Love Hurts....but Was It Love?

[TheRtHonSec]

Many, many years ago, I met a girl who blew me off my feet. She was the double of Katherine Ross. Remember her? Anyway, we worked together and I plucked up the courage to ask her out. Amazingly (to me anyway) she said yes! Wow! We had a great 3 months together. I fully respected her and treated her very honourably. Honest! I thought, "This is it!" I was smitten by her; would have done anything, ANYTHING, for her. Then right out of the blue, without warning, she ended it. It wasn't for her. It was over. No going back. Forget it. I was devastated. Utterly devastated. I couldn't figure out why. She wouldn't even speak to me at work. If there was anything she needed to ask me, it was done via someone else. I just couldn't understand it. I was sulking and feeling sorry for myself for ages. Then a work colleague spoke to me about her and said I was better off without her. She was a sex maniac! She'd been with every guy in town, but she wasn't used to being treated in the way I treated her. Can you believe that? But the worst thing was that she had been telling everyone about me and taking the mick. Everyone knew. She'd made me a laughing stock. Looking back, it was my own fault. The stupidity of youth. It wasn't love at all. It was infatuation. That was down to me and I know it now. But I'll never forgive you Theresa for the way you gossiped about me and made me a laughing stock. That was the pits. My work colleague was dead right. I was better off without her.
Cest la vie.

I had my heart broken at 17 in a similar fashion...40 years later he contacted me begging forgiveness and pleading for me to "let him back into my heart ".. took all that time but what a result ! took pleasure in ripping up his Tome into millions of bits and sent it back !

" We had a great 3 months together. I fully respected her and treated her very honourably. Honest!"

That was your big mistake. Women like a "bit on account" not necessarily the whole hog in 3 months.
Yes.....C'est La Vie.

at least one in the 'everyone' she was ridiculing you to - should have said - 'look you shouldnt be doing this!'

[kvalidir]

That says more about her than you RtHon, she didn't make you look a laughing stock, she made herself look like a classless ***, however I do think too much too soon can be quite off putting unless it's perfectly balanced to the way the other person feels. It's very easy to fall in love with the wrong person or with someone whose feelings aren't moving at the same pace as yours or are as intense, and then if you start picking out curtains you're liable to scare them into running for the hills- watching that myself at the moment x

// 40 years later he contacted me begging forgiveness and pleading for me to "let him back into my heart ".//

pair at home did this after er 60 y
wore out their first spouses
and DID get married to their first loves ( ie each other ).
They had split in 1925 - aaaah !
and er.... it didnt end that happily
as of course now they were different people and not that changeable or willing to change

Kvali....because it is DISGUSTING.....FILTHY.....totally inappropriate for this class of website, easily watched by children almost on a daily basis.
Moderate your language young Kvali.................;-)

[murraymints]

lol PP ..he's now living in sorrow in the Shetlands..lots of sheep there for company !

[Peter Pedant]

why is *** a starred out word???
considering that it is the standard word in spoken Arabic for 'gurl'. I agree

and yeah agree Kval - the girls actions reflect badly on her and it is surprising how many people notice.....

[Peter Pedant]

good MM

and I asked what did you do?
and he said
I turned around and covered the first 100m in under 10 s.
Clealry that eternal love didnt last as well

Love really does hurt when your partner of 50 years passes away.

[Old_Geezer]

If you don't forgive you'll rage over it, on and off, for life. See, you post here but it was years ago. Sad things happen to everyone. 3 months is such a short percentage of your life; don't taint all the rest of your life with it. Put it in the past and move on unfettered by it. It'll benefit you, whilst now, you're the only one being hurt by your considering it still.

What IS this love that ABers are continually on about and the Rev Curry took almost half an hour to try to explain?
Sorry.....I just don't get it.
If it is the feeling one has for ( I was going to say the opposite sex ) one's partner which cannot be replicated by anyone else....then i think that it is nonsense. With that definition there must be thousands of "individuals".....hundreds of thousands that one could be "in love " with.

awww..'tis indeed Danny :0(

[murraymints]

"whatever that means "

[Barmaid]

After 28 years apart I bumped into the love of my life. He's now in bed upstairs.

[Sqad]

[dannyk13]

Who is that for Sqad?

[Ken4155]

If love hurts, you're not doing it right. Soz, couldn't resist.

[Sqad]
