LIVE FOR YOU!!!! Do those things that you couldn't do before. Enjoy life. Don't wallow in self pity or wonder "what if." Take the time to be YOU.

Not so fast here. Self-blame is never good or healthy. If an ex is actually kind and honest enough to give you some constructive criticism, that's one thing. But this rarely happens. It usually boils down to the central idea of misplaced priorities, of making someone too big a part of your life too soon. Let's face it ; no ex is ever going to tell someone "you made me too big a part of your life too soon. I never had to pursue you, you weren't enough of a challenge for me. You were too much of a wuss ; too much of a 'nice guy.'" The remedy for that isn't a lot of self-blame but simly a rearranging of one's priorities, often coupled with a boost to one's self-esteem.

talaniman agrees: You are so right. Self doubt helps nothing, and only leads to low self esteem.
Jiser agrees: Laugh out loud!!!!!! This is all so very true, probably the reason for quite alot of relationship brakes!
rol agrees: yeah :-) that was written last year so ive changed alot since then.

I think that even whether or not you had were at fault there is still reason for reflection and analysis. Its how we learn and grow!!!!

This is great. I hope lots of young people see this. When it happens to them they often think it's the end of the world. All they need are some guidelines and here they are. Great work, wontbez!

One thing I did in my brakeup was to use it as an impetus to change my outlook on life. It certainly gave me a kick up the to do the things I allways wanted and instead of saying no so much say yes. This past year has been the most life changing experiance as of yet! The worst and best

So treat yours as a kick up the to go and live life!
