Whenever I feel lonely, I always remember Rory's assertion "the only person who will be with you for the rest of your life is yourself". I am very proud of you Rory, u healed my heart in trying moment of heartbreak. Many thanks.

I’ve been single for 3 1/2 years because my breakup destroyed me and I was in no position to be in a relationship. Now I’m so secure and feel I regained my power and now I feel like I’m ready to choose for a guy from a strong place. 💪🏼

Hit the fucking like button I just gave up bro... I'm 34y old male from Brazil, in the spectrum, don't look bad but not good either... But I'm socially awkward. The fact I hate to interact with people coupled with rejections the few times I tried approaching women just got me to the point of saying f it...f it all... I'm one of those people who came in this world only to suffer, so be it. I go to the gym 6 times a week, work my ass off and at the end of the day, EVERYDAY I get drunk while gaming. Cause f it. I'm just done. Love your channel and advice Rory, to be perfectly honest, it's one of those things keeping me from going over the edge and taking action to clap myself out of the world permanently (can't say the word or mama Susan will yeet) That's why I do and say, every video, HIT THE FUCKING LIKE BUTTON

After 10 months of no contact my ex reacted out, she asked how I have been and that it hurts her not saying hello or being able to be near me as we just pass by each other without a second glance. She asked if I wanted to meet up and I said that wouldn't be a good idea as I'm dating someone new, I told my new G/F as I want to be honest with her and she got super angry about it as she said noone can lose feeling after being together for so long and only being broken up for not even a year

[@ThePronounI]

I am going to end up alone though. I'm too picky and unwilling to lower my standards because I was settling for too many years. 😂

[@bobwhomn]

This video came at a perfect time for me. Today I had to break up with someone who i have been involved with for about 10 months. She is a wonderful person, however she was coming out of a 30 year marriage in which there was cheating and emotional abuse... she has been used to one person for all of that time, and I am nothing like her ex. Sadly, it almost seems like she was in a time bubble in which she's just used to marital life. Dating is far different from marriage and I just felt like she was "out of time". We tried far too many times to count after silly arguments about stupid things. In the end, I know I am not the person she is really looking for... it is a painful moment, but I believe it is better for the both of us. Trust your gut people... it generally knows the right choice to make.

I remember watching TheLoveChat religiously after a 5 year relationship. I worked on myself and started dating (a lot). I felt so lonely after either not wanting the girl or her not wanting me. I then met my new ex, we broke up after a year and lived together. Best advice comes from this channel, be happy on your own, work on yourself for you. Be the best version of yourself, enjoy life!

[@lilasteeves3693]

I do all these things. I keep busy. I have a great tribe. I would like to have a partner. Lives in his own place. I would live in my own place. Ido not want to live with anyone. I have been on my own for a long time. Love your advice. Thank you.🎵🎶🎵🎶😄🤠

[@luum8573]

I do all these things, I'm in no contact for over a year. I got out of a friends with benefits situation AGAIN because he used to contact me after a couple of months and the cycle repeated. It's a lot more complicated than that but would take too long to explain. I have found new friendships along the way and I am more happy about my social life and my new job than ever before. And yet, I only feel Lust towards other men, never deeper emotions. I do get offers to date frequently but despite agreeing to go out there's nothing more I get out of it. I always hope that I accidentally meet somebody new but it doesn't seem to happen for me. Since I have been single most of the time I became a dating veteran, knowing when guys mess around or when we are too different to match quite early. It does not mean btw that I sleep with all these men haha My friends keep telling me I will be over my ex friends with benefits as soon as I have a crush on another guy, but I have trouble to feel deeper attraction towards somebody else. It messes a little bit with me that some of my friends just date for a few months and find somebody new who is compatible to them.

[@erikquint1989]

I think you would benefit from therapy. Your story does not make any sense.

[@ola467]

To me in fact this makes a lot of sense! I can relate and sympathise. Once having been vulnerable and having got burned it is scary to open up again to someone new

[@योगिताकेशवानी]

You have a soothing voice too

[@ThePronounI]

Good talk though. Keeping this in my downloads.

[@fredisland]

Hi there! I hope you are doing well and progressing while enduring the pain of the breakup. We can go through this, and we will find a way! I'm 5 months in, getting and feeling better with all the ups and downs. I'd appreciate if you can share any great articles, podcasts or videos (like this one from Rory) that helped you go through the hard stages. I'm building a newsletter and want to vet only the best content for the community. Thank you! Please stay healthy and keep growing!

[@fadzblumer]

Thank u Rory

[@ssingh2516]

Thank you. I broke up with my guy around 3 months back. We were about to get married but instead I initiated the breakup because I was left with no choice. Btw he is a very good human being with great values and loved me and treated we well. That is why forgetting him is even more tough. It's true I miss him everyday, I wish I could be with him, then I wish I could somehow forget him and move on faster. I believe whatever happens, happens for good and the next guy I will meet will be so much better that I will be grateful for my last breakup. But I do feel insecure and wonder what if I end up all alone. Even I wanna settle down, have a small loving family, my own kid, have someone to fall back on, etc. Its not easy but holding on and sometimes passing through each day in life helps. Hoping things will get better, pain will keep on reducing, life will be pleasant again, love will knock on my heart again. 😊

[@treyvonjohnson8397]

Why did u break up with him since was a good guy if you don’t mind me asking?

[@ssingh2516]

@@treyvonjohnson8397 the whole relationship had become extremely complicated 1. His family was against our relationship because our horoscopes( Indian stuff) didn't match. Although I am not superstitions but since family is a priority, I broke up with him and told him to move on a few times. But he fought and convinced his family. That took him around two years. Everytime I tried to move on, he came back and proposed in a new way. The third time finally things worked out and our families met, marriage was finalised. I could feel his mother and elder sister were trouble makers. I tried being loving, accommodating and supportive, the way it's taught in our culture. But the excuses, interference and trouble kept on increasing. I had to resign from my job and prepare to be a house wife. And I was ok with it since he gets deployed all over the country and being a military kid I understand the sacrifices one has to make as an army wife. My troubles increased when I realised that he never stops his family from interfering and he is too obedient to call out their nonsense and unjust demands. His mother demanded my brother's presence as a compulsion at our wedding. Although I wished everyone could come but my brother's deployment and leave were completely out of my hands. I started feeling his mother is intentionally putting conditions to sabotage our relationship and I caught him trying to convince me to adjust again and everytime, even if other's were wrong. I do believe in respecting elders but I don't believe in tolerating torture and nonsense in the name of respect and traditions. I could foresee my future mother in law and sister in law interfering in my marriage and taking away the peace from my married life again and again. I would have probably landed up getting a divorce because of them after around a decade. Secondly, I felt that he was taking me for granted and I was not a priority for him like earlier. I was ready to be second only to his duty towards the nation and no one else. I didn't expect him to ignore or leave his friends, family or colleagues for me but at least I deserved my respectful share of his life. No doubts he is a gem of a person, and we love each other a lot, but his family and his lack of spine, were taking away my peace of mind. I have not only lost my fiancee but also my best friend and it's extremely painful. Just holding on to each day and moving on waiting for the day the pain will completely disappear. BTW I cracked two job interviews today,ready to ace three more this week and at least restart my career soon. 😊

[@lifewithjennilee]

I’m not on dating apps, but I wonder if I wrote your intro on my profile and see what happens 😂

[@katarina1122331]

This problem is always in my mind. My ex, whom I truly loved, just dumped me 6 weeks ago. For the first time I felt happy in my last relationship. 1st guy who truly respected me. But he was avoidant, I'm anxious. Currently I'm working on myself. Finding someone good is extremely difficult. I have spent most of my life as single, what makes me tired. Few years of looking for someone, then failure in relationship, breakup and "here we go again" for the next few years, till I find someone... This wrong circle just ruins my self-esteem. I hate dating. I hate all these apps, speed dates, etc. The worst thing is I'm 34 yo woman, all of my friends are in relationships or married and I can't find anyone. That makes me feel lonely. I'm feeling completely like fish out of water. So yes, I think it's possible I will end up alone.

[@panditaerawan970]

My wife (7 years) slept with her ex after we get into big fight. I know it from her ex who texted me said that he loves my wife. I confronted my wife about this. She confessed all of it but without any regret at all. She blame all the fault to me. I'm in shock. I dont know what to do. I'm really stupid, i forgive her and still accept her. Today is her dad's funeral, the ex came, and talk to my wife at the funeral.. they giggle regardless me in front of them. I don't know what to do now. Please help.

You are a complete idiot if u still want her in your life, a complete idiot

Bro, this is the biggest disrespect I've ever heard. How can you forgive someone for doing that? I think it's time for you to cut ties and move on with your life. Work on yourself and you will find someone better.
