I Wasted My Time On Someone

Actually, for a fact, a break up (particularly a divorce) has a greater, more painful emotional impact than the dead of a loved one... If a loved one dies, we at least can take comfort in the memories, or even hope that we'll met that person again in Heaven or something... Yet, with a break up, we must deal with the rejection/betrayal of the person we loved, so it's much more painful than the death of a loved one.
I heard this from a psychologist, a professional counselor, so it's not "my theory", I understand it's a scientific fact...

And then you look back and you realize they were actually treating you like that all along, you just didn't realize it at the time.

It’s not that you don’t matter that’s your ego talking it because you weren’t compatible with each other/for one another. REAL love will happen when you least expect it to.

To me it's a more different pain losing someone that just decides to walk away as there's never closure to the reason.
Nonetheless, sorry for your hurt

Sorry to hear that. You can always make a new connection

i can attest both suck so very much, and in a bad/sad/horrible way, death has more closure, when they just walk away you are not only haunted by memories, you are haunted by the walking shell of the person you use to know. close enough to touch but it somehow still doesn't matter

You know G/G all that pain is a learning curve ,sure its heart wrenching ,but it will serve you well the next time around ,cos you may not feel it now ,but trust me its coming again , you will smile to yourself just knowing you got this happy hols G/G english

I’ve been dealing with the same issue the past two years

well, i'm watching a loved one die and i believe in my soul that's harder.
