Have you ever LOVED and LOST someone you loved dearly?

Question

What caused you to lose them? and was it worth losing them for that cause?

these are all very touching answers

Answer 1

Does losing a friend of 42 years count in that question he was taken in CONFLICT

Answer 2

Lost my best friend, when 18. Lads have a hard time admitting it, but I loved him dearly and miss him very much.
I helped carry him at his funeral and 18 years later, can still feel him pressing on my shoulder. I hope I always will.

If you mean the boy/girl (for hetros) love, then yes I have lost both the women that I have loved in my life. Was it worth losing them? Well never really had much say in it. The cause? Me, I guess; so no, definately not worth it.
The first caused me to try and kill myself, then hate women for years and as a result, I hurt many women (not physically, calm down) during my recovery.
The second, I am still trying to work things out (although I said I was the cause, in truth, she is not operating on the same floor as most people - not even in the same building as most), as she may have had my baby in November. Nothing will be worth losing Her, but the kinda-ex is holding all the cards, for the minute.

Answer 3

Losing a loved one is always difficult. But remember, it takes two to make a relationship work. So, if you were in a relationship that broke up, for whatever reason, your partner obviously lost interest in you. This is not a reflection on you, this is a change of opinion by your partner. So consider this, if someone decides they don't like you, why should you spend time being sorry they aren't in your life anymore? After all, if they reject you, it's obviously because they have failed to see your true fine qualities. That doesn't mean that you didn't have a good time while it lasted. It's just that your partner lost their common sense.

Answer 4

I couldn't compete with the ex-wife anymore,it was clear he still cared for her very much and was willing to let his ex and their two daughters(teenagers) interfere and cause drama every step of the way. The ex and "the girls" ruined our marriage,along with other people's relationships. He went back to her for a short time,she hadn't changed from the first time they were together,they ended as well(at least he remarried again to someone else)Was it worth giving him up? Yes, I got my self respect back. Looking at it now,six years later,the signs were there that he and his ex had unfinished business. I'll never know why he drug me into his life,if he still loved her,why bring me into it?I don't know,I wish I did.

Answer 5

I have never been dumped, I've always been the one who has done the dumping, but with very good reason. I let one bloke go because he was a womaniser although I loved him very much and still miss him now, years later. I did the right thing though, I couldn't live with someone I didn't trust.

Answer 6

You and at least half of the world, we all loose people we care for in some form or other, that's life, does there have to be a cause.

Answer 7

yes i have , time was not right , somehow the circumstances ... i dont know if it was worth or not , at this point it was not possible to stay together
i am happy that i had the opportunity to feel this deep love and u never know what life has in store for u , right ? ;-)

Answer 8

It is said that it is better to have loved, and lost than to never have loved at all. Who knows though? God can zap the right person to ya if you are right with HIM.

My loss was due to his cheat-a-thon. I was in love with him, but he had poor moral values. Parents taught him how to cheat. Sad, but true.

It could have been worse if I had caught HIV/AIDS, and would be dead by now.

Answer 9

I lost someone because, partly, my stubborn ways. If I realised at the time I would lose her forever, I would have grown up so much quicker

Answer 10

I loved a girl and lost her because I was too uptight to even realise that I loved her, let alone tell her as much
