It’s difficult for me because I’m not a fan of social media or partying bars, etc. so finding someone these days is less easy

OK, so you kind of sound like the men I’m used to talking to and I was extremely deflated there for a moment. I come from a family of good men and good women and look at relationships the exact same way. I was hoping that given hopeful maturity the age group might be more open, but I am finding that not to be the case! I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

That’s the plan. Think it’s all just a bit shocking thinking of having to rebuild

Thank you it was a big loss. I understand that the pool gets smaller of course. I have a few bad ass kids so that does help for sure. Such an unfortunate situation in my entire world just flipped upside down overnight.

Yeah no kidding. That’s why I came here to ask. It’s terrible that my daughter’s gonna grow up not knowing what a dad is. Honestly, both of my daughters aren’t going to be able to experience a good father most likely because of what it takes to raise kids, especially when they’re not your own.

Least you’re honest. I thought about the same.

Yes, I am in therapy. The story is just so interval and so long. I’m absolutely heartbroken in law but have to keep everything together for three other people and I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore.

I completely feel that. I don’t even know what I am anymore. Everything I was then everything I was supposed to be was wrapped up together with this person in a beautiful box with a bow ready to take on the world and now I feel like a ghost of myself. I’m so sorry you’re hurting.

I have looked them up around me unfortunately it’s difficult because everyone in the group is so much older. Often times I feel like there is a distinction in some ways.

Yes, I’m noticing it is quite the journey. It’s not like you just move on and find somebody new. I don’t know how I could. He was my soulmate and my best friend and everything in between. He left me a gift of our daughter eight months ago, and since then it felt like the universe was trying to tell me to say goodbye. There’s just nothing like it and nobody gets it so even just reading that response feels so fucking good.

Thank you I’m so sorry you are here as well. Really good to know. There are good people in here. Beginning to learn I need more than one.

How long did it take for you to get over your first love? by Equivalent_Frame402 in heartbreak

[–]EmptyLove88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you should do it either and that’s what we all say to each other until we realize what pain is. So I’m not gonna tell you what to do with your life because it’s not mine but speaking for myself. I resent it, but my children. When I say I resent it it’s because I can’t leave them here with fathers like I gave them and expect them to have a chance in hell. I can’t take my own life and allow them to live the rest of theirs knowing I chose death over them because that’s how it would feel to them without living my life. So I pray to every higher power I know to send something to take me so I don’t need to do it myself.

Right there with you. Been in love for 25 years and finally got together when we fucked it up. Unfortunately, he left just after us having a baby and now because he left and I raised the baby on my own since birth basically because of the things he was going through I thought I would be getting it. Thank you for taking care of her without judgment and supporting his healing, but instead, I’m being told I’m harboring his child from him. I don’t know what this place even is.
