I'm not sure about how you know or what you do, but I do have a pretty good idea how it feels.
For me, it feels like what I imagine dying might feel like. You want to take one more breath, but you can't. No matter how much you want to breathe again, you've taken your last breath. You have to accept and - somehow - let go.
I wrote a song about it, called "Virtually Love."
Goodbye Forget me if you dare My lonely cries vanish in thin air My world may burn but you won't - won't even care
Goodbye Leave me if you can Your stubborn pride Defies a divine plan If I live forever I will never Understand

(It's in the key of C minor, if anyone cares.)
It feels terrible but it also depends on who did stop loving who.
The perfect endding would be if the person stopped loving each other at the same time and space, which must be quite rare.
I can not fool myself, so I did know way time back that things where not right so I did say that to my children's father. Things changed a bit and then again back to the same.
I did stopped loving him and getting apart was a relief for me. It was like no more suffering without sense, fredom from pain.
BB_snickers: ( B natural. I care. Change the key! )The only thing that is forever, is forever.
B Natural sounds way too happy and festive for my current tastes, Al.
But thanks for reminding me that only "forever is forever." I was starting to become afraid that only "infinity is infinite," so that's something of a relief.

Life is much more than loving a person.
I agree, Life, but then again, perhaps life can be a lot less at times as well.
I think not loving someone you're breaking up with would be utterly fantastic. Unfortunately, I'm not built that way. For me, love does not go away...not immediately, in any case (or even any time soon).
I've read that one test is whether you feel happier after having left someone. I believe I'm rather horrifically flunking it, if that's the case.

ah ive been there and done that but wont be doing that anymore..lol I believe in dating without drama now..Not meeting guys who I see any warning signs of danger anymore..Focus on work first and worry about the other if the right one comes along. I had a terrible heartbreak a couple years ago, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep, felt like hell and like I was living in it. cried more than i wanted to and was depressed to the point where i wished a mack truck would run me over..i lived to tell the tale and now for the past 5 months am slowly starting to mend my life back on track..

Ah, yes, it would come across as cryptic at this time. My apologies J. Try this.

I'm not sure breaking up with someone necessarily involves drama, but there certainly must be some pain involved. I'm not sure how you plan to avoid that, Swiss, if you ever expect to open your heart to someone. The moment you do that, there's the risk of being hurt. The only way to avoid that with absolute certainty, as far as I can see, is to avoid romantic relationships altogether.

Oh, god. Please, for the love of Zeus, my CS friends - no more song recommendations!
Now that damn song is playing and playing in my head.
Right now my preference is for music that is so hard-edged that it burns straight through the cranium. "Solitary Man" as sung by Johnny Cash is at least in the ballpark...

You are right, I think. Life is much more than loving just one person AND Life can be a lot less at times as well.
Just keep on mind that love is to see the person you love happy, in love...., even if that means, it is not with you.

Ambrose2007: Thanks, Cherry. But I'm more interested in your and other CSers' experiences.
What did it feel like when you knew that someone you had loved was no longer right for you? How did you know? What did you do?
I'm hoping you all suffered horribly so we can, like "misery," love each other's company.
im sure,we all have suffered Ambrose..i have few times.. can i offer a cheesy quote? "if you love somebody,let them go,for if they return,they were always yours.and if they dont,they never were"Kahlil Gibran
is it worth overanalysing again and again?or just go with the famous"wasnt meant to be"

Is that your plan?
Glad you didn't leap in front of a truck, btw.
When you reach my age and fall in love what you think is for the last time and then you realize it was all a sham to him, it certainly does hurt and does involve drama. I was thrown to the curb without any notice. When I realized what was happening I acted like a school girl and begged him to come back to me. I cried night and day, spent money I didn't have, argued with family and almost lost my job. It took years for me to get my act together again. He was the love of my life and even though there definitely is someone out there who could light up my life, I will never take the chance again to trust someone enough to give my heart away one more time.
The way to avoid it happening again is never to fall in love again. It's that simple.
If your thread is about you being hurt, I'm very sorry that you are going through this horrific pain.
If your thread is about Oprah leaving her daily show, get over it.....

Goodbye
Forget me if you dare
My lonely cries
vanish in thin air
My world may burn
but you won't -
won't even care
Goodbye
Leave me if you can
Your stubborn pride
Defies
a divine plan
If I live forever
I will never
Understand
