Break-up lessons
For many, a break-up can be a hard thing to deal with, and it becomes the source of all our heartache and deeply-rooted pain. As time passes our wounded hearts will heal, and we’ll hopefully leave with lessons that will help us along love’s journey.
What lessons have you learned from a break-up?
Tony, 34:
I will never be as naive as I was then. I was too trusting and I got burned.
Sean,43:
I met the woman who I could have spent the rest of my life with and because I was immature and not willing to compromise, I lost her and I regret it every day.
Maria, 38:
I will never love the way I loved my child’s father, he was my heart. I loved him more than I loved myself. And he got married so he could go to the US. He told me how much he was doing this for me and his son. It’s been two years and I haven’t heard from him since.
Makayla, 27:
I learned not to play games with the heart of someone who really and truly loves you.
Allison, 31:
No man is worth going crazy over. When I met my ex I was young and didn’t know what love was and he showed me love and then broke my heart. I thought I was going to go crazy. I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t talk to anyone, it was as if someone died. I was losing weight over a man who was happily living his life. When I took a look at myself one day in the mirror I realized that what I was doing to myself was stupid. I had to take back control of my life.
Gavin, 33:
Every time I think of this woman I can’t help but smile. We went to the same high school but it wasn’t until after high school that we started a relationship. We eventually got married but separated after I found out she cheated on me. I left the house to live on my own. She begged me to give her another chance and I did. A few months later she got pregnant for our neighbour. I didn’t argue with her, I just left and didn’t go back to her. I divorced her and told myself that not everybody deserves a second chance.
Tyler, 21:
I have come to the realisation that sometimes it’s best to be single, because people who say they love you are the ones to hurt you the most.
