Have you ever had your heart broken?

So, have you? Share the pathetic details, if you wish. ;)

I had my heart just crushed by this guy Adam my senior year of high school. I had had an on-and-off crush on him since about eighth grade, and he was kind of the same way with me. And we had very different circles of friends but we had a friend in common who ended up fixing us up during our senior year. So we hung out a few times, and had what I thought was a really fun time, and had a few long phone conversations, and then he just completely stopped talking to me. Like, wouldn't even acknowledge my presence, with no explanation. I was crushed, with a good amount of pissed-off added to the mix. ;)

Then he tried to start talking to me again at graduation, but I was not having any of it. :headshake Honestly I probably regret being so unforgiving in that case more than any other relationship choice I've made, because he really was a nice guy and I think we could have been friends.

And that was really my only heartbreak. Sadly, I never liked any of the guys I dated before Sean enough to get my heart broken by them.

Totally, I wsa sure I'd be single forever after him! Paul, as mentioned in the "serious relationships" thread was my first huge relationship. He was 6.5 years older and we dated for about 2 years after being best friends for a year. He decided sex was too important and got another girl pregnant. He was then talked into marrying her because "it's the right thing to do" and didn't even have the nerve to tell me! His sister, my bestest friend, was the one to tell me. It was horrible! I've only cried that deep and hard three times- Paul, a really bad time with Sean and I and when my uncle died last year.

Daniel broke up with me twice when we were dating. The first time I was just MAD. The second time I was heartbroken. Both times, though, he broke up with me because he decided he wasn't good enough for me. (I know that's an old line, but I believe him. He also had "friends" telling him he was bad for me. I have not entirely forgiven these "friends". :gangup He also had rotten self esteem and a mistaken idea that I was a sweet, innocent, delicate little flower who needed lots of tending. Idiot. :nannybooboo)

Anyway, the second time it happened, I was crushed. I considered revenge...there were a few guys in my life at that time who made it pretty clear they'd be willing to take his place, but I liked all of them, and didn't want to use them, plus, when I was around other guys, I realized how little I wanted to be with them and how very much I wanted to be with Daniel. I went through a very black few days, and then I had this kind of moment where I realized that I loved him and even though I wouldn't wait around like an idiot, as long as I felt this way, I wouldn't rush into anything with anyone else, and I'd be open to getting back together.

We got back together, and then about a month later we found out I was three months pregnant. :noway

So that was spooky. I'm glad I had spotting that meant we didn't find out until then, to be honest. We needed to work out the stuff we worked out.

[Stacy]

Yes I have. The last time was when Sonny came home in May and told me he wasn't in love with me anymore. Thank goodness it was a cry for help not a I am leaving. We started talking and going on "dates" and WE are back in love. I am gun shy now though. I really worry

[Erika]

Yes. My first love. Eventhough I was the one to ultimately end it, he still broke my heart. I still think of him with a lot of fondness.

[Kami]

Yes, I have. I was upset when I ended things with Dylan & KyLynn's Dad, but Chad totally crushed me! I am trying to get past everything and trust again, but I honestly don't know that I will ever be able to give my heart to someone like I did him.

[Danielle]

Yes, I sure have. One time when I was 17 and I thought I'd die of a broken heart! I still adore him (as a friend) and still talk to him on occasion. Another time when I was 19 or 20 and I was with a guy I would have stayed with forever but he was really immature and into the "bar scene" and decided he wasn't ready to settle down yet. That one was tough for me because I really loved his family too so it was a huge loss when we split up. His dad passed away a couple of years back and I still felt so awful :(.

[Beka]

No, i never have so hopefully now i'm married i never will (hopefully)

I guess with me alot of the reason why i never have is i am very very emotionally guarded so never got attached to anyone aside from David (and only really got attached to him once expecting his daughter) being emotionally guarded i was never open to having my heartbroken as I was more annoyed than upset when i got screwed over by people i cared about.

[Sam]

Yes by two people.

[giffy]

Once. We'd been friends for 3 years before we got together, and we'd been together for about a year. Things had been bad for a long time, and one night he rang to say he was going overseas for a few months the next day and couldn't handle the "responsibility" of having a girlfriend.:violin

While he was gone, I met the transitional guy, though nothing beyond a few UST-ridden meals happened with him for a while.

Once Mr-No Responsibility came back (having sent 1 stinkin' postcard from the airport), he rang me. i wasn't even sure of the date he was expected home, and I honestly didn't recognise his voice. I knew then I'd moved on.

[Joni]

I would say no, although close. At the time I thought my heart was broken, but looking back, it could have been worse.

In 10th grade, a really cute boy ended up on my volleyball team in gym class. I immediately had a crush on him, but he had a girlfriend. He flirted shamelessly with me anyway. I was completely taken by him. He was extremely good looking, extremely popular, smart, witty, and sweet. The following year, we became really good friends. He dated different girls, but he spent an awful lot of time with me. Soon he was single, and we spent every noonhour together, hours on the phone, sent dozens of emails, and went on a couple of dates. I was completely smitten by him. He said a lot of really sweet things to me--how I was the 'perfect' girl, so beautiful, so sweet, how he loved me and thought I was such a good friend.

Just when I thought we'd finally get together, he came to school and excitedly showed me a picture of the girl he scored with on the weekend. I was devastated, but even moreso, I was angry at myself for not recognizing what a player he was.

He did it to me again in senior year. He told my best friend he wanted to ask me to prom, and the buildup to that was awesome--hanging out again, laughing, talking. Then he chickened out and went with some other girl. Again, I was crushed.

I talked to him once when I was away at college, and he asked me if I was coming home for Christmas. I said yes. He asked me if I wanted to "hook up, if you know what I mean." I laughed out loud and gave him a very decisive NO. I knew then I was over him, after having wished things had gone differently for 3 years.
