Why?...

Why do we always end up hurting the most the ones we love the most?...

Somebody tell me please.
Because I don't fucking understand it.

because we love them and it gives us the freedom to be us not thinking that we may actually by our actions hurt them. We tend to think of them as being invincible.....
sorry hun





May you purr contently and always feel at home with yourself

I think it is because love makes us increasingly vulnerable. We can still be hurt even without love, but not in the same way.

You seem to be hurting - sorry man! Everyone has said what I would say, so all I can say is... here is a huge hug for you!

Sometimes it is inevitable.
Sometimes it is them hurting not us hurting them because of a certain way we act or react towards them and they expect a different behaviour from us.
Sometimes it takes two for the pain to be.
Sometimes we just have to bite down on our lip and take the pain we too feel when we hurt them.
Sometimes....

Because when we love we lower our defences and become oh so vulnerable. Hugs my friend.

When we love someone it brings with it a level of intimacy that is often taken for granted, I think this is the emotional space in which we unintentionally can hurt the one we love. I hope your hurt resolves quickly by talking about it. *hugs*

Sometimes because they are the safest to lash out at, sometimes because they have hurt us and we want to hurt them back. Sometimes because we do something that we know perhap we shouldn't because if they found out we know what it would do to them, and we do the thing anyway and it IS found out, and the other person is so hurt.

You can't love someone and never disappoint or hurt them...it's impossible. It is the size of the hurts and whether or not they can be overcome that is the issue. A child can devastate a parent by saying "I don't love you" and whether it is true or not doesn't really matter - the pain is there. A spouse can hurt another simply by NOT saying things, like "I love you", "You look beautiful/handsome today", "Thank you for being in my life".

Sigh...you CAN only hurt people who care cuz if they don't care it won't hurt them...no issue.

When you figure this one out, let me know...
I am in a "new relationship" with an old friend and we've talked about how badly one can be hurt, how hearts can be broken by those we love the most. The only thing either one of us can promise the other, and we have done just that, is that we will never intentionally hurt the other. But we both know that sooner or later, he will hurt me and I will hurt him just in the course of life happening. The big thing is what are we gonna do about it...

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. ~Kate Hepburn

Simply because we are afraid of what we feel for them. We know what happens when we let our guard down and become vulnerable. We know what it means, so we hurt. Sorry for your pain, trust time. You will go on. big

Come. Sit.

    Quoting lasttrainhome37:
    The reasons we hurt the ones we love the most, is because whether intentional or not, with loving someone comes the risk of hurt. A million small hurts can add up to a big one. I do believe though that if the love is strong enough, it will overcome all the little hurts and even the big ones.

    The ones we love the most, always have the power to hurt us the most. This is how it is, if you didn't care, then you wouldn't be hurt as much.

yes. that is pretty much how it is. thank you!

    When we open our heart to someone it can lead to many wonderful things, but with that it can lead us to such pains like never before.

    I think we hurt the ones that love us because we feel safe with them, that they will forgive us.

    No matter what any of us say right now, it will not take away your pain. FOr that I am truly sorry my dear friend. Sending you warm big hugs from Joisey.
julie001112
wise words my dear julie... the pain eventually subsides, it's a matter of time. sometimes sooner, sometimes later but in the end it does...

don't be sorry, i am a big boy. there are much worse things that could happen.
thank you for always being there for me, it means a lot...

We feel safe with the ones we love, hun, so when we are low, and down, we lash out only where it is safe to show our honest face.

Oh yes, we think we are always ourselves and we sure try, but we do have an exterior for others and an interior for the ones we love.

There is something to be said, for better or worse, because really ... we will be worse, we can't help it ... we are honest about who we are only with them.

Don't be angry with yourself, it means you are human ... YES, EVEN YOU, my beautiful friend!

Firstly, human nature leads us all to make mistakes... We are not infallible! You have to admit to that! There will always be more emotions invested with our loved ones as our feelings are more involved & as we are more easily apt to be bruised... we become more vulnerable! It is part of loving someone!
But contrition & forgiveness can also lead to a better relationship if the love is strong! Trust has to be earned! We all have such lessons to learn!
There are three parts to saying sorry & admittance alone is not enough...

1) Say you are sorry
2) Promise never to do it again
3) Make amends!!!

Kisses & a very big hug to in my faraway eyes... A great guy!

Hugs, sorry I've not been around lately. Looks like I've got some catching up to do. However the ones we are the closest to are our often our greatest teachers in life. Sometimes we get hurt and sometimes we do the hurting, but regardless we are always learning and growing and so are they. I hope you are OK my friend. I've missed you, and I promise not to stay away so long now. Hugs and Kisses
