Broke up with Girlfriend
- Thread starter TSS
- Start date
I had thoughts like this when I was younger, but I eventually realized that nobody should take their life over a breakup. No man or woman is worth it. I think when we're young we hear stories like the story of Romeo and Juliet and it puts this idea in our head that taking one's life over a boy or girl is somehow romantic. But it's far from romantic. It's just downright tragic. I know Romeo and Juliet is very different from your story. Your story involves lies and deceit. But still I think we're taught that ending one's life over someone else is somehow worth it. And we're taught that two people are somehow meant to be together. And we carry these ideas into every relationship until we realize that nobody is really meant to be together. Relationships just happen. They either work or they don't. I hope you find yourself in a relationship that works. And if you don't, I hope you come to realize that you're enough just as you are.
Says who, though? It's just an opinion. People with many terrible physical and mental disabilities are "enough." My husband has a profoundly disabling physical condition and it has hamstrung his life, but he still has been able to persist despite years of devastating blows.
Being "broken" is a subjective judgment. People come back from all kinds of things - opiate addiction, homelessness, deadly diseases. They simply keep taking baby steps forward. One day at a time. You can too.

I'm sorry to hear what happened TSS. I know it sucks and feels like it's the end of the world, but give yourself time to heal. For now, everything is probably still fresh so it's normal to feel what you are feeling, but it's really not worth taking your life or hurting yourself over with, because of someone who isn't worth your time, care, love and affection. If anything, you should be proud of yourself that you've came to realize that things have to stop when it comes to putting up with those lies. You deserve better.
