      @Nathan Ganga you should definitely care about certain people though. If you find the one man it'll make you even happier. Don't give up on love man. And I should know I almost gave up on love.. until alexis Kaufman saved me from that fate. And also what you're talking about Isn't the same as giving up on love. Once you give up on love. You die inside completely and your heart dies. And you start to hate everything and everyone. Do we're not the same. I would of went to the darkest place imaginable if it wasn't for Alexis Kaufman. And I would of went to a place secluded from humans a place where I can survive all alone without any humans with 500 miles of me at least. A Forrest preferably. And I would've done anything to survive. That's the path I was heading down. So no me and you aren't the same it's not even close. And also I wasn't giving up on love just because love has always been ripped away from me. And it literally felt like the universe just didn't want me to love. It was the fact that I went to hell about 3 years ago. I was in another dimension for 3 months I survived all alone in that hell. You wouldn't believe the things I had to endure in that hell. And almost 2 years later alexis Kaufman comes out of nowhere and saves me from so many things. I will always love that woman. I owe everything to her. And this further proved we're not the same it's not even close. No human is stronger then me. I'm the strongest by far. And no none of you humans could survive for even a minute in that other dimension. All you humans are weak

      Exact same thing happened me back in 2021 and I used to watch this daily!!
      such a hard, tough, and lonely time in my life. Wife abruptly broke up with me 6 days after I lost my grandfather. Went completely cold and forced me out of our “forever home” that we had a few months. Our 3 young children (at the time 7,4, and 2) didn’t know what was happening
      Fought for my kids and got 50/50, went out renting and slowly but surely built my life back up for myself and my children!
      Since then, I met the love of my life and the total opposite of the woman I was with (who I thought in my delusion at the time, was perfect)
      Hard times make hard people and hard times don’t last forever, just long enough to teach you the lesson!
      Whoever is reading this, stay strong and face your hard time with strength and dignity. One day you look back with awe and pride of who you handled yourself at that time, and realise how better life is now ! 🙌🫶🏻

Trust me on this one" I did it and spent all day feeling like a bad ass, my cheating ex barely even crossed my mind that day. Exercising is seriously the best heartbreak medicine

    When a woman cheats or dumps you, think of it like this:
    She's found a store to shop in. It's your store, and she thinks she can spend some amount of time inside it and find something rare and valuable.
    She spends a lot of time and effort shopping, and you spend a lot of time and effort helping her shop (customer service).
    Eventually, she decides that the store doesn't have what she's looking for, so she leaves.
    She might announce she's leaving, or she might not. She might be polite about it, or she might be rude.
    Hell, you might discover one day that she's been shopping at other stores without you knowing.
    Regardless of any of this, the answer is the same: *Next customer, please.*

      Then, if you bump into someone who looks like they might be interesting and you're attracted to them you'll present a better version of yourself, because you'll be healthier and in better shape now.

But now I realize that the person I was in love with was never real. She was never the person i thought she was. Holy shit does that hurt to realize.

      I had two stints of getting back together with my ex when we broke up before the end of 2021...we tried things again 5 months later when she reached out to me, and then I reached out to her 11 months later-if she didnt move out of the island I live on things would've maybe picked up and right now we're kinda talking, I made plans to visit her where she's at now in afew weeks-but something inside me is nudging that it isn't the right move, so I am here

      Woman love to bash men. But all you need to do is get away from that bad woman that's it. Honestly I think you should search for a religious woman that's family oriented and a Christian who centers her life around Christ. Everything gets better whens talking and walking with God. I imagine that a female will want to become my wife if I ask her with intentions of Worshipping the one True God which. I have no embarrassment at all. And I want to marry my christian wife. Forget other people who want you to burn and fall! They should be the first ones to do so;

She was the love of my life and I wanted to get engaged with her after being together for 2 years. You go from feeling in love one day with the woman of your dreams, to be completely lonely the next.
    A few weeks later, her new relationship fell through on it's ass, and I was out dating and met someone new. Karma can also have it's way with a liar and a cheater sometimes.

    I was in a relationship for almost 9 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 19. He was my first love. This past month he has been going back and forth between me and this girl from work that he got drunk and slept with. And every time he came back to me I would accept him without hesitation. He made all these promises to me, telling me he wasn’t going anywhere, that he chose me over her. And it all ended on a Wednesday night when I had gotten off of work and in the most cold tone I’d ever heard from him, he informs me that he doesn’t see a future with me, and that he does not love me. It crushed me. But you were right, I was holding onto a fantasy of him. The reality of him is that he is a bum, no future prospects, no plan, hasn’t even paid rent the last two months. It’s been a week, and that’s all I’ve needed to see him for what he truly was. Thank you.

      Usually after a lot of time passes you can look back and see the subtle signs that she was losing interest or had moved on a while before she broke up. Many of us have been there. All I can say is hang in there and do your best to move on. Also ask yourself how you can be a better partner in the future. Often there are lessons in this, and although it may be unfair and it may not be your fault, we can always improve. Every relationship I’ve had has taught me that there’s always more work to do on myself and that if I really want to “earn” the dream girl, I gotta put in the work to make myself the best version of myself I can be. And again, we can get clues from analyzing why past partners broke up with us, and try to improve ourselves for the next one. At least that’s my 2 cents. Hope you’re doing ok and hanging in there. It will be ok. Plenty of fish in the sea!

I put up with so much, my mental and physical health took a toll. I was always scared of her leaving me and being alone. A month ago we got a apartment together, both of us signed the lease. A week ago she got up and left for someone else, and told me she had sex with that guy 3 times already. I was emotionally destroyed and still am. I couldn’t eat since yesterday. But for the past 2 days I discovered these podcast, working out and real food. I can already feel my life turning around for the better, I feel good for myself for once.

He said if you only have one and you lose it then your whole life and happiness is gone. If you have a pet or two, a spouse, some kids, some good friends(even one) then when one leaves or dies or whatever your whole world doesn't come crashing down. It also just means you have a bunch of sources of happiness and support which is awesome. I learnt this because when I was in college I only had my dog, so when he died it affected me way more than it should have. I suddenly had nothing. My dad was like first step is get a new dog, next build some people around you.

    I needed to hear this after years of suffering and the worst thing about betrayal is that it does not come from your enemies. People don't realize how painful that shit is, it changes you to something you are not.

      You are exactly right. It is extremely painful (like lying on the floor with a knife in your guts). If you don’t get help right away, it will change you into something that will ultimately hurt you and others. It took me way too long to forgive, accept the real truth about things, and to properly process things to put away the pain, and all negative emotions. The old saying is true: Hurt people, hurt People.

      I’m very sorry for you. I just want you to know that there is someone in this world that acknowledges your pain and understands the unending waves of gut-wrenching agony that comes from every waking thought of the betrayal by someone you let deep into your heart, and trusted.
      I would encourage you to feel the pain, without hanging on to any anger, rage or permanent unforgivness. Refuse to let that stay in your mind. It takes time to get over the shock and accept the reality of who and what that person really is.

It really wasn't what I thought it was for a long time. Now it's just about forgiving myself, improving and moving on.

      @@FredericGolz Bro that's exactly how my situation was (or is. I'm not completely healed). I know they say not to do it to prove something to her, but in my case the need to do that has been an incredible force to make lots of positive changes. It's not about getting her back, but about being the person you know you can be and that she wasn't willing to stick around to see.
      Yeah bro you are so right. Yes the physical changes of letting myself go, and the struggling with school made her lose attraction for me. But I think the biggest part in my case was the loss of self esteem, self respect and just general positive vibes because I didn't like who I was. My personality definitely changed for the worst. So yes making a change in the body is good, and is definitely the best stepping stone to make psychological change. But find that happiness within yourself again. Be someone other people enjoy being around and talking to. That's what it's about. In fact I think it's THE thing.

      @Hippie Farmer Same, we were together for 10 years and we split. Its been more than a year and I've moved on. The sad thing is I just recently dated a girl again and everything was going great for 4 months til her ex suddenly wanted her back and now she cut it off with me because she wants to give him a chance and doesn't want to entertain another guy. I was okay with it since she explicitly told me that she wasn't really ready for a relationship and was just casually dating. But what I wasn't okay with was how she just didn't communicate and just abruptly dumped me while telling me she's sorry but she wants to give her ex a chance. She could have atleast told me that in person, but she just texted me. After 2 weeks of waiting. WTF. Atleast my ex and I are still friends, we broke up because she had to move to another country for work and I had to stay for mine. We couldn't compromise, sadly.

She’s a liar, cheat & disgusting human being whom I kept in my head as a saint.

The idea that the right person is out there to be found gives the false impression that looking around for them is the answer. Changing yourself into someone who is attractive is the key. So if you want someone who is very physically fit, you will need to pursue fitness goals of your own. If you want someone who is educated, you should probably start pursuing that graduate degree you’ve been putting off. You won’t “find” the person at the gym or at college, but you will show everyone around you that you’re going after a very valid, relevant goal. This is actually what that person who finds YOU will be attracted to.

    Hope a couple years later I can come back and tell you guys I made it and stay strong, five years of relationship and she even stayed with me during my cancer fight, now I found her chatting with a guy and even share naked photos, it’s just so heartbreaking, anyway I’ll listen to this video every morning for a year, see if I can go through this.

When this happened to me last year I didn't think I would ever recover. But I did and I'm coming back stronger and better than ever...and you will too.

Stings a little still but this pain is significantly better than the reality that awaited me had the relationship worked out
