Have you ever been burned by love?

Question

sage2021 · Accepted Answer

Yes, in the worst way. I was married to him and had just given birth to our little precious son, who looks just like him.

It was December 2nd and we always got our Christmas tree 🎄 December 1st. I wanted to go and get the Christmas 🎄, but he had other plans with another woman.

When he abandoned us he stole my car that I bought before I ever knew him, and left us with no money.

He didn't look back either.

About 40 years later I tracked him down and his new girlfriend of 20 years had just died.

And he had prostate cancer.

Could it have been Karma?🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t have personal experiences but I understand what being burned by love really means.

It’s not just heartbreak. It’s trusting deeply, believing in something, and realizing the other person didn’t hold it with the same care.

That kind of burn doesn’t make you weak. It usually means you were open, sincere, and willing to feel fully. The pain comes from the mismatch, not from loving too much.

And honestly? The ability to feel that deeply is still a strength. It just needs to be placed where it’s valued.

Depends what you mean. Did I ever fall in love and the relationship didn't work out? Sure, but is that being burned? I've never been abused, abandoned or stolen from. No one has ever spread malicious rumors about me. That sort of thing has happened to people. I've just had relationships that didn't end up where I wanted them to go. I bear no ill will toward the people that didn't have the same feelings about me that I did about them.

Of course but, to be honest, I burnt myself for not paying attention.
With everything so I can always blame myself

If you have pursued love very long, you bear the scars of lovers past. That is what makes you wiser and you get older!

DishLady · Answer

I get burned by straight up dating. False hope, ghosted, blocked by cold feet, false-positive matches on dating apps, everytime i find someone attractive, they have 0 attraction in me or don't see me as ever a romantic option, they are in a relationship, or look like they are in their late 20s but turn out to be underage (then i get out of there, because massive NOPE!). One part of dating is luck and romantic feelings on any level can get you burned

I feel like I’m the one doing the burning now. I can’t imagine how some of those women I met in my 20s and early 30s live with themselves now. Me cheating has hurt myself in ways that are tormenting on a level maybe even worse than being burned, besides losing kids in family court when it wasn’t even me that cheated or did anything…damn the state of their soul and heart must be in constant agony.

I was burned once in a Hilarious way. We were camping and it was night and we were doing the deed a little to close to the campfire. All i heard was a loud pop and a piece of red hot wood landed right on my ass

ElenaSeluna · Answer

Love shouldn’t burn the person.. love should make you feel and experience all the nice and sweet feelings  if it’s burning that’s not love, that’s torture

OneViewpoint · Answer

If you've never been burned by love, you're either very lucky, or you haven't been looking for love very hard. Yeah, I've been burned by love.

exitseven · Answer

yes, once I dated somebody who for whatever reason I fell for her hard. She almost was like an obsession. She dumped me in a very cruel way. I did not think I would ever come back from it.

MrChinaski · Answer

Constantly. That burning feeling is being truly alive. Unfortunately, it passes. So you have to do it all over.

Haven't we all been burned? It's a rite of passage almost in our late teens or early 20's.
