Awwww that sounds so sad.

I broke it off with my ex husband. He did not see it coming. I just up and filed. He took it badly in the beginning. I took it badly longer than him. We are still friendly. Some say too friendly. I felt I had broken his heart and was very generous with him in the divorce as there was not reason to ruin him financially as well as emotionally. The night before I filed, he flew into a rage and threw something at me. I knew it was not going to get better. I also loved him like family but felt no romantic love for him anymore. I felt it was best to let him go pursue romantic love elsewhere and likewise for me. We are both with somebody currently.

For me the feeling was a "void". Like a piece of my heart was missing.

Teadipper, I gather it was not rose petals he was throwing.

Hotrod_deluxe, great attitude. I never thought of that aspect before.

Maybe it is replaced by like? I do know the opposite of love is not hate but indifference...and I have felt that a few times after the fact. :)

Indifference. That word again :-)

Yup. Maybe it is different for different folks though...maybe the depth of the love shared and the amount of time spent basking in that love changes things/your reactions or ability to see a world outside of what you have known......but yeah...my experience has been indifference...when I thought of the person, I wished the best for them..had no ill will for them...but if they fell off the face of the world...then o well, not my problem any longer, and I would not have cared much either way. But at the same time my outlook was always...that was the past and I am looking to the future!!!!! :)

The world has a face? How DO YOU fall off the face of the world? Hmmm?

The past is past and this world is full of blondes brunettes and ginger heads


plz do not hate me ...l'm an honest man

Yeah right. Your nose begs to differ.
