Are you always the heartbreaker or the broken-hearted one? Do you always break other people's hearts or who always suffer from a broken heart? WHich one would you rather be? :D

I'm always broken hearted, my friend. That is why I have a trauma in finding love. I'm afraid to be broken hearted again but still hope there is a time to find the right girl for me...It's hard to love someone but betray you after all the sincere commitment that you gave. If I give love I'll make sure that I love the woman I like. I don't want to hurt someone that is why it is better that I suffer loneliness that girl I love...Sad, my friend. How about you?

Thanks for the words of compliment you said here, my friend. Yes, I agree with you fail is not a sort of losing hope but a kind of challenge for not stopping to look for a good one. How about your relationship you have a good one?

That's sad to hear but I am still glad that you never lost hope in finding that one true love for you. Despite all the pain of failed relationships, I guess people should never lose hope and continue finding their happiness. I believe failed relationships aren't really bad because they make us learn our mistakes and help us be better people so we will be the greatest we can be when we finally find the right one for us. :D

I think I have been both .I have had about as many heartbreaks as i have broken hearts but for me I usually het my heart broken first and then I end up leaving the heartbreaker but usually at a time when they least expect it and that is how they get their heartbroken.I would rather be the heartbreaker,heratbreaks are hard ,it took me almost a month to get over my first heartbreak

That's actually very interesting. Thanks for your answer. I got curious because i choose the other way around. I'd rather be the one who's heart-broken. I just don't want people hating me. i also don't want to feel the guilt of having broken somebody's heart. At least I can say that eventhough I had my heart-broken, it's only me who got hurt and I can have all the reason to find someone new. I think I would have a hard time looking for someone new if I were the one who caused someone's heartbreak. but of course this is just hypothetical lol. i haven't really been in such a situation, and i hope I won't be in the future. I think it's safe to say that all of us just want to have a peaceful and happy relationship that is why we keep on searching for the RIGHT one. We all love happy endings right?...hehe :D

I do not like them. because all cause pain. In my experience, I was the one who often broken heart. when my husband said do not love me anymore. I became one of the most hurt.

thanks indahfth! you're right, both are really painful and sad. noone for sure would want to be in any of those situations. im sorry about your husband. I have to say that it's painful to have a boyfriend break your heart, all the more if it's your husband who breaks it. :(

I was once a broken-hearted one and once a heartbreaker. I must say either of these two roles is not a good experience for a good man. in my opinion, the relationship should be ease and enjoyable. two people must be happy to be together. if not why to stay together. to break the hearts of others is always to be an evil and will be paid back.

I really hope there are still a lot of men out there like you. :D I really like it when men know what the rule of karma is so they don't have to do something which they don't want to be done to them.

In my life I have found that I am always the one that ended up with a broken heart. I had a total of four serious boyfriends in my life, now one of them is my husband, but the other three broke my heart. The first was probably the hardest because we had a relationship for over a year and then one day out of the blue he called me and told me that he didn't want to see me ever again. Then the second one was a bit older than I was but jealous. He couldn't deal with the fact that I was in college and lived in a co-ed dorm so that did us in. Finally there was the total jerk. He wasn't at all who he said he was and he broke my heart in the fact that I am such a trusting person that I believed the load of crap that he fed to me.

Those are a lot but I am sure everything does not matter now since you've found your wonderful husband already. What's nice in those experiences is that you'll get to see the beauty of the one you chose when you compare him to those jerks before him.lol. Those bad relationships makes us realize eventually that there are better people in this world and that we are lucky to have been out of those bad relationships..Happy MyLotting!!!!

Girls are usually the heart breakers while most guys are broken hearted. Girls are very choosy these days and choose guys who are better in their option negleting others. they cant say yes to more than one person as she have a to have an affair with one at a time.

In the past I have been in both kinds of situations, I have been the heartbreaker and I have also been the one with the broken heart. I think that the worst situation was the one where I had to break someone's heart. I was very painful for me having to hurt the other person, because he was really serious about our relationship, he wanted us to get married etc. I hated the idea of destroying his dreams, and I kept postponing it because it was so hard for me to hurt him, but I knew that I would also hurt him if I stayed with him without loving him, so I had to break up with him no matter how painful it was. Of course it was also very painful to be the person who was broken-hearted. I have tried it more than once, but the worst break-up happened two years ago. We had been together for almost 6 years and it was very hard for me to get used to living without him, but now I see our break-up in a different light and I know that breaking up was the right thing to do. I am in a new relationship now, and I am very happy.

Broken hearted one and I ask many a time from Allah why it has to be me? I believe there is no preferance whatsoever, there are some born to take the pains and some to give the pains.

I always pick bad men, and get my heart broken. I would rather just be normal, and be in a normal relationship. I am not out to break anyone's heart, and wish the same to be returned.

Very true! Who doesn't want a peaceful and decent relationship right? If we can always be happy, then let's all be happy.

I think that I would be the broken-hearted one. I don't think I've ever broken anyone's heart, but if I did have to choose one or the other, I think I would prefer to be the heartbreaker.

I had played those roles before and none is better than the other in my experience. There's always emotional pain, regret, disappointment and anger at times.

Hi, calai618. I am the one that is broken-hearted. I am not out to be a heart-breaker. Before that happens I get my heart broken faster. I can't be a heart-breaker. My heart is too gentle for that.

Its sad to say but I'm the one who's always got the broken-heart, I guess its because I wear my heart on my sleeve all the time, and I'm always vulnerable. I think I'd rather be the broken hearted one, because the heartbreakers are cruel, I couldn't do that to someone.

I am always the broken hearted one. If it isn't a relative hurting me then it is making the wrong choices with me. Ugly. I have suffered from a broken heart both from a certain relative and from men. I thought I would not live through it. My heart would never heal but it happened and I did.

I'm not a heart breaker or a broken-hearted person. But I feel for them who have problem in heart. Doctors repair hearts. Thanks to them.

I think I'm a bit of both...I've broken the occasional heart, but not on purpose, and as with us all, I've had my own heart broken, as well. I guess this is life? It hurts, though! Karen
