Is it real that an almost something hurts more than a relationship brake-up?

[JonathanM10]

Many people say that having an almost relationship with someone and for some reason never got real hurts way more than having a relationship and brake up with the person.

I've had experience with both, however in my own experience the almost ones have stayed with me the most. It's something where I'm kept wondering what could have been and about all the experiences that never happened. The break ups hurt deeper but they aren't on the brain for as long because I know that they are done and should not happen again. One stays on the mind and is a longer surface pain and the other one cuts deep but heals faster. Maybe I will experience differently later in life but for now this is what has happened.

Wow actually that’s pretty informative, great answer, thanks for sharing ☺️

[tokyolights]

No problem, the could have been thing happened recently so ur question really caught my attention 😊

[JonathanM10]

Sorry for that, but still it is great that you shared it, hope talking of it makes you feel a little better.

Definitely the ones who have almost been relationships.
For me it feels like ending up at second place.

Like you are good but just not good enough for a relationship. F******* me up a lot.

Made me question my worth and confidence a lot.

I feel you man, don’t worry is their loss.

Yes, what ifs are so much harder to let go.

They both hurt, women break your heart.
