Not sure how "popular" this thread might be, but for those who have recovered enough to share their stories...

Who here has a story to share of having their heart broken?

Just listening to Gin Blossoms, 'Til I Hear it From You. Reminds me of a time a number of years ago I couldn't believe it was over ... until I forced him to say it. I listened to this song over and over as I drove over to his house one night, to build up the courage to force his hand, so I could finally know where I stood. As soon as he finally did say he didn't love me anymore, it was an instant crushing feeling, but followed suddenly by a feeling of freedom. It still hurts, no doubt about it, rejection stings whether you're prepared for it or not, but I will never forget walking out of that man's house and his life, with pride in my gait that I didn't have to live as a prisoner of his selfishness anymore. He just wanted to "have someone", anyone, as long as he wasn't alone. I just happened to be around at that time, and for over 3 years he kept me from meeting anyone else who might have loved me the way I deserved to be.

And the rest, as they say, is history...getting so nervous and excited about this July

Sad story, PS!!

More broken heart stories are too personal to tell.

What's happening this July?

Gettin' married!

It only took him 8 years to pop the question, but I can't complain, he's a good guy, and he was worth the wait :-)

Yeah, I hear you on the "too personal to tell". I left out many of the sordid details which led me to the conlusion I did in the case I started with. I was young and naiive when I met that person, what can I say.

I hear ya.I have a similar story but it's still to painful to talk about..So,my story will be one not of a broken heart from a relationship...but an unrequited broken heart of a youthful crush. Waaaaay back in 89...I was 19 and a small town girl...you know the deal...known everyone since you peed in the sandbox together. Cute Gorgeous guy moves to town.At the time I was ahuge U2 fan, totally in love with Bono, anyhow new guy is a U2 uberfan, has the whole Bono "look" going down. He starts to hang with our gang...I'm totally besotted.I mean I really like this guy.... I'm starting to think i feel a connection between us...we flirt,makeout a few times..things are looking up. Now during this whole time, my bestfreind is aware of my feelings for this guy and knows I'm getting up the courage to make my move. Anyhow, long story short...the night I decide to tell him, she and he dissappear together. Next day I find out she took him home.
Worse still, she told him everything about how I felt,blah,blah,blah and then there was this big awkward scene the next day....fuck, I felt like such an idiot! It was truly humiliating.

Hey cool! I didn't know that! Congradulations!

Yeah, rejection always hurts. When my first girlfriend dumped me it took me a long time to get over it. Even though I knew the relationship wasn't working anymore, the fact that I was dumped made it hard to let go. But it's amazing how music enhances whatever it is you're feeling. A perfect example is "With or Without You" by U2. Depending on the circumstances in your life no other song makes you feel like the king of the world one day and suicidal the next. The King of Donair described it best: "That song is emotional poison."

Lesson learned...U2 is overrated. Don't get me wrong I like them, but they are overrated.

I was 22 or 23 at the time (I'm 26 now). That's right; I didn't have a girlfriend until I hit my twenties.

My first taste of heartache occured in jr. high, I was 13 and very fascinated with a lovely classmate, Ellen Smithy (where are you now?). She let me visit her house one afternoon, and she played the piano. She showed me her sheet music and asked me who the composer was, I read the name and said "Chop In" instead of "Show Pan",
she laughed. Not a funny haha laugh, but a "you poor unworthy little shit" kinda laugh.
To make a long, pointless story short, she soon fell for "Weedies" (cause he smoked), the biggest juvenile dilinquent in school. I felt as though I must be the biggest loser in the world.
I don't think I was ever dumped or rejected again, not really. Bad shit happened for sure - but not that sort of thing.
Cheers?

There's alot of sad relationship stories here...I was wondering what do people in here usually do to get over a relationship? For me, the the month after I got out of "4 years of hell" was I went out, and just hung with friends that I never hung out with in a while....I went and bought some new kicks, got a new tattoo, and it seems kinda stereotypical, but I went out and hit the clubs, had some fun with some cougars... I found the best thing to do was to get out and do shit..Do shit that you for some reason did not do while you were in the relationship. It makes you feel a bit better, because if you are having good experiences, A. it keeps your mind off that person, B. it just gets you out of the house, C. it kinda makes you realized these are the things you were missing while in the relationship...I did that, and I got introduced to the awesome girl I have now.

I've been single for a couple years now. I moved to Peterborough and that was the end of a seven year relationship. I still don't know what happened because we could still see each other on weekends. He lives about 2 hours away which I didn't think was a big deal but I guess I was wrong. Needless to say I don't think I will be able to trust again and that's why i'm staying single. Plus i'm too old for dating.
