My boyfriend of 6 1/2 months broke up with me on Monday and I’ve been broken in pieces since then. We met on Xbox 2 years ago. A friendship turned into a relationship but things took a turn for the bad in August. I cried myself to sleep Monday night and might be the same tonight. He was my one true love and I will never love anyone the same way.

Hi Sky. I'm a 36 year old dude, and I'm guessing you are younger. Young emotions around relationships are always strong and powerful. Both the highs and lows often feel unbearable. And feeling them is part of growing up. They help us make better decisions as we get older. A wise man once told me that "I didn't lose a girl, but gained a better perspective on how to choose and interact." Often we make a lot of mistakes as we mature. Break ups teach us to make fewer mistakes. So feel those emotions and let them remind you about what you learned. You will rise again soon enough and find yourself being able to breathe again, and soon you'll be running along ready to take on the world once more.

I've had my heart broken several times, and every single time things got much better. It sure didn't feel that way at the time, and now I sure do giggle at how my heart ached at that time. You're going to be fine. I promise.

Oh and one more thing......there is no "one true love" for any of us. You will eventually meet the one you choose to love that will love you in return, and sometimes that lasts forever and sometimes it doesn't. We should always continue to risk love. It is the most powerful of all emotions and commitments. It is why we live.



PS - See my siggy for one of my favorite quotes about love

Almost everyone has walked in those shoes and probably more than one time! Relationships will come and go but I sure don't understand how anyone can get into one while playing a game!.
Personally, I think it's best to wait for at least a year before getting into another relationship.
Learn about yourself. Learn what YOU like and don't like about you first. You are the only person you can change and will be better prepared when you get into another relationship. Oh and stand back, let him come to you first!

I was married to the 1st one for 16 years but moved out at 6yrs before he could kill me. The 2nd marriage ending really hurt. We were together for over 30 years and married 29 years. He had the audacity to think I was going to sign away everything using HIS attorney. I guess he thought I was pretty stupid but in a way I really was. He had been stealing things from me for years and he's a narcissist.
I still love him but I don't like him for the things that belonged to family members when I pass.

I wish for you peace and happiness.

I am sorry that your relationship has ended. Had that happen a bunch of times as well.
Since every person on this planet is different, each relationship of two individual people coming together as a couple,
is different as well. Looking back on my own relationships, the dynamics, jokes made, strong and weak points etc were different in each relationship.
That said, when you are read and happen to run into a compatible person who you have mutual attraction with, it may not be the exact same feel as in this relationship that just ended, but it can be beautiful it its own way as well.
The saying "time heals all wounds" may sound cliche, but it really does. May leave a few scars, but you just continue going on, not giving up.

There is no general recipe for how to heal from a break-up. It is different for everybody.
Some prefer to pull back, others want to discuss it. Some escape into work, others into hobbies.
Do what works best for you and prioritize your own well being for now.
