Would I ever heal from a heartbreak?

I used to think that someday I would have my prince charming and he would sweep me off my feet. I had that fairy tale for a while but he broke my heart terribly. I couldn't cry although my heart was aching to cry. Two months before he broke up with me, he said we were going to get married. He left on the 4th year of our relationship to work in Chicago and the next 2 years we had a long-distance relationship. But two months after planning to get married, he told me he was dumping me for a 19 year old. I never knew that my heart can break-literally. Well, I managed to move on and now I have guys who are interested in me. But how do you really mend a broken heart?

I've been through something like this last summer. i've found out that he was cheating on me with a rich blond girl. we broke up after 3,5 years relationship. is spite of given an ezplanation he accused me of everything, and that only because i've rised my voice when i found out. i used to be very calm until then, when i let everybody know who he was. it was horrible to be accused or things you haven't done. after six months he called and ascked to see me.i've refused very polite and i have no regrets. it was hard to start a new life but i feel better now, i've made new friends and enjoy life.i've redescovered myself after a long time and a realised how smart and great i am. i've tried to have another relation but it didn't worked then. a could't love another man so it was my choice to be single for a while but i was never alone. i worked a lot, going uot with my friends, traveled a lot and everything i ever wanted to do. now i feel i'm falling in love with a great man and i'm very happy. love finds you when you are ready to love

I think when men are caught doing something bad, they throw back their mistakes at you. He actually said a lot of mean things to me, like pretending to love me to cover up his weakness. I kept myself busy, went out with other guys, hang out with my friends...I quit my job and decided to take up a volunteer job in Brazil. Maybe love will find me somewhere. But after this break up there so many things I discovered about myself, too. But I prefer to be single for now. Thanks...

Very rarely does anyone escape from this sad fact in any loving relationship. Almost anyone will actually experience heartbreak at least once in their lives, and those who don't are very rare indeed. I consider myself one of the very many who have also had their heart broken, so I think I know what I'm talking about. I hope these words will help you deal with the pain and loneliness and help you survive the difficulties. The most difficult part of it is, because you've been in a relationship that has taken a long time, almost anything you do in your life afterwards will remind you of something about that relationship. First of all, don't despair! If you've been in a relationship, it means you are capable of having another one, and there will always be another one if you know how to love. Next, always focus on the happy memories that happened in your relationship. Even if it's already done, always remember the happiness and good feelings these memories have brought you: they will help you feel good and lessen the pain of parting. Immerse yourself in other things that make you happy and keep your mind busy, so that you don't dwell on the pain: revive an old hobby, do some volunteer work. The old adage that time heals all wounds always holds true: keep doing these things one day at a time, and before you know it, you're over the failed relationship. I don't know if you're religious, but don't forget to pray; it always helps. Always have a smile on your face; who knows, that smile might just attract someone else who can give you that perfect relationship you can have for keeps! Keep hanging on, good luck! :)
