Have you ever had your heart broken?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Once. Big time. I had girlfriends from the time I was 16. But when I was 37 I wound up virtually living with a wonderful 31 year old. I loved her with my heart and soul and she loved me. We separated for reasons that are complicated. It didn't have anything to do with cheating or anything mean. But I was devastated over the loss. It felt like my guts had been kicked out to the point of sometimes feeling nauseous. It took me close to a year to get on with life.

About 20 years later, she found me on Facebook. We even talked on the phone a few times and her voice filled me with memories. I was married but she was not. She was living out of state with her mom and her son that she had had when she was 16. It filled me with joy to be in contact with her and to know that she was happy and pursuing her dreams.

About 5 years later, I read that she had passed away from a sudden medical problem at age 56. My heart was shattered. A bright light was snuffed out when she left this world. There is a hole in my heart that will never heal. I will never stop loving her and will never forget her. I'll be forever grateful to special lady and for the good fortune of having her in my life.

Well, I had a crush on this girl in middle school and I put a note in her locker next to mine because our last names were side by side alphabetically. So, she got the note and I think she told me that she didn’t like me straight up one day. Now, it was all laughing & playful, like a lot of stuff in middle school is, so at the time I didn’t feel heartbroken. Even now, I don’t think it is considered a heartbreak that I feel like you’re trying to get at, such as an actual adult/serious love interest or relationship that turned sour.

My love life is a walking heartbreak! Where you want me to start at? I got all day and enough sob stories to write a novel...

I'm pretty sure everyone's had their hearts broken at some time in his or her life. If you haven't... your time is coming; don't worry. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, heartbreak is just a normal part of life.

Alyssa11 · Accepted Answer

Sure, yeah.

It's happened to me before where I felt sad for a few weeks but I still got on with my life etc. It was just a hard thing to feel.

But then it happened to me where I genuinely felt *broken*. It was a whole new level of pain. I'm guessing that was heartbreak in the true sense.

TruthBringer · Answer

Yes I have, but it never stopped from me opening up to someone else. I believe it's just part of life. It allowed me to grow as a stronger and wiser person, despite the pain. It has also allowed me to appreciate the people who are genuine and want to perserve my heart more than the person who caused it to break. And it taught me to be better prepared for when it strikes again.

lilyanony1 · Answer

My heart is currently broken. For more than one reason.  But losing my father has been the biggest heartbreak.

lonelyguyintheworld · Answer

Yes one of the worst feelings in the world.25:years of my life I loved this woman gave up my dream so she could be closer to her family and in the end she says I don't love you and I don't think I ever did. looking back through all are pictures we were always happy so that's what breaks my heart the most is her putting on a fake smile for 25 years and not communicating with me about it.

TrueConfection · Answer

Only a thousand times. The worst was by one of my kids. It was a silly and normal teenager reaction to not getting their way, but I was still completely heart broken.

MotorcycleMan · Answer

Many times.
It sucks and can be pretty all-consuming at the time, but you get over it and move on. It just takes a bit of time.
Consider yourself luck to have been in a relationship with someone that you felt this strongly about. Remember all the good times you had together and keep those memories with you, but most importantly, move on. There is going to be more to your life.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

My last couple of breakups were not really heart breaks. The relationships were just not working out, mostly because of long distance, and we just had to part ways. The last time I really had a heartbreak was a long time back and the lady who I was dating reconciled with an ex while we were dating. She and I only had dated about 2 months.

I think I dodged a bullet though. She's been married and divorced twice since then!

NathanDavis · Answer

not in the "romantic sense" but life has been challenging, for sure

PositiveNote · Answer

Yes! And I think I've suffered all my life because of those few occasions.

The_Outlaw · Answer

Many times. But late last year at this time counts as the worst. It's my fault, really. I put in more effort into it than she did and at the end - I was chasing nothing more than a ghost. I don't really feel that she was ever genuinely interested anyway.

MCheetah · Answer

Plenty of times, yeah. That's why it's grown cold and impenetrable, like Antarctic ice.

15_Debo · Answer

Yeah... I had  I didn't like the guy who loved me so...

Anonymous · Answer

I fall in love too easily and completely and guys don’t appreciate it. You give everything to a guy. Do anything he wants even without him asking and at some point when he is done and his friends are done they tell you that you’re not girlfriend material and that they just want to be friends. Then they ask why more girls can’t be like you when they’re fucking your ass. where are the chill girls they say.

Well I’m right here if they would only open their eyes and look.

bulletbob555 · Answer

Yes and if you haven't you probably don't get out there as much as you should. Its the cost of doing business. Or put another way the cost of love

Once, after my first serious relationship failed. Since then I do not let myself get attached to anything or anyone enough for the loss to be able to hurt.

Anonymous · Answer

I used to. But if you learn to turn your heart off, go numb, and learn to stop feeling. Then people are incapable of breaking your heart.
