i love her, but at this point, i love myself more, but f.....its hard, i miss her so much, at night, i feel tempted to call her, just to see hows she doing. Sadly as much as i would like to be civil w her, its impossible, cuz as soon as i start being kind, she takes advantage, i love my daughter, but as soon as i was being "cool" w my ex, everyday she was like can u take care of her for this and that, she was probably out partying, and i was at home watching our daughter.

I had to leave my fiance of 7 years, although we had been together for 10 because I found out he had been cheating on me during our whole relationship. He cheated on me with our friends, my friends, his old girlfriends, people we hung out with. When I met him I knew I had found my soul mate and true love - we had a great life until I found this out. When confronted he said he needed variety and excitement so why did he ask me to marry him then if he knew he was this way. He has been sober for 27 years and big into AA but I was told that once they give up one addiction they take on another. He is addicted to porn and subjected my daughter to it. He loves taking pictures of himself and sending them over his phone to his women friends. He travelled alot on business and had contacts in every state. He even used his companies computer and cell phone to set up meetings with customers plus friends of mine. He even started soliciting sex around the area we live in. We had it all big house, money, all the toys and he thought he could have his cake and eat it too. I still love this man although I know I will never be able to trust him again. He says he still has hopes of us getting back together some day but I know that will never happen. How feels he has done no wrong and that God has forgiven him. He says he is trying to change but I know for a fact that a leopard cannot change his spots. He has gone thru his whole life hurting people and I hope someday he gets hurt!

I left someone I loved many, many times. Somehow, we always ended up back together. We were perfect for each other, and yet horrible together. I easily loved him more than I ever loved my husband . . . and I know for a fact that he felt the same about me. We started together when I was 16, and finally figured out by the time I was 21 that it could never be permanent. After that, we just talked when we needed to hear each others voices, and discuss things that had happened in our lives as time was moving on. He died 2 years ago, but I am comforted by the fact that he knew how much I loved him, and that he and I both knew we were better off without each other.

I know its corny, but sometimes you just have to let go, and live with the fact that you can love someone, and still know in your heart that they aren't right for your life.

[this is the hardest thing for me to realize, but ive been doing this, coming to the realization, that i'll probably die, with that feeling inside of me, that i went throughout life being unhappy and living without my soulmate]I just got tired of all the drama and fighting, i left her beacuse i was unhappy, but sometimes i think im more unhappy without her, i just dont know, this has been the hardest thing i have ever done.

I left someone who lied, cheated and was very controlling. Actually abusive controlling. No, I do not still love him...
a few years later I dated, two other men, each one was worse then the other...so I stopped dating.

I know that I can love...but I don't trust my pick in men. I always picked the bad boys...very insecure, controlling and abusive.

Not cases of "leaving" somebody, but I regretted that I didn't/couldn't stay with them.

1. Jenny was a beautiful woman w/ deep intellect. We spoke for hours. She liked me - a lot. Was a bit clingy, and poured her heart to me. And we got physical. In the end I told her that commitment was something I couldn't give - and she was heartbroken. Yes, I was a jerk, I'd led her on. And then, being the idiot I was, as soon as she began to withdraw from my life, I began to miss her. And then she got a boyfriend. If I didn't want to commit, if I had no feelings, why was I jealous? DUH... I liked her... I loved her. But it was too late.

I eventually confronted her and apologized for having hurt her - and explained to her that the reason I was afraid to commit was that the last time I'd liked a girl so much, I'd gotten terribly hurt. So for 4 years I had several "girlfriends" and flings, and got emotionally close to none. She was different. She forgave me - and we moved on.

2. Sarah was a friend... and that's it. Till one day we fell in love.... madly in love. Problem was, Sarah lived very far. She went home, told me it couldn't happen, but we remained in touch. friends, right? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. She visits again, and we almost go to bed together. But she goes home... I call her, ask her for a LD... but she's going to grad school. She can't commit to a LD in the middle of school... even though she misses me, wants me to be her man.

Life sucks at times.

I don't think you just stop loving someone instantly just because you break up. Typically you still love the person, but you finally come to the realization that you just can't share the same space any longer.
