Ever experienced heartbreak?

A few years back was the first time I ever experienced it, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. It's something that I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. So my question to you GameSpot is - have you ever experienced it?

You have to experience love to experience heartbreak, and I am a very lonely person.

Yeah its bad – the worst I've ever felt. I came out the other side a different person: more cautious, more aware or my own fragility, sadly perhaps a little more cynical.

Yes, about two years ago.
Shattered instantly =o
Twice

Oddly enough, I still love the same person. Says how powerful my love is, or how foolish I am. You choose.

I dont really want to talk about it anymore.. considering shes my best and closest friend, the memory is still pretty imprinted

Anyways, real quick, the first time was when she chose a really outgoing guy for a long distance relationship over me, even though she constantly told me that she wasnt ready for a relationship, let alone a long distance one. In the end someone wasnt ready though because it crashed and burned.. Guess who was there every step of the way though, even going as far as forcing himself to befriend the guy she 'loved?' ..
.. .
I forgive her for that one though, she needed someone, and wasnt good enough. How could I blame her?

Second time was when she told me that she didnt share my feelings, and basically let me know that we couldnt be together like I wanted..
Of course I couldnt possibly hold that against her either, what she feels is what she feels, and atleast she fell in love with a really cool girl ^^

Yep, it's a terrible state of mind to be in. I came out of it a much stronger, careful person :)BohemianAndy

I can relate somewhat to this story.

That song is a lie. "tis better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all" is a much more accurate quote. And yeah, I've had my heart broken twice. Once I when I got dumped by a girl that I really really liked and a few months ago when I got dream crushed by my best friend (being in love with your best friend can get really awkward. Especially since she knows it)

It's odd that only one of my relationships has ended with me really hurt. When my girlfriend of nearly three and a half years broke up with me it was just like I'm not really in love with this girl any more anyway.

You betcha. I'm very glad I've since gotten past the point where I felt that I absolutely had to be with a girl to be happy. :P

I sure have... it's not fun.

I do not really know. I put up with acid reflux, and I can handle that. I assume heartbreak isn't much worse.clayron

I don't think I felt true heartbreak but had the ping of early relationship break ups (months), never really made it further. And I got stood up the other night. Twas fun.

Yes a few times and in the end it nearly killed me.

Eventually I just got my body moving around and now I just mechanically set about living my life foolishly waiting for change that will never happen.

On the plus side I can keep my own hours with only the cat to judge my comings and goings.

The girl who I have been friends with all my life broke my heart. It is the worst feeling in the world, it hurts so much. I am sorry to hear and I have sympathy for those who go through heartbreak.

I went through a really bad breakup that sent me over the edge. In the end I grew up :)

As much as I miss it I realized there was no use obsessing over what once was. Sure I was the happiest I've been all my life, but the whole relationship was a physical manifestation of the final months of my carefree, youthful high school life. We started dating halfway through my senior year of high school, went a few months leading an incredibly fun, incredibly passionate and quite amazing relationship, then after the summer was over I moved about 30 miles away, was starting college, and life in general was changing a great deal. We fought a lot, broke up, I made some bad decisions, and threw away over a year of my life obsessing over losing her and everything we had. It was only a few months ago I just woke up one day and no longer cared. I had accepted that life isn't like it was in my senior year; it sucks and sucky stuff will always happen. Once I learned to live more independently I was able to go five minutes without feeling regret or remorse.

Breakups can do that to you. Sure they suck, but you really come out stronger in the end.

I didn't mean for this to be so long but I guess I had a lot to say lol.

I think there are different kinds of heartbreak and I think I've experienced my own kind. Still haven't gotten over it but slowly it lessens. I try to move past it and work out my issues, and it's working, but sometimes... I don't do so well. It's the worst thing.

You betcha. I'm very glad I've since gotten past the point where I felt that I absolutely had to be with a girl to be happy. :P

I got past that point for about a year. (Three months of which I was dating my last girlfriend lol) but about two months ago I started really wanting a girlfriend again. This is a real problem because I have already dated or hooked up with all of the girls that I would want to date around here (I have annoyingly high standards that I can't bring myself to lower, and I'm not talking looks) I really should move lol.

yeah, this last time has turned me very bitter words love and what it really is. I haven't dated since then.

Yeah, its def not the greatest feeling out there. Took me months to get over it, but it helped me realized im actually happy being single. It still sucks when a random thought comes out of nowhere and reminds me of that person. I avoid people that might remind me of her and i cut any sort of communication i had with her as soon as i could. Prob the smartest thing i could have done, and now im a very happy guy.

I've had my heart broken once, wasn't by a person, it was when I had to have my dog put down. She was my best friend and I loved her more than anything, worst day of my life.

Nope, good thing to it would ruin my no crying streak. 8 years without a single tear. Me and my friends are having a bet.

I am sure most of off topic has experienced some heartbreak.

yeah, about three times!since the last time I closed my hearth for any relations :(
