After breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend: Fear of never falling in love again?

After you have broken up with someone you have been with for a long time, did you feel like you would never fall in love again?

I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years and I feel like I will never fall in love again as much as I was with him.

If you have ever felt like this, how long did it take you to get over it? Did you fall in love again like you did with that other person?

    I went through this when I was young. I thought I would "never" recover...I felt sad, lonely, the world took on a strange feeling for me. If you are "really depressed,"seek counseling from a qualified relationship therapist. I went on to "fall in love" more than I "thought I was in love" with my boyfriend years later. I got over it....enjoyed life to the fullest in my 20s. Sometimes being single is more fun (I did more with friends) and I wasn't just hanging with my boyfriend. We had different goals and ended up going in different directions. Hearing this does not minimize the pain, but it will help you to realize (there is life after you break up with someone you were so attached to). Join a club...meet new people...force yourself to do this to not "think" so much about him. Good luck.

    I was with someone for 7 years, I honestly believed with all my heart that I loved him. I was in relationships but you might as well say that I was single for 5 years, I never loved any of them and I never even felt anything remotely close to love for them. I stopped looking for love, I said that I had gave up and when I finally said that, I met my partner and after some time I realized that I had fallen for him, the love that I feel and have for him is stronger than the love I felt when I was with my ex, It basically doesn't even compare, If I look back at what I felt for my ex, It doesn't even feel like I loved him at all.

    It depends. You'll feel that way at the beginning but after some time you will get over it. Who knows? You might find someone better than him, or you might end up going back with him. Anything is possible. Just be patient and think positive.

    It depends of your personality and how deep was your love to your ex. Avoid staying alone and time will tell !!
