Another heartbreak

Philippines

I just ended up with a 3 year relationship. I thought I won't be able to get over him but I did. I promised to myself that I will never ever let anyone hurt me that much.... too much of a promise... Here's our story: We met at work. We started as friends. It was amazing how two people can share a lot of things about themselves even if they just met. We enjoyed each other's company together with our friends. I find him nice and friendly. Most of the time, we talked about work and past experiences with our previous companies. We were just really friends until few weeks ago... Closeness. I don't know how it happened but we grew closer to each other. We started to share something about us. He gives advices and I listen. I looked up to him. I know that there is something already but I never entertained them because I am too afraid to be hurt again. But I guess it didn't work out. There was this moment when he was nibbling my ear and we just kissed. That is how it all started. I thought we'll give it a try. We had our moments together. We were both happy until our friends started to notice our closeness and when I was about to open my mouth to answer them, there were no words came out to me... maybe I want him to be the one to say it. I know that we were official and committed since we talked about it. Also, I trust him and I just don't see him a guy who would just left me hanging... So I asked him if we can tell them that we are together. That's when it all started to fall apart. Falling apart. Few days ago, we had an argument about "us". He didn't talk to me for few days and it hurt me so much until I can't take it anymore. We decided to talk. The first two words that I heard was... Sorry and Thank you. Sorry because he can't do this anymore and he needs to let go. My heart stops beating that time and I cried. Maybe because he knew what I've been through to get over someone then he would just let go without really trying. I didn't ask for a reason because he just couldn't give me one. He is not ready. I don't play games and he's a typical guy who just started having fun to be tied down in a relationship. I just walked away crying two nights ago. It hurts so much when you know that it's easy for him and not for me. My friends keep on telling me this should be easy since we didn't count months or years. I thought so too but I was wrong since I trusted that person and opened my heart again then he just left. I don't know how to end up this discussion but thanks for listening to me. I miss mylot...

Hi there jesbellaine Honestly, I think that the guy is sort of immature somehow. But, what hurts a lot is that they could not give a reasonable explanation as to why he wants to everything to come to an end in just like that. By the way, what is your status right now? I mean do you still two talk? How's things between the both of you? If you really love him then you will still find a way to work things out but don't push it if he's really not that ready to commit because if he does that the 2nd time around, it may be very painful for you already to handle. Try to go out and have some fun for the meantime and give him ample time to think. I hope things will still work out between you and him. Personally speaking, it's hard to let go of someone that you feel like you're very attached with already regardless of the months weeks or years that you have known a person. Take your life easy, if it won;t work out, someone out there is waiting and will come on the right time. I missed mylot too!

Hello my friend, I just hope you are doing fine right now despite the feeling of being in pain. That is the irony of loving because we tend to get hurt sometimes. We do not want to, but we cannot avoid it. Afterwards, when we realize to accept the fact that it is over, then all we need to do is move on and rise again... Indeed, I am a bit confused in here. One, you mentioned that the relationship ran for three years - that is quite long enough compared to months long. Of course, I never wonder you feel pain inside. What bothers me with this is that, you had a 3 year relationship and it seems like he never made a confirmation to your work mates that you are together? Why? Is he hiding some thing that made him not to confirm it? Besides, you are working on the same company. Two, I sense that there is something missing with this discussion. I mean, the hurt feeling exists because your relationship is hanging and you are not sure how to call it since he never confirms it. I have to assume that you are "exclusive" and not actually "committed". This is just my opinion my friend. You are hurt because you desire that others know your relationship and that you can let all your love and affection be shown. Well, what more can I say. I think you just need to let go of him. Do not be fearful of the pain. It may be hurting in a while, but once you have let it all out, you can rise again. You are not alone in this world. We all go through that stage of loving and pain. Go through the process of healing and when you are ready, just embrace your destiny. I know you will go over this my friend. Keep the faith.

Just accept the truth,anyway maybe he is not the kind of guy who is much worthy for your love.All you have to do is stop thinking about him,enjoy the day of being single again and never lost hope.I know there is someone who will love you till end.

Hey! Hope this comment won't give you a bad impression, but i guess there's no reason to cry and mourn for a past relationship who does not stand beside you. Don't waste your time for a guy who doesn't deserve even a single tear from your eyes, Gather all your strength the man created by you from God is on the way, prepare yourself and don't let him see you torn into pieces by some guy while his out there searching for you. Every princess has a prince it depends if your going to wait for him or stubbornly get someone who was not meant for you, or waiting for someone who does not care about you that much, do you think your true prince will be happy about that? I don't think so..I guess he'll cry also...but I guess his tears will fell with worth, you know why? because its you that his been crying for...and its you that he love and want to spend the rest of his life. SO forget the past live for the present and for your true prince that is on his way to your heart. Go girl! God bless, when you love someone don't base it on your emotions but to commitment.

the way i see it is you have feelings with that guy because he was nice to you and eventually started to fall in love with him in such a short time.im sure you will get over it just think that he is not really worth it because he is not ready for any serious relationship.and always think that he is a player.

I am sorry to hear your pain. Back in September 2009 my boyfriend of 17 months broke up with me. In the end, he said we were more like friends. It took me 9 months of crying, insomnia, depression, self-destructive thoughts and acts.. but I found the support I needed in friends and surprisingly strangers. It's better to end a stagnant relationship, or a relationship not going anywhere, than to sit in it because it's comfortable. Too many times I've stayed in relationships, unhappily, because it felt like too much of a hassle to change it. Someone amazing will walk into your life, so keep smiling.

"When you are hurt or in problems do not bother... Look up to heaven there is our heavenly father." I got three words for You. "Never Give Up". Being a man i know how a girl feels when this happens to her. Dont worry you have friends on Mylot who will make you happy again. all you have to do is wear the smile back on your face. Dont ever think of the problem..if you think you are giving some important place in your mind for the one who does not deserve it. When you share your sorrows it will be divided and when you share your happiness it will be increased. this is a simple formula for life.

ohh thats so sad :( im sorry. i dont know why that guy left you when you wanted share your relation with him with your friends :( maybe when you asked him that he realised he didnt want nothing serious :( anyway i wish he one day regrets what he did and maybe he realises he really love you. like you said it happened few days ago right? you still work with him isnt? so maybe when he sees you he realises he needs you and say sorry and prove his love to you^^ maybe you shouldnt lose hope for now bcs for what you told he seemed to love you and maybe he is just afraid of a serious relation.

my thoughts about this is simple...never give up! i know it's hard and it hurt. i am sure all of us experience heartache, who doesn't? but it's how you stand up that matters most. try to pick yourself then move on and make sure you keep on loving, heartache and pain is part of it. 20 years from now, as you look back at your life and you didn't gave up...i am sure you will be happy and will tell yourself, i am glad i moved on and loved...the right man will come along i assure you that...:)

If you invest real emotions in a relationship, it doest matter how much time you put in it, it will always hurt the same when it ends. But I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he really like you but he dont want to be the rebound relationship, or maybe he's just not ready like you said. At least he ended it sooner, instead of leading you on. You'll find the right guy in time, just enjoy single life. When you're permanently committed, i bet you'll miss it. ;)
