Why does the end of a passionate short-term romance sometimes feel more devastating than a longer-term relationship? We get addicted to the feeling of intensity they give us, and feel empty when they disappear.
So, yesterday, I did a session with my Love Life Club members, and there was a particular story that spoke to me that I wanted to share with you. This person had been seeing a guy for two months, and it had been this incredible romance over that time. And in these two months, the attraction, the connection, the chemistry, dare I say, the love, became very, very intense.
At the end of those two months, this person that she had met, who had always planned to go traveling, left to go traveling. And in the process, she had hoped that maybe it would become a long-distance relationship, maybe she could go with him for part of it. But in her mind, there was no way that this incredible thing that had been happening for two months would not go on.
This was too good. We have something too special here. And the state that she was talking to me in was one of being truly devastated. As I was talking to her, she was extremely upset and teary.
How could you give this up? I did an interview recently with the number one expert in the world on grief, David Kessler. And so, our broken heart is our broken heart. Her heartbreak was extremely real to her. Let me know: What was your situation? How long was it? Did it surprise you? Was it shocking to you that you could be that brokenhearted over something that was so short-lived? But something about it, it hit you on a deep level. And maybe you can relate to this. I had such fireworks with this person.
