I was broken hearted before. I had a serious relationship for almost 8 years. We are engage to be married. But the relationship was not meant to be so we broke-up. Even when we are still so much in-love. It took me 4 years to get over her. How long does it take to move on? How long was it for you?

I was broken hearted over and over again. Everytime I fall, I try to get up and move on again. My philosophy is that, life goes on no matter what. So even if I love my ex so much and he hurt me and left me, the next day, I try to have a positive disposition again and move on to the next phase of my life. I strongly believe that God wouldn't take someone or something important from you without replacing it with someone or something much much better.

You are right that God wants the best for us. My experience was extra painful for me because my ex was seeing another guy behind my back. It took me two years to get over the experience. One day I was telling God that I was lonely, and I needed someone. The next few months I met a wonderful girl who is a million times better than my ex, and we are getting married in June. Keep up your positive attitude, the best one is coming.

Sometimes we have trouble moving on because deep down inside, we don't really want to. Maybe you didin't really believe that it, "was not meant to be". I'm glad that you were able to move on. Just look at how much you learned from the experience! As to the question you poised for the topic of this discussion, for me personally, I don't know if I will ever be ready to trust to that extent again. I'm not sure that I could take it if I had to go through that much hurt again. I realize that I may not be hurt, but then, I might and I just don't think I can do it again. But I'm really happy for you!

That's really sweet and I thank you, but I don't really feel as though I am missing out on much. My mother is living and I have one biological sister, 3 of my 4 best friends are still living, I have 7 neices and nephews and 7 great neices and nephews. I feel very fortunate in this. I have learned that I can be happy with who I am and not need to have someone else in my life. If it should happen that someone stumbles into my life I certainly would not run screaming in the opposite direction, but I'm not looking either!
