Comfort For A Much Loved Person

--by LIVID, posted Dec 8, 2007

Some months ago I went through a breakup of a long term relationship. It was not my decision but hers. I have felt very sad and deppressed about this situation and have on more than one occassion asked if the relationship can be resumed. I feel angry at times that I am alone again and at times also bitter towards my ex partner. Last week we had some dialogue which was not pleasant and it led to me making some remarks that on reflection I should not have.

My ex partner was greatly affected by my comments and the guilt she was carrying over the split. I got a message the other night that she was considering harming herself. I phoned but no answer, again, no answer. I jumped in the car and drove to her house. What I found was this normally strong woman crying uncontrollably and in a terrible state.

After about an hour she calmed down and we talked. We actually were able to talk about our relationship, why she ended it and how she felt. I in turn shared my thoughts and gave an honest appraisal of how I felt. What we actually achieved was what needed to be said. I am still sad about our split but pleased I was able to comfort her at a time when she was feeling so very low. I will always be there for her and always love her even if it is not reciprocated.

I was pleased to be offered the opportunity to show her my support.

I think you acted courageouslly, it is not easy when a break up occours, and bitterness can often tear a person apart. So well done for showing such genuine care for her

It sounds like you said things you may have kept bottled up when you were together and she was shocked and hurt. You showed her that you are not holding a grudge by going to her in a time of need. You will find someone who loves you back someday and that's what we all deserve...to love and be loved. ~Aurelia

i know the road your traveling!
I dated my boyfriend for 6 years....and my life was covered in love for him. Its been 2 1/2 years. and I swore off men. took a route of travel instead. I still, STILL think of him. Someone said to me that Ill always love my first love...I hated that at the time because im a very strong person and never thought something could have such a hold on me. Now, eventhough i think of him....I am just glad i had that kind of opportunity in my life.
Chin up darling.
everythings okay in the end,
if its not okay, its not the end!!!
if you need anything! smiles are never afraid of travelling miles..im willing to be your ear!
