[Serious] What's the deepest wound love has left you with?
We all carry scars from love - some visible, some hidden. Maybe it was your first heartbreak that changed how you view relationships. Maybe it was watching your parents' marriage fall apart. Or perhaps it was loving someone who couldn't love themselves. I've been thinking a lot about how these experiences shape us, for better or worse. Sometimes they make us stronger, sometimes more guarded. I'm curious to hear your stories. What experience with love left the deepest mark on you? How did it change the way you approach relationships or trust? Has time helped heal that wound, or do you still feel its effects today?
I still remember the day in our Data Structures lab when he moved his chair next to mine, pretending he needs help with linked lists.
Truth was, he was the class topper, I was the one barely staying afloat. Over cups of shitty canteen coffee, he taught me pointers while I taught him to laugh.
Two semesters of pure magic. Then came my parents' week-long visit. They took one look at him , wrong caste, wrong background, and suddenly my phone was confiscated, my hostel changed.
Four years of engineering, and my biggest lesson wasn't about circuits or code. It was about how love sometimes means letting go, even when every variable in your heart screams to hold on.

This is why you shouldn't introduce relationships in two semesters. Know your parents better

Long story:
During my final year of BTech, I thought I had it all figured out. We met in the computer lab, he was debugging my code, and I was debugging his life. Three years of stolen moments between classes, midnight project deadlines, and dreaming of our tech startup together.
Then came placements. He chose Zomato in Gurgaon, I got Microsoft in Bangalore. "We'll make it work," he said. But distance didn't break us. his silence did.
One unanswered call became two, became twenty. I later heard he was dating his project partner.
I was just shocked honestly and it traumatised me.
I thought only boys get cheated , very sad about you. respect for your love ❤️
My girlfriend in Class 9th, was caught kissing this guy from Section B on my Birthdqy. I fought with that guy and got called to Incharge ka office.
Man I almost failed 9th in heartbreak. But then pulled the best academic come back.

Love’s scars run deep for me, turning a once-happy, talkative person into someone dulled and disinterested. This shift feels like losing a part of yourself and wondering was it worth it? What once brought joy now replaced by a quiet ache and detachment.

My love story was very complicated. I loved her so much. I had this idea of growing together. But every dream of mine shattered when I found she betrayed me. It didn’t ended at the very good note, ended abruptly. I failed to preserve my relationship 🥺
This all happened 2 yrs back, when I was in my 4th year. Since then I’ve lost the trust in love and relationships. I hate these things now. Every time I think of starting new relationship again, I’ve this fear of failing again. I don’t trust anyone now. At this point in time I’m clueless when it comes to love and relationship, don’t know what’s gonna happen.
I’ve recently shared this in detail, do check this out and give me feedback and perspective if you can.
