Do you feel as though you've lost pieces of yourself? Do you think after many losses or even just a few losses you may have lost too much to put yourself back together again?

Yes, after a long relationship with a single mother that went sour, now I'm too afraid to ever date a single mother again. See, I grew very attached to her daughter....I was like a father to her. And now I have totally lost contact with that little girl. I have no kids of my own. My ex lied to me that she would have one more kid if we married. She lied to me so that she could entice me into a relationship with her.
Now, here I am, single with no kid, and my step kid I can no longer see.
So yes, I lost a large part of me in that last relationship.

I've never been married, never been that close to other people, so I can't really relate to anyone who has that much of their identity tied up in other people.
I'm monstrous that way.

Its a good question....but in a nutshell your asking some in a sense to admit that they are lost cause, nutcases in a sense.
I'm not sure how many would be willing to broadcast that on a forum to where they are hoping to meet someone, and I think the answer lies in many of the threads and post we read on here.
Sometimes the answer is better viewed from the outside from others, than a person trying to view how they are now from their own perspective.
Of course any emotional trama takes a piece of us, but most can recover properly with the right attitude and enough time..but with the larger ones, there will be some scars.
I don't view it as I've lost so many pieces of myself, but rather lost time that could have been better spent...in some cases.

in any relationship, people give part of themself.
thats the cost of getting part of someone else.

Nothing is lost.
You can't lose what you didn't have either...if your youth was spent married to someone, they you had your youth...with that someone...nothing was lost as nothing else happened except perhaps in a parallel universe.

Hello, kk...
I think of it as a broken bone. When it knits back together over time, it's stronger than before.
Or...here's another one.
It's like childbirth, all that pain forgotten, and we do it all over again.
I don't think we ever lose the capacity to love again and no, I don't think we lose ourselves. Eventually, we heal what's broken.

It can be argued that you do and don't.
You can say that you lose a part of yourself through compromise and sacrifice of certain characteristics or traits that you are known for doing just for the betterment of the relationship to last. And all of those compromises and sacrifices gets lost in the wind after the breakup, possibly never to be remembered by the other party ever again.
It can be argued that you don't lose a part of yourself under the situation that it is a mutual breakup and you still keep parts of your character, personality, sanity, and emotions in tact and that a breakup can be seen as a springboard for a deepened friendship going on mutual terms and wishing each other the best.
It depends on the way and angle that individuals can take a breakup.....gamer

I lost a part of a close relationship with my children.
Men are evil and the woman should always have full legal as well as physical custody of the children, right, Stumppy?
My divorce judge was the very first name on a billboard put up by a "Men Get the Shaft" type organization rating the most unfair judges to men. I still got better than usual visitation, but she had full custody and let me know it every chance she could.
A lot of men (and their children) get damaged through divorce court decisions.
My kids are all in their mid-twenties now and we have the best relationship we've ever had.
Although there were some very rough years.
Best wishes with you and your children, Stumppy.

I believe this could be true. My ex didn't want our only underage child. He gave me full custody and said I "brain washed" the grown children against him. It was all in his head but he believed it. I told my oldest son to please go talk to him because he's sure I'm keeping you from him. My oldest son said, "Does he really believe you possess those kind of powers?" He made me laugh. Why any "person" thinks someone can turn someone away from them I'll never know. Almost everyone grows to form their own opinions.
OT No, I think we lose an idea of what we wanted.

Breakups don't have to be flaming train wrecks.
I get along with all but one of my ex girlfriends.
I like communicating so there were none of those total surprise breakups. We both saw that clear truth we were not really compatible. It was never a cheating thing.
I don't feel incapable of a great relationship at all. I look forward to it!

I agree with this somewhat.
However I'm not sure about loosing self though.
I had one marriage....
Over 20 years.....
It was not a surprise to me because it was leading up to that for a few years....
Split a couple times....then the real seperation came.
I think that if a person is not aware of what's going on in the home.....
And relationship they can feel lost after the break.
Being strong....is a factor...being aware also, therefor your prepare yourself.
When I moved back to my other house with my kids....
We both knew it was over.....
We prepared ourselfs and our kids....
It just disn't happen all of a sudden.

This is why I don't date....
I'm not looking for someone like him....

Good question! I think we definitely lose a little part of ourselves with each person we
give OF ourselves to in a relationship, no doubt. It's how we deal with it after we break
up that determines how we will deal with it and how we will be in the future.

I dated a guy a few years ago that was always depressed and sad and complained that everyone around him made HIS life what it was. He wasn't responsible for his bad life of course. And he threatened to kill himself like every other week, especially if I had to cancel a date or couldn't see him for some reason. Funny thing is, I never cared. I hung the phone up on him many times during his little moments. He'd get pissed that I didn't chase after him and try to stop him and the wake up the next day like he didn't even remember it happening. Nut job.

I guess you and kawkasian are kind of saying we gain something from those who come into our lives even if they don't stay.
