Poll: Moving on

[manaman]

Jesus what a depressing thread.

I hope i never have to go through something like that, but i suppose life does go on for thr living. Im sure the person of your dreams would want you to be happy no matter what. I would give it a few years and restart slowly.

To true. I would say exactly that with the addition of: How am I to know for sure until that scenario actually plays out?

 

[blaze96]

I would be willing to have another relationship in about 1-2 years. Though for me to be the one to begin the romantic engagement, it would have to be someone special.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Damn this is depressing, reminds me of Changes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um1HG9Rb6Dg] by Black Sabbath. As per the actual question, I don't know since it (luckily?) hasn't happened to me yet, and I won't until it does happen.

 

[NeutralDrow]

How would I know? I've thankfully never been in the position of having a soulmate die.

I guess maybe if I met someone special? Even Polgara had Durnik...

 

[Timotei]

Quite frankly can't ever imagine my relationship ending. But if it did I think it would be safe to say I would probably be very depressed and would probably never truly recover.

What is love?
...[small]Baby, don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me, no more.[/small]
Really, though, I'm such an emotional person, I don't think I could ever get over that sort of loss...
Still, I don't even know what that kind of love is like...

 

[smokeybearsb]

I'd probably not want to live after that demotivational... incident.. I mean, soulmate, stuff like that, and then they DIE? I'd be too sad.

 

[Amnestic]

Still, I don't even know what that kind of love is like...

I often wonder if anyone truly does know. Or in fact, if it even exists.

 

[BoxCutter]

Its so easy to say what your going to do in a situation like this, its a whole other deal when it actually happens.

 

[mrhockey220]

I put 1 to 6 months because its not good to sulk and lay around being depressed forever.

"Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage..."
-Slipknot

I am not quite sure what that has to do with the thread...

But I would not look. But if I found someone special I'd take the chance.

 

[Xyphon]

Gonna be truthful here. As many women as I've been through to find that certain one, I would be torn apart at the very fabric of my soul. Chances are, from past experiences, I wouldn't be able to live without her in my arms. I would take my own life.

 

[Unreliable]

later that day...

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Huuuuh, now that is difficult to say the least. I expected "moving on" from a girl you loved if dumped or something, which I could handle in a snap. I do not hold strong attachments in a majority of cases. However if I met the girl of my dreams so to speak and had married her or been with her for quite a few years (say five to ten for a reference) that... that would be a blow which would almost certainly break through the armor in the sense I usually do not give much of a damn about things.

That is not something I am at all certain I could bounce back from. Perhaps over time but I imagine it would be very difficult. Now if she were murdered? Oh boy... lets just say the person who did so better either be in jail already or dead because I cannot say I'd have any level of sanity left, especially if it was a brutal murder. Not that I would harm others, just this person and harm is mildly putting it.

All I know is I would never commit suicide, even in this depressing a scenario. I would live on, how I would be going forward, well there in lays something I never want to know.

Edit: Thinking about it further, I do believe I could carry on with life, especially if we had children. However I probably would not date again.

 

[Aqualung]

I already have an idea of someone like that.. And I feel things more deeply than other people I know, and suppress things longer. Voted 2-5 years before I'd try dating again (got to move on *eventually*).

 

[BlumiereBleck]

No i wouldn't be able to move on, I'd probably kill myself.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Still, I don't even know what that kind of love is like...

I often wonder if anyone truly does know. Or in fact, if it even exists.

I think I've found the kind of love Soup is talking about, and if it ended with his death, I don't think I could go on living, let alone dating someone new.

Maybe if we had small children... but even then I'd try to raise them on my own instead of 'finding someone'.

Gaaah why am I even contemplating this.

 

[no oneder]

My dad didn't started looking for someone for about a year, but I wouldn't know, I've never lost a boyfriend that way.

 

[Blue Musician]

Like most people said: If I meet someone really special, that is if I find my soulmate.
