I have loved one woman my whole life. That sounds very romantic and I'm cool with that. But I don't know anyone else that can say that. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else but Nikki. But Nikki loved a guy before me. My friend Gabriel has been in love about 3 times. And I could name a whole bunch of other people that were in love with people before they settled down with the one's they are with now. Did I miss out on something?
I know that sounds weird but hear me out. Heartbreak. Mostly everyone goes through this emotion. Loving someone and then having their world shatter around them when it doesn't work out. I guess I started thinking about this because of a friend of mine who is getting divorced. He is depressed and crying and there is no talking to the guy as he descends into a pit of his own self-pity. I don't know what that feels like. I listen to him talk and I try to empathize but I really don't know what he's going through.
I've dated a few girls before Nicole and I got dumped twice, but I got over it . . . really quickly, actually. But that's because I wasn't in love with them. I didn't imagine a fututre with them. I guess what I'm thinking right now is: is heartbreak an emotion that everyone should go through (since most people do experience it) so they can grow as a person. I don't know. I brought that idea up to Nikki and when I told her I have never been heartbroken, she said: "you're lucky."

No I don't think you have to actually experience a broken "love" relationship in order to grow as a person. The definition of heartbreak is overwhelming grief, sorrow or disappointment. You experienced a form of it when your Nana died. When your grandpa-in-law passed away. One day your beloved Katie-Girl will have reached the end of her doggy years and you will have to say goodbye to your loyal & loving friend. Hopefully, you won't have too many experiences in your lifetime..but one day you will have to say goodbye to me and dad. So I would say you are very blessed to have escaped the heartbreak of a romance/love relationship...thank God. ♥
