myTakes: Break Up & Divorce

How many of us have a difficult time reflecting on our actions; knowing that we could have done so much better in our past relationship? Perhaps, if we looked at ourselves sooner the outcome would have been different;...

I will start with a story about my own personal experience. I met a guy, we fell in love - or at least I thought so, then he broke my heart. A simple and very shortened version of this so typical love story . I knew...

I think it's very interesting. I hadn't known that this was possible before. But I found out that when people get divorced and they have kids, the visitation and custody schedules are only for the minimum amount of the...

Almost everyone I know has been through heartbreak in some way. Whether it's a significant other, a friend, a sibling or a parent who broke your heart, it's all equally painful and the sense of loss can sometimes be...

I'm not a professional, I'm not very experienced, the only relationship I had was purely online and lasted only 8 months but my feelings were real and genuine. These things helped me move on and turn the page, so maybe...

You thought I could forgive you, you thought it was okay now, you had learned your lesson. You even said you forgave yourself! But the truth is I have never been able to forgive you, because I can't seem to forgive...

I just ended things with my boyfriend who I was dating for a year. Even though our relationship did not last very long, he was still my first love. It was, and still is, so hard because the reason for our break up was...

So I was in a relationship for about 8 months and we just broke up because he's "unhappy" and he can't accept who I am when we're not hanging out. He said it's an awful relationship online. However, it was "amazing" when...

I use the term victim loosely, because I know none of the sufferers are victims, but survivors, and that is 100% true. But as I have recently experienced, when two teenagers with the same issues fall in love, it is a...

We started off so strong A ball of flames upon a book I put your words upon my page I didn't take another look You said forever As I looked you in the eye Now forever might be never And I have to say goodbye...

Romeo and Juliet is arguably one of Shakespeare's most memorable and recognizable plays. Everyone remembers the star-crossed lovers, young Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, forever in love. People dream of having a love...

The last time I spoke to my ex was April 30th before he walked out of my apartment. He never contacted me again. No message, no phone call, not even a ‘we are done’. Just…ghost. Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out...

He was a boy. I was a girl. As Avril LaVigne would say, "can I make it anymore obvious?" Apparently, you could with me and this guy. Let's just say, we were pretty clueless that one liked the other at first. We met in the...

Basically, I am letting go of my first ex, since he decided to date my friend, and wanted to keep me as his side chick. (I did not continue to sleep with him after I found out he had a girlfriend, my friend). But first I...

Don't get me wrong, when I say I'm not over my ex it's not in the stalker crazy way. It just means what he and I had was special and I choose to hold onto it. I truly believe that holding onto the hope that this love...

Hi there. I don't know if you know who I am , or if some people have whispered my name into your ear. I often wonder if you know about me and if you know that I have been the one who has been holding him when you left him...

I am left all alone, with nothing but heartache. It hurts so bad. I feel like I am dying internally. My heart can't take it anymore. This once strong organ has grown so weak, I slump over to the side succumbing to my...

We all dream of the day our ex will come back, pleading for us to take them back. We dream of how they will accept responsibility for their actions, how they would apologize and admit they made the biggest mistake of...
