Love is nice but it stings too. All have a love story sugary and bitter. To give you a true story I heard from a best friend once. It is a story that taught me a lot of things on real love, giving and vows.

Rina is the name of my friend, let me call her Rina. She dated a guy Arman for almost 5 years. Their relationship looks perfect in the eyes of many people. Arman is a caring and loving figure, while Rina is a patient and understanding woman. They plan their future together, even starting to save for their wedding.

However, one day Rina finds out the bitter truth. Arman turns out to be in a relationship with another woman. At first, Rina didn't believe it because Arman had always seemed loyal. But when she got evidence in the form of messages and photos, her heart was broken. Rina tried to talk to Arman, hoping for an explanation. Unfortunately, Arman admitted that he did love another woman, but he also still loved Rina.

Rina was in a big dilemma. She loved Arman sincerely, but she also realized that she couldn't keep someone who wasn't truly loyal. With great emotion she finally took the leap and ended her relationship with him. It was one of the toughest things she has to do, but she knew that if you protect her from an unhealthy relationship.

Rina was immensely hurt with the breakup. She starved, lost interest in things and wept almost daily. Yet, she did bounce back. She became self-centred again, started dating, and work on making herself to better. Sometime later – few years in fact, she meets someone a lot of better and cared for.

What I learned from this story was that not only have to stand through something, but also how to let go when it gets too much. The importance of honesty in love, loyalty overboard. And I know that sometimes the pain of love is not that bad. At times that is just a reflection of how God shows us there is something greater in store for us in the future.

Every time I hear someone going through heartbreak, I think of Rina's story. I know how bad it is to be betrayed but we all know time heals all wounds. Our duty is just we do not fall into the trap of love. Healthy love is love that does not make us feel less valuable, but instead makes us stronger.
