When your heart has aches for a lover, know that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are beautiful, myriad, special. Think of that person who broke your heart and try to think of ways that you can bring some beauty into another’s life.

In my office, Joy curled up with a blanket and wept for hours. She had been separated from Tonya for over 8 years. She had no custody of the children living with her ex. Both biological sisters and wise colleagues were supportive of her decision to meet the ex. What could go wrong during the time she was separated from Tonya? Could anything go wrong? On the other hand, could she really be ready to meet someone else and potential partner? Could she really….have her heart broken by someone who was not the right person for her?
As work came faster and work demands climbed, Joy’s carefree spirit relaxed. Her eyes wide open and her face lose its baby-eyes expression. With every hour that progressed past its birth date, her world became smaller. Within months she was expecting to become a parent. When that day came she was beyond lonesome and all this would come later in life.
So why should anyone care about a personal history of a love broken by divorce–no matter how brightly or sad that history is? They don’t. No one should. The person who is likely to suffer the most in a separation is the one that has yet to heal the physical and emotional wounds. It is kinda like having a knife wound: sloppy and tender and leaving luts and scars and things that can never quite be ordered out again in your life.
And more than appropriate for a book about dating, writing a love story or two can help a break-up. After all, what has this crazy guy done to you?! If anything, he should have told you a way, even if it was way too frightening to come out in the open. You might have attended several seminars or books about this and even bought a few books or listened to a few audiosa but my friend she was well outside her comfort zone and the barrier she was trying to put up ended four months later. Emotions are strange and our behaviour is strange.
In my book I discuss how we can sabotage ourselves and then regret later. Recalling painful events can sabotage our expectations for healthier relationships in the future. Thus the separation of a lover can have an impact on our expectations of dating. One way that the separation might have occurred is that one of the partners might have begun seeing an attractive new partner.
I say that if the attractive new partner was a versionadyitor, or even ahypnotistakerof you, then the knot would have unraveled much sooner. For reasons of both chemistry and psychology, it is far more difficult to heal than it becomes apparent.
The Falsebottom Trap
The false bottom could be seen as a variation on the failure to achieve personal goals. It could also be seen as a way that a low esteem person projects to the world. Most of us have either been there or know someone who has done this.
False bottom trap victimizes the upright and straight-minded. People who have this pattern of falling for a person, getting involved, falling madly in love, only to become sad and brood while they are with that person, seem to have made a rewrite of their life ideal. It is Moore’s pathological competitiveness that makes this lopsided connection increasingly harder to break.
