Do we recover?

I've heard it said that time heals all wound...but does it? I always thought of myself as a hopeless romantic until recently. My last relationship kind of left me spinning and now that it's finally over I can't seem to move on. I've dated a few people and just can't seem to stop myself from comparing them with my last relationship. I just so happened to marry a guy who had the kind of problems most people only see on Dateline NBC, if ya know what I mean. It scares me to think that now that I'm divorced that I might not really be able to move on...Has anyone else had a similar experience

Life is what you make....more than anyone else your the best person to know what is good for you. Its all mindset...do activities that will make you forget your ex and avoid activities that will greatly remind you of him.... stop thinking about him......Yeah in time you can recover..... Its not going to be easy but this u have to do for your own good. You have to start it yourself...

I would first like to say that I am truly sorry for your experience. When you love someone, and are hurt by them, it is very difficult to deal with. It is very difficult to move on after losing a relationship that you valued so much. I believe that it is possible, however, to do so. It just takes a lot of determination. I have been able to move on from a similiar experience, but I lost a part of myself along the way. I lost the ability to feel that "ambitious" love, if you will. I miss the ability to just purely love, without doubt and mistrust. I am not sure that this will answer your question, or if it will help. This is my experience, though, and wanted to share.
