Life experience can really be the only teacher in this area; however going through the experience is not enough. What is necessary is a real awareness, sensitivity to, and reflection upon what has happened, what has been lost, what has been gained. Getting beyond one's own insecurities and subjectivities, and seeing the experience in the context of the bigger picture, are essential stepping stones to learning and loving.

Question
My boyfriend of three and half years recently broke up with me.  I am 6mnths pregnant with his first born, and I already have a 6year old.  We lived together for 3yrs, and I really love him.  I never seen the break up coming, it was like I woke up one morning and it was over.  I have cried and begged to him to take me back.  He says he just wants to be single.  We have talked about marriage before, and both agreed we would get married when we were more financially stable.  Neither of us wanted a baby, but we figured we were going to be together forever so when I got pregnant we fought about abortion, but then decided to keep it.  I am so depressed now, the doctor put me on ZOLOFT, for depression, ive lost 5lbs, and can hardly sleep.  He has already moved on, overnight.  I says I am causing my own hurt because I won't leave him alone.  He is seeing his ex again, and another female.  I just feel like we had the ideal relationship, my family loved him and respected him so much, but now everyone dislikes him and has no respect for him.  I wanted us to be a family, my daughter loves him like a father, and I thought he loved her too.  What should I do, I still love him and can't see myself with someone else.

Answer
it's over--the only thing left to do is stay in the present, live your life..unfortunately, no guarantees in affairs of the heart; in time, this pain too shall pass...stop trying to get him back--it only depletes your self-esteem...hopefully he'll cooperate in paying child support, otherwise, you'll need a good attorney..
