    Seriously... Time heals all. Just takes time..... That being said, if I broke up with someone that I was in love with, went into a coma, and woke up years later, would I still be in love with that person?

    Were they paying you to stay with you the whole time?

    I hope her only payment wasn't occasionally cooking for you...since you were in that coma.

    and sometimes cleaning.

    Best way to get over one is to get under another.

    There’s a new song with some new rules that says this doesn’t work

    "One: Don't pick up the phone
    You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
    Two: Don't let him in
    You'll have to kick him out again
    Three: Don't be his friend
    You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
    And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him"

    Time and conscious effort to focus on yourself will heal you.. you may not understand why right now, but in time the reasons will be clear. I promise. Stay well

    It’ll take time. Keep yourself busy with work, working out, friends, family, etc.

    Heartbreak is inevitable but it's necessary. As cruel as it is, it's just a way of taking us to what truly belong to us and it's a form of self growth as well. It's not about finding someone else to get over another person. Rebounding is never good and this thread has great advice on how to distract the mind while you heal. Best of luck!

    She’s right. No “new best friends”, rebounding is for basketball players

    I guess that will have to wait until I'm all healed up then, it's like the only one I want to speak with is the one I really shouldn't speak with. I appreciate the honesty

    I heard you can actually die from heartache.... that's intense. Is that romantic or creeperish for that to happen?

    They say and I believe, that you can't help who you fall in love with, but it doesn't always work out. And when it doesn't the best thing to do, as many have said, is to occupy your mind with other things, so you're too busy to think about it. It's very hard at first but with time, the days (especially evenings) get easier and don't seem to go on forever. So sorry you're so sad but you'll get through this. You know why, because you have to. Hugs!

    Edited because decided it was tmi

    11 years ago, my boyfriend of 8 years dumped me for a younger skinnier girl. I was devastated. A couple of months later, when the fog cleared, I realized just how toxic that relationship had been.
    Then an online friend decided to come visit the US. I was expecting a couple of weeks of showing him around Atlanta and having some fun. I didn’t expect to fall head over heels for him. 8 months later we got married. That was 10 years ago and we have an adorable 7 year old.

    I know it doesn’t seem like it will happen but that perfect someone is out there for you and you never know when they will drop into your life.

    Thanks for sharing, they say "you'll know when she's the one" and I feel like I keep fooling myself. Hopefully I'll feel that one day!

    I’m so sorry:( breakups are hard! I was proud of myself, I never had my heart broken.... until I was 28. I used to think people were honestly being big babies about it, but dang! That really did hurt! It wasn’t a bad breakup, he was honestly a good friend. But I should’ve just left it as a friendship. I was the one who tried to pursue a relationship, and he was seriously a terrible boyfriend. It changed the way I looked at him, unfortunately. I didn’t realize that until literally just the other day, and we split up in 2013. We stayed in contact here and there, which was really ok. He moved 6 hours away anyway, I could handle a few text here and there. I started dating my now husband the end of 2014, and we just drifted apart from there. Normally this would be fine, but he passed away in a swimming accident on July 4th 2015. I regret not being his friend more. I wish I could’ve seen him succeed in all of his dreams, see who he wound up marrying, and see what his sweet babies would’ve looked like. It makes me sad that he will never get to experience all of that. Weirdly, the breakup hurt way worse than him dying. I miss him as a friend, not as a boyfriend. If you can handle being friends, I say go for it. BUT make sure you give it some time to stop hurting first. If you can’t, that’s ok too. Just wish her the best, and let it go for you. I say as long as they are happy, healthy, and alive out there, it’s all I would need to move on. It gets much better, I love my husband with all of my heart. I couldn’t imagine being with anybody else, and it’s like I have completely forgotten anybody who came before him. We just welcomed our first baby boy, and I couldn’t be more in love with my life ❤️ hang in there. Your girl is out there, I promise ❤️❤️❤️
