Breakup and Valentines Day - Before or After?

I think she meant it is as if they are "throwing it in your face" even though most people aren't doing this intentionally. One can't help but feel the void in their life on this hallmark holiday that shouldn't really mean anything but most every couple will be celebrating and it will be every where. It just rubs salt in the wound even though people don't mean to. This is why I call it international lonliness awareness day, most days I can just go about my day and not care but on Valentine's Day reminders are everywhere and I can't help but reminisce about having someone to have and to hold, to kiss, to cuddle, to laugh with and just be intimate with. It's the eye contact and warmth I crave the most.

Speaking from personal experience I had a 4 year relationship end abruptly because the girl wanted to "spare my feelings" spare them she did not basically to me it was "why would you lie to me to spare my feelings we are suppose to be in love and if we arent i should know, not be lied to when i say "i love you" before i leave.

The same thing happened to me. We're still friends somehow but I still harbor a lot of resentment towards her mostly regarding how things ended. I choose not to show it most of the time but one day I would probably like some answers of what the hell went wrong. Sometimes I also get the feeling she still has feelings for me too but that's not somewhere I want to go anytime soon. Either way, It's sort of effected my trust in women and people in general so I'm sticking with the idea that you should be honest from the get go if things aren't working out.

It's just a bad time to try to forget heartbreak when everyone is throwing their relationship in your face. Not that there is anything wrong with the other side enjoying themselves, but it sucks when you're trying just to numb yourself and forget.

It's the same to a lesser degree for people who are bitter and still in love with their ex.

And I know partnered people aren't rubbing it or throwing it in people's faces intentionally but it just sucks to have a bunch of reminders that you're single, especially when you're not over your last relationship.
