"It is truly the worst. The grief thing is so true but maybe worse on your psyche as you know its from rejection. I can't really speak in detail about mine but when it happens, there's a void that can't be filled with anything no matter how hard you try. Even a trip to do the food shopping had me in tears because it was something we'd always done together. The one person who you'd spoken to about everything, who supported you through every tough time was no longer there when you needed them the most. It's tough and I'll be very careful before I let myself get that involved again " But we should always love like we’ve never been hurt too, it’s hard not to let that pain change you build Walls etc, but you do find it again when it’s meant xx | |||

"It’s like grief, and you really can’t see past it but experience shows you otherwise so maybe you were prepared this time. When u love someone and for whatever reason it can’t work or they don’t feel the same thats hard too. Iv seen people older couples literally lose the will to live when their life long partner dies. I’d say that’s the equivalent of dying of a broken heart. " My Mum and Dad were married for 66 happy years until my Mum died of cancer. They were devoted and loved each other right to the end. My Dad lived for another 2 years but eventually died as he just didn’t want to live without her - he def died of a broken heart. | |||

"I have indeed. At some point I'm gonna get a tattoo on my inner wrist. I'm not entirely sure what it's gonna say or how to word it, but something like "we don't break promises" to remind myself not to go there again. Not to allow another person too close. I broke that promise to myself 2 years ago and it ended very badly. It confirmed that I was a fucking moron and should have never believed it could have been any different. " | |||

"The most broken I’ve been was when I left my husband. It’s very possible to break your own heart. It’s all a learning curve and you do grow and heal in time. Still saddens me to this day, but there was never a moment or regret or what if. " It was as if we were both typing the same thing at the same time then | |||

"Yep, a couple of times in my late teens where I thought the world had ended after being dumped by girlfriends, and another time when I was 26 with a girl I was head over heels in love with and I pined over for a long time afterwards. I feel like I've become much harder/numb with my emotions in the years since and don't think I could ever get heartbroken like that again, at least not over a relationship. There's a lot more raw emotion in young love that is hard to feel again when you get old and jaded." I think it can hurt as much as you get older tbh | |||

"I mean a proper broken heart. You can't think about anything/anyone but him/her. You feel physically sick. Stomach pains. Loss of appetite. You keep checking your phone to see if they've messaged you. Everything you do reminds you of them. No motivation to do anything. I have twice. The first time was just over 12 years ago and she was my first true love. I remember we split up just before Christmas and I was in pieces. I had stomach pains, I didn't want to do anything and I even struggled to go to work a few times. It was awful and back then I felt as though my world had ended lol. The second time was over 5 years ago (less than a year after I split with my ex wife). I thought I finally met someone who shared my interests and made me laugh. We both knew the other was on the rebound but we just went with the flow. We had fallen in love. We'd only been together for 6 months but things were moving very fast and considering she had just come out of long term relationship (2 weeks before meeting me) and me a three year marriage (I split with my ex wife three months earlier) she felt she needed time to find herself. I was severely heart broken. I'd sit in my lounge most of the day doing nothing. I'd keep checking to see if she had messaged me. I even went to Dubai for a week to see a friend in the hope I could forget about her. It really was awful. Now the strange thing is, when I split from my ex wife I had no feelings of heartbreak at all. I had about a month to myself to gather my thoughts and have some me time afterwhich I was back out there enjoying life. Strange how things go. I just thought I'd share my heartbreak experiences as I read something the other day which made me reflect. " Just once, 2 years ago. Can't believe I got to 50 before it happened. It's still as raw as it was 2 years ago. I don't feel like I will ever recover. | |||

When you're younger and it's the first time you've ever felt such intense feelings for someone it absolutely destroys you when it gets snatched away from you, and there's nothing you can do about it because for whatever reason they just don't want you any more. | |||

Not if you haven't been taught or been lucky enough to learn "how" to deal with your emotions in a healthy way. The pain at 42 was no different to the pain in my younger years. When I was younger I had hope. Hope that things would be different, hope that although I was sad that there are plenty of other people in the world and a lifetime to meet them. Adventures and good times along the way. There's no rush right?! The older you get that hope diminishes. You realise that due to nature/nurture you've been predisposed to be drawn to those who are not healthy for you. Your upbringing and life experience has infiltrated your whole being. I can't teach myself to be attracted in a romantic sense to people I'm not. So with time comes a greater loss than "just" love. It's a loss of hope too. You don't just not trust others, you lose trust in yourself to make the right partner choices, coz until now, you've fucking sucked at it and if anything your choices have done bugger all but confirm you're fucked in the emotional department. | |||

It’s not like tv show where it’s quick, it took a long time and the doctor told the nurse to turn the sats machine off as we were all glued to it watching his bp and heart rate slowly drop. The noise as they turned off the ventilator and he took two breaths on his own, no words. I’ll never forget that noise as long as I live | |||
