Yes, for a while, especially when being the person dumped! Now if you are the dumper, there would be no feeling of helplessness on your part. At any rate, after a while you get back on your feet and move on.

The relationship may be over, but your life isnt

There are times of pain and times of joy. Being active and creative will help a lot.
But one must also accept to admit the pain, to "mourn" and "bury" a loss mentally and to allow the spirit to recover.

I always loved my partners. So of course it is normal to feel down when you have a major break up. But I always said it needed to happen. With every break up I got closer and closer to the point when I met my beloved husband:) So no regret at all:)

There seems to be this big empty hole within oneself.

But life does go on..
It's only natural to feel sad, but just remeber that everything happens for a reason, that this too shall pass, and hopefully someday soon, you'll wonder why you felt so "helpless" in the first place.
Love stinks sometimes, but don't let that scare you from trying again with someone else.

I wouldn't say 'helpless' was how I felt. I felt utterly...uprooted and confused, i guess. I had been with the guy since I was fifteen, and he broke my heart at nineteen, so four years of loving him and then BAM, he was gone. It was really difficult in the beginning, but after six months or so, I realized I could do better, and I did.

What I think one feels for a while is EMPTINESS. But, life goes on, sooner or later someone will come along and make you whole again.

No, but then I have always been the one who ended it so that might have something to do with it. Usually I felt very free and relieved.

Not too long, however.. and it never incapacitated me. Always had responsibilities and couldn't succumb to histrionics.

Hard man when you just gave so many years to that person and everything goes down in a second and you not even know why... I don't believe in love anymore, people doesn't love, they just use you and toss you in the garbage... better be alone...

Sometimes relationships can end without a formal breakup. As is the case with my level 4 cervical cancer surviving wife. I've had to overcome the lonliness of marriage with no physical contact. So yes it hurts to break up & ends the relationship. But remember your life isn't. Best wishes 2 u!
