Tell me your positive story of finding love after a heartbreak

[queenofwandss]

Not really relevant but split up from ex partner whom I share 2 DS with after a long and largely unhappy relationship, just recently had my heart trampled on by someone I have known a long time and genuinely thought he was "the one". I'd really love to hear some nice stories of people meeting nice men (men specifically as I'm losing faith in them!) after they have had heartache. I just want to know it does get better and spread some good vibes, give me some hope to cling to...

Sadly I've just experienced something very similar, so hoping we both get over this soon! We know we will come back from it even stronger, but I do wish the process wasn't so tough!

Yep, I had a toxic relationship with a twat boyfriend, on, off, let me down, was going to move in with me, backed out, completely batshit goings on then finally split up. Met my DH a few weeks later, worried about rebounding, etc but persevered & still together many, many years later.

Stable, calm, lovely. Total love at first sight.

@KintsugiForever hugs to you too then. That's it, I know it'll be fine just wish I could skip this part. I do like hearing nice happy endings though and believe it's out there for me too!

@Wombat96 thank you :)

@queenofwandss

And hugs to you too. I've not cried yet which is bizarre but I think that's still to come. The right man is out there for both of us but he needs to be good enough to give up being happily single for!

Please tell me there are more happy ones?!

I found out my ex DH was cheating on me so kicked him out etc etc. Was an awful time and damaged my self esteem… but eventually I plucked up the courage to go dating again. I had one awful short term experience with an idiot but then I started chatting to a really nice man online, and it just kinda snowballed. Now we’ve been together for 2 years and I couldn’t be without him. He’s kind, respectful, we have great chemistry, laugh a lot and he takes care of me when my condition flares up.

It’s been a long road and I went through some dark stuff but it taught me lessons not just about men but myself too. You will find someone worthy of you OP. Just take your time, heal yourself first before going into anything else ( that was my mistake - lesson learnt! ) and you will get there.

There’s some awful blokes out there but there are lots of nice ones too :)

Aw thanks @StewPots that is lovely, he sounds like a keeper!

Thought i'd die from the betrayal by my husband. I loved him wholeheartedly, would do anything for him. It caused me physical pain.

18mo later i was quite angry the guy had wasted/claimed my 20s and i was determined my 30s would be for ME, so i went on tinder. The second guy i met, we were inseparable from the first meeting although i was very wary and damaged so didnt admit it was love at first sight for a long time! Been together over 2yrs now and its a world away from my marriage. We're equals, we share, we help each other, we're playful.

Watching with interest x

I’ve had a 14 year marriage that I left as I didn’t feel any love between us. Dated a man who I thought was “my one” for 5 years and then on and off for the last year… he was gaslighting and having an affair for that whole last year. It came to a head a few months ago. I never thought I would stop thinking about him.

I met somebody 4 weeks ago and feel like it’s love at first sight and we are inseparable. I felt like the love I thought I felt before was good but this new relationship is so different. No second guessing, no gaslighting. It’s lovely. Fingers crossed it stays lovely forever :)
Good luck to you OP
Many of us have been where you are now. You will heal and look back and realise that better things are coming :) xxx
