I've had my heart crushed a few times but not in the traditional sense of being dumped. In high school, I fell into liking with a guy who returned the feeling but only to play second fiddle to his religion, which was his first love. Then my first real relationship with the guy I thought I was going to marry, well he never popped the question, in fact, he never wanted to do anything to commit himself to me. So I had to leave. In that sense, I wasn't dumped but I wasn't #1 either. It's kind of the worst feeling, to have someone tell you they love you but never really express that completely. It feels like a lie.

I've had to break a heart for the first time after mine was crushed. Thinking bad to how I felt when it happened made it even harder to break his. It's never easy. No matter how gentle you are, it's still going to hurt. I hate that. This post couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve had to break a heart for the first time after mine was crushed.

I think in my experience, I've done more heartbreaking, but that's not to say I haven't been hurt or feel bad when I hurt someone else. interesting.

And lovely first post! It is funny how we always think heartbreak is intentional when it happens to us, yet when we do it, it is never as malicious in intent as we see it when the shoe is on the other foot!

Even if you dont particularly like that person... but ultimately it's whats best for you. It’s never easy to dissappoint someone. Even if you dont particularly like that person…

THEN the next day, i would feel guilty when he started calling/texting/emailing all over again. i think we all have some unique situations that we learn and grow from, but that doesn't make any of them easier than the one before. thanks for sharing dear. wow maris. i think just about all of us can relate with this. however, i would have been the weak girl who accepted the invite for a night of a little attention from someone you know loves you.

The first guy i went out with I broke up with because it didn't feel right. Every since, I have been the one who has been broken up with for pretty much that same reason. I always think it's some sort of karma based on that first break-up. Looking back though, despite the fact I felt bad about breaking up with the dude, at least I got over it far quicker than I did when I was the dumpee. Great post, Maris!
