Heartbreak in the Digital Age

in Dating,Relationships

On July 25, 2011, I received an email that ripped my heart into pieces. My boyfriend of two and a half years ended our long distance relationship.

It took me months to emotionally get to a place where I could consider dating again. The few dates I went on proved to me that I really wasn’t ready. It has been a year since our breakup and I have yet to get into another relationship. A year of celibacy. A year of trying to heal my heart.

Yesterday, he posted on his Facebook page that not only is he in a relationship, but his girlfriend is pregnant. It felt like I was kicked in the gut reading it.

We had planned on getting married and trying to have kids. Now he is creating the future we had dreamed about with another woman. I knew someday he would move on, but finding out on Facebook almost one year to the day of when he broke up with me over email …

My heart feels like it has ripped apart all over again.

I am so sorry! My heart breaks for you. I wish there was something I could do to fix this!

Ugh. I’m so sorry. I hope your trip to Bali gives your heart and soul the healing it needs and the happiness you deserve.

Argh, this makes my heart pang for you. I’ve been in that spot, watching from a distance (in your case, both literally and figuratively) while someone you imagined a future with gives that future to someone else. There are no words, other than I’m so sorry… I feel your pain… you deserve to be happy… and I hope you find that. *hugs*
