“Middle aged, 17 year relationship. Lived together for many years except for when his daughters would be in town because I am not welcome around them. They are in their 20’s.
He’s lied to me and about me to his family. He’s cheated on me, and been both physically and verbally abusive on occasion.”

The simple answer is yes, you can get over a broken heart. To an extent.

The pain someone can feel with a broken heart has no bottom, it’s not quantifiable. The conclusion of the meaning of a broken heart varies from person to person with the different situations and outcomes that follow them.

For example; Whatever someone managed to do or say to you isn’t exactly guaranteed to hurt someone else.

The cliche that “time heals all wounds” is an incomplete quote. I’ll go as far as to say it’s wrong. Time doesn’t heal, it soaks wounds. Sometimes with “remedies”, sometimes with “salt”.

It’s the reason why very often people become the best version of themselves after a very tough breakup, and there’s also the people that can’t take it in this life any longer.
