So, I have been betrayed....

[Groovedaddy]

Nothing new of course, but there is a lesson in every break up..the heart is weak and the heart is cruel, murderous even, when it wants to free itself from commitment, responsibility and care . Gave up everything to be with my now ex, and it proved in the end to have been as pointless as a two legged rocking chair. Maybe I am cynical in my old age but I no longer trust love. I think ppl stay with each other only because its suits their very individual, selfish best interests. Its an unbearable load to care for someone who loves you, but whom you no longer love. Love without principles is weak shite snd principles are never strong enough to prop up a love thats dying. Of course all that filofising doesn't make me any less lonely, shocked, bewildered and embarrassed at where I have found myself.....

know just how you feel, you give everything and yet - it's never enough.

What did you sacrifice to be with them?

I work on the basis that it's 'better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'. So I think love is rarely a waste of time and you can never berate yourself for being a loving person. The world needs more love. :) However, sticking with a bad relationship purely on principle or to fulfil some kind of obligation... that's a big fat waste of time.
