Just as the title says. Did you ever had a teenage/high school and a little bit through college romance? How long did it take you to get over it?

3x

 

The first was just due to growing up and apart as will happen in life. I had too many things I had to do for myself and things were crazy for me. I was his first GF and he lived a Beaver Cleaver life. I had to let him go while I sorted my stuff out. By the time I did, he'd met someone else. Still friendly with him and his family tho. It took about a year to stop stinging. And then another of knowing him just as a friend to see we wouldn't have been good together anyway.

 

Second was my ex husband. Much easier to get over a heart break when it happens in the middle of the relationship and the rest of the time is pure hell. You're over it by the time the relationship dies. I don't even remember what I loved about him now.

 

Third? Mr. Nothing has got a lot to say. He's good at being what he's not and gives nothing away. A few months of being hurt over it and when he came crawling back I saw everything he didn't want me to see when we met. The pain died immediately because I knew who I loved didn't exist in him.

 

One of the differences in the getting over it when its a HS/college relationship is love is new to you. You will probably love someone else more later, once you know more about what love means. And this comparison will just make the HS/college love you felt seem thin, less weighty and more bittersweet rather than gut wrenching.

only 1 time. That was my ex. I'm sure it won't be the last one either.

A couple of times in my teen age years. Can't remember the pain. But this is the one that has totally ripped my heart out...........

a few times, i think 4. its funny now that i am thinking about it, how heart borken i was feeling with the last one, but so did i with the one before that, and the one before that and the one before that, but yet i dont remember it anymore. i just remember some one being an a- hole. i think that just proves that if you are going thru heartbreak, it wont last forever. you will get over it. it just takes time.

Only once, and I hope never again...but I hope for the opportunity. I'll never find love again unless I risk breaking it.

This is the 4th for me. Each time feels just like the 1st time.

just once..and like Anxiety, i just hope never again..

3 times...by the same person....lol

Although, perhaps i'd say 4 times as i'm sure part of my heart broke when my grandmother died. Also when my rabbit died, I was 6? I was so hysterical and distraught i'm sure to my 6 year old self that was a heartbreak *nods*

Twice for real. Had some bumps before and after the first one but nothing I didnt get over in a month or two.

 

Once at 24 and once at 35.

Well I've been hurt and rejected so many times I actually divided them into sections. I have girls who *wounded* my heart, and I got girls who have out right *broken* my heart. Wounds are minor and heal quickly, and I've had several of those. In terms of being out right heartbroken, it's happened only about 4 times. Twice as a teen, twice as an adult.

Just once for realz...with the ex...

i've loved 4 women and all 4 have broken my heart.

Posted

Three times. And each time was worse than the one before it.

Posted

Six times that I can recall. Every time it felt worse than the time before when I was in the moment.

 

Only two of those times was with adult relationships. To be honest it feels worse in your 20's and I'll bet once in my 30's heartbreak will feel even worse.

 

The way I look at it now, heart break is needed for moving on. Only something so painful could cut the ties that bind.
