Break up heart break - Page 3

Only had 1 and it was my first real girlfriend. Part of the reason I went back to high school after my class had graduated. Also part of why I joined the United States Army Reserves.

Lots of dating, but only that first one was exclusive. Decided it was best for me not to get married until I felt I could follow through with with the "Till Death Parts Us" vow. I was 62 and it will be my 1 and only marriage.

I think it's her business, not something that should be discussed by strangers. I would be very upset knowing my grandmother was talking publicly to strangers about a painful and embarrassing time in my life.

@Shorty2U Bless her heart. I hope she is stronger than I was when I was 19 and engaged. My beau was in reserves and sent for his six month stint. Long story short, he cheated while away and dumb as a stump me forgave him and we married. He ended up cheating on me three times during our 10 year marriage. I finally gave him the boot, but it sure took me long enough. I should have dumped him after the first time.

@occasionalrain I have to agree with this. As much as this young woman is hurt, she is just that-a young woman and the ex-boyfriend is just a young man. Way too soon for all this family drama on his side for two young people who have only dated for 5 months.

It does hurt us to see our children/grandchildren hurt but she is very young-time to focus on herself for her own happiness.

I would be also. This is probably why she wants to be left alone.

Posters discuss family issues here all the time.

The OP asked if we remember break up heartache.

Did she give out too much info? Maybe. However, I'm fairly certain, since this is an anonymous board, nobody knows who are the parties involved.

Perhaps it's the OP and not the topic,

Just sayin'. jmoymmv

I must agree with those who are commenting about the quite short period of time she was involved with this young man. 5 months hardly qualifies for a long term relationship.

Seems like quite a bit of drama for something that was over so,quickly.

ah such is life. would that betrayal were only an issue in dating. sadly we must all learn to deal with those who don't live up to expectations. so glad she won't waste any more time with him - leaving door open to a more worthy young man.

@Cakers3

I happen to like the OP, she and I have spoken often about her struggles with pain. I don't know why you threw that in there. Oh, wait. Yes, I do.
