I’m sorry for everyone here who had to look this up, we can get through this. Keep that hard work coming and lets move on💪

[keithabraham]

My girlfriend of five years and I broke up and now she’s with the guy she told me not to worry about. This is helping.

Break ups aren't the hard part. The hard part is mustering the energy and courage to start fresh and try again.

[kendalllowe]

This is straight up men supporting men! We need more of this!

[swalter]

It’s much better to be alone, than feel alone in a relationship.

[Lucaswilsonn]

"The person you pieced together in your head doesn't exist." That hit hard and was what I needed to hear.

[pharoahism]

Loneliness is better than miserable company.

[kros]

Wife of 12 years cheated. Left the house a week ago. No remorse. I have my 2 boys. I needed this. Thank you.

[usernamewood]

Listen to this EVERY day 2 or 3 times a day after being betrayed after 16 years and 3 kids… thank you Jocko. Your words are saving my life.

The heart knows how to heal itself the true challenge is to silence the mind

[spycemyster]

My girlfriend of a year left me with no indication or warning. We were calling everyday and saying how much we loved each other. Then one day, she suddenly breaks up with me and tells me she doesn't even want to discuss why she wants to leave. Less than two weeks later, she's already dating another person. I don't understand how someone could go from loving you to suddenly flipping a switch and being with someone else. Stay strong everyone, we can get past this.

[PrestonSpenceV]

Whenever I catch myself thinking about my ex or someone else I got into. . I just come here and listen.
I can't talk to my family or friends about it.
So I just come here.

[snopy]

I found this video when the betrayal, the breakup was fresh. It guided me through the healing process. I came back a year later to this clip. Let me tell you you guys. This video saved my life from suicide. I'm thankful for still being here. They were just an illusion. 🙏

[georgespangler]

Never fool yourself into believing her past doesn't matter, she is her past.

[mooseactual]

“You fell in love with a fantasy that you had built off the framework of reality” 👌 very humbling words to say to yourself.
