Q: I Dont Think My Heart Will Ever Heal Help!!!!
asked by: kezia333 on February 27th, 2006

I am getting ready to turn eighteen years old. Almost two years ago I meet this guy through friends and we started dating the beginning of spetember 04'. Everything was perfect with us, we spent all out time together, we had fun, we were like best friends as well as boyfriend and girlfriend. He even bought me an engagment ring that I never got. Any way, the beginning of last year we started fighting a lot ver stupid crap for no reason. He wasn't an angel but I do admit that I started to take him for granted and forgot all about why we were together at all, which was because we were in love. For me and him we were each others first love. He called one day out of the blue and broke up with me because he said we were fighting too much and we needed time apart. I took it so hard that I had to be rushed to the emergency room because I overdosed on pills and about died. I moved out of my dads house in with my mom and would not get out of bed for almost 3 months. I was miserable.

Anyway I started coming back around and trying to hang out with friends some this past july and I was doing ok, although I missed him a lot. This past september me and him started talking again and in october we started dating again. I was so happy and I was determined to do things better this time. We only dated about a month and a half when he hold me to go to his house one day and when I got there he told me we needed to talk. He said that he still loves me with all his heart but it flet different betwenn us this time and that he had so much goin on now that it wasnt going to work.

I knew god was with me that day because I didn't even cry although I could feel my heart breaking all over again. I agreed with him about thigs feeling different, I mean I know no matter what happens with me and him things will never be the same as it was in the beginning.

Anyway, I stopped calling him and stuff, but he still calls me and we talk and still see each other at least once every week or two. And everytime we spend time together we act like were dating. But what I have no told him is that it is killing me not to be his girlfriend. I love him with everything inside of me. I miss him so much, I don't even think about any other guy. Everytime a guy asks me out I say no because it ain't him. He does not have another girlfriend, he says he wont be ready for that for a long time. But everyday I cry and miss him, and I can't see myself with someone else. It's like something is telling me to not let go. I just don't know what to do anymore, it is literally starting to kill me. My appetite has changed, I stay stressed out and I don't know how to fix this. Please help!!!

I think you need to stop spending time with him. Seriously. You're letting him call the shots here, and he's just going to continue to do so as long as you go along with it.

You say that every time you're together, you act like you're dating. Well, he's getting the perks of a girlfriend without the commitment when you do that. I'm not saying he's a jerk or he's out to break your heart... I don't know the guy. But the best thing you can do for yourself is stop torturing yourself by being around him. And tell him that. Tell him that you want to be with him, that you love him (everything you feel about him). Tell him you understand if he can't be in a relationship right now but that it's too hard for you to be with him and he needs to understand that you have to have your space away from him now. Not forever. Just until you can better handle it.

The more you spend time with him, the more you're going to think about how much you want to be his girlfriend. The expression, "time heals all wounds" is not a lie. Trust me.

Trust me I have thought about telling him to stop calling and let me have my space. It's just everytime I want too I chicken out because im not strong enough to do that right now, if I was then I would be fine, but it has a lot to do with the place I live as well. I mean it's a small town, everyone gets in your business and either way I am going to have to see him when I am out.

Not that i'm ancient at 27, but when your young, you tend to love so intensely and so passionately that when your heart gets truly broken for the first time it feels like the end of the world. Trust me it isn't! Women tend to mourn relationships in order to move on - for your own sanity distance yourself from this guy, tell him so. If he doesn't listen take it as a con against his character (pros and cons) you think about him all the time and probley mostly the good times together - there must have been a reason for all the fighting - and no not all your fault - remember those reasons, it will help with the staying away from him thing. All the energy your putting into him in thinking, seeing etc... Could be best used elsewhere. Just breath, redirect that energy into you ... Hobbies, whatever else it is you do. There really are more guys out there, don't let this experience put you off. Talk to someone, counseling, somebody.
And please know I want you to live.

I agree with nyla. I remember how hard it was for me to break up with my first love. It actually took 2 years of on again/off again for me to muster up the courage to cut the ties for good. I would have been a lot better off just calling a spade a spade and ending it when I knew it was over, because we both suffered from hanging on. As hard as it is to imagine, you will love again...And even more intensely than you do now. But, that can't happen if you are investing all your energy into a relationship or the hope of a relationship with a guy that you know isn't right for you. Be honest with yourself, be honest with him, you will both be better off for it.

The more you spend time with him and while its gd your going to want to spend more time unless something is going to happen for definate you need to get over him and move on with your life find something you want to achieve and go and go until you have done that maybe spend sometime in a different part of the country completely splitting yourself from him because if he was a drug then u'd be an addict

Just thought that I would let yall know that I did tell him the other night how I felt, and told him I couldn't take it anymore and I have not talked to him since because he got pretty upset about it so I don't know what his deal is but like I said I have not talked to him for about four days, and I am feeling a little better. Thank you all for all your help.

Please, do not jump for him when he calls. Just take a time out from him and see others, this will help you to deccide, just do not go out and be on the rebound with these other guys.
Good luck to you!
Keep us posted,

I am trying so hard not to be weak right now. He started calling me again and all that but I am trying to distance myself from him as much as possible and avoiding him as much as possible. Thanks for all the advice, it helps. I don't know what will end of this but I do know it is about to wear me down.

Kezia... Listen to my words... Walk away. Now...Why? Its simple kezia.. Hes bad for you.. If someyone is bad for you walk away! Please listen to me because I know how it is and I went too far in it myself but I did learn from it!. Eventually it will break you. Walk away now!! It will hurt for a few weeks but you need to let him go. If someyone is bad for you then there not ment for you. Accept the fact that its never ganna work. Thats how life works. Its hard I know but in time you will feel a lot better once this person is out of your life! He doesn,t deserve you. You should be with the person how is good for you. Your only making it longer to meet the one who is good for you if you keep diong this too yourself. Walk away <- take this advice its important.

re: break it off
Hi. Reading your orginal post, I felt like I was reading my life story. I'm 40 now. I met my husband when I was 14, he was 17. Same as you, it was off/on again. I just had to be with him, I couldn't imagine my life with him. Now we have 3 kids, we've been separated once, and we argue constantly infront of our beautiful children. I gave up so much for him, and didn't finish college or anything, and now am totally dependant on him, and we don't even love each other. Get out now and stay strong. Get busy and be proud of yourself. You can do it. Don't wait till you're 40.

These things are difficult
I agree with the other posts here that breaking it off for good is the best for you. It's very difficult to manage anyway. Keeping the person around only extends the heartache because you want something that is not available. I think relationships like these definitely have an addictive quality. You want to share all this love, and it's not possible. You keep holding on for acceptance.

I'm sure you'll be strong. I know something of what you're going through. It hurts! Accomplishing goals can help get you going again. Meet some other boys!

Good Luck!
