Just got dumped, for one of the first times in my life.

Just got dumped, for one of the first times in my life.

I was completely in love with the girl, and she had completely fallen out-of-love with me.

This was the first time I’ve ever fallen in love, so it has been really painful watching her feelings for me deteriorate over the past two months. I loved her, wanted a future with her, and think that if I had played the ‘game’ better, then things would have turned out better.

But that’s just it. I wasn’t playing a game. I was being 100% honest with her. Being too open about my concerns and feelings was what did the most harm.

Despite my immense pain (I’ve never cried so much in my life), I am also glad that the agony from being in a non-mutual relationship has ended, and I am glad to know that I am capable of falling in love; I honestly didn’t think I was capable of it. All in all, I learned a lot from this relationship.

I just hope I’m not about to enter into another long, lonely period of being single. I don’t think I can take it.

I know how much it hurts I almost lost my first relationship and am struggling to salvage it. Something useful? Listen to empowering music, something happy, something that sings about not needing anyone to walk or breath. It’s good that you know you can learn and move on. Remember there will always be someone because you have yourself and you need to love yourself.

A catchy, poppy, uplifting song..

I know how you feel man I’ve been there and done that! I was in a 5 and 1/2 year relationship with my exgirlfriend and we just didnt work out. I’ve been single for a while. It sucks but its something I need to do. As much as I love being in a relationship… I need to learn being independent. Things will only get better

Would a fling be a bad idea? I want to feel desireable, and to show her that I’m not going to let this stop me from continuing my life.

Really, I wish that my… ex… will come crawling back to me in a couple weeks, because she misses me and knows she made a terrible mistake. But that’s not gonna happen.

Man, not a concern. It didn’t work out. Most relationships don’t, that is in fact their goal. Have hope, the great thing about relationships is that you only need one to be successful, the rest are just practice!

My first and only relationship of 10 years ended 8 months ago. I am struggling and feel more alone than i ever have in my life.

If it isn’t to be for you two, better that she ended it now than string you along for years.

We are going to meet Tuesday so she can pick up her stuff. This will be the first time I’ve seen her since we officially broke up (over the phone).

I feel sick to my stomach. I love her… I just want things to go back to the way they were before. She made me happier than I’ve been in 10 years, and I screwed it up. I’m so lonely now. My life is empty and meaningless.

You have read mine so you know what I’m going throw but maybe she wasn’t the one for you. Don’t let the fact that you are hurt cloud your eyes. Because there could be someone right in front of that is “the one” I do believe in soul mates. And being together till your old. Sometimes things happen just so we can see better. You know know that you can love and that you want to. You never said how long you were together. It is good to be honest. (I may be a little to honest sometime but at lease when I say something people believe me)But sometimes people can’t handle the thought of being married and settled down. You should wait til you know you have the right girl and she to feels the same way. Trust me women show those things. Some are a little harder to read then others. But keep you head up. You will never meet the right person if you are looking at the ground. (unless you are in a movie and run into and when you eyes meet you know that, they are the one for you)Good luck

I know it’s hard but you’ve got to try and take your mind off her.

You already seem to have a very mature attitude to the breakup and should concentrateon the positives. This is a learning experience for you and you will become a better and a stronger person for it.

Dont go looking for a replacement, just concentrate on the other aspects of your life. Call you parents, call an old friend. Dont talk about the breakup, ask about them. Be outgoing and smile. You may not feel like smiling but it helps.

Best of luck

Don’t have a fling… it doesn’t make you feel better… it’s not fair on the other person you have it with unless you tell them upfront i am having a fling with you because i am heart broken and want to try and feel better… if you did i don’t think you’d get many takers.

It gets easier… honest… with time.

If i can give you some advice… Don’t be there when she comes for her stuff… leave the key under the mat and let her let herself in get her stuff and go without you being there. You do not want to have to deal with the pain of seeing her this soon afterwards the break up…. Don’t put yourself through it!
