If you fell in love (like REALLY fell head over heals in love) and you know it will never ever EVER work out(like the man might as well be dead its so never ever going to happen), is it normal to feel like you'll never love anyone that way again? He didn't break up with me cuz we weren't ever really together, but my heart is broken. I'm not angry with him or anything either. Its just that I know in my heart that i will never feel this way about anyone ever again, just is it normal?
CheapChineseFood answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 5:28 pm: Yeah...it is normal. I'm saying this fro experience. Your heart is broken, and it's going to stay that way for a long time. But eventually you'll find tape, and start piecing the pieces back together. It'll still hurt, trust me, but it gets better. Time heals everyhing. You'll never really forget him, but you also will realize that your heart wasn't meant for him. Do stuff. Do stuff with friends. Hang out with guys...YES you will see him in other guys. You'll hear his laugh, see the same glint in his eyes with this new guy yur talkin to...but it's okay. He was part of you. You will eventually move on (so I'm told) when you start realizing that what you're feeling now isn't reality, and everything about him should be a memory. And yet...it never will be will it? If you ever need someone to talk to about this email or IM me. I know what you're going through, and maybe I can be a drug. :D It was worth a shot. -<3- Mere

Just always think positivly about all of this..mabye it has just made you a billion times stronger..so just keep your head up high hun! and another thing that will make this a little easier is to talk to people you trust..and if there is no one you can always talk to me! just i/m me and ill be here for ya!

The stronger your feelings were, the longer it'll take you to recover. But you WILL feel better, and you WILL find love again.
My first relationship ended, after a year and a half, when I was a senior in high school. I thought I had found my true love - the person I'd be with forever. I mourned for a long time, and it even affected relationships I had throughout college.
But you know what? I found my REAL true love. The heart goes on - and what I've discovered is that though the pain and emotions following that break-up were devestating, I wasn't even close to experiecing the sort of love I have now in my marriage.

FernGully answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 3:24 am: You don't really have just a certain amount of love that you give out and then there is nothing left. Thats just not how it works. When you love someone so much that at some point you know you'd do anything for them or to be with them and then thats suddenly taken away or it slowly dissolves - you are bound to feel a little lost. You are bound to feel like you'll never love someone else again. The thing is, when you've loved someone that much, you'll always love them, in a certain special way for that particular person. Its not love LOVE, buts its as if that person will always have a place as part of you. Eventually, you're going to love someone again, and its going to be better then you could ever imagine. Its normal to feel this way right now, but it won't last for forever. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
