| How many times in yor life has your heart been broken??
Posted: 6/27/2006 1:45:35 PM | I think BarbelBil put it in good words...
Broken to the point where i recovered relatively quickly...three times
Broken to the point where is seemed i would never recover at all...once
The last time was when my engagement was broken...by email...while he was away and i had been forced to move back home (don't ask, it's a very long story). I was eating only just enough to get by for three weeks and dropped 15 pounds in that time. I would sit on my bed and just burst into tears. Thankfully, i wasn't suicidal, but in the end, i dropped over 45 pounds, and i get the satisfaction of knowing what a great life and what great friends i have! It was a very long road to get to where i am today, but i am pretty sure it was well worth it!
I am also one who wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to fall pretty hard, pretty fast, so Trishnaa, don't give up on romance, soul mates, and everything that goes with it. When the time is right, you will be thankful for all that mushiness.

Posted: 6/27/2006 5:44:26 PM | Three for me.
First time - By my high school sweetheart - some things will never change.
Second time - College boyfriend - I didn't love him. He was very abusive and sucked the life out of me.
Third time - Currently going through that phase.
It sucks! | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 6:53:56 PM | Verissa ~ Perfectly stated. I wasn't sure how to describe it. I'm right there with you. Many disappointments, a few hurt feelings and two heartbreaks. And you are so right ~ lucky we are. Two great loves. Worth every second of the heartbreak, in my opinion.
~OT~ When my son was graduating high school, he wanted me to write one sentence for his future ~ I didn't think I'd ever think about it again, but yesterday he reminded me what I wrote: Love often and love deeply. He recited that to me in hopes I'd try to move on this time. Funny how something so relatively insignificant can mean so very much at a later date. He's right. It's time to move on.  | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 9:18:50 PM | | Three times for me. First one was my first love in high school. My husband that was killed by a drunk driver. Him and my father were together and they were both killed instantly. And the last one is my last relationship I had. I'm still in the process of getting over it. Just wondering how long it's going to take. I've had other relationships but those were the ones that I was heart broken over. | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 9:20:29 PM | i can truly say 3 on different levels of pain breaking
fist was my first love...it hurt but wasnt life shattering when we ended it for the last time over a 5 year span lol teen love 12 - 16
second....was my x husband...letting go of 23yrs together and 21 married was the worst pain
in the end after he broke my heart years earlier.
the 3rd guy....shattered my heart and i still dont believe its healed totally. he opened my heart to feelings i thought i had lost many years before. but will always have deep thankful feelings for him...as he showed me i could love again and survive the pain of a broken heart when and if i ever do try to let myself feel again that deep. | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 9:22:43 PM | like someone else stated above:
only ONCE it was broken so bad I thought I would simply stop breathing from the neverending pain and despair that went on for waaaaaaay too long.
several other times it's been "mini-broken"....I was a little sad, cried a few tears but snapped out of it pretty quickly.
Ouch, that bad one still stings just a little after all this time... | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 9:38:51 PM | I'd say officially 3 times (being that I actually dated them for reals) and countless times unofficially (girls I would chat with online/talk on the phone with then various circumstances like her only wanting to be friends or her turning around twice and getting another bf that wasnt me or her turning out to be a lesbian got in the way)
I have to say that it gets easier and easier to recover though Im still a little bit broken up over my first ex whom I was with the longest and loved the most...but then I just imagine her becoming a vessel for her new man's children (since he's the type that wants 6-8 kids and is in his early 20s....so she can go and enjoy that then) or her possibly being beaten  (morbid but she deserves it for breaking my heart...even after I forgave her for cheating on me a couple times but thats neither here nor there) and have a good laugh and continue my attempts to go to sleep.
and well the subsequent ones were a little easier to deal with because of the shorter duration and less attraction I had for said person. and after the most recent one (which we weren't really dating but it coulda been) I think Im starting to become a bit jaded and bitter and excepting of the fact that aint no woman going to love me in the near future (if ever) | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 5:50:47 AM | I get my heart broken all the time
Ive had one major one where I thought I was going to die the hurt was so bad and it lasted a LONG time..
Two fairly large ones where the hurt was bad but I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and I knew time would do it's thing and I would come out ok and in one peice
and countless other times where I might be upset for maybe one or two weeks but I can get over those ones easier because I know it din't work out for the best . So actually these ones are not really broken heart but rather major disapointment .
I feel no resentment or bitterness though.... and I have nothing bad to say about any of my ex's . I got with them for a reason and I would not want to change that . | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 9:10:27 AM | I'd say three times.. the day I found out about my exhusband's activities which lead to the divorce. That still keeps me awake at night sometimes.
The second time was having a relationship end for no reason (so I thought) at the time.
The third time was in January when he died of complications. He was the first person I trusted again since my divorce and I never got to say goodbye. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 1:12:36 PM | | Four. Four major anyway. The rest were all superficial and at the time seemed tragic, until I stopped to actually THINK about the relationship that ended. Sometimes we cannot see the problems until they are no longer wrapped around your life. But yes....FOUR. My first love in grade 9...(HA HA)...we were never together, but never apart...you know the type. He moved to another province without saying goodbye. We kept in contact until 6 years ago...then he told me he was getting married and I was not invited to his wedding (AND hung up on me!!) LOL. Next was my older child's father. To this day though we are excellent friends. We're both 28, and we've known each other since grade 7 (definitely not always romantically...lol). Next AGAIN was a boy I never got to be with...nothing meshed, nothing was right with timing, he was dating, I was dating...a million reasons (and a million secret kisses behind trees...he he). And the last...my second child's father...and that one I am STILL to this day working on. We finally completely called it off at the beginning of April, I had my little rebound "relationship"...yet it's still difficult. *SIGH* I am too wordy!! | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 5:53:58 PM | | I think your heart gets hurt as many times as you allow it and for me it was twice in my life but never like the first time maybe because it was the greatest love of my life and that one you never forget but I promiss myself not to have harsh feelings and if I get hurt again at least I know what love feels like. In life what goes around comes around! | |

That's a shame . | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:07:15 PM | So....how do you not allow your heart to get hurt? I would love to know this one. Another example of an "independence rant" with a modern day society twist to it. I will be waiting anxiously for the answer. Jenny2040, nothing personal but, you sound like the last "cold hearted " I dated who could never see past her nose and had concrete walls miles thick all around her. She said one thing and did the opposite. I don't even know if she knew I existed half the time. She had all these plans for romance but not half a nut to carry one out. She never got hurt and she never put anything into any type of relationship either. Is this the new trend now? Me me me? Nobody can hurt me because I am Mr. or Mrs. Independent!!!!!! No thanks. I would have been better off dating a blow up doll. At least when I needed to talk, I would be able to get a hold of her (it). | |

Posted: 6/29/2006 2:09:29 PM | | I would have to say that my heart has been broken 3 times. twice by the same man (my ex husband) and the other time was by a man that i was in love with and he turned out to be a diffrent person then who he said he was. | |

Posted: 6/30/2006 4:04:03 PM | | I have had my heart broken badly 4 times and a few other dints along the way. I always tried to see the lesson in everything. More often than not, when you are head over heels for a girl you seem to forget those important warning signs. The last relationship I had definately hurt the most because I totally didn't see it coming. There was a serious lack of cummication and it lead to the destruction of a thought to be perfect relationship. it shook me enough to create a semi-midlife crisis and I took a real good look at things in my life that I wanted to change. Like I said... every experience has a meaning, a lesson to be learned. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. | |

once when I was about 22 and then just recently with the loss of my girlfriend.
Third time was from not living with my son and not seeing him everyday...............that one is the hardest because the girlfriends may come and go but he will always be my little boy | |

Posted: 6/30/2006 5:30:18 PM | | One time is too many, but there are few people that can honesty say they have only been hurt once in their lifetime. We all learn by every heartache and our next new love could possibly be better based on the past broken heart, we all live by our mistakes. Personally I feel like I get stronger each time and find things about myself that I know that I need to change and know what I dont need in my life to make me complete. | |
