I'm new to PC and posted in the new members forum but I wanted to see if I could get more imput on this. I was dating a guy for a few months and I knew he didn't love me but I stayed because I loved him and I thought he just needed time and things would change. Last week he calls me to tell me it's over he's found someone else. How I manage when he's happy with his new "love" and I'm lonely and depressed? I'm just crushed and devistated. Has anyone ever experienced being left for someone else? How do you cope or how would you?

Welcome to PC!

Love has its way of turning time upside down and being lost in it...time also has a way of moving on...I'm not sure what a few months mean...lets assume 3 months...in many cases it takes two people who are committed much longer to really get by the first impressions and move into a deep feeling of love. So you got lost in time. The beginning stuff is pretty much at the surface. When you have only one person from the relationship, yes you can love them on the surface and gradually move into a deeper love for them, but if it is not reciprocated there really is no way to together get into this deeper love to build a relationship.

So as much as it hurts now...time will move you on...know that to develop a deeper committed kind of love it has to be two ways...accept this as a crush...and when you have grieved you will be ready and have more experience

i'm so sorry to hear about that. i know how you feel. but it happened for a reason. and you are too good to love a jerk that will 1) not love you back, 2) leave you for another woman.

fate will bring you a man 100000x better.

stay strong
