I thought I would be happy breaking up with him. Well it’s been almost 2 months since it ended. It’s been years we have argued so much and I thought of leaving. Communication is very less and I grew tired of it. When finally I was able to end it up this year… now I am feeling so even more sad and broken. So many tears have been shed already.
I got myself busy going out with friends. But when I am here and got nothing to do and then Internet’s gone for 5 days. Memories of him came flashing again! I hate it when this feeling comes. Time is the best healer as they say, but how long will I have to carry such heavy feeling in my heart? Well I know no one can really answer. Sorry for the drama, just wanna let it out.

Hi godmom
So this is what has been happening at your end and I was unaware. Okay, no worries. Now that it isnt a secret anymore, I can put a pile of reasons for you to enjoy this and celebrate it... but I wont as this is not the right time...
Time is the best healer... yes, it is and you have to be strong to get to that time. You are already keeping yourself busy and that is one great thing right now. The other thing that you can do is get drunk... and shout, yell... and yes louder (as loud as you can or even more, it sounds silly but yes it helps.) Take out whatever pain you have within you and I am sure, I am around, and many of your well wishers here are by your side who will surely listen and understand (some will also come up with better solutions than me)
Respond here at this box only after you have taken at least 5 shots... 5 not more or less.... (just because 5 is my lucky number).

What misunderstanding dear? I see nothing here except mine response and your comment I was worried about you - the situation you shared was grim and the only thing I found which could help was a little overdose of my silly sense of humor. Anyways, as things stand, I am happy to read that you are not crying. crying is bad for eyes and also the muscles in your eyes and nearby.... and also it doesnt help often. So no use.
As I have been following your discussions, I knew that you would be all alone in this and I am sorry I could not be near you during all this. I wish there is no next time for such a bad thing to happen and in case you need anyone to cut down on your loneliness, you know I am just a PM away. I think we are a little closer and we can share things between us.
Take care dear...

Hi godson
So sorry didn't know there was a little misunderstanding here. I can only read the main responses on my mailbox - wasn't able to come here and reply as I got so much emotions and can't even think of what to reply without shedding tears. I am okay today I guess.... that is why I had the courage to come and try to reply on each boxes.
Yes I got drunk the past weeks. Thanks to my friends who were having problems too. I let them talk about their problems; and never tried to talk about mine... as I know I will be in tears if I start a conversation about my heartaches. So I guess the past days, it got me... without no one to talk to but just let it out here. And the first comment I read... I started crying already. So there was no strength for me to come here. Sorry. I am not drunk now and I am glad I am not crying as I was typing this.

First off, let me say that I know this situation is very painful for you, and I thank you for trusting your mylot friends including me as someone who might be able to help you work through your pain and arrive at making some sense of all of these. You get plagued by the guilt feelings and the why now, if only, etc.. but it is better to be honest with yourself and make the clean break up, whether you or he has the one initiated, or both, than to stay around because you feel obliged to. It will only lead to more resentment in the long run. And yep Mylene, Big Girls don't Cry....So you better stop crying and cope for it. Accept it. Quarrel that feelings and don't allow to escape from your hands. Be sure to defeat it. If all of these were succeeded brilliantly in taming, then, you will start to move and shine again.

HI sabado,
Such a coincidence, Fergie's singing that song now. I tried not to cry, accepted that we are not meant for each other.... defeated it. And I thought I've moved on. I was and still am in denial. I haven't talked about it with my parents. They don't know what's happening, I got no strength to tell them as I know I might cry. And after crying to my bestfriend a month ago. I told her and always tell her that I have moved on. But I was wrong. I think it will really take time. (almost) 6 years is never easy to forget. I think I/we made a good decision, it was just hard to accept that after such long years fighting for our love, we will still end up this way.

Hi enelyn, you have been with this man for years, so even though it was't working out, now that you are no longer with him, it may take more than a couple months to get over it. You are going through a grieving process, because he was a part of your life, good or bad, for so long. The best thing to do is if you can keep busy,spend time with friends, or make new friends, (Not guys, you don't want to start a relationship while you are still hurting from the last one). another good idea would be to find a new hobby, or take a class or two, learn something new.. Anything new, that won't remind you of him, will help you through this time..In the meantime, here are some hugs from me...

Dear Pergammano
Change? Me? Nah, I will be the same theSids. I do firmly believe mylot is my extended family and as in a family misunderstandings do happen, so do they happen here. And when I can explain to those who matter to me, I dont think it is bad. I am waiting for dear carmelanirel to return and hope my point is understood the way it was supposed to be. I still stick to what I mentioned for dear godmom(en).

dear carmelanirel
I appreciate your response on my box above. Thanks. But I think I need to share why I posted the above response (as you are one of those seniors I admire) - I started off with Godmom on my response. That should have reflected the relation we (me and en) share here at MyLot. I am not someone who would post such a response to strangers, and I do believe that a little humor on such occasions might ease off the grief. I know many will pop up saying Sorry for loss and what not and personally I do not believe any of those will help either - as many just post such a response as this is etiquette and norm, I dare to stray with close friends.
I hope, you overlooked the Godmom and now I stand a little justified.
Thanks again as I realize now that I should be careful, as people dont seem to realize or look beyond things. I assure you I will be careful of what I type.

Sorry to hear you are sad. I had no idea you had just broken up with someone, but you must have done it for the right reason. If you have been with him for a long time, then it's like a bereavement and only time can heal it. Eventually you will move on and find happiness I am sure.

Hi Orson,
I was thinking I really have done it for all the right reason. Just like what I wanted to. For some years coz I am not seeing our future together being happy. But is still hurt as we have planned a lot, things didn;t go our way. Sometimes I asked why things have to be rough on us. Well I don't know... all I can feel sometimes is that, he's not making any effort that much these days. And I think it is just right to end this up. Just feel so bad coz I don't know it will be this painful for me.

No need to apologize. That's what we are here for, to help our friends here when they need to talk! First here is a hug which you probably need right now.
Second, it is always so hard when you have nothing to do but think. When I am sad or stressed I absolutely HATE sitting around doing nothing because you do think about things more. =( I'm sorry your sad. I hope it will get better soon.
Unfortunately, it usually takes a LONG time for our hearts to heal. Which is the one thing no one tells you when they say time is the best healer... I really hope you fill your mind and time with other things and I hope your heart heals soon!

I know what you feel friend, just keep your self more busy and time will come and you will never know, that you already got over him. That's love, when you fall in love, you have to be ready to be hurt, just be strong, all the things that is happening to us is given by God. And I believe that God eliminates person in your life for your own good. So just be strong, I know you can get over him soon. You always have a friend in here. ;)

Don't worry about that everybody us here has a drama in life.
In your situation time only can tell when to heal your wounds. But while healing that wounds try also to compose your self. Think of the positive side of the break up. You said that your been arguing so much and it became worst. Do you think if you did not break with him before you can stand arguing all over again until now? It is only in your mind, we all know love is very hard to forget but if you let your self be affected to much it is not love. Love your self before anyone else.Time will come you find your great love and by that time you will not cry.

Hello lynboobsy,
I guess so I have lost the love for him maybe... since we started to have those arguments and misunderstandings. I do hope that I have made the right decision and that i won't regret it. I've loved him so much and waited for him. Given up few things and fought for him. I was so sad that in the end everything we have fought for each other will just get wasted.

You let it out, that is the best thing to do. Breaking up is never easy and it often lasts longer then one wants to admit it. You will be fine, and you know you will be, it's completely natural to think of him from time to time, just in those times you've not got your normal distraction, distract yourself with something else. Come here and listen to music at the same time, REFUSE to think of it.

Hi SCg,
Oh dear when I listen to music, sometimes I start to cry because it's as if the song was written for me. I refuse to watch soaps because there were words used that can really hit my heart and made me teary eyed.
I am still in denial I guess. haven't told it to my parents, I think i still have no courage to tell it to them. Maybe one day when I am no longer in pain, I will be able to tell it to them without any tears.

Hi enelym: Don't worry. It's just ok. You have these feelings that are affecting you. But you have to think, is it worth it? Is the re a possibility to go back? Is it good for you as an adult person? Why do you want to do this? Does he deserves a second chance?
If you feel that it's better for you to be single then you just have to give yourself your time. Understand the reasons of your pain. Is it rational? That's the way you can overcome these bad feelings.

Hi Alvaro,
I was contemplating for the past years... those times I am thinking that I am wasting my time waiting for him. But I have armed myself with a lot of patience to wait and understand him. But I guess I have crossed the limit of my patience. I have decided to give up. Time is really running so hard for me while I don't know whether for him it's just normal or what. I have a feeling that if I wait for him another year it would be just wasted moments for me again. I feel like I have to free myself, so I think it is worth it. But it was the almost 6 years of us that I was hurting and crying - I never thought of anyone else to love aside from him. But I guess it's just time, even if it hurts so much and breaking up brings me pain. I have to accept. He hasn't made any effort to call me to try to fix it. So I guess it's a sign that I really should move on and breaking up with him is a good decision, I hope so.
Hopefully I can just move on... and forget him. It's difficult to forget him but I have no choice.

no need to apologize dear. the decision taken b you is really correct. if you don't get that happiness in love,there is no point in holding that love for a long time.i know that it is really a hard decision and many of my friends keep on crying after their breakups.
one day everything will change and you will find a better life partner who really cares for you. you will get a better life partner who share everything with you and who cares for you always. dont try to think about that guy who really hurt you for a long period
try to keep your mind filled and go for some meditation classes. believe in god and go regular outing with your friends. try to avoid the situations and things which remind you about that guy. all the best for your future life.

Hi sanofer,
You are right, there is no point in holding on for this love if there is no happiness anymore. Instead fighting, pain, crying, hurting each other.... I guess it is really time to just let go and accept that things change.
Thanks, and I do hope that I will really meet someone whom I love and will love me and takes care of me. Whether we are together or far from each other.

Hi. I too had a very heavy heart when a relationship of mine ended and I just had to work my way through it...it took me a year before I truly felt 'human' again. Normally it takes me about a month or two but this one really had potential and I was just so shattered by the experience, it really took time for me to pull myself together. Eventually I did and now things are much better. :-)
Give yourself time to recover and if you do find someone who really treats you well I honestly hope for the best. If not, get yourself out of it as no one deserves to go through all the emotional turmoil again.
Be well, safe, and happy! We all deserve it!

Hi Cricket27,
I do hope it won't take me a year to feel human again. Actually I feel so lost, angry and confuse at the moment.. but I do hope this feeling will soon go. I need to accept that these things happen for a reason. I guess that way I can slowly forget him and move on with my life without feeling so depressed.
Hope I can do it just like how you do it. We've been in the relationship for almost 6 years. We've been seeing everyday for 3 years and then 3 years apart (both work in another country) Things slowly change... I think I am really hating long distance relationship. But I guess it all happens to prove whether we both can still be strong and love each other. I guess it didn't work for the both of us.
Hopefully I can really recover from it and that someone will eventually come to love and care for me, someone whom I will feel the same too. Thanks for the reply cricket. I am happy that you things went well with you now.

Hi nanknibbs,
Oh that was what I was putting on my mind now. Whenever his image enters my mind, I would contemplate so hard. Feel so sad, teary eyed and then think about whether I made a right decision or not. It seems like there was a war on my mind. One trying to tell me I made the right decision - that I could have done it before. One is trying to tell me I shouldn't have done that. Hopefully things will be in order again. I have to get up and move on. Hopefully things will be better again. Thanks for your response.

I myself have been in this situation. As you have stated, yes time does heal. The true question that you have to ask yourself is, do you feel as though you deserve better? Were you happy in that situation? The pain will eventually pass. It may take a while, but when you build yourself up and improve things in your personal life, you will eventually reassure yourself that you do deserve better and the pain and sadness will eventually go away. Self growth is the cure for every broken heart.

We have planned so much before and I have no idea that it will just end like this... I thought I can have more patience, but then nope I have given up. I don't see any reason for me to hold on too. I just hope that I will really be able to move on.

I think many of us have been through painful break-ups, and the adage "time will heal" is true, but it doesn't exactly say how much time it will take! Back in my youth my girlfriend wanted to be together to much that we moved away because so many people were against it. It was like a dream for about 3 months and then one night we were invited to a party and she changed. She started flirting with this other guy for no reason at all. We have not had words or argued at all and I couldn't understand it. When we got back from the party she was a different person. I stayed with this for about a week feeling very confused as I had given up everything back in my home town. In the end I couldn't stand it any more and went home. I continued to hurt badly and one night phoned her up to say I was going back and perhaps we could start again. She told me that the guy she had been flirting with at the party had moved in with her. That was it. Over. I was miserable for a few months, and then one day I couldn't even remember her face. I was still a little upset, but it was a sign that my mind was letting go of her and slowly my feelings for her began to disappear too. I was then on my own for about two years and not really looking for anyone, when I met the girl who later became my wire. I hope the responses you are getting will help things to be easier for you. I know it is one of the worst feelings of loss that I went through back in my early 20s. We can move on. I proved that to myself.. _Derek

Hi derek,
Oh I am so sorry for what had happened to you and your past girl. I really wish that I can move on like how you did. I think it is easier to move on if I learn that he loves someone else now. But I have no clue. We don't have time for each other anymore, our plans have been delayed, it's as if he's not doing things when I have given up something for him and waited for him for a long time. I guess I have to give up everything because I don't really feel he is doing his part. Plus, the fact that he won't call for weeks or for months... I don't think it is a healthy relationship now.
I am glad that even if you have been into such difficult experience you have finally move on. I wish I can do that as quickly as I can.

I have tried to break up with him several times for years. He never wanted to. I have given too many chances and still I was left feeling disappointed and felt it will never work out anymore. I can feel he is losing time, we never have much communication anymore unlike we used to. But now I feel lost and felt so much in pain. Never know that loving someone can really make me feel this way.
It sounded like you really have gone through a lot of pain. I hope I won't need to go through therapies, hopefully someone someday will come and make me feel loved again, someone whom I would feel the same way too. And if that happens, hope that I will get over him.

I don't know what to tell you as I am not an expert when it comes to this.
I also had my heart broken once-and that was real hurt.
Indeed it's "time is a great healer" and time will tell.
I was able to moved one- and now I can smile when people ask about him.
There is no more pain left, no hatred but emptiness.
As if he's never been a part of my life- although I have my kids as living proof.
Acceptance is the best remedy to cure a broken heart.
Accept that he will never return and gone forever- then you can moved on.
You will soon find yourself free, happy and contented.
You will realized that life without him is much better and freedom is the best gift he had given you.
Uhmn...I guess I've said too much

Hello ene: The comment I'm writing is probably the #10, I haven't seen your response on the previous comments, which you normally do quite promptly, which means you are perhaps still in low spirits. This is a matter to be concerned about you! Especially since I haven't logged in in the last week to ten days and haven't interacted.
On the specific issue, well I won't tell the cliched 'I'm so sorry for you' though it doesn't mean I don't feel for what happened and how has it left you.
Yes, it is true that it is difficult to get over and take your thoughts & mind completely away from it; it is also true that time is the best healer; but if you don't try to force yourself into other pursuits, it takes a lot longer.
It is a matter of mind & sentiments and if you have been intimate with someone, it is difficult to erase all the impressions that mind tries to recollect like wiping a duster.
Life is like that; it is a journey with intermediate stops & stations; one undergoes different experiences along the way. Some good and long lasting; while some good while they last but turning negative at times. We must move on. To the next one. At times, we find an opportunity to revisit some place that didn't offer good first experience. We will have to take things in stride.
You are capable of dealing with all and you will take control of your emotions. Wish you well.

Hi Pushhyarag,
You're the lucky 13 responder Yeah I was in low spirits those times and have got no courage to come back and reply. I was reading the first few responses on my mailbox - and from there I already feel so down. Not that I don't like what I was reading. But it was because I am just so sad but touched of course, I am glad I have posted this even if I told myself I shouldn't post such very personal thing again. I hope I can get over it and move on with my life. I don't know whether time is really the best healer, I doubt. But what you said is right, it is a matter of mind. I need to forget him. I have to, and need to keep busy as well.
Thanks for the good advice.

Hi myzhian,
Thank you for the advise I guess I really have no choice but try not to think about him and about our past. This makes me sad and brings more tears to me. I can't even respond promptly after posting this because I was so hurt at that time, and even simple words about this made my eyes so swollen from crying I really hate it.
Right now, I am thinking about entertaining new admirers. There were previous ones that are still there and waiting. But I don't feel something right now. All that was on my mind is still him. I guess I will love when I am ready, not now that I feel alone and sad. Yes I have to agree that I can find love from friends.
