You said you can’t stand seeing my heart being broken, so when you broke it, did you close your eyes? </3

hi all, its the weekend and the tears have started again!
Last weekend my ex e-mailed me, telling me that he was crying, thinking of all the lovely moments that we had spent together but, he told me that he would overcome his tears and since then he has hardly been in contact, I am now left feeling bewildered, not knowing if he is being genuine or just trying to mess with my head. I was strong though, I told him that I could not make him talk with me. But it has opened up so many emotions and the tears are here again. I do not think I will ever recover from him …. 8 months and I am still crying … how sad is that ……..
6 years in a relationship….we were high school sweet hearts…8 months pregnant…I was planning on naming my son after his daddy…yesturday my boyfriend decides to disclose the fact that he hasn’t been in love with me for the past year and was hoping his feelings would change bt they haven’t…what a great time to tell me this!
I feel so empty without him. We were meant to be best friends. And it’s so simple for him to just forget me. I can’t go on I just smile and pretend at work and I just feel so lost. I’m 25 and in a responsible position but I don’t know how to control my feelings right now and I’m just so broken. I cannot see way forward.
” While tring to hold us together, as the truth remains and i know, that my pain and heartache will dissapear the moment i let him go”……

I just want this HURT to stop HURTING : (……….
Hi all, well it has now been 53 weeks since I broke up with my ex, its still not easy, somedays I wake up feeling as though it only happened yesterday, the tears still flow, I still have this empty void in my life, I still have to push myself into doing things. I am glad it is not this time last year, as it can only get easier, time is a great healer but, a very slow healer for me. I think it will be a long time before I contemplate another relationship.
Message for Bonnie & Mary, hope that you are both doing ok and that you have both managed to move on.
Take care all x
How Do I Get Over My Broken Heart When My Man Cheated & Got Another Girl Pregnant..I’m Hurt, I’m Betrayed, I’m Angry. He Could Have Been A Man & Told Me. I Told Him Way Before That I Want A Man, Not A Whore. Just Can’t Believe Someone Who Tells You They Love You & Make Plans To Be In Your Life Forever Can Hurt Me Like That. I Don’t Know What To Do.
