I learned that if there is no communication the relationship is lost.
Also, when the sex stops, run, don't look back just run like hell.

That I should be just as important on that last day as I was on the first day.

I have learned that love is not enough glue to hold a relationship together. I have learned that unless I love myself, no one else will love me the way I want to be loved. I have learned that I am worthy of love, and that I have a lot more value as a human being than I gave myself credit for. I have learned to listen to that infallible "voice" in my gut. It has never lied to me, and wants only the best for me. The biggest thing I have learned is that doing the same thing and expecting different results is the crazy-making stuff that made me put my life on hold for too long.

I'm not sure if I posted this already, but it bears repeating. If someone tells you that you are too good for them....BELIEVE THEM!

Listen more than you talk

Observe their living quarters closely it speaks volumes about how they are n what they value

Pay attention to how they treat others (friend and stranger alike) soon you will receive the same treatment.

Nursing my wounds....
 
  • No amount of gorgeous is worth a lifetime of bat-shit crazy. :-D
  • Never go into a relationship trying to change or fix someone OR allow yourself to become someone you're not. It never works. Seriously, if you feel the need to teach me how to iron, load the dishwasher, how you like your towels folded, fine... whatever. But me as a person, leave it alone. I'm not expecting you to change for me; I will not change for you. At the core, there has to be mutual respect.
  • Finances: HER money, YOUR money, OUR joint expenditures (budgeting). Seriously. It's just easier and less frustrating over time.
  • You can have a friendship after a break-up. If you were both honourable in your relations, then it is possible AFTER the pain and hurt subside and if you BOTH want it.

And if you feel forced to be anything else in the relationship, run. If you cannot be your authentic self around your partner, you should not be together.

Just be kind. In the end, it's all that really matters.

I don't know who wrote this and I'm google-lazy, but I think this sums it up:

You will carry this suture
Into the future
The past never passes
It simply amasses.

Also - there is probably no escape - you will likely see them again forever if you live in the same town. I dated a woman briefly back in 2005, and I still run into her. Thankfully, we get along great now, but there was a good year where it was pretty awkward.

Lesson
 
I learned many positive things: How wonderful it feels to open your eyes and see her smiling face. How to say im sorry. To laugh together as well as cry. To listen and show compassion. To never have any regrets. How to give my heart to another. And after all is said and done remember the good times. Walk away with a smile as well as tears in your eyes. A broken heart does come back to life!

~ocean 05-04-2013 10:48 PM

I learned a long time ago there are more sad songs (esp ctry & west.) than their are tears ~~~ :)))))) ~~~

Cailin 05-04-2013 10:54 PM

I learned, that I need to date a mind reader.

Glenn 05-05-2013 12:19 AM

I learned that all that bullshit is true.
Find a good one and hold on.

Crazy-Spotting
 
Some people are in love with the IDEA of being in love. They'd rather be with ANYONE (you aren't special) than be alone. Learn to spot them, to observe, so you can "dodge the bullet" and save yourself a world of hurt later. If you make an error on this "type", misjudge things, they will go on to the next person who pays them some attention while you're left reeling, wondering WTF happened.
  1. Learn to spot CRAZY.
  2. Run like hell.

Like Bonnie Raitt's song..I Can't Make You Love Me. it's true..You can't. Long hard lesson learned.

chris1life 05-23-2013 07:49 AM

I learned that when someone starts a conversation with "you know I really love you but..."don't let the finish the sentence pack their shit up and put it on the porch and change the locks. Another lesson is you never really know what's going on in someone else's head

~baby~doll~ 05-23-2013 07:55 AM

i have learned if it is not working well let it go with no regret or heartbreak because it will become more painful. i have learned not to allow my emotional attachment to dictate truth. hen it is over it is over.

A leopard doesn't change his spots just his excuses.

Semantics 05-23-2013 06:02 PM

Don't let people try and tell you who you are.

I've been out of the dating scene for quite some time, but this one stuck.
