OT - sort of....prayers, please?

On Saturday, my BF and I got together to celebrate our Valentines Day (since it is mid-week, and we live an hour apart).  Well, the day ended with us actually breaking up - after 3+ years of dating - it is over.  I have been so depressed over this, and I can't eat.  Everytime I try, it just keeps coming up, so I am worried about that to...which makes it worse.

Please pray for both him and I - we are both hurting - it wasn't a nasty break-up, but one that was mutually agreed upon due to the fact that we wanted different things from the relationship and it wasn't fair to either one of us to keep the relationship going.  Just because it was a mutual break-up, doesn't mean it hurts any less...in fact, I think it would have been easier had it been a big blow-up or something that went drastically wrong. This just hurts SO much..... Sorry to be such a bummer on a bright, brisk Monday.

Awww, Sweetie! You've got my prayers.  I know it's got to hurt, but it sounds like the decision was the best one for both of you. Breaking up wouldn't be any easier later on, and prolonging the inevitable would still hurt. Take care.     (((HUG))) **SUE**

So sorry to hear of your break up!  My thoughts and prayers are with you. My husband and I are having problems too, and it's not looking good :(  We have been together 17 years, but just seems lately we dont have mu*****ommon anymore.  We have 3 young boys, so it makes things very hard for us to think of divorcing, I really pray that we can work things out and find the things that made us fall in love in the first place.  Seems when we get stressed out with things, we lose that!! Anyway what I am trying to say, I know how hard it is to make a relationship work, when you both want different things and I feel for you. I hope things get better for you dear. ~Jodi~

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}  It's hard when you break up with someone after 3 years no matter how it's done.  I don't have much advice for you other than to let you know the pain does go away.  But I just wanted to let you know that we are here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on or a ear to listen to you.  Take care and if you can't keep much down - just try liquids for a day or two.  Just make sure your keeping your water intake up.

Im so sorry for your breakup!  Man that is so hard!  I am kinda going through the same thing.  (Long story!)  I will pray that you both will be able to move on and not have any bad feelings and that this decision is the best thing for both.  I also pray that you will have peace about it.  That is the hardest thing!  God Bless you!  You know we are always here for ya!

Hey Darlin I am so sorry to hear of your break up........ Hang tough honey and if you need anything just ask...... Extra hugs coming your way......Marsha

Prayers being sent for love and comfort. Janie

Hang in there sweetie. (((((Hugs))))) coming your way. Break-ups suck bigtime. You can be a bummer anytime!

I am so sorry to hear about this!  I hope with some time you will find peace within yourself for the decision you've made.  My philosophy is everything happens for a reason even when it hurts and we can not understand why!  You can lean on my shoulder anytime you need.  Oh and try to eat something but if you are having a hard time keeping it down, keep it a little more bland and tiny amounts.  Take care.

OK, that is the worst Valentines Day I've ever heard of! I am so sorry you're going through this pain right now. There is no way to make it go away sooner than it will.  Just do what you need to to get through the day. Cry, sleep, talk to friends, whatever it takes. Handle only TODAY, not tomorrow or the next. I lived off cashews and Chardonnay the last time this happened to me. Not necessarily recommending it but it was the only thing I could get down.
