He doesn’t love me, and I love him with all my heart…

Hi. He’s left me several times. He always came back, obviously, but now it’s different. i guess our relationship just collapsed now. Let me elaborate…

In short he had trust/jealousy issues concerning my past. He knew a couple of the guys I had been with (not romantically) but he didn’t know my history prior to dating me, he found out months later and it hurt him that I never told him until he asked, since he knew them. This created awful problems, but he was still loving and he always admitted he had a problem. But eventually i guess we both started to get tired of the same thing. So the arguments were more hurtful every time. Still, we managed to do great most of the time.

Lately, we had been having a lot of ups and downs. He’d criticize me a lot. This week he dumped me twice! And he criticized me. I was desperate so all I did was cry and tell him about all my feelings and complain about how he treated me and pressured me. I told him how insecure I was, and how low my self esteem was, that I felt I wasn’t good enough for him like any other woman could be. He told me I was too much of a nag, too insecure and too paranoid, that i was too childish and he wasn’t sure it’d work. However, last night we had one of the most romantic nights ever. He told me he loved me several times…

Today, I hung out with a friend. I was supposed to hang out with my ex later. We hadn’t agreed at what time though. me and my friend hadn’t seen each other in a while, so she told me a lot of stuff and it got a little late. But, hey, it was a Saturday night so I figured he’d be available. He was upset because he said it was too late to see each other. I just let him be, and I’d talk to him later when he wasn’t angry anymore. Well later he called and told me I was always screwing up, and that if I really wanted to see him, I would have been home earlier. He hung up. I called him back to explain that I didn’t think it was too late. But he didn’t let me speak, and he just blurted “We better break up. It’s not working. Today I realized I’m not in love with you anymore…”. And I hung up. I started crying like crazy. It hurts because I love him so much. Out of anger and hurt I emailed him, telling him to go to hell and never talk to me again. He agreed. And I haven’t talked to him since. it’s been like two hours.

He always talked about marriage and kids, he even mentioned it yesterday. So I don’t get it :(

I love him so much, I still can see some good points to this !) He was always jealous, suspecting of my actons 2) He criticized me too much. But still, he also was very loving, had almost everything in common with me, he also complimented me more often than he criticized me… I really thought he was the one. yes, he was my first love and relationship. I hate to think how he’s much more relieved now and happier, and that he’ll be even happier once he finds someone else to love :( I wanted to be the one to make him happy forever, like he promised he’d be to me :(

I’ve always had weak self esteem, ever since I was a teenager, even before meeting him. It was strenghtened the first months into the relationship, but now it’s sunk.

How can I mend my broken heart and boost my self esteem?

How?

By realizing that you do NOT have to have this guy.

Your “first” is seldom your “last,” and almost never your “best.” It will always be special to you, but the first love is seldom the one you stick with.

But I will tell you this: if you hope to end up in a committed relationship, “hanging out with your ex” is a deal breaker. What were you thinking?

No, no, no, by hanging out with my ex I meant my ex boyfriend, the one who just dumped me. I have no other exes as I never had a boyfriend before.

time. only time will help. friends and family help too. its like a hangover. a really bad one. i know how much it hurts. The same thing is happening to me. actually, has happened. its been a year and 7 months sense we’ve been together. iv been in new relationships, none seems to be as good.. until 2 months ago.. i realized i wasn’t letting myself move on. i am convinced that i have been obsessed with my first lover. But now i started to date this guy that iv known for a while now.. actually a friend of my ex. its only been 2 months and he has helped me believe i can love again. Am i in love with him? No. but that takes time and can not be forced. as for my first love, i do still know im in love with him. i think about him often. but sense the end, iv realized how scared i was everyday of losing him again and again.. is that how i want my relationship to be? and soon marriage to be? no. its not fair to myself. and its not fair to you - what you ex was doing. you will always love him.. but why love someone who caused you grief to begin with? its unreasonable. you cant make him love you. but you also cant make yourself stop loving him. give it time. you may think time doesn’t heal all wounds, so did i.. but it really does.
good luck.
