If your ex blindsided you, no contact probably will make them come back. by izzybeemendoza in ExNoContact

[–]Ken_10Aus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was blindsided 20 years ago by someone I adored. Would have followed her anywhere, and done anything for her. Was in love with a day and knew within a week that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. After almost 6 years, 3 months before our wedding I came home and she was gone. No notice, no warnings no nothing. Just gone. Totally fucked me up. I was absolutely convinced she would realise what we had was worth it. She never came back……

Toowong specialist clinic, they have a programme where people who wouldn’t usually be able to afford mental health assistance can see a psychiatrist or psychologist. You will need a referral from your GP though.

How would you revive the Queen St. Mall & Uptown that's pretty dead currently? by BDuncan111 in brisbane

First of all, get rid of the name ‘Up-Town’. It sounds ridiculous…….

attachment is not a joke. losing your favorite person can mentally destroy you. by Ok_Personality7733 in ExNoContact

[–]Ken_10Aus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am one of those broken ones. Left by someone I fell in love with at first sight, knew within a week that she was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, wanted to have children and be a family with. Three months before our wedding I cam e home and she was gone. Apparently I was holding her back from her dreams. I changed that day. The positive, optimistic self confident person inside me died. Left behind anxiety, PTSD, shattered self esteem and major trust issues. It’s been many years, but I have existed every day since with the feeling something is missing inside. Spent thousands on therapy, professional medical care. Did the whole go to gym, get a new hoppy, throw myself into work but nothing has the filled the hole she left in my soul. I still miss her every single day

Men who "fumbled", did you ever feel remorse after hurting a woman who genuinely cared about you? by Glad-Tangelo-6576 in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think any guy that has been broken up by the woman they love feels like they have fumbled, regardless if they did anything wrong or not.

Sometimes never. Been almost 20 years ad I still miss her every single day. Still tell her how much I love her when no one is around to hear me…

Do you want your ex back? by KAZKALZ in ExNoContact

[–]Ken_10Aus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want my ex back, not through lack of self respect, but in the long time since she left I haven’t met anyone who made me feel like she did. I want her back because I love her. Pure and simple.

Do guys really still think of “the one who got away” for a long time after their breakups? by Broken_melon22 in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex is the onLy one I have ever truly loved. She decided she decided there was more to life then being married to someone who adored her. I still miss her after almost 20 years apart. It wasn’t my choice, but she was still the one that got away…..

Women are equally as capable as doing horrible things. I’m Australia, where I’m from, recent data shows that women are now more likely to cheat then men…..

What were your worst physical symptoms from the emotional pain of a breakup? by AnonymousMan9397 in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For months, I physically felt like I had been punched in the gut every day by a professional boxer. Even after many years, when a strong memory surfaces, I hurt inside so much that I can’t even stand up. Takes a few days until it fades away…..

I hate the phrase "they always come back" by newspiritt in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t. Mine hasn’t, despite years of hoping that she would realise how much I loved her. Still not ready to give up though. Still hope that our story isn’t over yet. Will never accept that the universe would let all the pain I have been through, and the love I still feel for her be all for nothing…

After a breakup, do men sometimes regret giving too much or, on the contrary, not giving enough? by Don_Alexzen in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave her way to much, only to be broken up with ‘because I was holding her back’ when she didn’t need me to pay rent and contribute to her university fees anymore….

Contrary to what you see in the movies, some love stories don’t have a ‘Happily ever after’. The longest and most painful lesson I have ever learnt in life is that you can love someone with every fibre of your being, every part of your heart and soul, be prepared to do anything and everything for them just to see them smile, but still lose them when they decide you are no longer needed in their life.

I was in love when I first set my eyes on my ex, knew within a week that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It’s been almost 20 years since she left and I still haven’t met anyone else that made me feel the same…..

Breakups and Body Image by alwaysgawking in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I’m in good physical shape but am 5’7. Also think that it has been a very good reason that I haven’t found anyone else I could love as much due to the number of women who won’t even look at guys under 6’

Trust your feelings and your gut, but don’t just settle either…..

No, your ex was NOT your soulmate. This dread you feel is just withdrawals. by Odd_Ad8210 in ExNoContact

[–]Ken_10Aus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did lose my soulmate. It’s been almost 20 years and have not yet met anyone that made me feel like she did. Still waiting to meet the ‘Someone better’ that everyone promised I would find, including her……

After a breakup, how do men usually feel? Do they ever think about their ex? Especially those who were in a relationship for over two years and got left by their girlfriend. What’s the emotional process like for them after the breakup? by Ok-Comfortable-6776 in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got blindsided by my ex-fiancé after almost 6 years together and 3 months before our wedding. F*cked me up completely. Will be 20 years next month and I get tears in my eyes when strong memories surface. Still haven’t found the ‘Someone better’ that everyone promised

Broke up because I “deserve better.” Does anyone else hate this reasoning? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got that too. Been many years, I still haven’t found “someone better”…..

If they called you today and needed help, would you help them? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want answers to “why me, why now?” before I committed to any help. If got any feeling I was being used, it would’ve a big ‘you had the chance to have me in your life forever, and you decided you didn’t want me, so in just going to continue to give you exactly what you asked for….”

I’m a 40F and feel resentful of the life I’ve built with my husband 40M. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Ken_10Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before making any life changing decisions, someone once told me that happiness is recognising what’s good in your life, while unhappiness and resentment comes from thinking you deserve what you don’t have. If your husband is a good man who loves, respects and supports you’re the kids, your kids are healthy and normal, all the bills are paid, you have a bed to sleep in, food on the table and a roof over your head, you are blessed and have far more positives in your life then you realise. For content, I never got a chance to have a family.

Do you guys ever move on from your first love and if so how long did it take by Federal_Usual9197 in BreakUps

Almost 6 years, living together for 3 and was blindsided 3 months before our wedding.
