ive lost her

I just broke up with my girlfriend of more than 2 and a half years. Does this hurt ever go away?

Yes, but it takes twice as long as you were with the person. So I estimate a solid 5 years of slight hurt. It won't always be bad though. You can get through it! I believe in you!Notsogr8one

thanks man

Yes it does. Time has a way a mending most wounds, especially broken hearts. Over time it will hurt less with each passing day. In some way it's a good thing, in other ways bad that somone who is once so precious to us becomes nothing but a distant memory with the passing of time.

:shock: What?!? Sorry, but if you are still mourning the loss of a girlfriend you've had for two and a half years, 5 years later, you need to speak to a professional because that isn't healthy.

IMO, you'll miss her greatly for the first couple months and be back in the saddle within 6 months. While it may sound cold, moving on with your life and staying busy will help you the most.

I guess it's just because I broke up with a few girlfriends before and I felt great after having done so, so I just got thrown off by him being the one that did the breaking up and he's the one upset over it. Now when I was in high school and my girlfriend broke up with me it was the end of the world at the time :P Well I guess that'll answer the OP's question, as far as in my experience the pain goes away, I feel great.

Very true. I've said that to my wife that if we would fall out of love with each other we would be able to move on in a few years (we've been together for 11 years), but that if something happened to her I would never marry. I just couldn't see myself doing it. We're best friends and have been through a lot together.

I guess that by the "broke up" you mean that she dumped you, right? If yes then I honestly don't know:P

There's very few things we don't talk about. If I remember correctly that conversation was around the time her brother was getting a divorce. Also, as parents we've had to discuss who would raise our daughter is something happened to both of us.

Why did you break up? The reason behind it can be pretty important in how you feel about the whole thing. :)Ninja-Hippo

This pain will increase, torture, kill your soul and mind, and when you can't take anymore, it gets worse. When you can't go any deeper, you suddenly stop feeling. And then, only then, pain stops and you can recover :)

lol, they're awesome. I love my daughter more than anything and she cracks me up. The other day she wanted to have her friend come over so she could show her the great graphics of her dvd player (she's 6). I couldn't stop laughing, I guess she picked it up from my showing friends blu ray. And she's a pretty good singer as a back up vocalist in Rock Band. :)

you cant make a relatioship work without full trust.liqu1d_couRAGE

Why did you break up with her if you love her?

And if you truely love her, it may go away but its not going to be any time soon. You feel empty and you just want everything to end or get her back... I know, it feels horrible. Feel like breaking down into tears at even the smallest thought of her. Get back together with her. Best thing I ever did

Its funny when you wake up one day and realise you feel nothing towards that person anymore and you wonder how mouring for a lost love can fade to nothingness.

Best thing to do is give it a few months then get back in the game

it was kind of a mutual break up. We had been falling apart for the past few months and we tried time and time again to fix it but we couldnt so we decided to let go. I know it was for the best but it still hurts. she was 21 and im 27 I guess we were too far apart in our lives together. We had some trust issues too and you cant make a relatioship work without full trust.liqu1d_couRAGE

Dude you're 27? I thought from the original post this was gonna be like a junior high or high school break-up story, sure you may be hurting and it sucks, but at some point you gotta suck it up and get back in the game. No sense in feeling sorry for yourself, doesn't do any good, the sooner you move on the better off you'll be. I mean 2 1/2 years you're not just going to up and forget quickly, but if you just sit there and dwell on it it'll just make it worse. Get out and preoccupy yourself with something, anything, a hobby, a game, another girl maybe? Just don't sit around beating yourself up about it.
