Nope. Some people don't think others are human beings. They just do whatever their heart desires and are selfish, and if that includes hurting people, they don't care, so I really don't get why you would? You're too pathetically kind lol.
Woah... really? ? ! How'd you manage THAT? ? ! Lol. You're not dissappointed that she/he isn't going to be your Mr./Mrs. Right or your wife or the mother/father of your children? You're not going to feel bad that they are going to do all those things with another person? Having grandkids with another person? Having sex with another person? ! You don't mind being rejected by them whatsoever? ? ! Then why did you even DATE them if you didn't see that type of possibility with them? !
I could see if maybe you weren't really that attracted to them, you'll most likely get over them faster, but if you built a lot of dreams and goals together and now they dumped you and now they are going with someone else, you will not feel betrayed or angry? Nor sad? ? ! How very strange indeed.
You or someone else it doesn't matter. How did you get over the ill or bitter, or any other negative feelings associated with being dumped/left/used/overlooked or rejected by this person (or persons)!
To the update: Not all relationships end because one broke the other's trust. He was my first love who I dated for two years but after realising we fundamentally weren't going to work out in an adult relationship, we broke up. I still loved him, he still loved me, but we decided to stop before it hurt us.
It's not pathetic to care about an ex. You don't know the circumstances of any of these break-ups
Well okay but still. If your ex doesn't care about you anymore, then why should you care about them? Some people can make it work and become "friends" with their ex, but not everyone can do that because what if the other person wants more from the person and so that's when it becomes difficult and awkward. Not every relationship breaks up in good terms is all I am saying. Lucky if you do.
It wasn't good terms, it was really painful. We both cried on a phone call and then blocked each other. Thing is, I know he cares about me and I care about him too. But we care about the memories we shared and the time we had. I want him to be happy, I want him to find someone he can be with forever. That person won't be me and I'm okay with that.
Just because something ended badly doesn't mean the experience wasn't positive. I may not want to date him again but I certainly don't want to see him hurt
That is interesting, but not only pathetic and stupid no offense. You were okay with him HURTING you? I couldn't update the question further but I was about to add stupidity to the list, along with being pathetic. He's the reason why you are now single again and back on the treacherous dating market. He's the reason why you got emotionally hurt as well. And after all that, you still wish him the best? It makes no sense, especially if they don't care that they stomped on your dreams of being with them as your husband or growing old with them or whatever.. You will now have to look towards someone else in the HOPES that they'll have a baby/family with you, but not ever him again. You (and others) are basically telling me that it's okay for others to hurt you and get away with hurting you/rejecting you/deeming you not good enough to be married to and to have a family with.
You're right, random person online. I'm so very delusional for not wanting my first love to be terminally ill 😊 clearly this is a problem with me and not you!
I'm not talking about anyone who was truly good to you and did not hurt you intentionally. But in the first place, why did he/they become an ex if things were good? That's all I was saying and yeah, I STILL think people who aren't cared for by either their ex, SHOULDN'T also care about them. It's just not fair to that person. They'd be wasting precious energy and emotions for the wrong people. They're not doing the same for them and wouldn't.

Of course. I don't wish ill on anyone. Besides, you were with them, right? If they are so contemptible, why did you ever date them?
That's before I knew how EVIL, SELFISH, VINDICTIVE and CONNIVING they were. You don't ever know that at first dummy lol.
Care? Sure... Not enough to do anything about it though. If you're my ex, it's for a reason. Good riddance.
Yeah, my ex broke up with me and then passed away the next day.
Woah.. that sounds intense.
They are all human beings so yes I would care
Nope. Some people don't think others are human beings. They just do whatever their heart desires and are selfish, and if that includes hurting people, they don't care, so I really don't get why you would? You're too pathetically kind lol.
they are my friends...

was all this about me?
or a personal experience of someone else?
You or someone else it doesn't matter. How did you get over the ill or bitter, or any other negative feelings associated with being dumped/left/used/overlooked or rejected by this person (or persons)!
I was not dumped nor rejected... nor ended up with hurt, damaging, negative feelings
like I said, we're friends... and it was high-school days, lol... long long time ago
Yes? He was a huge part of my life for so long
