I posted something last month, but things haven't gotten better for me. I had a longtime girlfriend who I loved more than anything. I was going to propose to her, but then she left me. She left me. I thought I could get over this, but I don't think I can. Every day for me is a struggle. I want to die more than anything, but I can't commit suicide because of what it would do to my family and the fact I don't know what is on the other side. I'm so lonely, and it seems like nobody outside my family can ever love me. I did everything for her. I did everything I could for her. But I still wasn't good enough. This wasn't a bubble gum highschool relationship. I thought this was it. But she left me. I don't know how I can even meet anyone else. My life is in such a sad state right now, I'm just sick of dealing with it. I don't know what kind of advice I'm looking for, I just feel like there's nothing left for me to look forward to anymore. Everything I had is now gone.

Hi Looking -
I'm sorry things are so sad for you right now. Can you take it as a sign that this relationship wasn't the right relationship? It's hard when you have put a lot into a relationship, and it hasn't worked out. I had this happen to me with an adoptive child I tried to help. Actually, it is heart breaking. I'm still dealing with my sorrow after four years. I'm sorry for the pain you are experiencing. EJ |

I don't know why it has to be that love seems to come part and parcel with pain. As I've gotten older, and hopefully wiser, my faith reminds me that those who have been "taken out of the picture" so to say....down the road I see a long-term relationship with them would have been a disaster! But sometimes it takes years to discover that nad that is where faith and patience comes in. I was engaged 5 months to a man last year that I had only known for 6 months. Not only was that stupid but after I broke the engagement and the "real him" surfaced, I was literally horrified! Not that any of this is healing your current pain, but with relationships I KNOW they will get better. Wishing you peace during this time... __________________

I had a few relationships where I felt the same way you do. For awhile everything seemed so hopeless. But in time things got better. I was also the type who did EVERYTHING possible for the person. That didn't help. I've been told that doing everything pushes them away in a sense. I don't know how that could be. I gave them everything I had...who couldn't want that, right?
Please know that you are NOT alone. I have been through this, and I'm sure many people have also. Healing takes time. Some people take longer than others. I'm one of those who take a little longer than most people to heal from things. It took me like 2 years to get over one of my serious relationships. It was really hard. At first, I didn't want to even breathe another breath without my mate. But as time went on it got a little easier to do that.
