I had the ability to love someone as much as I loved my ex. As much pain as he put me through and that I allowed, I still love him. I am grateful for that ability to love. If I did not love him with all of me it would not hurt so bad. Be grateful you have that ability and be faithful you will have it again. V I always try to remember this.

I understand how you feel. I was not in college when he was and he incouraged me to start college and at first was so supportive. Later things turned so bitter about me going to school. I was able to get financial aid when he wasn't and he told me I don't deserve it. I couldn't believe someone who believed in me so much later turned on me. That is still one of the most hurtful things. I got straits A's.. I'm soo proud. I almost didn't pass highschool so this accomplishment for me means everything to me. So for him to say I don't deserve it broke my heart. Well I'm starting school again 10 days from now. I'm nervous! This is will be my second year and I'm going in to it with no support from him but I believe I am strong enough and I am all the support and incouragment I need. One thing I have learned from this is I am so strong. I am thankful for my strength and I'm am so thankful for the opportunity I have to go to school. I'm building my future everyday I am there.

I was going into the health field and he was my champion and my cheerleader. Now I have no one and it breaks my heart. I have no further interest in doing anything anymore let alone try to go back to something that he helped me embrace. :( He was my muse.

The one before this one I humiliated myself. Not this time. I ALMOST took that path.

They are just as excited to see me when I come home from a 10 hour workday, and they are when I come in from getting the mail...it is hilarious. They wag their entire bodies, and make me feel like I am the coolest, most fascinating person in the world! When I break down and cry, they press against me, as if they are hugging me. They love me, and I love them. Then, also grateful for my 2 cats, who although they try to act all independent and tough, still find my hand to rub their heads against, still sit on my chest when I am lying down and purr into my face (which is such a comforting feeling for some reason) and talk to me as if we are actually having a conversation. My animals have given me solace during this difficult, lonely time of heartbreak, and I don't know what I would do without them....

I was desperate and had hit rock bottom and for the first time in a year i actually feel like ive taken one tiny step towards having a day without thinking about the grief and pain of my loss. Dont get me wrong its still there but for the first time these thoughts havent dominated my entire day.

One of them is right to have freedom of speech so I can say whatever I want whenever I want, because right now I have a lot to say that might not make others feel that great.

I will never take anything good for granted again. I enjoy the small things and am content with what I have now. I was with the same man since I was 17 years old until age 38. Not many people can say that. I was faithful and loyal to my marriage the entire 20 years and that is something to be proud of! I would have continued in the marriage if he had wanted to. I am so grateful that I DO live the life I think I represent to my children. One of the most valuable lessons i have learned through this difficult time is how MUCH we all have to be grateful for.

I suppose for me I am just terrified of falling in love again as I don't think my heart could break any worse than it is now. I suppose the only thing that I can take from the break up is my dignity and pride which to me is very important. I cut all contact and when he came to move all his stuff out of my house he was left in peace to do it with no distractions. On the plus I have lost weight and am beginning to look after myself and how I look instead of always worrying about how he was. I just hope that like Carla I will find the desire to love again Thanks for the words of wisdom, am slowly but surely coming out of the heartbreak, its been off for 2 months now after a year and a half living together with very little explanation as to why we broke up.
