Lots of people have had relationships and felt as though they were in love. They went on for a while thinking everything was fine and suddenly they found themselves dealing with heartbreak. Maybe he/she cheated, maybe he/she lied about something big, or maybe he/she never really cared about you and just used you. I was in a relationship for a long time and found out after devoting years of my life that this person didn't really care about me and cheated on me every chance he got. When I came to terms with it, I was in pain for a long time. I had relationships after that, and nothing good really came out of those either and I blamed what I went through on the cheater. After some soul-searching, and an all out argument with the person who hurt me, I learned and moved on..after I told him exactly how I felt about what he did to me. My question to you all: if you had the chance to say one last thing to someone who hurt you, what would you say?

Brings back memories...... I guess I would ask him, "DID YOU EVER LOVE ME AT ALL?" I think that would be the question that I would wish to be honestly answered. I have been in a relationship before. Although we did not fight before we separated, we just had to coz a lot of people have been involved with the mess. When I stopped calling him and sending him a message, I never received any call from him. I was thinking if it was just his way so that everybody would be at peace or was it something else. I was hoping that he would atleast give me the assurance that he did love me and still do at that time just to make me feel good about it, but he never did.

hi Jenny! often we would ask this question, right. I think i have had this question running to my mind as well in the past with my ex because of a lot of things he did to me and of course those things that he did not do for me.

I asked my ex the same question and all he could say to me was, "I don't know." I think you have to be a certain kind of strong to even ask that type of question simply because you have no idea what the response is going to be..it sounds like the way you two decided to end it was to just stop talking...that leaves a lot of questions..

Hi MissBlack. If the person doesn't know what he exactly feels for you, I guess something is wrong there. The words "I don't know" there are simply signs that any relationship between the two of you should be put to an end. He is simply not certain of what he feels so he is also not certain on what are his responsibilities to you and would not be certain of what your future will be. A failed relationship is more likely to happen.

Hi there MissBlack! It has been a really long time since someone broke my heart. Those memories are so distant since I am happy where I am right now, and I love my family so much. What I can say to those people who hurt me before is just "thank you", since I know that somehow, with what they have done to me, they lead me to where I am right now.

that is true, whatever hurts they caused us... it is sure that they have made us stronger and has contributed to what we have become. I thought of thanking him, but sarcastically. hahaha ;)

I thank my ex every chance I get because he taught me so much. He was one of those inconsiderate jerks who said whatever and never cared about anyone's feelings and now because of him, I am no longer sensitive..there is nothing someone can say to me now that hasn't already been said. I learned how to spot a jerk and deal with them accordingly. He is the type of person who thinks what he did to me is 'tough love' though. He said I was too 'soft'.

My last words would be "GOOD BYE" and " MAY GOD BLESS YOU".

I guess if it makes you feel better by letting it out then telling the person what you think is the best avenue. Deep hurts that lead to endings never seem to have enough words so I have resolved to break it completely. I do remember picking up the phone ready to say to this person that I would never talk to them again but stopped myself in the act. It seemed pointless or maybe even ridiculous. I just cut of communication.

First thought: to hell with you! Get out of my life! Second thought: It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself, because it's not a faught that when he/she no longer loves. The words after my second thought was one of the things I said to my ex. It's not that I'm proud, I'm generous or compassionate or something, it's just that I've learned to know, the one that hurts you lives a harder life than you, for he has to bear the guilt for ever. And I believe everyone will have his permanent life partner if he can wait and be true to his feelings and to his partner. So best wishes MissBlack, a mysterious name:D Light your life up, and you'll meet your sunshine!

Well this sure has reminded me a lot of things that has happened to me in the past, similarly even after so many years of being together, he managed to cheat on me, even after knowing i fought for him because my mom doesn't like him he still cheated on me. I guess many people would really relate to this situation. I think as for me, i have written him an email already before, I told him everything i have in mind, my feelings, how hurt i was and that no matter what I will never return to him anymore. But its going to be different if i see him in reality again, i probably would be lost for words, if you ask me. But i would think i will probably just tell him straight: "I forgive you, but know that you lost someone that could love you more than you will ever be loved. God knows what's best for me and you don't qualify. I am glad that we're through as I am so much happier now, with someone who you can never live to be, even is you try as hard as you can."

Hmm, that's a bit tough because I had a good parting with my ex. We parted ways in good terms so I think there's nothing more left to say. Maybe if I will have to say something again, it will be, good luck and be happy. Because I am now. And I think he is too as he also have his own family now. It is a chapter in my life that is completely closed, no unfinished business, no unanswered questions.

I am sorry to hear about your relationship experience. The last words that i would like to tell him would be " Thank you" . I think that, it is a blessing that you been hurt. They say " what did not kill you, makes you stronger. Take the higher road, do not hold grudges, if he/ she hurt you then just think positively that there will be a better and nicer person that is for you. It is not the end of the world. Make yourself prettier, stronger, wiser, sexier. This next time is the best love ever, tell yourself that.

I would rather erase some things I said then say even more. There is no point in saying any last words to someone who have hurt you and dissappoint you. When I sorted out my feelings I came to a conclusion that silence would be the best response to actions of a person that hurt me. If he never cared for me then he wouldn't care for what I say, no matter if it's "I hate you" kind of message, "goodbye forever" or "why are you so heartless?". I wish I was composed enough back then to keep quiet and just let go like I never cared.
