The gem moons I know flit from place to place and even though I might not understand their way of feeling, they do have feelings. It's just processed a different way than most. So gem moons, how do you deal with heart break? Do you clam up? Talk to more people? Just explode then go back to normal? How long do you deal with heart break? A few months? Years? Under what circumstances would you grieve longer or harder?

How long does it last? A few days until you make up your mind? Don't you ever feel guilty for not feeling sad longer?


I feel guilty for the lack of emotional depth. Man, what's up with emotional peer pressure and conformity? Am I alive in the right century?

I realized my peversity a long time ago... laughing at tears... someone slammed someone's hand in the car door. But, the bond when I find someone like me! Quietly and hysterically laughing while leaning against each other like a teepee trying not to rotfl.

The end of relationships... first "feeling" is relief. Lawd, my exit strategy needed work.

I'm glad that you're having a social life again after recovering from what happened. I hope that over time you'll be able to trust women again -- not all women, of course, just the trustworthy ones, because they definitely exist. :-) I can relate to how hard it is when you do everything right but something goes wrong all the same. Maybe the person you were involved with was very troubled -- emotionally and/or mentally messed up -- so that skewed things.

Yea, it was my fault to even go into the relationship. I should've thought about it, but I was swept up because I was in love with her for so long. She got married young and offed and disappeared. Years later, she pops up with a baby and somehow managed to find me and restart an old fire. A red flag that I completely ignored was knowing she was married and going back and forth between our homes. So when she got bored of me, well, you know the deal :/

That's rough. :/ It sounds like you've been through the hardest stuff emotionally with that now, so you can go onto better happier times. :-)

Seriously I know right?? Everything literally feels better now. I'm much more at peace with myself now then I was before. I'll love a little harder next time for the right girl and treat her like I'm gonna lose her.

That's great! Free at last. :-) As hard as it was, a good thing has definitely come out of it with you figuring out how to approach things with people you meet from hereon in. I've had to do that too after a difficult relationship that I shouldn't have been in as long as I was.

Sag sun, gem moon here. I do have emotions, but my mind has more control over my life.

The last major heartbreaking experience I had was the death of my father. How did I process that? I find myself grateful for the people I have who love me. I allowed them in. I let them guide me back to happiness. They listened and when it felt right, they made me laugh. I didn't feel the guilt for it like I did when my mom passed in my teen years. I knew my father wanted me to move on and be happy. With my mom, I was so young that I wallowed through the grief process for years. But what got me through? Life. Living.

With heartbreak on a romantic field...I allow the pain. I feel it, but then I think to myself the reasons it happened. I try to build myself into a better form. I think of how sweet the revenge will be when I see that other person and they learn how strong I am without them. As long as I cut them off completely, this process is fairly quick. If I hang on and try to do the friend thing, I find it harder to let go of my feelings for them and focus more on them than myself. Letting them go is much easier if I focus my thoughts on the hard times with them.

People say I lack emotional depth or I dissociate from my feelings. I like to think of it as more of controlling my thoughts, which allows me to better control my emotions.

'The best way out is always through.' - Robert Frost

That's the phrase that comes to mind when describing how I handle it.

I allow myself to feel it in it's fullest, even though that involves difficult emotions. I get support if needed, take breaks from the pain when possible (without running from it) and eventually the worst of the pain lessens and fades.

The mental/rational part involves looking at both sides of the relationship, as much as I can, so I don't repeat mistakes I've made with how I handled anything - all I can do is work on my side of things and go onto better relationships hopefully.

How long that takes varies depending on how bad the heartbreak is. There isn't any relationship I've been in that ended that shouldn't have ended, that much I can say for sure. By that I mean that the differences were irreconcilable. I tried my hardest to make things work always. There was usually nothing so negative that things couldn't end on good terms. I only have one ex I wouldn't want to run into anywhere because he was mentally ill last I knew.

The gem guy with gem moon won't respond to me, turned off his messenger for two days. After meet up the other day.

We haven't seen each other in a long time, n he said he missed me n to come see him.

I was at his place all day. Before I left we had sex n he seem upset cuz he didnt finish & I left without saying anything. He knows I had moved in my daughters father recently cuz I have no where else to live.

Not sure how he feels but why did he turn off his messenger? Is he hurt or trying to avoid me?
