S? Is that you

>>83432500
Fully, but it only applies to slowly falling out of love or losing your partner to a disease, probably on the latter. Getting cheated on by some fuckslut doesnt fit in the picture. You werent loved.

>>83432500
Strongly agree. Gives you better appreciation for when it happens again. You have to ask yourself, what could have been better on both sides?

>Getting cheated on by some fuckslut doesnt fit in the picture. You werent loved.
is it bad that i think it's still worth it?

>>83432500
would this still apply to unrequited love?

>>83432574
Anons in love with the fuck slut

>>83432574
You havent lost love in that case. You have lost chinese knockoff that irradiated your entire life.

>>83432597
i'd be in love with an orangutan if it shows me any attention

>>83432574
Greentext the full story? More info would definitely help here. My now wife cheated on me early in the relationship. As I got older and understood her more, It made sense as to why. It allowed us to grow into a healthy relationship and even bring a kid (yes shes my bio) out of it.

>>83432500
no, it is not. love is not a requirement for being alive and you don't NEED to experience it

>>83432500
Is it better to do heroine and run out or never start at all?

>3 years later, i catch her texting her ex
>confront her
>she admits that she's been texting him and she still has feelings for him
>says she wants to break up
>and that's it
>still not over her a year later
if she came back to me, I'd take her in a heartbeat. ik it's pathetic.

>>83432500
I disagree. I would like my hope and fantasies back. I would gladly trade my memories and experiences to get those back.

>have never loved at all
At first it can feel amazing as you don't have the upsides, but you don't have the upsides either, and eventually it will lead to bitterness, seeing what others have and you will never have, be it Incel or Volcel.
>better to have loved and lost
No such thing as love, that's a human concept, our natural desire is sex and reproduction.
But if we go in the wish washy way of disney 'love' then it depends entirely on the individual.
Se your average normie, he does not feel love, he acts on impulse, on the need to mate with the first person they feel attracted to.
A normie will divorce, and divorce and keep doing that.
Now say an individual that feels 'love' on the wishy wash way will be in constant pain from just a single breakup, you did seek that one all your life, you find her but then it all goes to shit and you lose her, you won't recover like the normie who just shed a tear today and next week he is fucking again.
There is no concrete answer, is how you deal with loniness, some individuals just drink to death, others spend a ridiculous amount of money on hobbies, others go the hooker route.
I for one know I will never date even if given the chance because I (and her) would become statistics (not I'm not a glowie).

Normies can NOT feel love the wish washy way, if they did they would not jump slash change partners so quickly, this is corruption, not love, love is a person who says loses someone on a car crash and spirals into depression, think a father for his child and never again he speaks of that child and it take up to 20 years for him to ever consider having another one, this is not a normie, a normie makes one kid with each different boyfriend/girlfriend and 'interact' with then once per year

tl,dr: it depends on the person and they value relationships.

>>83432574
It's a little bad but how bad depends on you. Are you a desperate cuck or are you just looking for a fuckslut? Personally, I was cheated on and if she tried to show up and get me to take her back I would. But I'd treat her like dogshit, she'd be a hole on legs or she can fuck right off. I wanted to kill her when she confessed but she wasn't worth that not even close kek

Everyone knows an 'ex' isn't really an 'ex' and that you're just next in line
I know how strong the biological urge is but
Seriously how come guys still put up with this humiliation shit? I would understand loving women if this were the 1700s and it was a case of growing together since you were kids, or each others' families subtly pressured you two together and then it actually works out because you bonded early

But modern day 'dating'? This shit is straight up humiliation for anyone who's not in tune with their animal nature. The only winners in 'dating' are guys who don't care about the girls and just getting their dick wet. You see it time and time again.

And then people with romanticism still pine for a girl that had other dicks in her. Baffling. Keep your self respect at least in this shit world.

>>83432500
Love is a meme. It's no more real or substantial than justice or good.

t. has loved and been loved

>I took my wife from her ex (who was her first). Had fun, knocked her up shortly after.
>After kid, she hits postpartum. She get back in contact with him. I'm working 60+ hrs and not home. They hook back up
>Friend snitches on them to me. Immediately break it off and go full psycho on the situation. Bugged and keylogged everything I can and monitor. After he tried to slide back into her dms, I immediately put a stop to it with some nefarious shit. Same with a family "friend" (actually had allot of fun making that piece of shit look like a stalker infront of my whole family and embarrass the shit out of her)
>After I got the exs out, then shit got good. Keep a close eye on her. She's very forthcoming about anything.

I did have to become a husband that was worth keeping. So I had to improve myself to be able to stay ahead.

As for someone who has never loved. I'd say this is better. I don't know what I'm missing out on, and given my track record (virgin at 26) I'd say it's better this way than to have had sex one time and then never again.

>>83432749
>They hook back up
>I did have to become a husband that was worth keeping
This is just sad. Simps will put the blame on everyone, but the woman. Should've left her after she cheated.

>Had fun and took her from another guy
>Acts offended that he does the same to youa
>Wonder why women cheat when you enable them and do similar

She will do it again btw and its deserved.

I am permenantly happier for having had a gf even though she dumped me a couple years later. My confidence and peace of mind is greater now.

Depressing thread desu

>>83432777
Trips of truth. I probably should have, but I was raised in a divorced house and I didn't want to do that to my son. I bit the bullet. Plus 18 years of child support, joint custody, ect. My son is the ONLY reason she got a second chance and I have told her clear as day that she has him to be thankful for, otherwise she'd be stuck working a slavewage job probably still living with her parents. She's not qualified for much more.

>>83432500
idk, I have never loved, so I am not sure what I am missing out on.

>>83432898
I wish men could win custody battle. Sometimes (a lot of the times) the mom just ain't shit.

>>83432500
No, not at all. I wish I had never fallen in love. Since it happened I feel like a drug addict chasing after it again.

>>83432500
never had it but i bet it's true.
it is the most powerful emotion next to grief, which is an emotion all about losing love

>>83432936
Yup. Same here. I've seen plenty of good fathers get fucked by shit mothers. With that being said, I am glad I gave her a second chance. Not only do i not have divorce issues, she has become a very good and submissive wife. She's made up for her past, which i can't even fault her for

>>83432500
I think i kinda want to rip a fat shit in the toilet but im kinda sleepy so my shrektum is going to wait

>>83433023
That behavior is built on a foundation of guilt and fear. It can work and even last for a lifetime, but I personally wouldn't want that. I'll likely die alone, though, so take it with a grain of salt, I guess.

>>83433042
Initially in our relationship.Yes it was one hundred percent. About a year before my daughter was born, she essentially broke down and admitted anything and everything, and that had happened over the past few years, how she fell, what she was thinking. More or less, she thought she treated me like shit (which for 3 years was true. It fucked me up). Once she was completely broken, that's when we really were able to start our relationship. I don't have a happy beginning to it, but the ending looks pretty good. Our son turns 18 soon and our daughter is almost a teenager.

Side note to how today is
>Son is buying our daughter and himself dinner at the restaurant he works at so my wife and I are going out to grab food. She's throwing on a mini skirt for me so it can play with her on the way to/from.

>>83432500
I don't. The former's only purpose is to teach that the later is not that bad.
