    Nooo..you don’t give up!

    It happens to all of us..

    We’re in wonderful relationships, but we outgrow one another.
    We love somebody; it hurts like hell, but they don’t feel the same way.
    We fall in love.. it just doesn’t work out… nobody’s fault.
    We fall in love…it just doesn’t work out…it IS somebody’s fault.
    We fall in love, but painfully realize that they’re not ‘the one’.
    We fall in love, but our partner painfully realizes that we’re not ‘the one’.

    Life is a learning experience. Cherish each relationship, whether good or not so good. If you were most definitely the direct cause of a break up…work on changing your behavior… don’t beat yourself up. Be grateful that the relationship brought this issue to your attention; hopefully, then, you won’t be repeating the same mistake over and over again; or attracting the same type of person, over and over again.

    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. – Albert Einstein

    Don’t continuously question yourself…”what went wrong…was it me or her?” and “what could I have done differently?” or “If that hadn’t of happened, we would still be together?”

    No matter how much time we spend wearing ourselves out and replaying it in our mind; nothing changes the fact that it sadly didn’t work out. If a relationship is worth saving, meant to be, and can be mended..wonderful. But both have to put in the effort… not just one of you.

    Stay out there and enjoy your life.. NEVER go out there and ‘look’ for love; but allow yourself to be open and available to relationships that seem the right ‘fit’.

    You’re not abnormal or unique, helpinghand…. the right one just hasn’t come along yet.. hang in there and she will.

    ‘Tis better to have loved and lost… than never to have loved at all. – Tennyson.

    Kayyli,

    Sweetie…I could totally relate to everything you said, and may I say, you expressed yourself brilliantly.

    Please stop questioning yourself as to why you allowed the abuse… you never allowed yourself to be abused; who would do such a thing?
    Kayyli, you were brainwashed to believe you deserved it… Age is not a factor.

    I had a therapist who was upfront and honest with me…
    “There isn’t ANY cure and the pain never really goes away, but it does diminish greatly through a type of self-help therapy called Radical Acceptance–DBT.” It was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Please look her up.. she herself has BPD.

    Radical Acceptance/DBT develops skills to completely and totally ‘accept’ something from the depths of your heart your soul, and by not fighting reality. When you stop questioning and fighting your past, you suffer less.

    It’s difficult at first, but if you keep up the daily coping skills; it gets easier with each passing day.

    It works…
