Damn, is he single?

Im gonna be the asshole here. I don't agree, your heart can break, and I will die alone. That is just how it is some just never find the one

I like this guy.

Broken heart syndrome. Where enough stress including emotional, tears your heart's pumping muscles & you die. You literally can die from BH
KyleButNotThatKyle
I like this guy.
MissJane
They lost someone who cared about them a lot, & I lost someone who didn't care about me at all. Helps me to remember that.
trollhousecookies
I learned I take more than I can give due to health reasons. I'm a net negative for anyone dating. No reason to put that burden on someone.
Varckastan
That is amazing. I didn't know i needed to hear this today but i'm glad i did
Inkfinger
If rejection is a chisel for perfection I should be a fucking god by now
zFUBARz
Depends how far from perfect you started...
APassingPlasticBag
Holy fuck I needed to hear that
Exdeath5000
If I hadn't been thru bad relationships I may not have appreciated the great one I am in now and thrown it away

It also teaches you what you need in a relationship, so that you can recognize the ones that fit your needs.
Iputthebestinbestiality
Same. Also when you've hit a hard bump in the road that you'll work through together (we did couples therapy), cement it further.
InternetAnonymityplz
I didn't meet my wife until we were both 30, but we often talk about how lucky we are to have been able to meet at a time where we both knew
InternetAnonymityplz
what we wanted out of a relationship. If we'd met earlier in life, no way we would have made it. Totally worth the bad times to get here.
Hurch
Things you should have heard when you were 12.
Sascylle
Before my first heartbreak, I thought it was just a figure of speech. I remember the surprise of really feeling the pain in my chest.
Artemis27
Does it stop? I feel like this pain won't ever end.
succaz
It ends. In the meantime, It'll suck. But it ends.
TeamToasterNeverForget
I mean its nice and positive but there really is something called heartbreak.. Like I woman I knew... One of her kids killed her other kid..
Hendlton
Yeah, it all falls apart when you take death into account. What about people who truly were meant for each other and then one of them died?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's a bit different than a relationship not working out, though. That's full-on trauma.
Yeahboi11
A few weeks ago my fiance and I broke up. We were supposed to get married two days ago. Needless to say this video made my cry a little.
vanDooks
What happened?
Yeahboi11
1/ Fighting over the wedding/marriage itself. At first it was because of the cost, I was fine with a simple wedding or something more ...
Yeahboi11
2/however she was listening to her (extremely karen) mom, demanding 7 star hotels (which apparently exist) and more, I caved in and said ...
Yeahboi11
3/ ok, however we would have to delay the wedding itself by a lot, while getting religiously (Islamic) married (what would be 2 days ago)
Yeahboi11
4/ Now the real kicker was this, I'm American and she was Australian. As I was talking about delaying the actual wedding itself she was ...
MissSiesta
Yeah...I'm cursed. ?♀️ I get no no matter what
Mythmatic
I know a preacher when I see one
eastend666
I wonder what he does for a living. Wouldn't be surprised if he's some kind of therapist. Very insightful.

I don't know about wise, but it is comforting. The truth is rarely comforting.

God when you leave the perfect one bc you tell yourself "I'm not good enough for them" due to his char. dev.

Thats something an attractive person would say.

Heartbreak is real. Broken heart syndrome, caused by immense stress and grief, is an actual cardiac event.
IAmDeer
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.. my mom has had it happen 3 times. She's somewhat of a medical enigma.
malariapounder
thank you, next
forelle
The way I see it rejection either means they were not the right person for you, or you not the right person for them. And you should be [1]
forelle
very careful in deciding which one it is. If you are a good person and they were not able to respect that, search on. If you are an idiot[2]
forelle
you would use every rejection to shift the blame on the other person. If you are clever you use every rejection to grow as a person and [3]
forelle
maybe also as a lesson to avoid a certain type of person in the future, be less naive and what not. Don't ignore the lessons life teaches[4]
popejubal
I am thankful that my last girlfriend was so terrible to me. If she treated me even a little better, I wouldn’t have gotten out and now 1/
popejubal
my standards are so much higher and I’m married to an amazing woman who is a fantasy partner. 2/2
joshdabuh
I'm like that piece of art that got worked on too much and now it's ruined
circegirl
I don't love that for you but I love the comment!
joshdabuh
That's alright it's an awesome lesson regardless. I'm just tired of awful people
JaromirAzarov
Sounds like someone who never really had their heart broken. Some people are lucky to always end their relationships more or less /1
stealthredux
Agreed. She *was* my heart. If rejection is a chisel, it was used to excise my heart entirely. I can never move on, not without my One.
ParryLost
Okay but... that sounds unhealthy. That's not to criticize you or to say your emotions aren't valid, but just. That's not a good way to stay
stealthredux
I'd honestly rather be alone hereafter having spent the time I got with my literal dream girl than to "move on" and always be settling.
ParryLost
You don't have to find a new relationship if you don't want one, but that doesn't mean you can't "move on." Not that that's easy, but...
ParryLost
... That doesn't mean it's not worth trying to do.
PballQhead
I've had my heart smashed, ground to dust…and I share his attitude, to a degree at least. All of it has led me to where I am now, and while>
PballQhead
some of the path has been very, very bad I wouldn't change one iota of it. I wouldn't want it to turn out any different than it has.
JaromirAzarov
amicably, others aren't. Some people aren't that prone to heartbreak, others are. "Heart shaping", my ass... /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I've had mine broken and I agree with him. Looking back at the ones who broke my heart, we weren't a good fit. Takes time to get over /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
them and be able to see that, though. /2
Imatravelerofbothtimeandspace
I don't know if I'd be that ready to respond if I were approached on the street for my opinion on something.
MisadventurousFlapJack
I had this recently and accidentally said something that turned the interview into a political interrogation and bruh I was not prepared
CloseupCaptionReaction
That interview probably went on for a while. Getting the interviewee to relax is a small challenge. After that, magic happens.
MightyMile
You’d be surprised. I did a project asking ppl what work reward motivated them most. Everyone was wonderfully candid and well spoken.
MightyMile
Project was a comfort zone stretch for me and learning opportunity. I asked ppl I knew, then random strangers in public. Stayed with me
mediumnonstickskillet
Heartbreak for me was the realization that no matter how awesome my partner was, I still preferred being single. So unfair to them.
LiterallyAGoblin
Same! God I love bein on my own. I'm happy he's out there being happy, and I'm a lonely curmudgeon <3
LeeeB
No, you a goblin.
CloakedFigure
Like, Literally a Goblin.
LiterallyAGoblin
I even run a little Goblin Shop. But alone, cuz yeah.
CloakedFigure
Hell yeah. Etsy? Or got a link?
theonewiththefrizz
Me too! Wow. Never heard it put that way but that’s 100% true of me. And it is so unfair to them, when they loved me so much and I didn’t
Llamabuster
I really hope you mean you didn't love them as much, and not that you didn't love yourself. You love yourself, you beautiful single bastard
Richter12x2
The right person should make you better, make life better. If they don't, you haven't found the one yet.
kaoticgirl
Sometimes there is no "one" and that's fine.
iwanderedlonelyasacloud
Life is compromise if things don’t fit perfectly. Old people know this. Sometimes you have to make what you have work.
Richter12x2
It'll never be perfect, that's not what I'm saying.
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
Not everyone is like you. Don't try to push your values/personality/preferences on other people
Richter12x2
Lol, ok, pick someone that just sucks the life out of you if that's what you want.
Richter12x2
This is just proof that if you said "Hey, you shouldn't hit your balls with a rubber mallet", someone will comment "YOU DONT OWN ME"
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
No, I'm saying that not everyone needs to get married, you chud
Schmapplesauce
A good relationship is indeed more than the sum of its parts, but there are tons of people with whom this can happen, not just 'the one'.
Richter12x2
The one to settle down with, not Neo from the Matrix. Millions of people can be the one. Just make sure they're worth it to you.
JustAnInternetPerson
Not everyone is/was meant to be with another human being. There are people out there who are genuinely happier alone.
Richter12x2
That's true too. My point was more that you shouldn't settle for someone who doesn't provide value to your life. /1
Richter12x2
It's better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you wish you were.
Richter12x2
I'll add: I've been married 18 years, and I'm asocial. I still spend lots of time alone, my wife too. But when we're ready I enjoy that time
ZeroLogain
Usually not alone, just not coupled. They'll still have friends and people who love them, just not quite the same way.
ladymayo
I've just broken up with my 5yr bf, who I love dearly, but I know I need to be by myself. Still can't stop crying for how I've hurt him.
TheReptileDysfunction
Shit is tough but I'm sure you're gonna make the next man you plan to have a long term relationship with glad he ended up with you :)
IOnlyNeedOneBall
You cannot light yourself on fire just to keep others warm.
CloakedFigure
You’re going to be okay. Just remember to be kind and supportive of *yourself.* do for yourself what you’d do for a friend in the same spot.
KitchenClean
You have to do what’s right for you. I want a lat (living apart together), like a bf that you don’t live with. I love my independence.
MsladyRiver
My brother feels the same! He broke up with his gf cus she wanted marriage + baby.
KitchenClean
How long were they dating?
MsladyRiver
About three years. She was ready to stop just dating and settle, he was not.
