Question - (5 May 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 5 May 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Over the past year and a half I have been the happiest I have ever been. I've always been happy, but now I am even happier.

A year and a half ago is when I met my boyfriend, best friend, my other half. See, our relationship is not the problem. We don't fight, we converse. We don't yell, we talk. Instead of worrying about problems, we solve them, move on, and keep living life while laughing every step of the way.

Lately though, we have been bombarded by outside influences that have made me feel insecure. Many say that true love doesn't exist, that everyone WILL hurt you down the line. They warn to not trust, as everyone will deceive you and hurt you. After close friends break things off with their significant others, they turn into complete strangers and are so rude to each other as if nothing had ever linked them before. How can they do that?

As much as I refuse to believe it, it gets to you after hearing it so much.

My boyfriend and I have discussed it and came to the conclusion that those people must have not really loved each other. We both can't see how someone could just do that to somebody they truly love.

So, we have discussed it, but others just won't quit with their negativity. It's really getting annoying!

My question(s):

Is there any truth behind what they say?

If what they are saying is not true, and they are saying it to bring negativity in our relationship, how can we block it all out?

We never want to feel insecure, or doubt each other in any way. What do you advice?

Thanks in advance!

No there is no truth behind what they say. They're just being bitter and angry about their own lives and moaning about it.

It's normal OP, if this is not your first relationship then you know what it's like to break up and how it feels. You feel like shit and you blame everyone and everything for what went wrong. Now your friends could be going through break ups or they're still bitter from past experiences, it's just bitterness nothing more and it's probably not even meant to mess with you. I think you're just taking it far too seriously and letting it worry you for nothing.

I mean I have loads of friends that are like that, especially after a break up. I know a few girls aswell that are like that because they're single and can't make a relationship work, so they're bitter and resentful.

OP why the hell are listening to that stuff and why are you taking it so seriously? You know they're wrong, your relationship is proof of that so what else do you need?
