)

Your friends are indeed right. Stay with their advice. After a break-up one has to give it air, meaning you should concentrate on other things and not search for love after such a short period of time. Besides, real love will find you. Are you insecure that you need a man to be with you all the time? Think about it. You create your own consequences. I don't know how old you are but you seem very young still. Don't look for love. Be happy and confident and love will find you.

I appreciate your comments. Actually, I am not searching for love. They are the one searching for me. I really don't know why I easily fall in love after break up. It is not that I am insecure or whatever and I need a man to be with me all the time. The point is that I easily fall in love after break up. I always assume that maybe the next person would be the right one for me and I don't want to let it slip away. Thank you and happy mylotting :)

Actually, I am also like you but my reason is that I am afraid to be alone or maybe just like your reason.You should not wait for years and as long as you are happy with what you do,then just do it but you should know or feel if that person really likes you.Just be careful when entering into a relationship because that matters a lot.

Thank you for your comments. I can say that my pasts loved me and I loved them as well. We were not meant to each other that's why relationships did not work. Before I am afraid to love. I don't want to make mistakes again meaning I don't want to have failure in a relationship. But there is a saying that those who never win are those who never try. Again thank you and happy mylotting :)

I never had a boyfriend. But I think, you should take chances. Of course, you need to learn from your mistakes. It doesn't have to be years. Why not a few months? Who knows, maybe this person that you met is the right one for you and just let it slip because you're afraid of making the same mistakes again.

I appreciate your comments. You are right. My reason for being in love again after break up is your point of view that maybe the next person I will meet is the right one for me and I just let it slip away just because I am afraid to make mistakes again. Mistakes that I fall in love again not because I have done wrong in my relationship. Thank you and happy mylotting :)

I don't think it should be a rule on how long you should or shouldn't wait before moving on and giving someone else a chance at love. I wouldn't rush it by any means, I would move at a pace that you feel comfortable but chances are if you are questioning it you might not be ready. I've been in a relationship for almost 8 years now and I cannot imagine moving on with someone else, I know it would take me a long time but everyone is different.

I appreciate your comments. All you've said is true. In my case I have to be with somebody new in order to move on. Though memories are still there, as time goes by, wound will be healed until it will vanish. It takes a long time but I don't want to waste time for someone who doesn't love me anymore. Everyone is different. Happy mylotting :)

If you think that you're already prepared for a new relationship, then why not? Why should you wait for a year? Time is too short to waste. If you want to make your new relationship work, then you have to take care of it. I hope you commit the same mistakes again. It really feels great to love and to be loved. Happy mylotting.

Thank you for your comments. You are right, I would not wait for a year to be in love again. Love is like gamble, win or lose that's why I don't waste time hoping to meet who would be the best for me. Happy mylotting :)

I wonder if you honestly fall in love.. or you are just afraid to be left over or... just like the feeling to fall in love (which means in the last case you actually don't love the person but more the feeling/fact to be in love). To my opinion you have to be ready to fall in love again. Ready means to me getting over your ex and those experiences, be ready to give all your attention to someone new. Some people need years for that, some will never get over it, some do it fast and get over it. Fact is: if love is there and you feel you are ready, there is no reason not to go for it. In short: you are the only one who knows what is good for you. BTW there is nothing wrong with making "mistakes", no matter if you wait one week or 10 years.. we all make them.

I appreciate your comments. I understand what you have said and hit exactly what's in me. Maybe you are right. Maybe I am not yet ready but still I like the feeling of falling in love. I am afraid. Maybe it's because of my bad experiences and eventhough I knew that there is no perfect relationship, I am still hoping that there is... and I easily give up if I saw problems which was similar to my past. Thank you. Happy mylotting :)

Hi friend, welcome to mylot. As you mentioned you are already failed in love, then why are you interested in failing in love again? Just concentrate in other things and forget about your love.

Thank you for your comments. I do want to have a break for myself after break up. But I do not close my heart for another chance. I cannot forget about love because I need love. Sometimes my heart speaks more than my mind. Happy mylotting :)

Don't rush things, suddenly you don't know it was just only a rebound, or you feel you want to fall in love again because that person who doesn't love you back, you just want to show him that "I'm okay and I'm ready to live without you" then If you fail with the new guy it will be totally mess up

Thank you for your comment. You are right. I experienced the thing you called rebound. That happened when I said yes we're on to a person whom I thought that he's the right man for me. I really appreciate your comments and I've learned a lesson. Happy mylotting :)

as they say you have to kiss many frogs before you meet your prince maybe through those relationships is how you will meet that number one but it always good to take a break because the moment you go back in the game you will feel right. DON'T FORGET THAT IF GOD WANTS SOMETHING TO BE YOUR IT WILL BE NO MATTER WHAT SO DON'T RUSH

@manduri You are right. As a matter of fact, after the break up, I really want to take a rest but I did not expect I am going to fall in love again. I rely on God always. I know He would give me the right man. Thank you for your comment. Happy mylotting :)

Yes, I feel in love again after break up, but sometimes still we must have more time to be in love again. .Time is important, maybe not years but we must have a time first to yourself and to have a brake for the meantime.. ,Love always can wait :)

Thank you for your comments. I agree with you that we must have a break for ourselves before having commitments again to somebody. Maybe the problem with me is that I give trust easily... believing that I am loved wholeheartedly. Happy mylotting :)

So meaning you loved all of your girlfriends? I don't know but I think I'll stick to what I believe into. I think falling in love with a person is not that easy specially if you just had a break up. If you fell in love again just right after a broken relationship, meaning, you can just let go of the person you love that easy, right? I think your friends are right. You must rest for awhile. And how did you know that you just fell inlove again after break up?

Ooooppss... I have loved all my ex-boyfriends. You are right. For many people, it's not that easy to fall in love after break up. I think I am just as practical as other lovers that I may not waste my time loving the person who doesn't love me anymore. I give myself another chance for new ones. I can say that I fell inlove again because that is what my heart says. Happy mylotting :)
