The book offers extensive coverage of the physical basis of high-voltage engineering, from insulation stress and strength to lightning attachment and protection and beyond. Typical examples are automotive ignition systems, cathode ray tubes as found in oscilloscopes and television sets. A schematic representation of a typical power system is shown in Fig. An important relationship in connection with power transmission is the following: S = √3 V I (figure 1.1) with S as apparent power in kVA, V as line-to-line voltage in kV and I the line current in A.[/info_box] This equation clearly shows that, in order to transmit a fixed amount of kVA over a transmission line, a higher voltage is preferable as it results in lower currents. The lower currents are desirable as the losses and voltage drops due to the conductor resistance are lower. This permits the use of thinner conductors. Figure 1.1 – Schematic representation of a power network The use of higher voltages introduces a number of new aspects that have to be taken into account in order to prevent current leakage or flashover due to inadequate insulation. In general all metals are conductors of electricity due to their higher conductivities, with copper and aluminium being the cost-effective choices. Non-metals are generally non-conductors of electricity, i.e. Insulating materials. These include gases in their non-ionized state – air at atmospheric pressure being the most generally applied substance of this type. Pure, deionised water is also an insulating material, but minute quantities of dissolved inorganic salts turn it into a conductor, despite the fact that the salt crystals are insulators when dehydrated. Organic matter, such as wood, is also a good insulator when dry, but becomes conducting when moist. The properties of a number of substances are given in Table 1.1. From this table air at atmospheric pressure is an obvious choice as an insulating material. This resulted in the widespread use of high voltage overhead lines and outdoor substations. It is however still necessary to support the high voltage conductors mechanically. For this purpose porcelain and glass have given good service as support or suspension insulators. These insulators then appear parallel to the air insulation that surrounds the bare conductor. The interface between the porcelain or glass and air turns out to be a vulnerable region. Table 1.1 – Properties of Conductors and Insulating Materials Table 1.1 – Properties of Conductors and Insulating Materials In metal clad gas insulated systems (GIS), sulphur hexafluoride gas ( SF6) is used as the main insulating medium. In addition, solid materials such as porcelain, glass and polymers are also used to support the high voltage conductors. Transformers and other equipment use mineral oil, either on its own or in combination with linen or paper. In a properly designed system the above mentioned insulation systems should be able to perform reliably under normal voltage conditions as well as under. The main factor that may cause failure of insulation is overstressing, i.e. Applying an electric field to the material that exceeds its capabilities and induces failure. Typically, air at atmospheric pressure is a good insulator and a gap consisting of electrodes without sharp protrusions can easily withstand 20 kV/cm. However, at 30 kV/cm the air in the gap becomes ionized and breaks down, leading to a flashover, accompanied by a high short circuit current. Lightning develops similarly when the build-up of electric charge in the cloud causes field conditions, leading eventually to a massive discharge in the form of a high current to ground.

![]() ![]() • Pros Compact, rounded design. Speedier than previous model. 4GB internal storage. Built-in Bluetooth audio support. • Cons Screen lacks edge lighting. Lacks headphone jack, memory card slot, and ePub support. Not waterproof. • Bottom Line At $79.99, Amazon's entry-level Kindle is the best option for budget ebook readers, but you'll need to add a book light for nighttime reading. The latest Amazon Kindle is thinner, lighter, and, well, whiter—although a black version is still available if that suits your fancy. It's also the least expensive in Amazon's lineup at $79.99 (with ads). Upgrades from the previous model include increased memory (for speedier performance), as well as a design that's more rounded, and built-in Bluetooth audio support so you can pair it with your favorite wireless headphones or speakers. There are also a few new reading features, but the entry-level template is otherwise unchanged, and this Kindle still doesn't have a lighted screen. Overall, we prefer the for its bright edge lighting, high-resolution screen, and speedy performance—these features make it worth the extra cost, and our Editors' Choice. ![]() The display uses the same 6-inch, 167-pixel-per-inch resolution touch screen as the last Kindle, which looks fine, but it's nowhere near as sharp as the 300ppi screen on the, Kindle Oasis, Kindle Paperwhite, or Kindle Voyage. Text can look a bit blurry from far away, but sentences snap into focus when you hold the Kindle about a foot away. And once again, there is no edge lighting, so you'll want to add a book light if you want to read in a dark room. There's more bezel on the bottom than the top, which is the opposite of the Paperwhite's design. And unlike the Oasis or the, there are no page turn buttons on the left or right sides of the bezel, which is fine, considering the is perfectly usable for turning pages and navigating the interface. Like the rest of the Kindle lineup, this reader lacks waterproofing. If you want to take an ebook reader in the tub or to the beach, you're better off with the or the Kobo Glo HD. Features and App Store The Kindle comes with a micro USB cable, but no power adapter. Inside, there's the same 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM (twice the amount of the previous Kindle) you'll find in the Paperwhite and Oasis. It connects with 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, so you can download ebooks to its 4GB of internal storage. As noted previously, 3G connectivity is not an option in this model. There's no external memory support either, but free cloud storage lets you access your ebook collection across any device that can download the Kindle app. When you turn the Kindle on, you'll see toolbar icons at the top of the screen for Home, Back, Quick Actions, Goodreads, Store, Search, and Menu. Below the toolbar is a list of the three most recent books you've downloaded or opened on the left side, Reading Lists on the right side, and Recommendations on the bottom. Tapping Quick Actions reveals options for Airplane Mode, syncing, more options for Wi-Fi networks, passcode management, and parental and language options. The battery life indicator, Wi-Fi signal icon, and time of day are all in the upper right corner, above the toolbar. The Kindle doesn't offer anything too different in the way of features over the previous model, but there some significant additions that improve accessibility and convenience. Now, you can highlight passages and transfer them as PDF files directly to your email, in case you want to refer to your notes later, without the Kindle in-hand. Bluetooth audio support is now integrated so visually impaired readers can navigate the Kindle interface and listen to or a paired with the Kindle. To setup VoiceView, go into Settings > Device Options > Personalize Your Kindle > VoiceView Screen Reader. From there, you just enable the feature and make sure your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, and then follow the on-screen instructions. I paired the Kindle with the speaker in under a minute, and listened to a robotic voice read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West. Some words, like 'widebrim,' were mispronounced, but for the most part, the feature works well. A tutorial can teach you how to use Kindle with VoiceView's spoken guidance, and you can adjust how fast words are spoken, adjust the volume, and add, remove, and view available Bluetooth audio devices. Dec 19, 2017 Amazon Kindle. Amazon Mobile. The Kindle app puts millions of. Sync Your eBooks—The Kindle app. So Kindle ebooks still have some room to grow yet. There are millions of Kindle ebooks on Amazon, but there are 10 times as many books available. So Kindle ebooks still have some room to grow yet. Feb 22, 2009 SEBASTOPOL, Calif. -- The Amazon Kindle has sparked huge media interest in e-books and has seemingly jump-started the. Kindle eBooks Store. The Amazon.com Kindle Store offers a vast selection of Kindle eBooks so you can indulge in your love of reading. Escape to another world in a. How can the answer be improved? The VoiceView feature also works with the Kindle Paperwhite, but you need a separate accessory to add Bluetooth functionality. Amazon has also added a Page Flip feature to the Kindle ecosystem, which lets you view multiple pages of a book at once so you can skim back and forth without losing your place. There's also Chinese language support for the Word Wise feature, which lets you view definitions of words as you read. The battery in the Kindle will last 'for weeks, not days' according to Amazon, based on 30 to 45 minutes of reading per day. So, if you're a voracious reader you may want to keep that micro USB cable handy. The longest battery life we've seen belongs to the Kindle Oasis, thanks to its dual-battery design that provides up to nine weeks of battery life on a single charge. Reading and Conclusions Reading on the Kindle is a lot like reading an actual book, at least when it comes to viewing its screen. Since there's no lighting, you can only see words on the display when you have light from an outside source. That said, the Kindle works fine in most situations. I read Blood Meridian, The New Jim Crow, and Planet of Slums while dodging pedestrians on the sidewalk, in direct sunlight, on the bus, on the train, and while waiting for the subway, without issue. But when it came time for bedtime, I had to turn my bedside lamp on in order to see the screen. Tapping the edges of the screen turned pages quickly, but sometimes the thin bezel caused my wide thumb to accidentally page-turn or highlight words, but it wasn't a persistent problem. The new Kindle is the best ebook reader you can get for the least amount of money, especially if you don't care about edge lighting or have less than $100 to spend. If you have a little more room in your budget, though, the Kindle Paperwhite, our Editors' Choice, delivers a stronger value proposition overall. For $120, you get a sharper screen with built-in lighting, and a better build, but you won't get the Bluetooth audio support. ![]() If money is no object, the Kindle Oasis, with its built-in accelerometer, physical buttons, and included leather charging cover, delivers the richest ebook reading experience, but it will cost you more than twice as much as the Kindle.

Just about everyone reaches out to be loved,. To love is to be vulnerable and therefore easily hurt by the people we love the most. God designed us to love, for He is love Himself. Not to love causes a certain death deep inside of us. I received a comment this week from an anonymous person. He said, “I have a better piece of advice: Don’t ever fall in love in the first place.

Allow yourself to be human and feel the pain. Immediately take your broken heart to God. Give yourself time to heal. Learn lessons from the experience. Be carefuldon’t date destructive people to begin with. Don’t overreact and embarrass yourself. Don’t over analyze. Don’t go into rebound dating. Let go of mementos. Keep yourself busy by giving to others. Take Care of yourself physically 14. It’s mostly about you, not your ex 15. Move on Some things on this list are warnings of things to avoid, some are ways to move on, but today I want to look at those things that will help you heal. 6 Steps to Healing a Broken Heart: Take heart, you will get through this. Having your heart broken over a relationship is going to hurt. You could lose your appetite. You could lose your desire to do much of anything but lay in bed and ache. You may feel shortness of breath from crying. Your ribs may ache. Your eyes may swell. It’s almost like your heart will burst. Confusion might rule your brain. You might feel as bad as you have ever felt. It seems no one can help you. But you will get through this.These intense symptoms begin to subside a little bit at a time, just not soon enough for you. The problem is you may be letting this one event blind you so you cannot see the good things happening in your life. Like the old retro song goes, “I can see clearly now the rain is gone.” There is a reason there are so many songs written about a broken heart. Consider the tens of millions who have gone through what you’re experiencing. They made it and so will you. So take heart and hold on. Talk to someone who cares. I heard someone say once that 90% of good counseling is just talking out how you feel. It’s amazing how much better you feel when there’s someone you can talk to who totally understands what you’re going through. The person you are sharing with is like a human crutch to help you through a time of brokenness. It’s kind of like when a guy gets hurt on the football field injuring his knee. Two of his teammates get around him and help carry him off the field. That’s what happens when you have a broken heart. When someone is there, they can help strengthen you when you hurt the most. The people who suffer the most from heartbreak are those who have no one to help them.The wisest man in the Bible, King Solomon, said, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” So find a friend or family member, someone you can trust to keep your secrets, and talk it out. You’ll be glad you did. “Talking to someone who you know and trust will help you greatly. A pastor or just a great friend who maybe is older than you and has more experience with heartbreaks is wonderful. They tell you how they lived and moved on and help you out very much.” (Kaitlyn) Allow yourself to be human and feel the pain. One of the ways we know we are human and truly alive is that we feel pain. Going through a break-up can be very difficult and touch raw emotions. This proves we are human. It is extremely important to let those raw emotions out. Find a safe place where you are comfortable and if possible, let the tears flow. It is our body’s way of ridding itself of the pain and hurt. There was a hit awhile back called “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie. Big girls are really healthy girls when they show emotion. Some people run from their hurts when really they should embrace them. It’s only when we feel our pain are we able to honestly deal with it and move on. If we don’t, that pain will reappear somewhere else, usually in an unhealthy way. “No one wants to be hurt, and when we are, our first instinct is to block it out. Unfortunately, the best ways to block something like that out is through destructive behavior like substance abuse, cutting, and the like. Even worse, the release doesn’t last and you end up worse off than you were before.” (Jonathan) Take your broken heart to God. There are those who may think this bit of advice is needless. Nothing could be further from the truth. You and I were created to love and be loved. When we get down to it, all we really want is to know there is someone who knows all about us and still loves us no matter what. Only God can love us this way. When we have that foundation of knowing we are loved no matter what, we can have the strength to face rejection from others. Only God can give us a deep sense of being loved because He always does, no matter what. It says in the Old Testament of the Bible, I have loved you with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. Tell God everything you feel about your broken heart. He is there to listen and to help heal you. “It is very important to go to God after you’ve had a bad relationship. God is the ONLY one who will heal your broken heart.” (-Osman) Give yourself time to heal. If your heart has been broken, it will take time for you to completely heal. At the time of the break-up, almost everyone thinks they will never feel normal again. But God has designed us so we will heal from wounds. It’s amazing to see how our human spirit comes back again. Some people heal faster than others. Some people’s emotions go deeper than others. The deeper your emotions, the longer it will take to heal. Again and you will learn to accept this new feeling. Don’t fight the healing process and you will be on your way to smiling again in no time. So be patient with yourself. You will get through this. “The best thing in the world for a broken heart is time. It’s going to hurt for a while and some days will be better than others, but you will eventually get over the person you lost.” (Lindsey) Learn lessons from the experience. It’s not if difficult things will happen to us. It is inevitable that they will. The question is can we learn from the experience? If we don’t learn, we will keep doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same response. So during this time of hurt, you might want to ask yourself some meaningful questions about your broken relationship. For example: • Did you fail to communicate openly? • Were you insensitive to your partner’s feelings? • Were you too possessive or selfish? • Were you dishonest in the relationship? • Am I learning how other people can be hurt? Answers to these and other questions can help you be a much deeper person, better equipped for your next relationship. “It is always easy to remember that life goes on, no one promised it would be easy, but everything happens for a reason.

Stay strong and if you need anyone to talk to although you don’t know me I am here. The pain is temporary and this storm too shall pass. WowI am sitting here reading this blog and the comments below..the fact that you have cancers is all the more reason for me to minister the healing power and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ! He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds! My “break up ” is a little different..I was not married to the person who kinda,broke my heart. I was simply “involved” to a degree. When I met this person they expressed interest.strong interest in my opinion in me. He did things for me and tended to me like no other man ever hadit felt good.God told me not to open the door and Many nights I cried out to Him,to help me not to.but in the end I yielded to the flesh. And we played cat and mouse for the last four months.IT WAS NOT WORTH IT!!! Satan came in and stole everything I had been belIeving God for and the guy left with his girlfriend. Yes I knew he had one.but my own lust for what I wanted entered in and blinded me.I feel a whole lot better talking about it nowtoday God gave me a dream that he would go on with his girlfriend and I would be left. But its okay..better to receive this warning and be able to leave cut and dry than to go on in foolishness and sin against God that could lead to a,whole lot worse..thanks for letting me get this out. I feel 100% better and thanking God for my Victory! Now I can help others like you ladies and walk in my REAL Call of destiny! OMG I’m so glad I found this blog, you have no idea. I read your story and I immediately felt a connection. I am recently divorced and during the ends of my marriage, I started seeing this guy. At first it was just a physical thing with no feelings involved, but he kept doing things to make our “thing” relationship like. I fought it for a while, but I kept seeing him because it felt so right. He eventually kept asking me to come over and even asked if i wanted to move in and I really considered it, but like something was not going to go right. So eventually I gave inland started acting as if I was his girlfriend, I practically lived there, we went to work together, gym, and even cooked together. Some times on the weekend we’d stay in locked up in our room watching movies, joking, and laughing all day. It was wonderful. But then, one day he told me that he didn’t want to hurt me, but he was still in love with his ex. My heart was crushed, but I sucked it up and told him it was over and that we could end this. He said he didn’t want to and went on about how he didn’t want to lose me and that he cared about me a lot but he was still in love with his ex. I decided that I would grab all of my stuff and leave. I told him that I understood what he was going through and that I totally understood how he was feeling and that he should talk to her and try to work it out. In the back of my mind, i didn’t really mean it, but I felt like that was what he needed to here. So over the next few days he continued to message me and tell me about how he might be making a mistake and it broke my heart even more. All I could think was that he was stringing me along. So I told him that we should both move on and he said we shouldn’t because he didn’t want to lose me. We talked and talked, but i don’t think either of us really expressed our true feelings because we only talked through text. Today we talked because he was going home to talk to her and I felt myself feeling rather bitter so I said some mean things. Then I asked him to tell me the truth about things and he stopped replying. I figured it was because I had said a few negative things, but it truly broke my heart all over again. Now I’m just confused. I know I need to let him go completely, because he’s doing nothing but causing me grief, but I don’t know how to do it and I really have no one to talk to. I am in a stale lifeless marriage. Over 25 years. Christian woman too. I stepped out of my marriage for relief and comfort. Leaving me to do things I am not proud of. Claimed to get divorce when kids grew up and they have. Met someone he 6 myths ago,wasn’t interest but he pursued me.he assumed I was free because I am in a sense bcuz my husband won’t take me anywhere, spend time with me, gives no emotional or affection. Anyway, after a few mini dates I told my friend I was married but it was a dead marriage and I wanted a divorce. He was hurt but said we were OK and would go slow through it together. He was married for 20 yes divorced now for 4 yes. I thought things were fine until one week ago we were plannj g to do something special for my birthday, time passed a d he wouldn’t take my calls, I was confused. He answered my text saying he is careful not to get too involved with a legally attached person,and feels uncomfortable. I wasnt and not in love with in. But I felt we could build in that, he tells me to get my business straight, and he’s not saying goodbye, we will always be friends. I feel he deserted. I am trying to move on,dreading having a sad Christmas. Living a fake life around people. Talk to me a anybody •. I read this blog and it helps me a lot. First and foremost allow me to tell you my story. I am a christian woman who is still moving on. I met my ex on Google when I browsed and his profile picture captured my attention since he is holding the bible.I told to myself I want to learn from this man because i think he is full of wisdom. In short I added him and he chatted me the same day too. He told me that he is from new zealand and looking for a wife. Humbly speaking while on the conversation he find me beautiful and he think that i am a good girl for him which i acknowledged as a fault because i quickly jump into a relationship with him.The Bible says:for those who rush things are a fool and destruction at the end. I was blindly captured by his sweet promises during that time, we agreed that he will go to my country to meet me, but his mom decided to go last may 2015 to see me and she got a ticket for him and for his sister. I didn’t demand and told him that I think november is good so that we will know each other thoroughly but his mom insisted to visit me. As a human being I am excited also during that time and when I consulted my loved ones they were hesitant to agree for the idea since i didn’t know them well plus they came from different country, because I am a hardheaded and my feelings overruled me during that time i still insisted that it’s good and they are also a christian. My faults again were:they are oneness pentecostal who didnt believe in the trinity and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ but i still accepted it though I know the true doctrine of salvation. Secondly, I didn’t researched about his past, about the girls that his family dumped as well. And lastly, i was overwhelmed that I forget the will of God in my life and din’t remember Him in the entire relationship and even committed lots of sins. They arrived here and we met, he promised a lot, marrying me, go back here again. He left with tears and so I am.He even promised to my family and friends. Few days after he went back to his country, his patience towards communication became lesser and lesser, His decision relied always to his mom and dad, my mom and dad said, my parents told me. He has many ambitions, to have a beautiful home, lots of money and many more that suffocates me totally since i only want a simple life. Until we had some arguments that ended up in crying for me and yelling on his part because i want to talk and he doesn’t. Until one day that his parents told him that we should move on because it’s the best for both of us and he should stabilize first his life according to his dad. I was surprised, i cried and he console me and said that okay we will not break up. Hoping that the relationship works though it’s toxic already we decided to continue for a month still until his parents again told us that we should move on instead and start a new life. I prayed before i left him, tears in my eyes while doing it. Why did they did it to me? What is my fault? They said that I should look someone here and long distance relationship sucks. I told them, i can come up with myself there, i don’t need your money. They refused and i felt like a rags that after they use me they throw me away. I have a lot of explaination but his parents wanted us to move on easily. I asked him why you should rely your decisions in your life from your family? He said they are wise, we should listen to a wise counsel.I told him, I have nothing to do with your family. I moved on, his last message that still lingering in my mind until now is: undo everything I already moved on and so are you. I truly have.he said that after 2 days.: so painful. God is good he helped me and had some good times with my churchmates and dwell in the verse that all things work together for good. I have my feeling that his mom find someone for him there, I assumed that and her nationality is like with mine as well, during that time i have no evidences and only in my head are vivid imaginations until one time I saw a video of his engagement to other girl and the one that i imagined was perfectly happened. It’s only one month since we broke up and i found it so stupid and idiot. I watched the whole video and didn’t cry i am shaking and said: Lord please do the justice for me ind due time in Jesus name Amen! Afterwards i went to my friend’s house and upon arrival I hugged him and cried. I also called my family and cried ans said: I didnt cry because of the love that I have for him I cried because i felt that they betrayed me, abandoned me and cheated on me. It was only happened yesterday actually. I now realize that my ex didnt love me but he was only attractive to me and wanted to sleep next to me. My family and friends were very angry and they want to kill him. But I said that give it to God and he will settle the score someday.My brother is a police officer and he wanted to discipline him. I dont know if they research the place but I live nearby to the place of the girl as well. I can’t sleep last night actually the video is still lingering in my mind but I prayed and prayed and sings hymnals. By God ‘s grace i want to move on so quickly, I dont want to trap in this kind of feelings. Kindly pray for me. 2 weeks ago a girl I loved more than any1 ever, said let’s be friends. I was devastated. Have been having morning tremors and irregular sleep for 2 weeks. The sadness is so bad, but seems to go away only when she text me back as friends. She was divorced, and holding back, I have never married and gave my full heart. I miss her and her 3 kids so much. Now I just can get by with hoping to say hi at church. I changed my whole lifestyle around her, lost 20lbs, changed my music, so much, and now I’m home alone and can’t reenter my single lifestyle very good. I can’t even think about any other girl. When the pain hit’s hard in the morning, I feel like i have to be around someone to ease the pain. I know I don’t need medicine, as when she replies by text, all the pain goes away for a day. Im hoping to wean from her with little steps. Hey Ryan i just started to go thru what your going and i feel your pain bro. I started dating this girl from church shes the pastors daughter and shes divorced because her ex went into drugs and then to jail. Just today in the am she texted me that she cant do it anymore, she said its to much pressure, she said its not from me that im awesome and that when shes with me everything feels good. But she just cant. Now im hurt and still have to see her at church. I told her i would respect her decision and that i felt peace but that only lasted for a bit it just started to hit me. That pain hope it goes away soon •. Hang in there Anon4. The update I have is not good. I’m learning men handle heartbreak wayyy worse than women. Men take it so hard internally when women can shake this sort of thing off which seems kinda cold but it’s just the way it is. The pain of breakup did reduce, but my spirit is still crushed, and motivation and joy is nearly gone. Several times thoughts enter the mind to end it all, but I wont do that. I read the pain must not outweigh the coping abiilty. Also read alot about Oxytocin withdrawal being like real drugs. Much of the time I feel intense emotional pain, I seek out God but seem to get minimal relief. I must have ruminated to 120 people by now, it adds up and people repel after awhile. What is really bad is when you need love the most, like when your depressed, no one is going to want you the most then. It seems not fair that when you need someone the most, it’s the hardest time to find love. It feels like my life is shrinking into a smaller and smaller bubble, cant’ go anywhere or listen to music, or watch any movie as it causes memories and emotion take over. And the worst thing is she wont speak to me and wont’ tell me why, when the last thing she said was she wanted to be freinds. It’s like 2 heartbreaks, one for the relationship, and one for the freindship. Losing the friend part was even harder. Now she made up lies in her head about me and started believing them, when all i ever did was love. She had said I’m too emotional as to the breakup, she would’nt undrestand that it was temporary as that’s what happens when u fall in love. Hey Ryan, I know exactly how you feel. About 5-6 years ago my ex of 2 years had broken up with me. She was my first everything. I was consumed by depression for 7-8 months. I lost a total of 50 lbs. I couldn’t eat for those months. It was my fault that the relationship ended. Having the feeling of regret is the worst pain. About a year after my breakup I met another woman. Ended up having 2 kids with her, two beautiful boys. Been together for 4 years now just recently the relationship ended. I’m going through it all over again buddy. If I can make it through the first one I can do it with this one and I know you can do the same. Hi Ryan, I know you wrote this 7 months ago and I hope that you have already moved on. If I read this 7 months ago, I would have scoffed and tell you to be a man. But now that I experienced this kind of pain, I could only shake my head. I fell in love with a guy I hooked up with. How stupid could that be? Unfortunately, I’m just a hook up for him and wanted us to just be friends. At first, I thought that I should just give him time and he’ll eventually fall inlove with me. I changed my whole lifestyle for him too. I gave him everything I couldas in everything. But it’s still the same. Unrequited love. I started to doubt myself. Am I that unlovable? I started running and lose weight and considered getting fairer skin but I don’t think those are the answers. I just think that I’m not worth loving, period. I became so insecure and also thought of ending it all which of course I didn’t or else I wouldn’t be writing this. I slept a lot too because when I’m sleeping, I don’t think about him and feel anything. When he’s not sending me a message, I felt like my world is slowly crumbling down but just one hi from him, everything changes. I will suddenly feel light and happy. He’s like a drug I couldn’t quit. I’m so drawn to him and I couldn’t get enough of him. How do I move on? I couldn’t sleep and work properly. My friends are all tired hearing from me that I’ll move on but at the next minute I’ll tell them that I’m happy again because he said hi. They told me to cry it all out and pray. I did both but I’m still stuck! When does it end? When will the pain go away? Why do we have to feel this? I have tried to be busy but everytime I stop for even a single second, it’s his face that I see. I think I’m getting crazy or is this normal for someone who loved deeply? My boyfriend and I were together for 9 yrs. We lived together. The last 2yrs out sex life dwindled to nothing. He said sex isn’t the most important thing in a relationship. We loved each other had fun times but the home life was getting annoying. I would complain communicate what I needed what bothered me and its like it went in one ear and put the other with him. So long story short and there were other things that brought us to having him move out he did in July. I told him to take what he needed and just go. He moved into his house hevtented out a side by side apt as a tenant has moved out of it. Days went by he then came around we still did things together. I then changed jobs where i am working overnights so I’d sleep in morning and early evening so the time we did spend together was limited and this began to be an issue for him and me. We didn’t talk or see each other much but when we did we always ended the call or day with a kiss hug and I love you. Then 1 day a couple weeks ago I told him I had a feeling he was seeing someone. He did not deny or affirm just said what we can’t talk after I said I’m done I won’t be talking to him anymore. I’m another txt he said he did not know if he had the want or energy for a relationship. Yet he was working on a new one with someone else. Another conversation in txt was he didn’t want To give me false hope he doesnt know Whats going to happen. I told him I don’t take sloppy 2nds. I did not know we had actually broken up at the time. The last I knew he wanted to try and fix our relationship. Not was I fooled. Its been 2wks and my heart is heavy. I have been saying and writing down daily positive affirmations. I pray to God everyday to help me to heal my heart so I may move forward. I cry at the dumbest times. I know this pain will end I wish it would hurry up •. I mostly agree with the statement about “let’s be friends” but I take it a step further by adding some secret meanings to the phrase. First, she knows she is hurting you, and believes that this softens the blow (when in fact it makes it worse because you hang on to that friendship idea). She does not intend friendship, she just wants not to feel guilty. Second, she may be worried about your reaction. It is easy to become angry and bitter and lash out at her. Her suggestion may be code for “please don’t hate me”. Finally, I believe that in today’s society, the meaning of the word “friend” has become diluted and confused. After all, in the online community, if you have never met someone or spoken with them, but sent them a cat video, you can be their “friend”. I recently had a woman tell me (before we ever dated) that she wanted to be friends. I assumed that meant she wanted to spend time with mebut later I discovered that was out of the question. I am just seeing this blog. I relocated to another state the 1st of October leaving behind a man I had been in a complicated on/off relationship with for almost 5 years. At times during our relationship we would attempt to seperate ourselves from each but it would never last very long. We always found our way back to each other. Unfortunately, the complications weren’t things to be changed which made everything MORE complicated. I am 13 years older divorced with 2 children. He is from another country with parents expecting him to marry from his country and had kids. We loved each other very much but it was difficult to navigate. There was serious talk about him moving to me and I really hoped he would. Moving away would have given us time to connect with each without outside pressure and influence. Unfortunately, that would never happen. We were in contact but he was trying to remain distant because talking to me was too difficult. Then on January 1st I learned he’d gotten married a week earlier and he never told me. You could tell it was wedding was rushed and the wedding pic looked like he was with his cousin. He wasn’t even touching her! Needless to say, he’s married. He blocked my number and won’t respond to my voice mails. It’s been 3 weeks and some days are better then others but there is always something missing no matter how good things are. Hopefully time will heal my heart too. Was married for 3 years but (un)fortunatelly going through a divorce now. I am so hurt, heart broken and sad but also pissed off at myself for opening my heart to her. I’m 35 and she is 33. The very first time we met I thought she was physically attractive but I wasn’t looking for anything serious so I gave her a cold shoulder. Few weeks later she persuaded me into a date, we had a lot of fun on that date, we laughed and talked over a dinner. She also told me that her family is Muslim and that was a huge concern for me because I’m an Eastern-European-American Christian man and my family follows the Christian Orthodox religion so I didn’t know how they would react. I have always been honest and open with her so I told her this. I told myself let’s do everything right from the beginning, no secrets, no bs. So I told her that I don’t want drama and that there is potential for it if we date considering she is a Muslim. Her response was that she is not religious at all and that she was only born a Muslim but has never practiced it. I still had my concerns and once again I told her honestly how I feel. I talked to my family about it and they gave me a blessing and said we will support you no matter what as long as you are happy. I was so freaking happy and excited to have my family’s support and so was she. We got married after only dating for 7 months, everything was going well, we seemed very happy and we both had similar goals for the future. I did ask her before we got married if she would be willing to get baptized in a Christian church even if she doesn’t want to practice because it would mean so much to me. She agreed, we even made plans to have 2 weddings, one at the city hall and in the future when we save up little bit of money at some small Christian church overlooking the Adriatic see in Europe. Few months after being married arguments started, she suddenly was much more concerned with her career then us. She even said love is not the most important thing in a relationship because love doesn’t pay the bills BUT I was a small business owner and there was no reason for her to go after a new carrer, I asked her to find a job that makes her happy no matter what she gets paid and that we will be fine. Well she didn’t want to do that, she accepted a new position at work and was now suddenly traveling every month for a week or so all over the USA. It made me upset, I wanted my wife and didn’t want to lose her every month for a week or two. The arguments got so bad that she would scream and yell and one time even hitting me, off course I was upset and I yelled back but the day she hit me I realized that I need to get out of this or one of us will end up in jail or worst. I told her the next day that I want to move out as I no longer saw the point, my wife wasn’t there anymore. She was upset that I’m leavin her but didn’t really try talking me out of it, she just screamed and yelled and cussed at me. I moved out and was heart broken but as the time passed by I was able to move on and find my happiness again. 4 months after our separation (not divorce) she started contacting me and eventually we sat down and talked and not sure why (I guess emotions) we decided to give it another try. I thought something was wrong with me and that I had insecurities as she would tell me “what’s wrong with you, what man wouldn’t want his wife to be such a great worker and wants to make the money?” And I off course don’t mind my wife making money but I do mind having to lose her for a week or so every month. So I talked myself into being open minded and accepting her new role and that everything is going to be okay. Once again I was completely honest towards her thinking she has realized what she had lost and will change (as she promised), after all I am an honest, non cheating man who is also a hard worker. In October of 2015 I was crushed to find out my business partner was stealing from me (our company) so I was a mess, I was hurt and very upset. I decided to get out of the business with him and start one on my own. He wasn’t only my business partner but my best friend and the best man at our wedding. I fell in depression as I couldn’t believe he did that to me, I was really hurt especially since for 5 years I have put a lot of hard work into that business. Well I opened up to my wife again, saying I need your support and some help, I feel defeated and depressed because of what happened and her response was “don’t be a p*s*y, man up, everybody goes through some shit in life” so even thought I was hurt by her response I tried just moving on but I couldn’t. It effected the start of my new business as I lost a lot of motivation and was constantly dwelling on the fact that my best friend screws me over and stole from me. Any time I asked my wife for support her response was something like stfu and do something about it and as much as I wanted to I couldn’t, depression took over me and I was pretty much useless. I asked her to please just give me some mental support and that I will be back on my feet in no time BUT instead she felt that I am no longer up to her standards (being depressed and all) so she asked for a divorce. I was crushed, I couldn’t breath, I thought I was going to die or killmyself, how can anybody’s heart handle all this at the same time, I lose my business (sold my shares to ex best friend), lose my best friend/best man, fell into depression, barely enough money to survive and now on the top of it my wife left me and doesn’t want anything to do with me. Today is the Valentine’s Day and I had made reservations 6 months ago for us at this awesome reataurant and when I received an email yesterday reminding me of that I broke down. I still love her even though she obviously doesn’t love me but I can’t help it, my heart misses her and I think about her 24/7. Why am I hurting so much when it is obvious that she doesn’t deserve me? Why can’t I just move on knowing that even if she came back I will not take her back? She has poisoned my heart and more importantly my mind and I don’t know how to get over it? Btw, my new business is doing good but I almost don’t care, all I want is my wife even though she has became a cold hearted biazntch So I know she is no good for me and I know she can’t be trusted yet all I think about is her. It is driving me crazy and it is really effecting my mental health, I don’t know what to do because I moved into a different town to have some sort of change but I have no family or friends here and all I do is sit on my couch and think about her. I love her so much and she doesn’t care, am I just a weak person or what do you suggest (anyone)? Thank you so much and God Bless you! Hi, My boyfriend and I broke up 4 months ago due to a lot of issues & priorities. We’ve been fighting almost everyday and in the end he told me that he would want to focus on his family since he is the breadwinner, and he cannot include me in his priorities. I even told him that I will support him in everything but he rejected me and hung up the phone, never talked to me again. 3 months after we broke up, we saw each other again through a friend. He seemed so nice to me and he even offered to drive me home, but I think he’s just doing it just to show his friends that he has moved on already. It was my birthday a week ago and he greeted me over chat. We had a small talk about work but that’s just it. Now I’m so confused. I’m in the healing process already until I saw him again and all the pain and anger came back:'(. It’s more painful. I’m even questioning God why do I have to see him after a few months. I’m about to heal but why did He let things happen, why do I have to talk to him again. ? I’m feeling depressed and I can’t move forward. Understand your depression. We broke up just the other day after I was used for 2.5 years and slaved for her continually and never went out. Tried to make her happy. But just remember, the purpose of dating is to develop a love for someone and find out if they are compatible or not. It’s to find out what kind of person they are. So if you were to marry someone like that and he acts the way he does and you’re miserable after just a few months, think what years of a marriage would be like. Find a mature person. I was just recently broken up with. I was with my boyfriend for two years, but I had known him since I was with my ex boyfriend. I hurt him pretty bad at that time because he wanted to be with me but I was still with my ex at that point. I finally out a stop to that relationship and jumped into it with my now current ex boyfriend. I fell deep in love and cherished him to the fullest. I had a lot of trust issues though. I noticed he had a lot of friends that were girls and it really bugged me. I would constantly think he was talking to them and I let it ruin our relationship. I always accused him of looking at other woman. Over the summer, we went to a bar and I accused him of dancing with another woman when he wasn’t. I knew he didn’t but I felt he was to close to her.we got into this huge blowout fight and he told me that it’s over, that once our lease is up were done. After that night I thought we mended everything back together. We continued to live together and I thought we were okay. Here and there I would accuse him and we’d have some fights. So recently, I thought he was on his phone a lot and would be up late texting. I called him on my lunch break from work and asked him about it. We got into a fight and he was acting really harsh with me. I got home and he wouldn’t talk to me, I asked him if he wanted to break up with me and he said honestly he doesn’t know. He finally sat me down and told me that he fell out of love. That he loves me but isn’t in love with me. I feel like my heart is shattered into a million pieces, I can’t stop crying and being emotional. I haven’t been able to eat and I have this ball feeling in my stomach. I’ll be okay for a second and then all the memories come rushing back in. How can someone fall out of love and throw out all those amazing memories? I just feel so lost and I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I want it to stop. I recently just had a short relationship after 5 years of being single. I’m 30 and don’t want to live where I live, and met the most beautiful woman who wanted to move away and loved me for me. I found it hard to believe that she could love me, because I am shy and quiet and weird. The circumstances for us meeting were too unreal. The entire relationship, I was constantly worried that she didn’t care, when it was all in my head. Too many things happened to make me wonder. We shared so many common interests and looking back, I can see how unbelievably perfect it was. I hurt her and never got the chance to apologize, and I don’t know how to forgive myself. I feel like I’ve put myself in a living Hell. I feel like God gave me this loving woman, and I was blinded by self-hatred, and couldn’t see it. I don’t know how to stop thinking about it. I barely sleep, or eat. I don’t enjoy anything and being at work (a new job) with people I don’t know is very hard. There are too many things to remind me of this girl everywhere I go. I just want to to feel okay and be happy. I know feeling like this is bad for me and everyone around me. I just want to stop crying •. Rosh What you just described is my whole relationship with him.I caught Him Cheating And I Knew that I could never trust him again. I asked him to move out and he packed his things however he’s still keeping a here however he’s not staying here anymore His priorities were his friends and drinking. He blames me for the relationship going south because I am not trusting however actions speak louder than words when I approached him about the cheating he had no remorse and nothing to say I knew I could not be walked all over like this and my life has completely changed but I’m hoping that it will get better •. I’m 23 and just got dumped by my 21 year old girl after we decided to go on a break. During the ‘break’ I was fine because I thought we would get back together but she decided she didn’t like me as much anymore. I reacted badly and begged and begged her to get back with me which I think made things worst. Now I found out she’s already seeing another guy (it’s literally been only a month or so) and I’m still hurting like crazy even though she said she liked me so much and the reason she wanted to break up was so she could be alone and find to love herself which turned out to be a big fat lie! It hurts even more now •. My boyfriend broke up with two days after we went on an amazing date he had planned. I have been with this guy for 5 years and out of the blue he said he doesn’t love me anymore and that we should just be friends nothing more. I’m so heart broken, I can’t sleep I get chills like I’m sick. I’ve been crying all day and night to where I get a headache and I haven’t eaten in almost 24 hours its like I lost my will to do anything. He was really my whole world I pretty much workshoped this guy and now I feel so lost. In May of last year I developed breast cancer long story short it’s spread. My husband of 13 years decided he couldn’t handle the stress of my cancer and him working and decided work was more important. I’m not from here I have no family and no friends. I am still battling cancer alone my heart is broken and I feel like it’s best if I just give up and not do treatment anymore. I’ve never felt so alone and so heartbroken in my life he’s been gone for five months But the wounds are still fresh. I don’t know what to do anymore. My husband has been having flirtatious relationships with various women pretty much the entire time we’ve been together. He says it’s because I push and push and accuse him of cheating that he cheated. I hurt so bad. I want the pain to go away. I’m literally only here still because of my 6 month of daughter. I hurt more than I’ve ever hurt before. I’ve been divorced before. He was emotionally and physically abusive. I would rather be beat up to the point of bleeding then feel the way I do right now. I just want to die but I refuse to leave my daughter. She is my miracle baby. I just can’t get over this pain. I hurt so bad. I feel like complete garbage. I’ve had my heart broken by like 20 people because of my attachment issues. I never want to date many people or hook up with anyone unless I like them, and once I do, I get desperate and would love for them to want me, and that desperation drives them away. It’s like an endless cycle of misery and disappointment. And once again I’m in this position but this one was one of the worst. I dated a guy for about a month and ended up meeting his friend and I swear it was like love at first sight. I’ve never felt that way before and I didn’t know what to do about it. I dated that guy for 8 months constantly struggling with trying to get over his friend but I couldn’t. We also had so many problems in our relationship and I had to end it. I tried to pursue the friend, and he told me liked me but I was such a wreck from my last relationship that I scared him away and it was never the same. This happened last March. My crush lived close to my college but would never see me because he said he was too busy. We talked on and off for over a year and there wasn’t a second that I didn’t think about him because he is literally my clone and I KNOW that we would be a perfect match if he had given me a chance. There were a few times where he’d ask me to hangout but then back out and I would flip out because I was so tired of waiting. He would hit on girls online and that hurt too. Last summer he ended up in a relationship I had no clue about, and casually told me about it in October, thinking I wouldn’t care. It BROKE my heart that he forgot how much I liked him. He said he was sorry but continued the same behavior and I ended up holding myself back in hopes of him coming around and he never did for all of those months up until now. In April, I told him how I felt and he said he wasn’t looking for a relationship but if the right girl came around then sure and that was like taking a bullet. I was so hurt I cut him off again. My heart was still set on him though. I really felt like he was my perfect match but my attachment issues fucked a lot of things up and now he hates me. Yesterday I found out he has a girlfriend now and this is the last shot in the heart I’m going to take. I just feel like I lost myself. I am such a hopeless romantic that I’m desperate for it. I really feel like I lost a perfect match for me and I wasn’t even given a real chance. That’s all I wanted. I’m broken:'( •. I have been single for about 2 years now and since then I have been feeling lost I feel like I’m losing my mind I have pretty much started pushing my closes friends away and I don’t know how to handle my situation it feels like my heart is breaking even more than it did before and I don;t know how to repair it I really don’t and it hurts me so much i thought I could overcome this I thought I was stronger than the pain that I have been feeling over the last couple of months and I don’t lnow what to do I need advice •. I need some advice. So I was with my ex for almost 3 years and we split for a year. During that time he dated 5 other girls, one including my best friend. After, we worked things out and we tried dating a second time. It was difficult because I was away for school and he was back home. While I was in school, we talked about moving in together and even a possible engagement. When there was only 2 weeks left of school, he broke up with me to hook up with another girl. Once I made it home, it was too late because he moved out of state. We follow each other on social media, but he cut all ties. He will not talk to me. He is acting as if I do not exist. It’s been a total of 2 months now, and it is killing me. We share a bond because we almost had a child together and faced many other hardships, and emotionally I do not understand why he left without saying anything. I guess I am confused and heartbroken and in need of advice. I broke up with my boyfriend about 5 days ago and I have a full-time job so it keeps me busy but every time I come back to the place we shared together and it’s so lonely. I can’t stand to be here for very long periods what’s worse is that he hasn’t totally moved out and he’s living in the basement and locked himself in there. He has stonewalled me and I’ve asked him questions about some suspicious things and he’s never answered them. In the four years we’ve been together I’ve always used my denial tool which proved to be detrimental to me lingering feeling of deception and I couldn’t find peace in our relationship and now that he’s going. I’m lost and I pray but it doesn’t help because maybe I’m self-centered and feeling sorry for myself I’m hoping that the day comes real soon where I can smile again and find new adventures and people too take up the time in my life that I need for I need to be social. What’s hardest of all is knowing that I may never understand what happened and I may never know whether he was fooling around.he’s got PTSD and he’s been in the service for a long time and it could be some side effects from that but all in all my gut feeling in my heart tells me that this needs to happen. To end unfortunately I still can’t see a future for myself and I’m hoping for that real soon. It hurts so much I dint even realize how much I was attached to him until the breakup now I feel like my world is crumbling. I live alone and the weekends out of work are the worst days I just do not have the strength to move on every minute i am tempted to text or call him but i know for my own sanity i need to get away from him for i discovered he has been cheating all this while he does not seem to mind the break up he seems just his normal self drinking with his friends and going to spend the nights at his new catch place. It hurts I have to watch this everyday, i cant move now because its quite expensive and i was saving for a project that i do not want to give up. I blame myself maybe i should have fought harder ignore the other women maybe i should have pretended not to see his behavior i don’t know how to pickup from here i feel wasted we were trying out for a kid what if am pregnant now I never wanted to become a single parent i am so scared of doing a pregnancy test. How do i get over this its like my heart is in a million pieces i am an introvert i do not talk out my issues its just sad. I lost the love of my life one year ago and still think of him ever day. We were the perfect couple. The cards he would give me were so full of love and happiness that I would cry when he gave them to me. We moved in together after a year and a half. Everything seemed fine. At Christmas he told me I was his lover, best friend and partner in life. 6 months later he said he was confused about his feelings for me. 3 months after that I moved out. I held it together while still living with him but looking for a place to live. On the day I moved out he wept. I said to him that I would be ok, just don’t throw me away like you would the garbage. He promised he wouldn’t. Never gave me a reason for our split. A couple months later he texted me happy birthday. I tried to text back thank you and he had blocked me from texting him! This has been a year now. Ive tried email just to see how he was doing only to find out from his sister in law that he had a new girlfriend. Happened not long after I moved out so apparently he was phoning someone behind my back. Makes no sense. We were good tobeach other and got along beautifully. I can’t get closure. I dont know how you can love and live with someone then act like they NEVER exsisted. I am still mourning this loss. I dont know how to make it go away. Hi, I’m going through a heartbreak right now and it’s really excruciating. Haven’t been able to sleep or eat the past few days. I know time will heal everything and I just can’t wait for the time to fly by to make it better. He broke up with me through a lonb test message saying that he doesn’t have the courage to tell me in person. At the point I lost it and kept bombarding his phone acting like a crazy woman. Regreted it totally. And ended up for him to block my calls amd messages. I know the breakup is for the best for both of us it’s just that I just couldn’t come to terms of it yet. My heart and chest is really physically hurting. Kept asking myself why. Just 3days ago he told me he loved me so much. The nexy day broke up with me through a lengthy text message. And he told me he loved another. Maybe he just wants me to move on for good because circumstances does not allow us to be together. I have since deleted his number and messages. That helps in a way not for me to do stupid embarrassing things. I just hope time passes by soon, taking away all the pain and hurt that I am going through right now. Deep down I am praying so hard for him to come back but reality is he won’t. Tomorrow I’ll be removing all our momentos together. Hope I can move on fast. Man the pain is real! I have been with my girl for 7 years now and we have hit a really hard spot in the relationship. I haven’t been the best boyfriend emotionally. I never cheated on her in the 7 years. I have not shown her as much affection as she would have wanted. Now I just recently found out she is seeing a guy that she says makes her laugh and express himself to her. In her eyes they are just friends. She says she want to work out the relationship with us but continues to hangout with this so called friend of hers. Not sure what to do about this? I know I haven’t been emotionally there for her, but is trying to now, I offered to do more things with her and open up more but she doesn’t want to go anywhere with me I asked her lets do something today she says she is tired or comes up with other excuses. We got into an argument over this and I told her to be with him and left her house. Now she won’t return my text or e-mail it’s only been a few days but my heart is melting away. I’m to the point that I’m just going to give up and let it go. Is it too soon to let it go? She is not responding at all. I met a woman online who perused me very aggressively. We dated for about 6 months and then she started bombarding me about getting married and not moving fast enough. She’s a great person to be around, she has two great kids and I enjoyed every minute I spent with her. I was never against getting married, I just thought that we needed more time to explore each other and let our relationship progress. Well after a final weekend at her place, she changed and started being critical of everything I did or said. We then got into a heated conversation because she felt that our relationship wasn’t moving fast enough and she wanted to start dating again. Well we stopped talking completely for two days and when I contacted her again she advised me that she was in a relationship already. As you can imagine, I was devastated and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I can’t imagine anyone expects someone to move on so fast and to say that they are really interested in someone after only 2 days. After I calmed down, it was obvious to me that she was possibly seeing this person before we actually stopped talking. Over the past few weeks I’ve been angry, confused, unable to sleep, missed a ton of work and not sure how to move forward. Of all the woman I’ve ever dated, I’ve never had these type of feelings pouring out of me when the answer is right in front of me. I want to move on so bad because I know I deserve more, but my heart keeps taking me back to the good times I had with this woman. I recently found out that she has been spending weekends and week nights with her new boyfriend so that really devastated me more. I’m so ready to move on with my life, but I’m not sure how long getting over this will take. It has been a very difficult few weeks and I’m so over it already. If anyone has any remedies to help I’d love to hear them. While I understand where this article is coming from and how it can help the people it pertains to, I have heartbreak that comes from a different perspective. I don’t really know how to accurately describe the entire situation other than God slamming a door shut literally 36 hours before I had planned to start. For eight years I waited, prayed, and four year I built a great friendship. Now I am left with an open heart, and no way to express my interest and feelings. The worst part us also the best part, and that is what hurts the most: we are still very close friends. I now have no clue where to go when an open door was closed that abruptly. When I look around all other doors seem like the same thing is going to happen. My name is Aisha. I’m 19 years old and just got my hear broken. It feels like I’ve been hit with a sledgehammer in my heart. I can literally feel the pain pulling me down. I try not to think about it but that gets the best of me during the day when I’m at work all alone. He thought me things I never thought I wanted to know to begin with. I’m falling into a state of depression I think, the constant reminder everyday of him is in my head. I am a strong person but this is getting the best of me and it’s so close to the holidays I hear what all of you are saying and I understand completely, but the tears are a spectacle of me these days and I’m sinking gradually. I just needed to say this. Maybe your listening wherever you are and maybe I’ll help. But right now I just wanna crawl under a rock and die, but I’m 19 and this is just the beginning right? I need more strength than I though I would ever need ? •. I don’t know about you all but I experienced a move out and breakup up over the holidays. It was one of the hardest times in my life and still is. Holidays are the worst. I had a boyfriend who is a roofer and we met in my hometown. He had told me he was eventually going to move his company down to Florida but the more we became serious the more that he said he would wait until all our ducks were in a row so that I may be able to ease my family into the transition to move hundreds of miles away and for me to establish a solid pay working for him as his office manager / PR / right hand partner. Everything was going great until he realized how serious we were and he laid a big whammy on me. He was 100,000 in debt with taxes and hadn’t even talked with anyone about what to do and could have at the time had serious federal issues. I told him at the beginning of our relationship that I would never get with a man who didn’t have his s$$t together so he lied for months. Move in day into my house is when he unleashed the beast. I was hurt and already have problems with trusting men; and long story short we broke up because he was mad that I couldn’t get over the deceit and lies and the fact that now I have dedicated my life to fix his, and put a hold on mine just so we could work and actually have a future. But he never gave me a sincere apology. He never truly looked me into my eyes (even though he claims he did) that he was sorry and it wasn’t going to happen again where he misled me where his money was going and making poor financial decisions without consulting with me since I was his partner. So all that apologizing turned into a bunch a BS bc someone who is apologetic doesn’t do it again. But I stayed. In fact I stayed a year and let him break me down and make me feel that the demise of our relationship was because I was a nagger or he felt like he walked on egg shells. Then a hurricane hit Florida and about mid November he laid it on me he was moving to Florida period and if I didn’t go we were done. I’m a recovering addict so I can’t just up and leave my support system or a family that I’m extremely close to of 29 years in one city. Even if he said he cared he didn’t and tried to torture me until I flipped out and told him to leave. I asked him over and over what I needed so I could feel secure and what I wasn’t getting in this relationship that has torn me to shreds. So he abruptly packed his bags and was out of my house on Christmas (what a great present to me this year). I’m heartbroken. Like I cry all the time and I try so hard to be strong. I literally feel pain in my heart and sometimes it’s so strong it takes my breath away. And all I want is answers and closure. Not having closure and being broken up is the worst mixture I think to try to get over the hurt. I need advice. Would love feedback and would like to see if anyone has been in a relationship like this and how you get over someone without closure. I broke a few of these rules. My boyfriend and I broke up (somewhat mutually) in October. Then I did something I thought I was too smart to do — I had an intense rebound. That didn’t last. Now I’m so sad about my ex, how I treated him, how immaturely I acted, how I miss him. I’m trying to pray, I’m trying to listen to sad songs, I’m talking with friends, but nothing seems to help when I’m alone. I just want to talk to him and express my remorse. I’ve tried writing a letter, but I don’t know how to end it, and it doesn’t seem enough. I don’t know how long I can handle trying to act normal. I wish I could heal so I could think with a level head again. I have been in a relationship with a woman for 4 years. I am also a woman and have been gay my entire life. I am her first relationship with a woman and all was great the first couple of years. But the usual happened as it has to me in the past. She said she needed space and to work on issues on her own. Moved out in May. Told me that she loves me and just needed space. So I let her go. Stayed in touch but it tore me up the whole time. So this weekend she calls and says she wants to see me and our dogs. Should have said no but I gave in. She had to tell me that she had been seeing a man and that she doesn’t want to lead me on just wants to be friends. I can’t do it. I can’t look at her that way. So now I guess I need to find a way to move on and get her out of my head. I should have known better but still pretty devastated. Somehow it helps reading all of the stories. They are all so similar. I’m just 3 weeks into our breakup and life seems to have stopped. I love him and changed my entire life to be with him. This included my daughter as well. Left our home town of 20 years, transferred, moved to a new city and don’t know anyone, my daughter started jr high in a new schoolwe uprooted everything. Once a confident and strong woman i completely lost myself. He withdrew some once we made the move. He apologized constantly for the way he treated me or the things he would say. He broke up with me the day after Christmas. He says he loves me still but the switch got flipped and he doesn’t know how to flip it back. He still textsbut never asks how I’m doing just more casual. I have never experienced this sort of pain. Moments of hope that I will be ok and then bamall that hurt rushes back in. I want so badly to feel better. I want so badly to take me back. I want so badly to rise above the ashes and be reborn into what I believe He intended me to be. I want so badly to believe that he is not good enough for me or may daughter. I want so badly for him to feel the pain. I want so badly to hate him. But, I love him. I’m inching forward and at times reaching up to the sky praying He will hold my hand and carry me through. I want so badly to believe that He is preparing me for the one He has chosen for me. But, doubt creeps in followed by that hurt. I want so badly to tell him to just leave me alone. I so badly want courage. That’s it.my heartbreak. My husband just told me this morning that he isn’t sure he is in love with me anymoreI am totally blindsided by it, we were talking about vacation plans two days ago and getting furniture for our new placeI don’t know where we are headed or what we are going to do. I know I don’t want to make him miserable. Since he told me that this morning, I’ve thrown up several times and haven’t been able to get out of bed, he will be home from work in a few hours so I know I need to get up and put on my happy face, but part of me thinks he needs to see how miserable he is making me and for no reason, or if it is a reason he won’t tell me. I’ve loved this man since we were 13 years old, I waited on him while he did 8 years in prison, I’ve put up with more than anyone in their right mind ever would I just feel lost on and alonethe only plus side is I’ll lose some much needed weight now •. Hie guys l have been dating this girl for 2 years now but recently we broke up. She once cheated and i forgave her and we moved on and now there is this guy who was asking here out and i told her 3 times that she should stop talking to him but found out they are still talking and whenever i am wth her the guy seems lik he will be pissed the following day. This guy knws l date this girl and my girl who z now my ex hides his chats with him. Not this only but she has a bunch of friends who date married man and she claims she does not do that. I never did anything to her bad all i knw was loving her wth all my heart she is the one who said we should break up but when she tells her friends she says l am overprotective bsides her flirting issues with other guys. I was so heartbroken and i am trying to forget but ts painfull pliz help. I think she takes advantage of my love to her she is 20 and am 25 •. I am 27 and i have a work colleague i have known for 4 years always had a crush on her but never acted on it until June last Year. We got together shortly after and had an amazing 3 months together. We loved each other to the point we could see spending our lives together (alcohol brings out the inner thoughts you are too afraid to say). Then we broke up not quite out of the blue she wasn’t happy with her flatmates always had issues with money and imho it started to affect her massively. I see her everyday less than 30 feet away from me and i am crazy about her, i read some of the comments on here and find myself and the way i am feeling about her to be a common situation. I find myself secluded on my own constantly thinking about her morning and night, we are still friends and i think thats what makes it worst seeing her day in and day out. All our close friends said we are great together, they tell her that she is never going to find someone that treats her better than i do and thats going on her past experience with fellas. My boyfriend of 5yrs, and whom I have been living with for the entire time has just broken up with me. I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday morning and I cannot sleep. I have cried and wished that this was just a huge misunderstanding or a bad dream, but then the reality sets in and my heart aches so bad. I want to be at the stage where I can move on already so that I don’t have to endure this pain. The hardest part about not being able to dwell or over analyze things is that this break up was a huge shock and I can honestly say that there were no warning signs for me as to how he was truly feeling in the last few weeksI have questioned myself and my actions. All I feel is pain and rejection from someone who I had invested so much time and love into. I still want to remain friends with him as he’s been my best friend for the last 5yrs! I just don’t think I could bare seeing him being able to move on and leave me left behind all alone. How can people be able to switch their feelings/emotions on and off like a switch? I feel cheated by him as he is six years younger than me and I have sacrificed not having children to be with him only to find out now that his ‘heart isn’t in it anymore’. I will be 34 this year and I just could not imagine myself being able to find someone who will love all of me as well as want to have kids with me before it’s too late. I’m 20 and my first serious boyfriend broke up with me about a month ago. It was a screwed up and cowardly way of doing it too. I had called to talk to him about something. I had been calling all day. So I finally got a text back from him and when I got home from church I called again. Then some random girl answered the phone who I had never met in my life and told me that it’s not gonna work out and all she knows is that I’m number two. I asked if he could tell me himself and he agreed with her. I had been in love with him since high school and it screwed me up that it ended like that. I still think about him every day and he was my best friend as well so I’ll be like oh that’s so funny I have to tell him then I realize I can’t. He blocked me the next day so I never got a chance to talk to him about it. I’m still completely heartbroken. It really sucks guys. I thought that I was best friends with this guy, we used to talk every day and I felt like he actually cared. We weren’t even really a couple. I cared, but he didn’t. Now I see all the warning signs I should have seen earlier, but I ignored them. He basically ended our friendship because I was upset at him for something that could have been fixed, but instead he played the cold shoulder because that’s his defense mechanism; he can’t admit when he’s wrong; he can’t say sorry. Furthermore, he can be really selfish, and doesn’t have empathy which is the scary thing, made worse by the fact that he does it unconsciously. After we stopped talking, he ran back to this other girl he used to be best friends with but ended their friendship previously, because he had no one else to go to. He knew that girl would come back to him, she likes him. He played her, and me. The difference is that I’ve come out of this manipulative friendship, but she’s still stuck in it. He managed to convince her that I talked badly about her, which I never did, I barely even knew her, and turn her against me. He was left alone because he had so many issues with his friends and others that many stopped talking to him, because they figured out the kind of person he is. In the end, I just feel really stupid for not breaking this unhealthy relationship sooner, and realizing him for who he is. I’m the kind of person who loves easily, who’s really friendly, who looks at the best in people. Unfortunately that’s the reason we became friends. That’s how I’ve always been, but he changed that for me. He made me realize that some people don’t have good. Some people will try to break you. Some people really DONT care. I never believed that till now. I know that it’s all for the best. He really is a jerk, and I know that he was making my life and my personality worse, though I tried so hard to ignore it unconsciously. I’ve learned to be careful who I let in my life, and never to ignore any warning signs. I’ve learned to say no. It really hurts right now. It’s been 2 months and I still feel awful, but I know that I will eventually be ok, and be able to move on, and one day, I’ll feel alive again. I’m loved, and I will never forget that.

Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring And Diagrams Ebook - The best free software for your1/17/2018 Book information and reviews for ISBN:,Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring And Diagrams: Learn Step By Step How To Completely Wire Your Electric Guitar. Wiring Diagram Guitar Wiring For Dummies Guitar Wiring. Electric Guitar Wiring Diagrams. Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring and Diagrams. How to wire or rewire a Fender Strat. In this video I wire up a new scratch plate with all new components. This is as a result of the limited tones available on the Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster. The 3 way pickup selector switch and the week DeMarzio pickups leave the guitar with a serious lack of the sort tonal variations I use to write music, so I completely rewire the guitar so it better suits my needs. The results are great and I can now get from light almost electro-acoustic tones right the way through to a descent drive on an 80s distortion. I will be posting a PDF of this tutorial and the circuit diagrams if anyone is interested. The PDF eBook with all the information on this tutorial can be downloaded here for more information pickups wiring scratchplate knobs & switch tips circuit diagrams. About This Item By Leonardo Lospennato The only book that tells you how to build a guitar with professional standards, and how to promote your guitars afterwards. It starts with setting up and organizing your workshop. Will you build one guitar a year, or one hundred? You'll learn woodworking techniques, followed by clear explanations of how to apply an oil or lacquer finish. Guitar electronics are covered, along with assembly and setup procedures. What really makes this book valuable is the last section, Marketing for Luthiers. You'll learn about shows, displays, and brand identity. Not sure how much to charge? What about social media? This book will give you some great guidelines. 'I only wish I had this book to consult with 35 years ago when I first became interested in instrument design. I could have saved myself many heartbreaking mistakes!' — Ned Steinberger, musical instruments designer Contents in brief• Setting up your workspace / Shop safety • The Ten Steps of guitar design • Wood selection • Shop Tools and Techniques • Making the fretboard • Making the neck • Making the body • Binding and Inlay • Fretting • Finishing Techniques • Aging a guitar • Guitar Electronics • Assembly and setup • Marketing for Luthiers • Showing your guitar • Brand identity and positioning • Pricing • Promoting • Website and social media • Copyright law for luthiers 317 pages, softcover. Guitar building and luthiery isn't just about building beautiful, world-class instruments, or just about joinery and woodworking. It is the perfect blend or craftsmanship, art and business and salesmanship. And this books shows everything about these three aspects. Shop layout, tooling and machining and timber selection, that's all inside. But most importantly, deep insights about branding and marketing strategies await. Remember, it's not just art, it's about business as well - after all, luthiers also have to make a living. ![]() Or at least try to, and in an efficient, professional way. Save yourself thousands of dollars, ache and deception by INVESTING in this book first. I wish this book was out there when I started. Because what the starting guitar builder needs is KNOWLEDGE, not just for his craft, but for his newly-started business endeavour and lifetime career. David Bohorquez Nava NAVA Guitars & Luthiery Services Sydney, Australia. The only thing I wish it was different in this book is: color pictures. It has like 400 pictures and graphics, though, all very clear and in a big format (it is a big book). This book discusses guitar making techniques in more width and depth than the classics on the subject (in about 220 pages), yet it is very easy to read. I personally found useful the part about guitar finishing; for the first time I could grasp what that is all about. The cherry on top of the cake is the part about marketing, though (80 pages or so). How to put a price on your instruments, how to promote them, how to define your identity as independent luthier, how to stay afloat until the things start selling. This book and the author's previous one on guitar design are the favs in my collection. Highly recommended. ![]() We recommend building your book in Word for ease of formatting. You can write your book in Word or convert an existing source file to Word format (DOC / DOCX).

Tables: If your book requires tables, select 'Insert Table' in Word. Layout: You can use Word-default paragraph indentations, bold characters, italics and headings in your Kindle book. Avoid special fonts, headers, and footers, which do not translate into Kindle format. Page Breaks: Insert a page break at the end of every chapter to keep the text from running together. In Word, click 'Insert' at the top menu bar and select 'Page Break.' ![]() ![]() Line Breaks: Don't hit enter at the end of a line. Word automatically wraps to the next line as you type.

In Word, select 'Insert' > 'Picture' > then locate and select the file. If your book has a lot of images, it can be viewed in color by readers using our free Kindle apps for PC, MAC, iPad, iPhone, and Android. Otherwise, images on Kindle are displayed in 16 shades of gray for optimal contrast and clarity. Don't include your cover image in your manuscript file. When you publish or re-publish your book, we'll automatically add your cover image to the inside. Spellcheck and Grammar: Use Word's built-in spellcheck and grammar tools, but proofread your file manually as well. The automated tools may not catch every error.. Front matter includes the beginning pages of a book, such as Title Page, Copyright Page, Dedication, Preface, and Prologue. For a stylish and professional presentation, add a Title Page at minimum.

If there are no indentations in the DOC, you can set the indentation in the DOC file using the ruler and then save the file as HTML before uploading to KDP. If you've saved your content as HTML, you'll need to format the paragraphs using tags in order for the indentations to convert correctly.
