A broken heart can rock your world, and although most people wouldn’t recommend obsessing over the relationship, reflecting on sad love quotes can give you perspective. We’ve all been there – and if you haven’t, your day may come.
“Part of me aches at the thought of her being so close yet so untouchable.” – Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
The person who’s right for you may not always be available to you. This might include a friend, a coworker or another acquaintance who is already in a relationship with someone. This person may have all the qualities that you’re looking for in a partner. But at the end of the day, the two of you will never be together.
“Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.” – St. Augustine
Losing a loved one causes great pain. On one hand, this grief could have been avoided if the person was never in your life. But on the other hand, if this person were never in your life, you would miss out on happy memories and feelings.
“Everyone in life is gonna hurt you, you just have to figure out which people are worth the pain.” – Erica Baican
Nobody is perfect, and the people you care about the most will hurt you. Not to suggest sticking around and taking abuse. Understand, however, that relationships have ups and downs. There will be joy and pain. You have to decide whether the pain is worth the joy
“Sometimes you need to run away just to see who will come after you.” – Lisa Brooks
If you question your partner’s commitment to the relationship, giving each other a little space may be the only way to test the strength of the union. If he or she fights to keep you, you’ve got a winner. But if you leave and no one follows, keep walking.
“Trust your husband, adore your husband, and get as much as you can in your own name.” – Joan Rivers
Even if you have the most loving and stable relationship today, there are no guarantees that the union will last forever. And if you rely solely on your partner’s income and credit for financial support, you might be digging a hole for yourself.
“Don’t waste your time on someone who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.” – Anonymous
There is nothing wrong with giving a relationship your all and making sacrifices for the greater good of the union. But this is a two-way street. If you’re constantly giving but never receiving, you might end up frustrated and bitter.
“I miss your smile… but I miss mine more.” – Laurel House
After breaking ties with someone, you may sit back and reflect on happy times and actually start to miss this person. Ask yourself, was I really happy during the relationship? Did you cry more than you laughed? Did you spend more time apart than together? Loneliness can trigger selective amnesia. But remember, there is a reason that you’re no longer together.
“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.” – Mark Twain
Whether you’re dealing with a partner or a best friend, if this person only calls when they’re bored and there’s nothing better on the agenda – you can do better. Wake up and surround yourself around those who value your time.
“No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.” – Faraaz Kazi
Can love be painful? Absolutely! But here’s the thing, regardless of how bad you feel, life goes on. Sure, you can lie in bed for weeks and isolate yourself from everyone. By doing this, you not only give the other person satisfaction, you deprive yourself of happy times with those who care about you.
