when you have has a serious relationship for say about 3 years and you break up for whatever reson, is it really all that difficult to move on?? i have seen people getting into drugs and alcohol and all that stuff just to forget his past and i have also seen people making countless efforts to make the relation work and eventually giving up and getting lost in life.. all i want to know is, is it really all that difficult to just leave your past behind and lead a normal life??

I was married for about 3 years and then divorced because my husband physically and emotionally abused me. It was so hard because I got so dependant on him and I married him young, I was 21 at the time of our marriage and at the end I was just turning 24. It was hard and it took me atleast as long as the marriage had lasted to get back to where I was before my marriage. However, I did it without completely falling apart. In fact, in the end I was much stronger then when I first started out. It's hard, it's very hard and I'm not going to lie. For me, it wa like I had to start all over. I didn't know where I belonged because before my marriage I had lived with my mother and after the split I had moved back in with her but I really didn't feel right there because I had origonally left feeling like mommy's little girl but I came back with more life experience than your average 24 year old and so, I was no longer the young youthful girl I had been before I got married. Eventually however, I found my place and I found happiness. Currently, I am remarried and I just celebrated my second anniversary to a wonderful man an individual, one of which I never imagined I would share my life with because I felt there were no good man left but he has proved me wrong however and I'm happier than I have ever been in a really long time. So, you see, it's possible and it can be done and I'm living proof of that .

Life is not the same after break up. It is so hard and painful that you lose someone that you want to be part of your life but it is not enough reason to do bad things. We have to move on for the better not to move on by doing such things that lose your life.

Yes, it is very hard to move on with your life especially when you broke up with someone you really love. It is really hard to mend a broken hard, it would really take sometime.

I think it is really hard to move on after such a long relationship. It seems everything reminds you of that person. You feel lonely. Whenever something happens, good or bad, you want to share it with them. Before I was married, my longest relationship was a year. We broke up at Christmas time, and although it was a bad relationship, it still hurt to be alone. I missed him a lot for a long time. Then I became very angry at him for the things he had done while we were together. Eventually it got to a point where I began to focus on myself and bring back my own self esteem and move on. Then I met my husband and have lived happily ever after... Well, sorta! :D

If you continue to dwell in the past, it would be very difficult. In my opinion, forgetting is much more difficult than remembering. My two cents would be: "out of sight, out of mind." Wallow in misery for a week then never look back. Try to keep yourself busy. Throw away all the things that remind you of the person. If you find yourself thinking of him, divert your attention to things at hand that need to be done. Time is your friend here. The more you do this, you'll be surprised that a lot of time has passed and you're already over him. :) I'm speaking from experience so I know it can be done.

After a break up, it is normal for us to become sad and reminiscent of our experiences with that person. Well, we have to think that the essence of life is to move on after we fall. We have to remain confident and strong to face a new tomorrow and hopefully, with someone better.

Well, they say time is the greatest healer. At first, the break up would be devastating...give it time...grieve if you must...that's normal. Being depressed for a month or two is expected after a break up...but life goes on in spite of it all. I have seen people having been devastated after a break up. I have passed that stage too, and my it's awful. But it's just temporary. Time heals,and after that the person moves on. I guess there is still life after a break up, so even though how difficult life becomes after the break up, people generally pick up in order to move on...that's how bitter-sweet life is...
