I’ve noticed that all the comments left here are by girls. But what I need to let everyone know is that when this happens to a guy, it is even harder to deal with and accept.

The reason being is that society accepts a girl crying and feels bad for her. However, when a guy is seen crying, it is deemed as not being masculine or not something a ‘guy’ shoud do. The other reason is supportive friends. We all have friends, yet again, it is considered weak to consistently open up and share these feelings of hurt and suffering to your male friends than to female friends.

The point of this comment is for any guy that has been crushed, betrayed, torn apart on the inside, and has to cope with such a traumatic experience on their own. It is literally the most difficult thing I have ever dealt with, as I am experiencing the same emotions that Amy wrote in this article. I still have that copy of the 24 and read it to remember that eventually, I will move on. Thanks very much Amy for sharing this, as it provides some comfort when coping with such an empty emotional experience.

Oh God, your writings just struck me so deeply and made me think I can still get out of this mess I created for myself after the guy I used to think was going to be with me forever, left without clearing the air.
I still love him so very much but after reading you, I will start working things out differently.

Your writing is amazing. This post definitely struck a chord with me. In a way, I re-lived my personal experience just from reading it. My experience is actually quite similar to yours, but the reasons were different. I know how it feels to doubt oneself and be broken. But to bring yourself back from such a devastating experience is very empowering. And to look back at the past to see where you went wrong and to know better for next time, it’s comforting in a way. I’m glad to hear that you are content now and have accomplished so much in a year, you should proud of yourself!

From my experience, I learned that “love just isn’t enough” to keep two people together – it takes work.

It’s funny that you mention that old adage. I’ve always lived by it. It’s actually what got me through my experience. As I always say, everything happens for a reason even if you don’t know it at the time, but when the time comes for you to know why things happen the way they did, that is when you will understand and everything will make sense again.

Thank you for writing this. All the best to you dear! Things can only get better from here.

This is my absolute favourite quote from that book. It holds a lot of personal meaning for me. Great illustration
