    I pray that those who were disrespected, insulted and compared by their partners to their friends and ex's will have a happy ending in their life. Everyone deserves to be happy.

    If you dont lose the person that is wrong for you. You will never find the one that's right for you. At 32 yrs old, I was hurting so bad after a relationship had failed. I thought it was the end of the world. 3 years later I married my wife. She is a trustworthy and great woman. Perfect for me. She loves me like I've always wanted to be, and I love her even more.. Married for 26 years now. So glad that the last relationship ended. Because I would have never found my soul mate. Move on. There is someone that was born for you. I promise.

      This gives me hope. I’m heartbroken and feel alone, but I know I can make it past this. One thing that I keep in mind is how much feelings can change over time. Time allows you to see things as they are and not through the lens of illusion. Maybe I can’t see clearly now, but everything happens for a reason and one day I will know why. I’m going to “set my heart ablaze for the flow of time waits for no one”

      I am in a same situation at 31, unfortunately that relationship still hurt me.. It’s not my fault.. It’s just she found someone else and realise I was not required anymore. I can’t get out of it and feel like there is no better in this world who can make me feel the same way… I have anxiety and panic attacks and could not let go at the moment.. don’t know what destiny is written for me

    This talk helped me let go of my ex. I believe that everything that is happening right now is the right thing even if you still can't see it. We should just accept it and believe in the power of the universe because the path that is drawn to us is the right one. You who is heartbroken and reading this comment, have faith, be strong and know that what is for you will come back even if it means crossing mountains. For the mean time, enjoy life, don't take your time for granted and gain experience for the future. You can do this. X.
    update : 2 years later, that same ex came back begging me to take him back, he's trying to include me back, as much as he can, to his life. but guess what? the universe is indeed a powerful machinery that repels exes, friends, family etc. not meant for you, faraway from you. And right now I can clearly see why. I met my soulmate and I am ecstatic. Couldn't be more relieved to know that everything truly happens for a reason.
    Please stay strong, you're gonna be surprised by what life has to offer you. Trust the process, you are in the right path!

      Yep! Is very true.
      My heart was broken for a long, long time. I clearly remember sitting at my computer and it hit me, "They don't love me for who and how I am."
      "They" being my family. The people in my life I love so dearly. But, each one wanted me to change and/or conform according to their will. To bow and bend to their feelings rather than owning my own feelings.
      So, I sat there feeling such despair, suffering and despondent and for long after. I can't say it was a waste of time since I needed time to heal. And let go.

      She is courageous, intelligent and easy-going women. But I wonder why she did not leave her BF earlier. She left him until 12 years later, which is so strange to me. I mean I could not understand why it happened too late. Woman should know by instinct whether the man truly love you within 2 to 5 years. If he does not love you, don' t care about your need of getting married, you should have dumped him and find a better guy within 5 years.

This advice sounds like its only the People responsibilities to support your inner state. It works regarding job, lover maybe, but not friends. True friendship is about support, having fun, deep dialogues, but not about showing you how valuable you are for them

Since letting him go I’ve been sooo much happier! This hyper focus hit me to wake up and to stop depending on others for happiness. I had to find my own. I even went back to college to work for my degree. Yesterday were finals and I finished all prerequisites and have straight A’s. I did in fact find the strength to move on, as well as motivation to better myself. Hopefully by this time next year I will have that degree, and be able to begin a new chapter in life.

    There comes a time when we have to realize that what we're fighting for isn't fighting back for us. So, it's time to let it go. We must learn to break free from people who continue to trifle with our feelings. Too often we try to invent ways to show them how much we care about them. Even with all our failed efforts, we still continue to try. As hard as it is, there comes a time when we have to stop caring so much about people who don't care about us.

    When she said Hector not turning up to view the house was the moment she realized she wanted to break up, it gave me nice flashbacks. Not about relationships but life in general.
    You know at the moment you realize what you want means you have to give up something, makes changes and feel alone. But then something beautiful comes from it and it’s only when you look back you realise that lonely feeling was the start of something wonderful. Take a leap of faith ❤️

    Why should this woman have thought she'd have such limited options in dating when she was 41? She's past 50 and looks fantastic and has a great personality. Women think all men are looking for 25 year old super models. They aren't. We put unreasonable expectations on ourselves (and the media doesn't help). That being said, I'm glad she found the relationship she'd been looking for and learned this along the way. Great message!

    "Let go of taking things personally" is THE advice I needed right now. My ex drunk-cheating on me is about her own issues and insecurities and not some defect in me. My conscious is clear knowing I was genuine and faithful towards her. Her not being able to live up to the same level is her problem. I am letting her go.

    This talk is so inspiring. Its been about 2 weeks since the girl who I loved, the girl I would have done anything for told me she wasn't happy with us. How she didn't like that I loved her more than she loved me. I'm heartbroken right now and very sad. As every day passes I realize that she didn't deserve me.
    I hope anyone reading that is suffering through a heartbreak realizes you are so much more. You are worthy of good things in life and you will find someone who loves you back. Take it day by day. Stay strong and most importantly don't give up, because I will not.

I don’t have to be the only one fighting for us, he never did anything and waited for me to come to him. That is over now.

    You'll never see the positive side of letting go unless you've already made it because sometimes we felt the need to be with someone to complete us but don't hold on for a relationship that is not giving you the reason to be happy because we're supposed to be with someone who will make us feel worth it because a life live with too much heartaches are a life that you will regret most in the future.

I mean I could not understand why it happened too late. Woman should know by instinct whether the man truly love you within 2 to 5 years. If he does not love you, don' t care about your need of getting married, you should have dumped him and find a better guy within 5 years.

It's a little hard but definitely necessary. One of many things I learned from my previous relationship, was that I had to decide what was more important, loosing him or loosing myself in a relationship that no longer makes me happy & fulfilled. In the end, I choose to loose him instead. I'm currently in the path of getting to know myself & loving every part of me, so that when the right one comes, he will learn to love & value me as I do.

    My ex and I went through a mutual breakup knowing that I deserve better and that “better” wasn’t him. He made the first move to leave and I am still in so much pain from it because I really had high hopes for our relationship but rather, I should feel thankful that he made the first move because if not, I would’ve stayed until I went crazy. I did deserve better, there were more days that I was sad than happy but the few days I was truly happy outweighed the days I was sad because I was blinded by love. I love him, he was good to me and is a great man, but we just weren’t meant to be together in this chapter. Maybe in the future when we’re a better version of ourselves. But if not, I at least know my time wasn’t wasted. He will always have a soft spot in my heart, but where we’re at in life. We’re just not meant to be and that’s okay. Thank you for everything ❤️ I will slowly let you go now. I love you Mason

I think the important thing is for me to spend time with as many people (good people) in my life as possible, while I still have the time. I feel like I am just not allowed to get overly attached like in the "I HAVE to see you and spend time with you every day." yeah. that's attachment, making someone your entire personality.

He has been in and out of situationships. I’m 40 and I don’t have time to waste. Someone I went on 2 dates is dating intentionally and is ready to date me and me only. I’m at a point of walking away.

    It’s been 3 months since I “let go” of the Hector in my life and I’m just now hearing this wonderful message. It’s a godsend because there are days I wonder if I made a mistake. I lost almost 4 years but I knew after less than 2 months of dating that he didn’t believe in marriage....yet I stayed. At times I tried to convince myself that maybe marriage was overrated or that maybe I really didn’t want marriage either but the longing for commitment was there....I couldn’t deny it much longer. I want a husband for life, not a BF for life. This talk reassured me that “letting go” was the right thing even though I’m hurting so much. I miss my hector so much but i need to make space and give myself the opportunity to meet my husband for life....the thought of the Universe conjuring how we are going to meet excites me🙏🏼😍☺️

      I have similar feelings about a recent breakup I experienced. Spiritual teacher Abraham Hicks says we need to keep focusing on what we desire instead of struggle with the belief that this desire can manifest. I want a deeper commitment too, and in the right time it will come. But there's great value in the odyssey of love-learning to love ourselves more and get clearer about what and who we want in our story.

    Today, I'll try to convince myself that I'm not perfect and accept the fact that I'll never be.

Her sister, whom I believe was jealous, kept telling her he didn't really love her and was never going to propose (it's now 12 years and 2 kids later). My parents dated for 10 years and got married at 24 and 25 - they've been married for 38 years.

    I have always really struggled to let go of the past. I had to learn to accept it by reflecting on my past and realizing I cannot change those things. You can learn and grow from those things and even make good out of them. If it's a moral thing, you can make amends and become a better person. If it's a failure, you learn what the mistake was and how to solve it and prevent it in the future and use the education to succeed. Whatever problem you have that you solved, you can use that to prevent those problems, protect yourself, heal, and solve it in the future.

The last 2 weeks I kept asking myself what I did wrong and what I should improve. And when I realized he was emotionally unavailable, I still wanted him back to “help” him. Now I just have to accept that he is not the one for me. He is not ready and even if the last 6 months were just amazing (especially coming from a very very abusive marriage).
