Is it normal for me to be this heartbroken?

85% Normal
8 Comments

My girlfriend broke up with me about a week ago, she said that "there was no spark". I was told that she left me for another guy, who came back into her life a few days beforehand. She acted way different since he came back. A few days ago she talked to me about why she broke up with me, saying "there was a lot of spark, I like you a lot. I just got too attached and was nervous about you and scared that you'd cheat on me with people you obviously like other than me."

She was my only, and it would have stayed that way. I'm not one to cheat, and I really would've thought she'd know that.

Is it normal to be really, really heartbroken after losing her? We only dated for a month...

    As you get older you learn to be wary about how much emotion you invest and where you invest it. You also learn not to flatter yourself about your abilities to control the consequences.
    I don't doubt the conviction of your emotions but I'd caution you not to move too far to fast in the future.

    To be honest, it sounds like an excuse to absolve herself of blame. I think you have to accept it's over and now start thinking about trying to get over this. Although it doesn't help right now, in a year's time, you'll feel totally different about this.

    Not a relationship management website go submit this story to a site that actualy deals about those things not a website that has nothing to do with it.

        type of quenstion that actualy sounds like the person doesnt know if its normal or not, something that isnt easy to know if its normal or not. These people keep submitting stories that are obviously normal if they can not realise how normal there stories are then i pity them.

          Yeah, I know. If we were all following the title of the site strictly, then I'd agree with you. But life doesn't fit into neat boxes so why should we enforce this kind of parcelling anywhere else? The OP is obviously hurting, it may perhaps have helped him to type it out here, a site he is familiar with, and you have no obligation whatsoever to read it. Who is really harmed?

          I don't want to live in a world (or interact with a website) where every situation is documented and has strict procedural constraints. People have feelings. We're not assembly-line robots.
