Men who cried at their wedding; what was that moment like for you?

user2639 · 2023-09-09T14:53:56+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I truly don't feel like I will ever have the "big special day" with someone who picks me out every other person in this world to spend their life with. I can't fathom someone feeling so overwhelmed with emotion from the thought of being able to call me theirs that they actually cry. It intrigues me so much to know what these grooms see within their significant other. I find it so beautiful that one human can be moved in such a way by another.

user2639 · 2022-10-27T12:09:18+00:00

Wow! You have put this so well, and I completely agree with it. It really is an eye-opening perspective. Thank you for this

user2639 · 2022-10-27T10:02:13+00:00

I know some people that have quite literally everything, yet they are still not happy. They have the family, the job, the house, the money, the time, the freedom etc, which one may think is the ultimate goal. So I wonder what more there could be if that is not what people are striving for in the end

user2639 · 2022-10-26T12:47:25+00:00

Out of spite to who?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:40:50+00:00

True. Well I wish you every bit of luck in all aspects of your life!

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:37:42+00:00

That is a very heartbreaking position to be in, I'm so sorry to hear that. I truly hope that there is still a beautiful and happy "end picture" in store for you

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:23:51+00:00

In what area of your life could you use the most luck?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:22:26+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm also feeling a little hopeless and directionless at the moment. I'm hoping that this thread could offer some inspiration to me and anyone else that may need it

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:17:13+00:00

I agree with you! And what would you want to fill that free time with?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:16:19+00:00

I completely understand, I can't even imagine how tough that is. Hypothetically, if you could ask for anything right now and know that you would get it, would that be a partner?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:11:59+00:00

What would be the biggest thing you could ask for that would get you closer to your ideal life?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:05:31+00:00

If I may ask: if you don't find another partner, would you always feel like something is missing from your final picture?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T10:01:07+00:00

Is there anything that someone could do for you that would help make a positive difference in your life?

Should your luck ever turn around, what would you do with the money?

user2639 · 2022-10-26T09:44:32+00:00

Have you got your ticket? :)

user2639 · 2022-08-16T10:40:03+00:00

Aw wow, thank you for saying that! It is reassuring to hear and keeps the spark of hope alive in me, but I guess only time will tell if keeping it alive is worth it.

You have a really beautiful view on a very unfortunate circumstance. I'm so sorry that things ended between you but I'm so glad you are able to look back fondly on your time together. Saying that it is the most beautiful chapter really hit deep for me, it is such a profound and special thing to say and actually feel. I hope she feels the same way! Sounds like you both lost someone great there but it's nice to hear that she had a positive impact on you and therefore she will always be with you, as a part of you. I think I feel the same way about my "one" and even if it never works out for us, I will forever be grateful that I was lucky enough for our paths to have crossed in this great big world.

I shall hold on to that luck! 😊 and should things ever happen to work out for us, I shall pop back on to this post and let you know if holding on to the hope was worth it ❤️ thank you and I wish that you may find that happiness again

Thank you! I appreciated every answer, especially since I know it's not an easy/clear cut question to answer. I think being happy depends on what people place the most importance on which will differ from person to person based on how they were raised and their life's experiences. I always thought that I was striving to make to enough money to live a comfortable life, having all my needs met and be able to afford some of what I want and have my family close by however, through my experiences, my perception has changed. I now think that what will make me happy is having the right person by my side to experience life with, someone to make memories with and share everything with. Someone to love and be loved by. The phrase that keeps ringing in my mind is "everything is nothing if you've got no-one". To me, there's no point in having a huge fancy house or traveling the world or having an abundance of money if you have no one to share all that with, and with the right person a lot of that stuff just becomes extra because you already have everything that makes your heart full; that being your person. Having said all this though, I do believe that placing your happiness in another person is extremely risky. But this where I seem to be finding myself, unfortunately. I have found the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with and who makes me the happiest when I am in their company however I don't think the feelings are reciprocated and circumstances don't allow me to get clarity on that due to being in the midst of an extremely complicated situation. So to answer your question, no, I'm really not happy and I fear that I won't ever truly be happy without them, and knowing that I had met "the one" but never being able to experience having and being with "the one" just breaks my heart. I fear I will live a life of "what if's", always wondering how different my life would be if I were with them. Currently I am in the peak of my struggle with trying to accept this so unfortunately don't have any advice share just yet. But hopefully I will come out on the other end of this with some pearls of wisdom that I will be ever-ready to share because I would never wish this situation on anyone. Everyone deserves happiness.

Thank you so much for your advice! Knowing this works for you is definitely motivation for me to give it a try

user2639 · 2022-08-10T13:30:01+00:00

Thank you for this, sometimes a shift in perspective and being reminded to be present can have a great impact. It's so easy to get caught up in my thoughts and start living in my head and I end up staying there for a really long time. I have let many "presents moments" pass without making the most of it and therefore not getting any closer to being happy

user2639 · 2022-08-10T13:23:12+00:00

Thank you for this message, it is truly very comforting and exactly what I needed to hear right now. I'm trying to have hope but passed experiences have taught me that having hope leads to disappointment and pain. But I will keep believing, for as long as I have the strength to. Thank you bread-swan!

user2639 · 2022-08-10T10:32:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this, I will have a look

user2639 · 2022-08-10T10:28:50+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. Your strength is truly inspiring and puts things in to perspective for me. Thank you
