Re:HOW DO YOU KNOW lemondrop: Betteroffalso,
"Is anyone elses faith destroyed?" YES
"I just cannot trust that anything is forever anymore..." ME EITHER
Sigh... I wish I had the answers... all I can think is that either this is how we'll be forever or we will change... I don't think we'll ever be dumb enough to love the way we once did (naiively, innocently, so trustingly) but I do think we will love again... I hope...
Hugs,
LD
Re:HOW DO YOU KNOW betteroffalso: Thanks Amola and LD, :)
Its nice to know I am not the only one going through, or that has gone through this. I do hope that this too shall pass. Its a leap of faith I am not ready to take right now, I guess that is natures way of telling me I am not ready yet. When I am , I guess I will just know, as others have told me. Hope so! Thank you for the encouragement!

Re:HOW DO YOU KNOW craez: i too am bitter at love and REALLY unable to trust anyone right now, especially myself. i obviously made a bad choice last time. i have to own that part of this mess. i picked him.
BUT i'm with bitterdino. i second everything he said. i WISH i had listened to my gut instinct the minute i met my ex. *sigh* oh, well. at least i have the ability to acknowledge what it is i did wrong. maybe i won't be doomed to repeat the same mistake again since i realize now i should have listened to myself more attentively. ARG! D@MNED HINDSIGHT!
Re:HOW DO YOU KNOW betteroffalso: Hey Craez,
So are you and bitterdino saying that if its the wrong person , there WILL be warning signs and we should listen to our gut. But, when it is the right person, there will basically be no warning signs that come up? They will just be the one? Is there a difference between warning signs and doubts? Do those that find love again have any doubts ever? I think everyone might have doubts, its natural, but where do you draw the line with them. How do you know "this is OK, and this isnt".......I just was so uttlerly blown away. I am bitter. Every time I see on TV or a movie where a man professes his love, or someone getting married, I just roll my eyes, and I am like "yeah right, thats what they all say, wait until you have 2 kids and 7 yrs later!" Isnt that horrible!

Re:HOW DO YOU KNOW AmyMarie1972: Hi,
Well I made a bad choice. I believed those vows, stuck with them and thought that they were forever. I believed him when he said that he could not live without me.
But I will not let that 1 jerk put me off from believing in that again. Just because he couldn't stick to those words doesn't mean the next man that comes along or the one after that wont.
What is life without love. I think that was Shakespear.
It is a leap of faith but there is someone out there that will be willing to take that leap with you. I believe that. He may have tried to destroy everything but he has not suceeded.
