      It's a mistake to any of them exes to take them back after their caves were ravaged and now they want something stable without them putting any effort into your evolution but rather causing hear hurts. That's why pair-bonding is done by stable mature men with other working decent women who aren't inconsiderate and indecisive because they want to exploit the market. Low misery people don't belong with consciouss people. They know what they choose and why they choose it, their intent is to profit to maximum and work the minimum. Say no to leeches narcissists exploiters! They come back usually with problems and dramas because their character didn't give them good results.

We got into a disagreement and whilst both parties apologized for what happened, she said she wants to be on her own for the time being. I told her her that I respected the decision and walked away. If things are meant to be she will come back, if not there’s a better Queen out there. Keep your heads up brothers.

      @@MbispingFan nah man don’t feel bad about it. From a strictly spiritual outlook the whole experience is a huge catalyst for you to learn from. The lesson here is that there is no judgement in someone making a mistake and there is no judgement when someone you had expectations of doesn’t align with your path. Going into it you judged her for being a piece of shit. And on the level of the mind that could very well be true. But that’s not the level where spiritual growth is inhabited, and it ultimately brought you down to her level. Look deeper within yourself and see where you felt you were lacking because something external from you was seemingly lost. That is ultimately the root of all negative experiences you’ll ever have, is the inherent belief in the mind that I am lacking. I am lacking love, I am lacking character, I am lacking humility, I am lacking stature that will impress and keep a woman and keep her loyal. It is BECAUSE I am lacking that she didn’t love me. It goes on and on and none of it is true ultimately. Your conceptual sense of self may have felt damaged but your essence, your being, who you truly are deeper than the level of the mind is wholly complete and perfect and wants nothing from another except THEIR highest good. All of these negative experiences that are strongly emotionally charged are catalysts that can be used for you to retreat from the nonsense of the mind and move deeper into your being where you want nothing and need nothing from other people. This is true love and it feels good. Recognize it is not a reflection on YOU if she didn’t treat you right or love you properly. It is a reflection on her. And the mind will have you think it is a reflection of you, in doing so your mind made sense of self feels diminished and has NO CHOICE but to defend itself and attack back. There is no humility in feeling guilty for something ultimately YOU did not do. It’s simple programming in the mind meeting stimulus like the toppling of a domino falling down and taking credit for knocking over the next one even though it was a simple chain reaction of the last 50 dominos. It was an unconscious reaction not rooted in love, which FEELS bad, FEELS like guilt and depression and manifests as anxiety and anger and it feels this way because it is not true to who you are on the deepest level. That’s why Love feels so good because something inside of you resonates with it like the two prongs of a tuning fork. This may not be what you needed to hear but it’s what naturally flowed from me when I saw your pain. This world is so full of hatred and condemnation but it doesn’t have to be. Love her not by accepting her actions as justifiable. But by understanding “she knows not what she’s doing” as Jesus said. She’s acting from a spiritually defined unconscious mind rooted basis of being. And there is no judgement in that. Love her by letting her go in the least judgmental way you know possible. She just wasn’t the one for you, and wish her the best and move on ❤️

    I was once advised to not react from the heart when something crappy happens in a relationship
    If you are in a cafe or a bar situation and your girlfriend turns to you and says she thinks that things aren't working out and says she wants to end things..... don't get all teary eyed and start to plead your case...... just say " oh ok" and don't let her see what you really feel...... she is counting on being in control and fully expects you to be heartbroken........
    He was totally right because if it is over you have denied her the dominant position and she will start to doubt herself and find you to be stronger than she thought...
    If it's over its over but if she has doubts later your position is much better if she comes back......

      In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. He created humans too to have a relationship with Him. That's our purpose as humans that have a relationship with God. Sin, however, messed that up because it made us imperfect and imperfect creatures cannot have a relationship with a perfect and holy God. That's why we so oftentimes feel empty, unsatisfied and unaccomplished because we're not in relationship with the God we were created to be in a relationship with. But that's where Jesus comes in. Jesus is God's son and He came down to earth in human form to live the same life we do yet unlike us He never sinned. Jesus is perfect. Yet despite the fact He is perfect He died on the cross for our sins and sacrifice Himself for us. The punishment for our sins is death but because Jesus took that punishment for us if we put our faith in Him and receive Him as Lord and savior we can be reconciled to God and be restored to that relationship we were created to have. And we can be sure that Jesus is the Son of God because on the 3rd day God raised Him from the dead and in that He defeated death and the grave, proving that He can do the same for us if we put our faith in trust in Him. That's how you get to Heaven. That's how you become full in your heart. That's how you become reconciled to the God who created you.

      It's worse then telling someone all their flaws. It's telling them their nothing, insignificant, not deserving of the slightest human respect.
      The inhumane nature of it blows my mind. I actually feel like theirs a shade of evilness to it. Like theirs a perverse joy they get out of the person not knowing. That texting "this isn't working out. Im going to stop contact. Bye" is to fast. That being abrupt or dismissive is not enough. That the real pleasure comes 2-3 weeks later when they are sitting in bed smiling at the fact that the person may still be wondering if it's really over. Convincing themselves that they are worthy of all this "pining" and "attention" whether if it's happening or not.
      Hoping, praying that they get a text from them a month later attempting some kind of closure "Ok, I guess that's it. Good Luck" confirming that it really was happening. The torment of another. Proving that they really are a gift from god. Or someone else.

I begged him to talk to me so we could work things out, but he didn't want to. After 2 months of this, I started to focus on improving myself and nothing else. I stopped replying to him - it drove him crazy and he started trying harder to get my attention again. About 2 months later, he broke down and said he would do anything to be with me again.

    I thought i would never be able to heal from it. Really thought and believed she was the one. Nothing harder in life than the feeling of betrayal. Gut wrenching.. but things do get better. You will have to get better. Do something new

    This man with his continued reading and life experience with age is a wellspring of wisdom. Explaining the onslaught of emotions with heartbreak becoming strong tsunami’s to gentle waves to the eventual Placid Lake is spot on.. “ this too shall pass.”

    It's hard to walk away from someone you loved hard and saw a future with. I can't seem to get over her even though she's gone for good, she's having fun and I'm left in the dust. Yeah I guess she didn't want it, but it hurts to know it.

    Don’t look back has been my motto lately. There’s no chance of the guy I was dating and I to mend things - he totally betrayed my trust & we just weren’t a good match anyways. I don’t even feel sad because I see that it was all a lie, there was never anything real on his side. I personally just struggle with the resentment and replaying the last moments in my head & wishing I said this, wishing I said that, etc… wanting him to see that I’m better than him etc. I want to just “don’t look back” and forget about him completely

      Yes, it's a bit of a different story if you have kids, are engaged/married or she's lived with you for a long time. Each case is different so you have to be a bit selfish and work out what is best for you in the long run.
      It's your life, and a short one at that, so try and look at the big picture and decide what's best for you and your loved ones. It's not easy, I know.

    Beautifully said. I'm actually going through a break up right now and the emotions are going through the roof. It's even worse when the person you have so much love for sees you and just completely ghosted you.😢Now that's a really tough challenge to bypass. I still wish her well and I know God has better plans heading my way. 🙏
