  • I'm on the other end. My high school sweetheart and I dated for 2 years and after graduation I broke up with him. I still loved him, but I thought we were headed in different directions. I was really to "grow up" and he wasn't. That was 15 years ago. This summer we found each other on Facebook...... He's had other relationships, but has never settled down, gotten married, or had children or anything. I asked him why and he spills his guts and admits that he never truly got over me. He says he could never imagine having a family with anyone else but me. He insists that he STILL LOVES ME. And to be completely honest... I do still have feelings for him. I've kept them buried all these years.... but he and I can never be together again. I am married with 3 children and I'll never walk away from that. So you see, I had hoped to find him happily married, but this is not the case. Please do not torment yourself the way my long lost love has done. Please try to move on and find happiness elsewhere. Life is too short to keep dwelling on the past. I wish you the best of luck.

  • I feel you dude! My ex did the same shit to me! It's tough to stop thinking about the happy memories we had and the hurtful stuff she said. You feel like you can't find someone like her huh? Of course you can't because you deserve someone better! Life is too short to be obsessing over a girl who no longer loves you. You just can't let go of the part of yourself that once loved her.

    Don't beat youself up. Take some time off and work on the most important relationship of your life which is the relationship with yourself.

  • why are you holding onto feelings for her when she said there is no chance of getting back together? it makes me wonder though why she couldnt tell you how she truly felt in your relationship.
    i dated a guy for a couple of years and i tried to tell him how i felt but he just wouldnt listen and it took me breaking up with him for him to finally listen so i dont know if this was the same situation as you are in.
    but either way you really need to let her go and get on with your life.

  • I had a 3 years relationship with my 1st. And i never thought id get over her, and even now if shed come back to me i wonder if i could resist. But if I know one things its that TIME is the key. TIME.......... And + I'm with a super awsome girl right now and id never leave her. My ex didn't exactly treat me right, not that she cheated on me or anything that harsh but she never realy respected who i was. Just mourn and let time pass and move the F on. Look at other girls, damn their hot aren't they?

  • Haha, just like me. Only that you weren't delusional, hopefully not. Don't feel bad, if things CANT work out; there's plenty of others to look forward to.

    Just to clarify, mine was one sided, while I was being delusional on believing she was interested. It's over now, and I'll be busy rocking with my guitar
