What is your bleeding love story?

Tell us a story.

Not one of my typical genres of music, but I do like this song, particularly the chorus.

I met a guy playing online when I was 19.
I had never had a boyfriend before and thought I was in love.

This made me lose interest in anybody else.

we held an online relationship so so long I felt I was really in love.
It was pure and innocent love.

I finally met him 16 years later!! when I was 34 last year.
it all seemed perfect. he said he loved me, he cooked for me I cooked for him
we kissed and tried to make love.

I had never been with anyone so I was a bit weird about it and somehow I never let him go inside me.
it felt like it would hurt

we were there naked touching each other but every time he was about to go in, I would kind of close my legs and say no
I thought he would try harder to go inside me because I really wanted it but for some reason I just wouldn't let him but I told him he should just do it and he said he didn't want it to seem like he's raping me because I'm saying no and pushing him off.
I really cannot understand why I did that repeatedly.

so we had a lot of intimate moments in that meeting that lasted 2 weeks living together far away.
but he never went inside me.

we both left home early 2020 right before pandemic started and everything seemed fine
we would talk every day more than before and he would say he loves me which he had always said he didn't just want to say these words before.

then suddenly one day in march he went to a party in his country and the day after that he just went off on me saying I never let him do anything because he wanted to drink and smoke and I said I prefer he didn't and proceeded to call me boring and a loser.

he told me to find someone else and forget about him.

after knowing him for more than 10 years I felt betrayed and played with.
if he had lost feeling at least you would think he would have some sort of care for me even as a friend or something because we've known each other for so long you would think someone would care about you even if they didn't like you as a significant other for whatever reason.

but he just continued to treat me very bad and I wanted to block him and leave but he was the only experience I've ever had in regards to love and romance. I never knew anything/anyone else.

I wanted closure and some sort of rational explanation as to why this sudden harsh treatment.
but there was nothing, he simply said he changed.

I wanted a reason even if it was someone else, perhaps he had met someone at this party or just lost interest in me but why? or if he didn't really like me in real life when we met, why fake all the feelings?

knowing each other for so long, we could have stayed friends and ended things in a less hurtful way but he did everything to hurt me.

I am now going to turn 35 and I am so sad I've never had another relationship at all. I don't think anybody would want me anymore because most people my age already have a family and married.
I have nothing.

I thought I had him and I am so shy and quiet Its hard for me to just meet anyone else if there was anybody else.
I'm also sad and depressed because of this and nobody wants to deal with that either.
I feel I ruined my life for someone that was not worth it.

sometimes things don't work out and one can understand due to certain circumstances and accept reality.. but when someone just pretends to love you for so long and then suddenly treats you like a piece of trash, it is so hard to overcome this and not feel so saddened inside.

I do't know what to do.. I don't even have friends because I invested all my time in just talking to this person online that I didn't realize I didn't have anybody else at all. I didn't care because for me, that was enough.. and now that I see I have nobody it hurts. it matters now.

I will never understand why or how someone can treat another person that cares about you and loves you in such a manner without caring how you will make them feel..

I would at least want to know the real reason why this happened not knowing why is awful

oh daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
You sweet thing. /hugs

You're a beautiful and innocent person. Don't get desperate. Just mingle a bit more. Maybe talk to colleagues more.
Usually nice persons, once they just open up, people will be attracted to you.

He exists in this world but in a space that I'm not meant to occupy.

[Jjpayne]

I'd say for me, it's more about all the love possiblities that passed me by and the time and aging that have left me in it's process... It's regreting lost opportunities and feeling left behind by all those that chose to ignore my presence 😞

The Sad Love Story that is My Life

[AmandaYVR]

Aww that's very sad. But I'm glad you did find love. You sure were patient.
I'm sure if she was watching over you, she would want you to do whatever it takes to be happy going forward.

[clampfan101]

I can’t see an option to update it, but I was able to see her grave quite some time ago. I’ve been really to move on since, but simply haven’t found anyone yet. Not even a crush.

[AmandaYVR]

Good. Baby steps. As long as the way is not shut. The door's ajar.

I met a girl at a New Years party hosted by a friend from college. I was 22 at the time. She was a friend of the host's sister and we were the first people to show up. We hung out the whole night. We just hung out and talked and had an awesome kiss at midnight. The party was across the street from the beach so we went for a nice walk on the beach afterwards then we sat in my car and listened to music until the sun came up. We went out the next night and she told me she was still in high school. She was 17 and I thought when she said she was a senior I thought she meant senior in college. I decided I liked her so much I wanted to go out with her anyway.
We dated for about 4 months. I don't know what it was but I was madly in love with her. I don't know if she had magic pheromones 'but she made me feel like there was some intoxicant built into her body.
One week she said she was busy with schoolwork. I told her I was going to hang out with my friend from college and we would be at a bar in town.
This girl showed up with her old boyfriend from high school and they were holding hands and looking all friendly. She knew I was going to be there and this was her way of letting me know she was dumping me.
I got up and left I expected her to call me to explain or apologize but that never happened.

I have bad luck with romance... or just keep meeting the wrong men.


1st boyfriend - broke trust because he continue to give white lies and low key flirt with other girls while we were living 2 hrs apart...
2nd boyfriend - trusted him and thought he was picture perfect, but he cheated on me...
3rd boyfriend - seemed like so good yet so bad to me at the same time.. he emotionally & verbally abused me..
4th boyfriend - wasn’t really emotionally available at times, didn’t prioritized me, & emotionally cheated on me...


For a while it makes me wonder what’s the use trying to be the best girlfriend, being giving, or pretty when I keep getting disappointed, scar, and being unloved... thought they were all good men but turned out to be horrible bfs at the end.

[Hannah_le]

Hmh I don’t think mine is too sad to anyone but lmao mentally abused wasn’t allowed to look at guys , smile or talk to guys and then after he broke up with me he’d start bragging about his girlfriend in front of me with his friends. Started bullying me a lot and I stopped talking for a year like seriously I didn’t answer questions when teachers ask me anything nothing. Then the year after that we got into a physical fight cuz he tried to pick a fight with me for no reason. He made fun of how I looked and my voice then lied saying no one liked me n all. So yah

[LEADFOOTboi]

my love is the best woman i could never ask for as far as i know... i only have eyes for her... she's always on my mind... i dont wanna wait to start our lives together, but i will for our best intrests...

[19magic]

I'm still not convinced that true real love is out there all I see is convinience couples who like each other and may have loved each other at one point but don't mind each others company

[AmandaYVR]

Yeah, some people do stay together out of convenience. Or necessity. Or lack of other options even though they're not entirely satisfied.
But what you describe could also just be the difference between the heady honeymoon phase which is full of endorphins and serotonin which is exciting and fun... and which later subsides, and it's more about oxytocin which is bonding and more stable but also more sedate.
I believe in love. I just also believe that people and relationships are annoying and hard.
How about this? At its essence, love is a principle. It's not a feeling. Love is an intellectual decision we make to fulfill another person's legitimate needs. You commit yourself to the other person. You don't rely on remaining in a heady state of 'love' bliss, and then walk away in disappointment when you both don't feel exactly the same as in the beginning when everything was new and in a process of discovery. That cannot be recreated. That love turns into something else. It's different, but shouldn't be seen as inferior just because it's not the beginning, before you really knew each other fully. If that's the goal, and you jump from person to person trying to recreate that, then is that really true love?

[Calgarydirty69]

I was rapped by my ex-girlfriend it's still going on in 2003 I became brain injured I told my current girl;, at the time, she broke-up with me my loss

[AmandaYVR]

Did you mean to write 'raped'?
How did you get a head injury?

[MrCreep]

I don't understand poem or story or just a random buntch of words that has nothing to do with the question what do you want

[AmandaYVR]

The thing that inspired this question was listening to Leona Lewis' song Bleeding Love, which is about the heartache of love, love that doesn't work out but you want it anyway.
The poem is a lyric that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana wrote, basically about the same thing.
The quote is more hopeful and happy, when things do work out.
It's just a question for people who might want to tell a story about a heartbreak they had, or someone they're pining for, or something they want but they don't know if it's going to work out with that person.

[MrCreep]

Do not a song a story?

[AmandaYVR]

You mean "so" not a song, a story?
Yeah, not a song. Just something about your experience in love.

[MrCreep]

Not too good at all only have once I don't know if it happens twice but I don't know If I want too n loose that again

[Hazelstar99]

I was patient where I shouldn't have.

[Hazelstar99]
