its a fickle thing love is. the passion, the excitement , the fear, love can turn to hate and hate can turn to love. love drives us, compels us to act, makes fools of us all, love can also build us up into the person we were meant to be. love can blind us into seeing what we want to see. love can feel like it has been hollowed out from us leaving a smoking empty husk of forgotten dreams. and just when we thought we have lost all hope ... it is love that pulls us back up from the frozen wasteland a cold heart. love is a fickle thing. so may i ask why you broke off your engagement?

Just take it easy and slow. It is hard but not a dead end. Everything that happens, happens for good. And you just have to wait for the right man now. Till then, try deviating your mind by pursuing your hobbies. Try analysing what you like to do, and do it. You have your own identity and try regaining that individuality now. All the best

Think about your goals before the relationship and during, can you still achieve them? do you still want to achieve them? Dream a little and figure out what you want to do with your life.

Forward! It hurts now, and it's going to hurt for a long time. But better to break it off now rather than later on in life. Collect yourself, and explore what else is out there. But most important, be happy.

There are a couple ways to see this. If you were so far into a relationship that you were engaged, that could be something you regret. If you've wanted to do this, then YOU'RE FREE!

The best thing to do is relax. Take some time for yourself. It's going to be really difficult to get out of that mindset of being engaged. When I broke off my engagement with my ex-fiance, it took me months before I felt decent enough to even go out with my friends. It's going to take time, but it will get better. A year and a half later, I'm in a wonderful relationship with a man that truly loves me and cherishes me. He is the best thing that has ever happened and I honestly don't think I'd be able to love him like I do if I had stayed with my ex-fiance.

If you broke off the engagement that means you did it for a reason. Trust yourself and your judgement. Know that you did what you had to do and move forward from there.

I never broke off an engagement, however a long term relationship with someone I thought I'd marry. I once read that with the relationship not only the person is out of your life but also all the hopes, dreams and future plans you had with and for this person are suddenly gone. But having said that, I am sure you had certain doubts and reasons to break it off and maybe it's time to explore these feelings and figure out what they mean to you. It will help you find out what you are really looking for and you can build from there. Take some time for yourself and time to heal :) everything will be okay!

Determine why you broke off the engagement, and then be sure of your decision. Once you make a decision, you can't take it back. You must stand firm in your judgement. If you still feel upset, find a hobby, go hiking, spend time outdoors. Whatever healthy option keeps you distracted

I think it is best to now focus on the important aspects of your life and find out what you want to do with this relationship or simply move on

if you broke-up it must be for a reason and feel happy that you took your step before marriage. Be happy and enjoy your life.

Whenever you are in doubt, just take a next small step. I am sure that you broke it off because you thought it was the best thing to do. So what now? You only can figure out that. I can only advice you to take one step at a time, don't choose big things, just some small ones. And there, you will find that your life is much easier than you have ever imagined.
