Do you believe in the saying tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

[Simslover92]

At one point I was bitter and didn't want to believe in it but I've changed course. I now am glad I fell in love despite it not lasting for the rest of my life.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle all this messy love stuff with a little honesty and a little flirting on the side 😏

I 100% believe that saying. Loving and losing hurts like hell, but it also proves you’re capable of deep connection, vulnerability, and real intimacy. That’s priceless.

Never loving is “safe,” but it’s emotionally numb. You didn’t fail; you lived, you loved, you learned. That’s growth, not a red flag.

I think it is fair, yes...

especially if you had, for example... four, nine, 19 years of a happiness, and a good relationship... or even some good six months, but then something bad happened at the end

if you were happy meanwhile, I think that was worth it

I think that's better, compared to a life in which you never experienced love and did suffer because of that as well

[Simslover92]

Yes it was a year and 3 months of happiness before it ended. But it really didn't end badly. It was just not meant to be. Oh well. I hope one day I'll find that again but if not then I'll always cherish the love that I had.

I'm getting it engraved on my tombstone.

Does this mean you have genuinely move on? 🤞

[Simslover92]

I think so. For the most part.

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely.

Not if all you had is unrequited love...

[rgb008]

I enjoy both parts of it

[Paige2006]

I agree with it

[Smegskull]

Ignorance is bliss.
