Why is it so hard to let someone go after they've broken your heart?

Because everyone wants to be happy, or at least have a happy ever after set up. So we give everything we have to make it work, and when it doesnt, it feels like we are a failure of sorts.

There seem to have two subjects here, I'm gonna discuss the text, not the title. I think we go after those who broke our heart, that it's hard to let them go cause we humans are hunters, we like what's difficult. I feel like an alien cause I don't like guys who gave me a hard time, and most of girls do. They just can't let go exactly that guy that was not good to them, I have girlfriends that I really can't comprehend. I can't forget the nicest ones but just as a memory, I don't wanna go after them. I think a good thing to know is that if the guy is not chasing us around, if doesn't know our value, there's the main reason why we must forget him, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DESERVE OUR ATTENTION. Let's give our attention to the right guys girls...please.

Yes i have and it does get better by ex hubby cheated on me with my sister than she had a baby by him and gave birth on our wedding anniversary i didnt even know it was his until 3 weeks before she had the baby.and i forgave him a few times and he didnt change as he just did it again,its so hard to get over them as you are used to the normality of knowing them and how you/them do things etc its hard to break any habit you have got used to.try and keep reminding yourself of the positives of moving on.

A broken heart brings a lot of emotion to your life. Even though your heart is in pain, it's not always easy to let go. Our head may tell us it is the right thing to do, but a small part of us can still hang on to hope.

im have been in love with my husband for 17 years and he pasded a way 2 years ago and i still have the same problem as you do i hope yours is still alive and every thing is fine but sit back and think what would you do if it was final final and there is nothing you could do about it and that way you have to push yourself and learn how to do with out them but they do say opposite attract

Yes, I've been in love and I had broken heart. You cannot get him out of your head, let the memories pass through. It's been a year and I haven't done it well. But I'm sure time will be the best choice to recovery. I'm trying not to think a lot about him, when the thought is coming, I change it to do something else. I'm trying not to contact him to often. Well speechteacher, keep trying.. take your time and don't push yourself too rush.

This happened to me already!!!! You want to forget the person, but you can't stop thinking about her(in this case), she broke your heart, you still want to be her friend, but you don't like her, you want to go back with her, but you know that's impossible but you still try, she got out ofmy heart but didn't from my head at the time... Now I forgot her, I found the way to forget a girl that I was addicted to, its an easy way but hard to reach it, you need to love another person to forget the one you previously loved, but when you love a person you can't really love another, its really hard, but I got in love in first sight(yea now I believe it) with another girl but nothing happened, all that happened was to forget the girl that broke my heart, thats whats important and made me happy :)

hello, I been in a relationship for how many times, But I honestly I never experience that because every time that I broke up with someone I always makes sure that I already move on and ready to lose him.LOL that is true! I am not lying at all that is just my techniques On how do I forget my ex easily. Good Luck to you,
