Yvonne Lim's failed relationship caused her
depression
The actress went through a bout of depression and was
heavily dependent on sleeping pills after her engagement was called
off.
MediaCorp artiste, Yvonne Lim, was on Celebritea Break a few
nights ago. In the show, the actress shared her deepest secrets
with hosts Quan Yi Fong and Guo Liang, and revealed the hurt and
depression she went through from her failed relationships.
She is more wary when it comes to matters of the heart now as
the bubbly actress recounted her most heartbreaking relationship to
date. Lim shared that her relationship with her ex-boyfriend
reached the stage of "marriage" and he eventually proposed to her.
The actress sunk into depression and even contemplated suicide
after the other party broke off their engagement.
In the interview, Lim revealed that her ex-boyfriend was a
businessman and they got to know one another through mutual
friends. During the initial stages of their relationship, the guy
was extremely doting and caring. "Although there were talks of him
being a playboy, as I got to know him better, I found him more
mature and stable. However, I didn't expect that a leopard would
never change its spots"
They were in an eight-month long relationship when he suddenly
proposed to her, "Back then, I just got back from filming abroad.
He brought me to Sentosa, booked a hotel room, asked me for my hand
and placed a diamond ring in my finger. I couldn't react to his
sudden move and was lost, I didn't have the chance to reject or
agree!"
The peace-loving actress just wanted everyone to be happy and
thus, accepted the other party's proposal. They started to look
around for a love nest to call home, and even had their respective
parents meet up with one another. The actress warily sighed and
revealed that it was her frequent overseas trip that made her
realise their clash in personalities. The last straw came when she
discovered his late night phone calls with another girl. "I did not
know if it was the third party that appeared first or a problem
between us both."
In an attempt to win back his affections, the actress never
questioned him about the third party in their relationship, "At
that point in time, I only wanted to be by his side. He told me not
to phone him and not to message him. If he wanted to see me, he'll
come to look for me. I actually followed his instructions and
complied!" The actress gave a wry smile, "It was as if the
girlfriend had turned into the third party!"
With their relationship heading nowhere, their marriage plans
came to a halt. Lim shared that she grew unhappy with each passing
day and decided to let go of this heartbreaking relationship. "Back
then, I was really hurt by it. I stayed by myself for six months
and eventually sunk into depression. I had to see a doctor and
depended on sleeping pills to get some rest. I thought about
suicide but did not do anything foolish when I thought of my
family."
Wiser from her previous heartbreaks, the actress believes that
it is the feeling and connection shared between two parties that
matters most in a relationship.
