It's wrong, but i completely fall apart. My heart feels so broken. I want so badly to be worthy to him that every time he rejects me, i just lose it. Sometimes im angry but most times i am completely distraught. I even started cutting. He was supposed to be my soul mate.

Natasha0116 my heart breaks for you. My soul mate has hurt me. I don't know what to do! Keep talking I'm here!

You experience all of the above and more. I believe that the love of our lives do not intend to hurt us. (I am talking about cheaters, liers, not necessarily physical abusers.) Unfortunately, they are soooo selfish, they cannot see beyond 1 minute of their own actions. They put their needs before anyone else including their own kids, which as a mom is a concept that is impossible for me to grasp. I reacted with anger, with sadness, with loneliness. I am now on the other side of the grieving process. I am making myself a better version of who I used to be. I am no longer angry at my ex. In the end, holding onto anger and bitterness only poisons the soul. Allow yourself to express your anger, then let it go!

I honestly feel like you go through many stages when your SO hurts you. Anger, blame, sadness, resentment, being aloof. I guess it depends on the crime and what it means to you. I have no idea what the "correct" way to react is. I wish I knew so I could have done it.

Honestly, this is a question that ads nothing of value.

I'm sorry but what difference does it make what form another's hurt takes?

People are hurt. Why would you exacerbate it by asking this question?

I think it's because you want to "compare out", and measure your hurt against the hurt of another to see how bad off you are

It's kind of like rubbing salt in a wound.

People are actually replying, which also causes me concern.

Maybe we can all just jump on this negative bandwagon and spiral downward.

IMO, this post displays the dangers of the internet. Because if youre depressed enough already, this could push you over the edge.

"Needle in a haystack",,???

What does that have to do with soliciting members to relive their nightmare?

I don't know how old you are, your story or situation, but some people here have lost their financial security, their families, their way of living.

Some, like myself, are hanging on by a thread hoping tomorrow is brighter because the alternative isn't pretty.

Try not to make it worse.

Sassy Grace. Why are you attacking one person's form of pain, suffering and their way of trying to wrap their head around it?

Because it has the potential to hurt other people here.

Many here are suffering from depression and other disorders.

There is nothing helpful about this post. Its negative and can cause harm to others.

It sure as heck harmed me this morning. My pain is no less valid.

Hope that answered your question TXK.

Sorry sassygrace I was wanting feedback so i could feel validated with my feelings. I never meant to hurt you in any way.
I am a grown adult with issues to deal with in my marriage. I just wanted to know how everyone deals with hurt. Sorry. I nevet meant to hurt you.

I apologize as well. I know you meant no harm, but people keep telling me to stay positive and it seems everywhere I turn things are negative.

I reacted too strongly. Please understand that I'm literally at the end of my rope, hence my harsh words.

I wish you nothing but healing and I'm sorry anyone here is hurting.

I agree with the positive stuff. I didn't mean it to be negative. Just wanted people to think. Again. My apologies. I just want everyone to heal.

Praying that everyone's wounds heal!

i would be shocked at first, but then i would talk it out with them. be gentle and be thoughtful. talking things out is the best way to resolve conflict

I kicked her out 2 weeks ago. It's been a roller coaster but better every day. Having access to her Facebook account hasn't helped at all. Looking at it is like pulling the scab from the wound.

You ask yourself why the hell you gave her the title "Love of My Life," when clearly she never EARNED it in the first place.
