writes:How many times does a heart get mangled before you give up on love? It seems that so many trying events in life, made to knock us down, only make us seem stronger. But what if they just make us more fragile for the next time? What happens when the limit is reached? Do we give up? How does it feel to lose for the last time? The phrase 'there's plenty more fish in the sea' can't last forever, so what to do with ourselves after we fail. Should we try to hold out for that next relationship; Do we strive on through the tears and heart ache? Is it really necessary for life to end after that 'real' love has ended? The answer must lie somewhere. People can't be expected to end all once true love has gone; whether it just didn't work out or a loved one died. Is it right to wish for the end? Is it selfish? Yes or No. With each breakup it seems anger, hurt, resentment, insecurity and pain build up until the very last love. 'Why do life and love go on?' Reply to this Article

Anne-Marie x is verified as being by the original poster of the question Yeah it is understandable that those questions need to be asked. It is difficult to see the point in going on when relationships end terriably and when you finally pick yourself up to move on you get knocked down futher. You are very welcome and i am glad to have given you hope.

The main word in your article is "insecurity" it is the driving force in life and it ruins all relationships. Relationships are meant for growth. To have any sort of meaningful relationship it is imperative that one strives for complete honesty. this is very difficult and very confronting, but very rewarding.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 November 2009): Some really important questions there, of which I wonder if there is any answer. I have actually been asking those same questions myself. Is it worth it to love? To keep trying again? To have hope? Part of me says yes, it is. But another part of me just isn't so sure anymore.
How many times are we told, "You will meet someone out there. Not everyone is like that. Some people are nice and do care." So you meet more people, and get hurt all over again. What do we gain? What do we lose? Is the price worth paying? Will it make us stronger, or simply destroy us in the end?
I am so relieved to find that I am not the only one who has been asking questions like this, about whether life and love are worth it. Maybe we will find the answers someday? Maybe we never will? I think that as long as we have these questions though, there is some hope. Some willingness to keep trying, to find out more, even at the risk of being hurt again. The only thing I know is that it feels right for me, to keep going, to retain an open heart. I would like to close myself off at times, but although it feels like a relief, I don't feel right. It feels wrong somehow.
So whether there is any point, any sense at the end, I think we should try and do what we believe in, what we feel is right, no matter what that may be. You're not alone with these feelings and questions. I think they are the big questions most people wrestle and struggle with.
Your article has given me some hope anyway! Just to see that there are like-minded people out there, people who feel the same...thank you for sharing your thoughts. x
