www.conversely.com/ asked its readers to describe their most painful breakup and how it has affected their life. This is what some of them answered:
Howard: I couldn't sleep for weeks, I didn't have an appetite for food, the whole experience of the breakup made me want to never trust and love anyone again.
Belle: I became an "I can work anytime" retail workaholic, a non-writing writer and I cried every night for a month.
Lisa: I lost my job, decided to take a drive and ended up about a hundred miles out of town with no money, out of gas and fed up. Walked another twenty miles to a phone and realized if I could make it out of this alive, I could make it without him.
Janet: I had a spiritual awakening because I woke up one day with complete acceptance, saying out loud: "He left me," and really believing it.
Cheryl: After drowning in my sorrows for a month or so, to show him, but not to get him back, I had a breast augmentation, started working out and changed my hair style to something much more flattering.
Whitney: I moved 1,500 miles south to live in the sun, dyed my hair red to cover a new scar (don't ask), began to date both out of my species ("dogs and pigs") and now out of my race (Love whom God has placed in your path); and began to laugh like I used to as a little girl.
Peyton: I left my husband of seven years to be with someone that I met online. Now, this guy isn't even with me anymore and I gave up everything for him.
Terri: I destroyed things when I found out he was living with another woman. Went to his place, slept with him in their bed, then called her and told her about it.
Jandro: I quit my job, exiled myself to South America and wrote a sixteen page manifesto on the evils of womankind.
Howard: I couldn't sleep for weeks, I didn't have an appetite for food, the whole experience of the breakup made me want to never trust and love anyone again.
