Ever had a broken heart.....?

Yes, permanently.

Like Becky said there are many things that can give you a broken heart, such as the betrayal of friends, or the loss of a friend or relative, but all that aside my heart as only ever been broken once.

It was my own doing that lead to my broken heart. Just over two years ago now, when I was 19 I met, what I think so far to be the one for me. She had everything any guy would want. Intellegence, humour, looks, affection, popularity and success in just about anything she does. Many guys liked her as I did. I used to work with her and one day she told me she really liked me and that she misses me when she's away at Uni. I was so awestruck that somebody like her would feel that way about me that I couldn't speak. I ended up saying something evasive. Didn't see her for weeks after that, but I was in love with her. I stayed awake every night thinking what on earth I could say to her when the chance came. When I saw her again I didn't have the bottle to say what I wanted. Tried many times, sometimes I got interrupted, and sometimes I made a fool of myself, or said the wrong thing. I'm sure she must have known how I felt, but everytime she approached me I became so rigid and unable to express my feelings. Eventually she found someone else, and I was so ashamed of myself that I let the oppurtunity slip through my fingers. To this day I regret it, and I doubt I'll ever forgive myself for what was such stupidity. I was torn up over it for many months. I guess I learnt my lesson though. If I find somebody I love in that way again then I'll make damn sure to tell them properly, even if I have to write it down for her.

There's a few of Rob's blues. Thanks for reading, and sorry if I bored you with it. Just don't make the same mistake I did.

There is no such thing as a broken heart. All it is is hurt feelings, broken egos, shattered dreams..... but broken heart sounds sooo much more dramatic


I don't believe it if people say it --- have not once met someone that I would agree with that their heart was truly broken. Had tons of guys claim I broke theirs, but honestly there wasn't much to break. Just because they are stupid enough to think they are in love just because they want some, ... not my problem and certainly none of my sympathy.


What else did you expect from me?

Why should you be ashamed of yourself? You did nothing wrong, other than maybe reading too much into a casual expression. If she was waiting for you to say the right thing and to read her mind, surely she is no big loss, Rob. I think often guys think there is more to it then there really is. The fact that she found somebody else doesn't mean you blew it - you may have never been in the race to begin with (don't mean that in a mean way at all)


(ahhh, I am spilling over with empathy today......)

"I'm wondering why love is so strange,
if this is what I wanted then why does it ache?"

You're such a heart breaker!!!! :P


Every rose has its thorn!!!!!!!!

nah - I just happen to date a lot of those melodramatic men

OMG, Maria! That just shows you've never had one. LOL It's an excrutiating feeling and it literally centers around your heart and it DOES feel like your heart is breaking. I don't think you can realize what it is until it happens. It just HURTS. It's like all the emotions you have center up in a big ball and explode somewhere in your chest and you're not sure you can even survive because it hurts so bad. I remember vividly realizing, "This is what a broken heart is." It's not misnamed at all.

Becky

And made few melodramatic friends on the way too

And not to forget getting up in the middle of the night feeling completly trashed or suddenly from no where, just that memories of past come back hunt u big time.... I do think most of the pain due the memories of past we get time to time, its just doesn't go away.......
