Hang in there. I think those break ups after a divorce can sometimes be even more painful. Not sure why.

Be gentle with yourself. Reach to friends and family for comfort. You are strong and you'll get through this.

Sending healing hugs!

I"m so sorry you are going through this again, Sandysan! Many things in life seem easier the more times you go through them, but unfortunately I don't think break-ups are that way :-( But at least you have the benefit of experience to know you can get through it.

You certainly aren't stupid; it's just that there are many people out there who have too much emotional baggage to be able to commit to a healthy relationship, and some of them are so out of touch with themselves that they don't even realize their own difficulties, let alone showing them to others--so they can be very hard to spot (IMO).

(((((((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))

its heart breaking you find yourself at this point, but its also good that you are at this point. Stay strong and deal with what comes, but keep in your mind, "its time to move forward"

So sorry that this happened to you!

First and foremost, please know that this is not your fault!

You cared about a person, shared your life with them, and gave them the benefit of the doubt. That is what any decent person in a relationsip would do.

Unfortunately, it sounds like he was a "taker." You deserve better than that.

Be kind to yourself, today and always. You will make it through.

Wishing you comfort, peace and happiness.

Thanks guys. I needed you today. Those of us that have been through this.

It hurts like h*ll. :( But you know the drill--it'll get easier, and then you'll be in a place to put yourself out there again.

A quote I saw recently: "Grief is the price we pay for love."

It hurts when the love stops, but we put ourselves out there again and again because love is so good.

Be strong, but be kind to yourself... and yes--we're all here for you.

(((((((((hugs)))))))))

guys. Thank you again. I have to do Disney on Ice tonight and i was so bummed but you have all reminded me that it is about me now snd not the one that ran away.

The pain will come at the strangest times and it hurts just as deep every time.

Awwww Hun, I am sorry. I know it hurts.
I mentioned to you that some lying %^& married man got next to me on dating site, despite me having prominently posted "no married or attached." And somehow, that opened up ALL the old wounds.... nearly killed me. The next guy is gonna be scrutinized SO hard....and I know that is true for you too! We won't let anything get by us next time..right?
I feel for ya on a cold wet day in Arizona, San.

I'm sorry you're going through this :( I am as well...some days are definitely better than others, and sometimes I wake up in my new apartment and ask "how did this happen?" It's not your fault. It's so hard now, but it gets better.
