8 moTo me it was this one moment when I was at a family gathering (my exs family) and everyone in his family treated me as ususl well, but he was not, the moment he did that. I tried to make light of it for everyones sake, and I knew it was him, something wrong with him, just him overreacting. Just how he thought he was all that and I a nobody. He had so very little to give. I saw what a person he really was but he was trying to make me pay for it. There were other times as well when I cried when nobody could see, tell, alone, my heartbreak came step by step, but that was one incident that did it. We think today he must have been bipolar and in a psychosis where he got jealous that could possible explain his behavoir as a total, but I think there are those who suffer by mental illness and are good people and those who are bad and those who are a little of both, but in order to be as cruel as he was for as long as he was he would have to be, to me, medicated or not, still bad and I mean bad like bad. I fell for him because I thought he was kind, he was kind to me back then, but I think he fooled us all. I have been told I have trauma from few incidents with him, the family gathering not being one of them, far from it, but it was the last time I saw his family before our split. They were always good to me. So even that moment, that evening, he had to poison. Nothing stayed good with him.

Anonymous(25-29)7 moMy family. Well, my mum specifically. She and I went through a break-up of sorts, she was so wonderful, caring, and present in my life growing up, and I had a really close connection with her. She, however, has her demons (as we all do) and became quite protective of me. She also suffers from acute anxiety, along with the rest of my family. So, her anxiety paired with her protectiveness lead to her not trusting my friends or my boyfriend. There was one night in particular, where she blew up at my boyfriend for saying something she didn't agree with. And tbh, his comment was coming from a place of sympathy, but she saw it as an attack. She pretty much declared that she never trusted him from the beginning, and that she needs a "break" from him. My dad and I have chatted and he agrees that she would have been this way with any person I dated/spent time with. He loves my boyfriend and thinks he's wonderful (which he is). After the fight I told her that her words matter and that they really hurt my partner, and that she needs to get on board with him if she wants to be in my life. And she hasn't been able to. It broke me, and I've been grieving our relationship. I watched "Wild Robot" (which is about motherhood) the other night with my boyfriend and I just broke down, it made me so sad.

As far as friendships/relationships go it was when I realized they werenโt going to work and I would lose that person. Otherwise it has been when my grandparents have died. The hardest was when my momโs mom passed simply because she was the last to go. If my parents/siblings go before me that will be even worse. The lost friends/relationships hit me harder at the time, but my grandparents have never left me and I still think about them and wish they were here

8 moMy heart broke when I realized I was giving more love than I was receiving back.
It wasnโt one moment more like a slow understanding that I deserved someone who chose me with the same clarity I chose them.
Painful, yes. But it taught me a lot about my own worth.27 Reply
Asker8 moYea and to not invest too much time unless they show the same effort back I'm sure
- 8 mo
Exactly.
Effort should feel mutual, not forced.
If it becomes one sided thatโs usually the first sign to step back.
Asker8 moYea it tells you that they aren't on the same level as you.
- 8 mo
Right.
When the energy isnโt matched, it usually means the intentions arenโt matched either.
And thatโs all you really need to know.
Asker7 moYep it actually saves you a lot of time

Exactly.
It keeps you from investing where it wonโt grow.

914 opinions shared on Break Up & Divorce topic. I was dating a girl for a few months. I had really fallen for her almost from the start. It was just crazy. She told me that she was too busy with schoolwork to see me one weekend. So I went to a bar with some of her friends and she was there with her old boyfriend from high school. They were not just talking about the good old days.
I was blindsided by this and didn't know what to do. I figured I should just leave. She saw me get up and leave and she did not do anything. As I was driving home I had to pull over to the side of the road and puke.
In the days that followed she never called me to explain or apologize or anything. That made it even worse.

Asker8 moSo your biggest heartbreak was from a platonic connection? ๐ค
- 8 mo
no lol i thought you were asking about past relationships
idkk if its my biggest bc that whole period sucked lmao
Asker8 moI was asking in general, I thought you were talking about a platonic heartbreak, either ways fair enough, understanding more of the momoness lol
- 8 mo
ohh, in general
i won't answer that bc i've tried to for the past 20 minutes lol but its something related to my parents

Opinion Owner8 moTrue, itโs better than having to have the title of divorced.
Opinion Owner8 moThe word โdivorcedโ is just so full of baggage.

Asker8 moThat really sucks, losing a good and healthy connection because of someone's poorly made decisions, I'm sure you've had a line that was crossed, sounds like something that was spoken about several times before it happened

Yes, I shouldn't have to beg my partner to act right. ahhhhh sigh
Asker8 moWell that's definitely true, pretty crazy stuff

Asker8 moDon't you already have a family ๐ค
- 8 mo
I do but Iโm a single mom so I mean the having a husband traditional family thing
Asker8 moYea that understandable, what makes it so complicated to find someone cause if I recall properly you don't necessarily have an issue attracting people.
- 8 mo
Having a real relationship is more than looks and how good someone is in bed or how funny they areโฆ. Especially if either person has kids. I havenโt found that so ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Asker8 moWell yea but I think playing your cards right is just as important, not just the borderline of mating, in general the first steps in finding this man will be attraction with physical appearance, then y'all will bond, laughter and all but the best decisions have to be made, mostly if some people get into your life to waste your time, one should make the best decisions not to let them, no matter how tempting it is.
- 8 mo
Ok, so yeah I havenโt had my heart broken in years and donโt plan to again
Asker8 moWell I guess that's a good plan lol
- 8 mo
Itโs a great plan lol
