Well is there?
( What's it like to move on
Definitely!
I went through an awful breakup in my early 20s. We were talking marriage and kids and everything and he cheated and married the other woman. I didn't eat for two weeks (great for my figure! lol) and cried and couldn't sleep and had to take an incomplete in one of my college classes. It was TERRIBLE.
Even two years after the breakup, I had moments where I would just cry all day.
But looking back? I realize how much better I am without him. He had a horrible, meddling, nasty mother and he cowtowed to her. He cheated. He was terrible for my self esteem. I've dated many men since then and have been living with the current BF for eight years.
It takes time. You'll be depressed for a while. And then one day you'll wake up and feel just fine again.0 -

Of course not. Life after heartbreak? Your heart is broken, no one wants a broken heart to take care of.
Now, seriously....
As cliche as it is, TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS.0 -
I read that as "life after breakfast"
Either way, the answer is yes.0 -
Absolutely. I've gone through hell and back having lost my bride. I thought the worst, but now know better.
It's not something I'd like to experience for another 50 years, but I can tell you this...look at what life has been able to teach. seek the lessons, grow stronger mentally and emotionally.

This.I have been single for three years myself so I am rusty if anything on this topic, but I would say yes, that there is life after heartbreak. I'd go far enough to say it is largely what we make of it.0 -
Nope, you are destined to be heartbroken and alone forever.0
-
yes there is, and it's different for everyone0
-
I hope so.0
-
Yes, there definitely is. Heartbreak tends to lead to something better in the end. It may hurt now, but it won't hurt near as bad when you find someone that is twice the man that he was. Just have fun and it will come.0

no
only darkness
on the edge of town
in the rain
is that a The Smiths song? sounds like a The Smiths song. :huh:
maybe written on one of Morrissey's happier days.
Here I was thinking it was the Cure or Peter Murphy0 -
Absolutely! It will be hard at first. But, with time it gets easier. Eventually you will find the guy that was meant to be with you and you will realize everything worked out exactly the way it was meant to
I've been there, got out of a relationship with a guy I was with for 5 years. It was very hard at first. Then, I got together with my now husband and I am so thankful everything happened the way it did. Head up! Everything happens for a reason. When you least expect it, you will find your soul mate, the one you are meant to be with 0 -
i wonder that alot lately and I really, really hope so x0
-
Yes, there absolutely is. It really does just take time though. Focus on yourself - taking care of yourself, figuring out what you want and enjoy in life when not influenced by a partner, focus on achieving your goals. Keep busy! Spend lots of time with friends and family. The pain and hurt subsides. Eventually you will go long periods of time without even thinking of that person, and when you do, chances are it won't hurt anymore.
Good luck and hugs your way.0 -
100% yes, even if you thought they were your soul mate, married for 15 years with kids, and have an affair. Yes there is life after death. lol0

There is life after heartbreak. My heart was shattered on December 19th 1997 when a police officer knocked on my door and told me that my husband had been in an accident. He was hit head on by a drunk driver and died before they could get him out of his truck. Our children were one and three at the time.
Fifteen years later and this is still the hardest week of the year for me. It makes my heart hurt to know I won't ever feel his kiss, his touch, or the butterflies he gave me when he walked in a room. It makes my heart hurt to know that he won't be at birthdays, graduations, or walk our little girl down the isle at her wedding. My heart just hurts!!
Now for the life after....it took a LONG time but I did meet someone who has filled the hole. He gives me butterflies, too! I still miss my husband and wonder what he'd be like at our age now...but I have someone that I love deeply and who loves me! We have a strong connection....one that I didn't think I'd ever have with anyone else. There is life after heartbreak....and it's pretty good! It doesn't mean that all the memories will go away...but, you can have happiness!
Reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I cannot even imagine. I am glad to hear you found a nice guy though. It's crazy how quick life can change in an instant. After this school shooting, I have realized I take things for granted (as i am sure a lot of people do) Now I am cherishing every moment I have with my loved ones! My prayers are with you. 0 -
I hope so. Im going through a bad break up right now.
It sucks, but Im trying to be positive and look forward to a fresh start in the new year.0 -

Yes there is.
To the OP-You will find happiness with a new love.0 -
I believe it depends on the person. While you can love someone with all your heart, you still decide how your life continues without them. You can make it enjoyable or you can make it sad. This isn't discounting that the heartbreak is insignificant, I'm saying that people have a choice to live better. Is it hard? Yeah, but that's when the best of us usually shine.

It takes time. Years ago I had a very hard time after my boyfriend and I broke up. It tooks months before I finally got over it.0
-
Absolutely! :drinker: Time heals. But it's also up to you to be happy.0

Of course there is life after heartbreak...
No love affair is worth dying for especially one that ends in heartbreak...0 -
Of course there's life after heatbreak. If there weren't, the world would cease to exist because every person on the planet has experienced it. If we all married the first guy we ever loved, the divorce rate would be close to 100%.0
-
It took 27 years for you to experience that? Count yourself lucky. No matter what, yes.... there's a better life IF you stop and reflect on the past and learn from it. Otherwise, you will make the same mistakes over and over.Well is there?( What's it like to move on0
