I dated a guy for 2.5 years and he broke it off with me. At that time we had of course talked about marriage and the future. We were very serious and this relationship was long term. It hurt, I cannot deny that, I thought I couldn't deal with it, but time truly does heal. I spent a lot of time talking to my parents and my friends about the situation and I realized that it actually was for the better. He and I weren't a match even though I thought we were.
He left me and hurt me and if he truly loved me there was no way he would have done that to me. It has been several years since then and I have met my current boyfriend who I have been dating for a long time now and I couldn't be happier. According to me, it was very important to have that heart break. It has made me a lot stronger and a lot more knowledgable about love and life.
