Hypothetical question.

 

You're in your twenties and have had a serious relationship for 4 or 5 years with the person you feel is the love of your life.

 

He or she is absolutely everything you want and admire in a person, and the two of you have discussed marriage.

 

Your love suddenly dumps you. The reason doesn't matter; it's just that they broke it off for whatever reason.

 

Due to how wonderful your love was, would you declare, "If it takes forever, I will wait for you," OR would you move on with your life (after grieving the relationship), and eventually (you hope) find someone else to love?

@YorkieonmyPillow. I'd move on. After being dumped, I could never trust it wouldn't happen again...and again.

I would move on, if it is meant to be it will be, if not there are other fish in the sea!

The latter for darn sure. Thank your lucky stars, hypothetically, that person left your life before it could have been ruined. They would have made a lousy other.

I believe in that saying...

 

"If you love something set it free..." I would move on. I did it three times!

I would thank my lucky stars  for a narrow escape, and move on. It probably would hurt a lot ,and take a while to recover ,but I think it's the best thing to do
