Are the good times worth the pain in the end?

April 21, 2009 2:35pm CST
Me and my now ex boyfriend split about a month ago. It was his decision, so of course I was very hurt about it all. Nothing compares to the feeling of heart break for me, it hurts so much. When I think about it though, I think back to the good times in the relationship, when I was so happy, and I wonder if the happiness I had was worth the ending pain that ive got now. What do you say?

of course, it is always like that.. to bear the pain is to expect better gains in the end... its like no pain, no gain...

It's always worth it. If it wasn't people wouldn't be willing to take a chance on getting involved with someone. Your broken heart will heal and you will meet someone else who will make you just as happy so don't dispair. Take some time to concentrate on you...do things that you enjoy and spend time with friends. It helps.

To me, it is totally worth it. i mean, for one, not all of it is going to end. One day you will find the one that you have lots of pain and happy times.. but forever. :] Like me and my boyfriend; we have been together for almost a year and a half now, and we go through SO much pain with eachother because we hurt eachother on accident (or sometimes a little less of accidentalness) just because we lov e eachother so much. Sounds messed up, but im sure when you think back on those good times, you can think of some pretty bad ones other than the break up. Those bad times were worth the relationship and the good times, right? Same thing. You just have to wait to find the one that doesnt end. It wont be easy because there will still be pain when you do things to eachother that suck- but you will find the one that loves you enough and that you love enough that you can forgive eachother and get through it because you would rather live together with the problems, than without eachother :]

The happiness will never compensate to the pain that a break up inflict to anyone.Even though I have been separated for 2 years now I still can't stop the pain that I feel,it's because I don't deserve the pain and there were so little happiness that I felt when we were still together.But if you think that you deserve the pain that he gave you then those happy times with him will keep you soothed for a while.
