No way time to move on especially if you still hurt and have feelings all you will do is just prolong the pain because when her new man comes along its done again and you will have more pain... relationship done time to cut ties to move on she will continue to get what she can til she is done. Not worth it man.
Wish she would have it would have made things easy.
She had past relationship DAMAGE.

According to those with life long marriages, the death of the spouse was unspeakable pain to the point that the survivor wished it on themselves.
But they would not have changed a thing.

Most definately. There is no other feeling that is greater than love. Yeah you might get hurt in the process of finding love, thats a risk that you have to be willing to take. You cant expect to find the right person for yourself right away.

Yes it is worth it! All love is painful! Pain is a component of love. If it was not painful then imagine what people would be like. For without love and pain, of the heart, then there would not be a need for self awareness!!!!!

Yes yes yes! Love is worth the pain. Love can suck sometimes. Like when you tell a guy you love him and he doesn't say it back. Love hurts sometimes but that's not neccessarily a bad thing. It shows you have a heart that is capable of feeling and hasn't run cold.

Yes and No... I am greatful for the years and memories I have of Love but the pain and scars will always remain because love is temporary and people change when love can not fix the issue and is lost the pain is a rememberance to never truely give yourself for when you do you lose yourself and give someone control of shattering a peice of your soul. So Yes worth the pain because I would have never known how strong love can be what people will do for love but in the end I don't need to ever feel that pain again and nobody will ever get keys to the inner heart.. may see it may touch it may feel it but will never control it. I think everyone should experience it thou just some of us not designed to have a multishattered soul

Yes.
The love is worth the pain. And there will be pain, because the relationship will end, either in death or in breaking up. You can't let that inevitability keep you from loving because the pain of never loving is much, much worse.

If you realize life is pain, then yes.
If you are a coddled immediate gratification junky that thinks being unemployed for a year is hell, or not having enough money for the super size value meal means you are downtrodden, or you get mad when you can't play call of duty that day, or spend most of your time high, then no.

I think this is the answer for me.
It seems there may be many different answers, depending on our life experiences. I believe some fall harder than others. So the pain may be more excruciating to some, and question "was it worth it". Can't give a yes or no answer to this.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure I agree with at least one part. I don't know if I think one might feel it more excruciating than another. It may be that they can handle it better or work through it better.
That might be what you mean, though.
I don't like to say that one person's pain is more than another's because that, to me, seems a little judgemental or condescending. It seems like comparing and finding wanting, or something, and I don't think that's what you mean at all.
I think much of it is about our makeup and how we handle things, and knowing ourselves enough to know if we can go through it again. At least, not until we make changes in how we deal with it, be that to be more protective of self or whatever measures we take.

Mr crash I feel for ya,I also lost my first love.
The wife was my rock ,and me hers.
When I finally met someone that I had common interests and values for we didn't talk much about are past. We focused on are future. 3 months later I said the love word. Didn't take long for that one to end.
Hurt ,bitter,angry. Moving on now has me guarded.
Was it worth it. Not a clue. I'm still healing.
Not having the love returned sucks.
Let me ask everyone should I remain friends with a women who broke my heart or should I just tell her to take a hike ?

If remaining friends will prolong the pain then don't do it. If you can accept her feelings as not being what you want it to be, and not resent her for it, then try to be friends.
We don't always get what we want. But the point is is to love. Love is a gift, and we don't always look to getting a return gift, right?
I've been lucky. I did find love again after my husband died. But my giving love, while much better when reciprocated, isn't predicated on it being returned. It's not a tit for tat thing, or shouldn't be. While I'm not talking about endless love when someone doesn't return it and sticking around to moon over the person, I am talking about accepting their feelings, and not hating them for not being able to be what we want.

I do like your approach to how love Might work.Yeng/Yang
Love is that funny little thing that can hurt at times.
But saying a yes or no is tough!!!
We all have heard how powerful the word NO means.
It is much stronger then saying Yes.
We are in the minority with are years on us.
Sorry I'm still on the fence.

Love doesn't bring pain. The results from the end of a relationship, for whatever reason, cause hurt. If one gives true, heartfelt love to another, that's an indication that they can do it again and a favorable characteristic.

Love does NOT cause pain. Our beliefs about losing love is what we allow for us to cause a sense of pain. Any loss of close companionship will create a sense of loss, how we allow our belief to respond is what creates our pain.

Yes but not if I know it will bring pain. I got really selective in who I chose to date after getting hurt by the first 2 men I met after my ex-H and I split up. I started dating the safer men, the ones I didn't think as soon as I met them that they would use me, lie to me or cheat on me. If it happens at some point then it happens, can't prevent that unfortunately, but I steer clear of the types that just give off the impression they can't be trusted.

Love in all its forms will bring some pain because no one escapes suffering and it brings us pain to see someone we love suffer. However, love in and of itself does not equal pain and if an intimate relationship is painful there is an absence of love somewhere.

This is the truth. The only thing left is, you have to decide if the risk of pain of the loneliness, or the rejection is worth the risk you are taking in being vulnerable to love..
I say yes! But that's me. Many don't want to risk it again once they have felt the pain that often happens when it is lost..
