From a girl who has had her heatbroken MANY times, it is refreshing to see that it is not just the girl who gets hurt and has feelings. I respect the men on this site for having the strength and courage to tell your stories. =)
As for now, I finally found the love of my life. We have been through hell and back a few times. Whenever we hit a tough spot, I always think, I am done. But we always end up back together, like there is a force that holds us there. I am confident this is the man who I'll spend the rest of my life with.
Thank you again for your stories and great words of wisdom. They are wonderful. =)

I had a true love, who turned into something I would never ever had expected.......He had my heart and my life in his hands....he took care of me, but then used the power to manipulate me (or so he thought) I left him, and the ring he gave me, in his home almost a year ago. I am proud to say I never went back.
I held on to the original person he was, although I know he changed. He wasnt a bad guy, just was afraid of losing the love of his life. but Im better than that.

Wow what a great thread!
I am currently with "the love of my live". kinda, sorta.
She is not the person that I thought she was and it really sucks. We have been together for a year as of last week. We have broken up about 7 times and then got back together. We fight all the time about stupid shit. She is very possessive and jealous. She's 100% Italian.
We always talk about our future together. And since the beginning we have always talked about marriage. But now I don't know.
I was madly in love with her for a long time and once we got together she is not the person that I thought she was. But somehow we managed to stay together for a year now.
sometimes I think the only reason that we are still together is because I was her first. I have been with other girls but she is the first girl I ever really loved.
She is going to England for a semester. She leaves in January. I think it might finely be the end of us. Only time will tell. I think this is just a case of its hard to let go of your first love. Sorry if I was rambling.

Maybe I'm still young or maybe I'm pessimistic. But how do you even know when you are with "the one"? I try to stay together and happy with the one I'm with as long as I can. But then, there's always no guarantees. If something was to happen to me and this guy, I'm sure there is another guy out there who one day, I can be happy with and have a relationship with again. And the cycle of love starts all over again.
I used to think there is one person each of us are all destined to be with. Like fate, or destiny. But as I grow older, I really think all that is just a bunch of b.s personally. Something someone made up to make the world sound all great and chummy.
Like look at the divorce rate nowadays. They say I love you, you say I love you, he's happy, she's happy, they both think their love can last a lifetime. Through good and bad. And a few months later,...or some 40 years later, they call it quits, and they separate or divorce hating each other thinking..."boy, did I just waste 17 years with someone who I never even knew in the first place"!!!
Maybe I'm young, maybe I've had bad experiences, or maybe I've still got to see the other half of this life that might hopefully be great...don't know. But please don't flame me.....talk nicely and explain otherwise

Wheeww!! No flames yet. That's a relief. With such sweet stories some posted about their love of their life, I was getting prepared for some major :flame and maybe some 
, but all's good so far
All I know is...I love like the way I want to be loved. But I don't always get that
Men have a mind of their own. And their heart's seem so reserved
But then again, so do women. We're all alike I guess.......
Love makes the world go around
