Valentine's Day: the holiday where people who are already happy get to feel even better, and everyone else gets to feel even worse. This year, we dispatched journalist Stacey Szewczyk to Times Square to collect a global assortment of heartbreak stories. They might be just what you need to survive this February 14th.
"One day, he just decided, 'I'm over it...'"
"I just had my heart broken about five days ago..."
"I won't say his last name, even though I want to..."
"It wasn't so much that she fell out of love with me..."
LM commented on 02/11The videos are such a cool idea! Keep these coming
jc commented on 02/11Wow... Poor Chuck. :( The videos are an awesome idea. Adds a whole new element.
BWR commented on 02/11Ha, Chuck is awesome. Two years out and he's still solidly committed, "Never again." Happy Valentine's Day!
yut commented on 02/11If there was any part of me that didn't believe in love this V Day, Sudhakar changed that. Beautiful.
kip commented on 02/11Erik is going to feel that stink for a little while, poor guy.
jbh commented on 02/11@yut what exactly is beautiful about sudakhar's story? is it that part where he says "i love her so much but i don't know where she is, when i moved here i lost touch with her"? lol if you love someone you make sure to get their contact info before you move to another country. what a poser.
rlh commented on 02/11sudhakar's story got me, too. i think it was the "love her 'til my last breath" (well, actually he said "breathe", but still) comment. ugh stupid heartbreak!!
EMS commented on 02/11To break up via myspace, that is cowardice and harsh! Wow!
yut commented on 02/11There was a sweetness to Sudhakar that was genuine and beautiful to me. You don't know the reasons why he lost touch with her.
JM commented on 02/12I'm starting to fall in love, and i hope none of this happens to me, i broke up with someone after 8 yrs.. I haven't had my heart broken yet, lets hope this new guy isn't the one to do it
LR commented on 02/13AWE - thank you so much Hooksexup! I just had my heart broken about a week ago, some pathetic relationship that actually I ended twice before, because he had this nasty little habit of dating OTHER people without telling me. I'm an idiot! Feels good to know that others are feeling similar, yeesh! Let's make it a SELF-CARE year people!!!
Dk commented on 02/13Celeste, " I was a actress and was a waiter" fill in section: with a huge cock with a funny accent like, I fell in love immediately only to find out other women like his huge cock too, and like you know, there is this other woman...from Equador, with a huge...
CAT commented on 02/14Aw poor, Erik. You go have some scandalous times in New York boy!
rem commented on 02/14This was not good for me. I'm still not over my last heartbreak from 8 months ago, and now these people have convinced me that everyone is heartbroken, too.
wtf commented on 02/16@rem -- get over yourself.
