Have you ever experienced heartbreak that legitimately felt like you had a heart attack or something of the sort?

Yeah

No

That only happened to me once. I had girlfriends from the time I was 16. But when I was 37, I fell in love with a 30 year old and we lived together for over a year. She was my ideal. I liked everything about her and loved her more than anyone ever. She loved me, too.

When we separated, I felt like my guts had been kicked out to the point of feeling breathless and sometimes nauseous. I would double over and sob. I never experienced such pain. I loved her so much and still do.

It took me almost a year to pull myself together and get back to life. I met my future wife two years later and married her two years after that.

Be honest here…

Do you think about the “ideal one” from time to time?

From your words I assume your happy and you love your wife but do you not feel she is ideal?

If you could spend a night or weekend with this woman again would you?

[Lliam]

@ThinkFitness23. I think of her all the time. She was a rare woman. The thing is, though, we weren't destined to spend the rest of our lives together.

About 20 years after I had last seen her, she found me on Facebook and we even spoke a few times on the phone. She was living out of state near her mom and son. I was overjoyed to be in touch and to know that she was happy.

Her presence had no effect on my marriage. At that point, she was just a dear friend. I wouldn't have had sex with her because I'm loyal to my wonderful wife. But I would have loved to see her.

About five years later, I read that she had died from a sudden medical problem at age 55. I was devastated. She was such a bright light in the world. I will always love her and will never forget her. My time with her had been a gift. It was a peak experience.

But the fact that I will always love her doesn't diminish the love I have my wife.

Thanks for your reply and insight.

I loved a girl dearly, I cheated and she took me back but wanted me to propose.

I was young 20 and didn’t, I’m now in relationship that started 10 years ago with another woman but I do sometimes find myself thinking “I wonder if”..

I also subconsciously compare them in ways, difficult to explain.

What does a heart attack feel like?

I have experienced heart break, which feels like a clenching in the left center of my chest. Not necessarily painful. Its just like a hollow void for a moment, which also radiates through my neck and cheeks feeling ice cold. The feeling is like energy flowing out my chest. A complete emptiness. It forces my eyes to water, and I weep over the memories of lost love.

[Blackcupcake]

no… I have not even liked the guys I dated enough to get upset over the breakups. it just felt like “oh well… that was that.”

[NathanDavis]

recently, maybe so...

but I really don't know how one feels like, an actual one that, is

but something broke for sure sure

[es20490446e]

Nah, I'm kind of tough. If it is gone it can only be for a good reason.

[Phoenix98]

Something like that.
