Broken heart - This is like me

As some of you know my boyfriend and I broke up last May. He was my love and my soul mate. We had so much in common and we even finished each others sentences. Everyone who knew us thought we were a cute couple. I loved him so very much. I wont go into details about our break up but he broke up with me. At first it didn't bother me too awfully bad because I figured he would miss me and come back. I even left him messages telling him I was there for him if he needed me. He totally shut me out. He would not talk to me. Would not call me. Would not email me or anything. Well my heart had a really hard time with this. I cried almost every night. Wondering why. I now know it wasn't meant to be. I was just so in love. That I couldn't see there were problems. OK so now you know the whole story or at least most of it. Anyways my question to you is: Did you ever love someone so much and thought they were the "one" Only to find out that they didn't have those feelings for you and broke up with you. How did you deal with it?? Would you get back with them if they wanted to come back? I think sharing with you guys is therapeutic and I really need to move on. I think this will help. I will look at each comment and make my decision about how to move on when all comments have stopped. Thanks:)

It is very painful to break up with someone when we are in love. I have had my heart broken and unfortunately more than once. However you do heal and you do move on and meet other people. The love you felt for this guy you can feel again for someone else as those feelings came from within you. Just look after yourself as you don't need a man to make you complete and once you realise that you will gain a lot of freedom and inner peace. You will know when you are ready to date again, it will just happen out of the blue, you will see that new special someone and as it is almost spring I am sure it will be soon for you if that is what you want.

My heart broke in a million pieces also - although I was the one to breakl it off. i was sooo inlove, however he was an abisive man and I knew that I had to get out. Now 2 years later I do not even know how or why I stayed that long. I was blinded by him, Would never even consider taking him back - but my story is alot different from your I guess =) But abroken heart is a broken heart and the pain is still the same!

I'm glad you were able to get out of that one. Yes, a broken heart is a broken heart. It still hurts.

I don't know the whole story but I'm sure the pain is indescribable. I can sense in your posting that you have already started to collect the million pieces together though not sure how far you are but definitely, you are moving in the right direction. Although our love life did not turn out the way we expected, at least once in our life time, we were privilege to experience this wonderful feeling called love which will always be a part of who we are. I don't think there are any other options left but to move on though this is easily said than done. I've never been through the same experience but I know what love is and I know too that life must go on no matter what. I wish you all the best my friend.

If you move ahead and take up new interests, he will notice. Men only want women they cannot have, so become more independent. Do not call or email him. Pretend he does not exist. Get busy making new friends. When he finally does call, tell him you are on the other line and you will call him back. Then dont call until the next day, he he. Can you tell I know how to handle men? You must learn to be your own person, not a part of a man. Be totally yourself and all good things will come to you. Not the least of which will be a brand new wonderful guy to love you.

LOL Thanks But I haven't had contact with him in 5 months so I am already doing that part. I know how to get a man and usually can handle them as well. This guys was totally different from any man I have ever met so none of the usual things work on him. But anyways I would not take him back now. So i am pretty much moved on. Just need to vent a bit, I guess.

I really don't want to go into the details of why we broke up. Although it wasn't that bad. I didn't cheat on him or anything.I honestly think it was just an excuse for him to get out . What do you mean did he ask me out/? when we were first together he did, yes.

Straight talk, You had a relationship that was heaven while it lasted and now it is no more. There is a line that I heard sometime ago and this is what it says "Every relationship comes with an expiry date" The problem is we dont know that date. Move on and keep this in mind. I know this comment is going to attract a lot of flak, that if we keep this in mind the relationship will not be fulfilling, but people on the contary it will reduce your expectation and may help the relation last longer. Forgive but don't forget and move on.

Before I would start my journey back to the gloomy days I had before and go on narrating my horrible break up story, I should say.. please move on and give yourself a chance to be happy again.. someone a lot better is just somewhere in the corner, just don't close doors...you deserve to live a happy life! ok... succumb with me as I go down the memory highway... I once had a boyfriend who was also renting a room in the same house I was getting mine. He was actually my friend's cousin and after a few days of seeing each other in the house as plain friends, we started dating and eventually got official. everything seemed to be so right and I was even having those illusions on my head of having a family with him... but my happy days didn't last forever coz just a day after our monthsary he told me straight to my face that he was still into his ex and thus he's dumping me for her... now, isn't that disheartening? Yes you read it right, he dumped me off for his ex...and it did cut the deepest... I cried a lot when I was telling my mom about my break up early in the morning the following day coz I really needed a shoulder to cry on... she advised to just ignore it and move on..never show to him that am affected..but how could i pretend I was ok?...and add to that, my studies was pretty affected coz of that dilemma and my friends suggested I needed to unwind so we went out of town...only to find myself in the Hospital with a few stitches on my head after I got drunk and met an accident... how's that? but am glad I got over it not so late...and now am very happy with my boyfriend...and we've been planning of getting married soon... so, all I could say...there's still a lot of good things for you to live for and your life doesn't end when he dumped you... move on and you'll realize why God put and end to your connection with your ex. Godbless!

Well i HAVE to comment to this because i to like you was head over heels in love with my ex and we were together for eight months to be honest it was the longest relationship i ever had and then he broke it off i thought we would be together forever. I got so depressed when he left i wanted to kill myself for awhile but i didn't thank goodness and then there were times when i wanted to hurt myself but knew that wasn't the answer he broke my heart and about a month afterwards i let him know exactly how i felt and what a crappy thing he did to me and that made me feel a ton better. I mean men can be such jerks. You just need to let all your feelings out and try to get on with your life and realize that in the end you woudn't have been happy either with him you would have realized it sooner or later but it would have happened i wish nothing but the best of luck to you

Mssnow, I can understand the tarnish you are going through, love is such a strong feeling and yet we are still trying to understand why? We would go distances for love, but when you get hurt that's definitely an emotional roller coaster ride. Many things happen in your life. Habits change, thought patterns change even confidence levels change. Of course I never felt broken in a million pieces but I tell you, if I lost my soul mate today i'd probably die. But I think moving on is the best medicine, change your routines, change your habits, your thought patterns. You may even need to move to a different location. These things may help improve your inner self and streghthen your self confidence. Besides you seem like a smart pretty woman, I'm sure some lucky guy will be there to sweep you off your toes. I hope this helps? Regards, WireSurge.

Yes I really did learn from it. He was my first everything. He made me believe that he love me then he broke up with me but then again we keep on getting back together without the verbal reassurance. But his actions before still considers that he cares for me. Because he was my first and only person I've ever been with, I thought that I can't live with any other person but him. But reality bites, We're so over now.

huny, that is not strange for me to hear about what u said cause that are the men ,we are strong when we loved ,gave them all what we can present and not easy for us to leave them ,we think they are fell with the same way but they dont and even when the relation is up ,you who cry,suffer.pain and ready to fix things but he dont and he can forget u easy you cant right? we have an example here in my country said : take the man that he loved u not the one u loved meaning ...if the man loved u more than u did you will keep his love for ever and if i follow that example i will be the happiest woman but i dont so im also have abroken heart although i presented to my lover things he cant even dream with but finely those are the men ..those are the men easy to stick on you and easy to left u ..keep on your life and be happy cause he is right now and dont cry on mass. god bless u

I've never been so deeply in love with anyone, so my heart's never been broken in that sense, and I dont think that it ever would, because even if someone does that to me, I wouldn't be that weak as to keep crying over it for a long time. That's because I always value myself over others. If anybody does that to me, I'd think:"She was just one loser and I cant let her destroy my life like that". Thus I would move on with my life, thinking that I have much more important things to do and acheive then being crying over "what's been done and cannot be undone" (Shakespeare's words in Macbeth). That's exactly what I recommend to you as well. Give priority to your own life and issues, not hers. That is the way to do justice to yourself. VALUE YOUR OWN SELF OVER WNYONE ELSE. That might sound rude to a lot of people, but taken its true sense, its indeed very true. -Hope that helps. Goodbye!

Sorry, actually I couldn't find time to fall in love with some one. But surely before giving up my entire feelings for a single person I would definitely judge her first. However, I believe human mind is peculiar and there is nothing to theorising on it. I wish you would recover soon from the bad feelings.
