You are not dumb, it just happens that you fell in love for the wrong guy. but it does not necessary mean you are stupid, for love is blind and affection is a deep word. It is normal for any human being to experience loneliness when the person you loved broke your dear fragile heart,crying all over and over would ease the pain but if this things is happening for a very long time like 1 month or more, it is not good anymore, it is a depression that may lead to something more.
Suggestion would be, make yourself busy. it does not solve your problem but at least your mind would not keep thinking of him.

Time would heal that would of yours, It may leave a scar but, at least it has already healed. Even scars can be removed through time... Try to mingle with other men, I mean, forget him for a while, just let go, and in no time. You'd find yourself being in love with another man who deserves you more.

your comments make sense, and i really do appreciate all your response. but i haven't crying for 1 month though, its just i've cried because sometimes i remember him and some of the memories we've shared. and its really difficult to do so, even if quite busy i can't help but remember some things. love really is some of a kind.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your sorrow, it is really hard to forget the person, if our love is real and sincere. But you mentioned that your love is a broken one, so you must try your maximum to forget him and divert yourself with other things. All the best

Hello, Karyl.
First of all, I'm really sorry about your situation. What you must understand is that love is something really complex. Even if it can be understood, we certainly don't have the potential yet. When feelings happen, you just can't cut them like that. And love is something so strong that will probably make you feel really bad if you can't have the one you admire. So, it isn't about being naive, it isn't about being dumb. It is about being human. It could have happened to anybody.
Now, what would I advise you to do: make your decision. You always have a few paths to choose. You can try to conquer his heart through a thousand different ways or you can just decide that this has been going on for too long and it's time to stop. Personally, I would suggest you take the second path. The first one is too painful.
Assuming you have chosen the second way, keep in mind that you can't "educate" your heart to stop loving him. However, a great tip I can give you is: you can educate your heart to focus on different things. If you do other kind of activities, hang out with different people, just put yourself in new situations, your mind will be too busy to keep thinking about this man. With time, you'll stop loving him. It is important, though, that you cut any contact you have with him. Stop calling him, avoid running into him.
More than anything, I hope you do well. I wish you happiness.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

yes it really is a complex thing. and i agree that i do make things to keep me busy though. i even hang out every night with friends laugh and everything but when i go to sleep still its difficult since i remember him. and i do just hope that in a matter of time, this love i've felt for him will just disappear. because i do hope in the saying that time will heal all wounds. thank you for the response and i do appreciate it.

Try to find yourself a new boy friend quickly, that will take all your pains away and make you forget about your hurt feelings, let him mend your heart again. There are many millions of men out there for you to choose, it is really not necessary to cry all over again for a cheater that broke your heart, falling in love doesn't means that you have to be totally blind and foolish, it is not a life long commitment on your part to be faithful to a cheater, stop feeling sorry for yourself over your cheating boy friend, life is too short to continue wasting on him, save your tear and live your life by leaving your nonsense love behind immediately, begin to behave like a matured woman instead of a childish Cinderella, your former boy friend is not the last man left standing on this earth, and he is no prince of darkness either, it is worthless to think of him again and silly to crying over.

but i wouldn't be easy finding a guy if you still have your heart on your ex. but yeah you're definitely right my ex is not really worth it and there are many other guys to choose. but still i can't help to be childish since he is my first boyfriend. loving a guy or a girl that broke your heart is such the foolish feelings on earth.

firstly don't think low of yourself. You are not dumb. If he din't see the jewel you are then it's not your fault at all. Karyl, what ever happens for good. That man was not worth you so stop crying over it. You will get someone better than him who will love you for who you are. Divert your mind to something that makes to feel better.

yeah. i would probably do that and love myself first like what the others said. i hope that like you all said, i can do it. and i would stop loving that guy because i know his not worth it but its just my heart that won't stop. i think is there a way to numb ones heart so that it will ease ones pain?

Actually I guess most of people may have similar experiences in their life, including me. But dear girl, a person who will madly love you just as you love the man, are waiting for you in the following corner. Love is mutual appreciation and enthusiasm,which you will understand in a new love-relationship. So, just be brave to leave the man. Since he is never afraid of losing you,why should you be brave to do so? Leaving him and seeking a new life, you will find the world is still wonderful.

yes, i do think of that too. but maybe i am like this since i am new to this love-relationship. but yes i know i will just meet the man for me. and in a matter of time i will just forget this man that i treasure in my heart as of this time. and i just hope for myself too that i will be that brave person you hope me to be and leave him. thank you so much for this response.

You cannot teach a person how to move on. You are the one who can help you in a situation like this. Crying is a helpful thing to do. But you must realize that future will be good instead of sulking and thinking about him. Go out, enjoy and spend time with your friends. At the tome like this, you should improve yourself so that when the time came that a person that is meant for you came, you will become ore than perfect for him

Of course you are not dumb, you cant help what you feel for this man and you cant just turn your feelings off, although things would be so much simpler if we could. Things will get better, but it will take time. You just have to try look at all the good things in your life and concentrate on them, think of the future.

I agree with all the the different things that people have said in giving you advice. You are not dumb at all and you are simply human. Anyone could be in your position when they fall in love with someone and that person cheats on them and hurts them. Anytime you love someone, you become vulnerable and give them your heart so they have the ability to hurt you, make you happy, or both. People and relationships are complicated and it takes time to fall out of love or stop loving someone. But as long as you stay away from him and focus on other things in your life whether they are old or new things, you will eventually forget about the pain and move on. One day you will realize that you are ok and not hurting anymore. There's no time limit because different people are different. Focus on things and people that you like and love and spend time doing those things. Keep busy and try to find new things to do and meet new people. Remember to love yourself too and surround yourself with people you know and love who also love you such as your family and friends. You can also look into a support group online for people who have had their heart broken like you have. I am sorry about what has happened to you and I hope that even writing here and this advice you are getting helps even a little. Good luck and God bless you!

Tips? easy, keep yourself busy. Mind of him. Find your friends. Hang out with them. Do more and more activities. Upgrade yourself. Go do some workout, go do some studies. Anything or any activities that can make you forget even for a moment. Time will tell when you finally stop. It takes time. I took more than 1 year to forget and move on.

I think you should find a new man to love. If you find a new man, slowly but for sure you will forget him. Thinking about his negative side, how he breaks your heart, what he do which make you hurt, and Why he leaves you. You should Try to think logic, that he does not love you anymore, why you should love him. You should more sharing with your friend, hanging out with your friend. Also you can leave your town which have a lot of remember about him and life in new city.

I can relly relate to yo karyl since i've been suffering all these years for that kind of situation. I guess all you need is to have time for yourself and time to ponder things.
I know it's not easy for ive been through but if this kind of situation happens, its better to look back and give more importance to yourself than others. Try loving to yourself back before you will love other person....
Find ways or activities that might change your focus and try to be happy, migle with your friends and make your faith in God stronger. Always remember that every thing happens for a reason.

ive been there on your situation before i met my husband. back in the days i have always felt that i am so unfortunate when it comes to love. there was a big question on my mind that why me? why i always end up hurting and crying? i always wanted just to be in love and be loved in return. until i kept on praying that somehow someday all my heartaches will fade easily without crying too much, but im less fortunate that time until i met a guy online (thats my husband). and i thanked God for having a man like him, i helped myself to move on too.... and what i have learned when it comes to love? dont give too much, love yourself first...before others, dont let anyone hurt you the way you dont deserve to be hurt. be a fighter of your own emotions.. find a guy that will love you truly deeply, a guy whom you can trust and will give you everything without limitations, just keep on praying that youll overcome that situation. dont cry over and over. just cry once and cheer up. i knw its hard sometimes but you just have to.,, Goodluck karyl!!

You are not dumb at all, when you love someone you give yourself completely to that person. You will not be able to stop yourself from loving him not matter how bad he is.
I've read this in some quotes I received a while ago it meant that the person who loves you will never hurt you or break your heart, but if he does then he is worthy of your love.
You should start diverting your mind to some other activities, get yourself involved in something else. I know it is difficult, but you should at least try. There are many wonderful things around. All the best to you.
