So these are some of the best lessons that I learned from my past failed relationships. I'd like to hear what other people have learned that might help some of the newly broken hearted out there.
1. Don't discount red flags - if somethign is a red flag in a relationship don't ignore it and hope it doesn't mean anything - it definitely has a meaning.
2. Trust your intuition - if you think something is wrong it probably is - don't pretend that it isn't.
3. If someone tells you they want space - give them all the space in the world - in fact stop talking to them completely.
4. People communicate with each other so that they can learn from and about the other person. If you aren't learning anything - its probably not worth your time.
5. If it is too good to be true it probably is.
6. Let a man love you more than you love him - absolutely true - never give away everything in a relationship.
7. Not everyone is compatible - and it's not your fault - don't let it reflect on your self image.
8. There is no good reason for anyone to treat you like your thoughts, feelings don't matter - the moment you realize they are doing this - they aren't worth your time.
9. If someone isn't healed from a past relationship - don't get into a new relationship with them - they don't have the emotional capacity to care about your feelings.
10. You can't rush love.
I like it!
If you feel comfortable enough to have intimate relations,you should feel comfortable enough to talk about those relations.
What you are getting or not getting ,the whole nine
I agree with Amicon. You are healed when the thought of your ex doesn't give you anxiety or make your heart skip a beat anymore. When you can view the relationship objectively for what it was and not with rose colored glasses. When a day goes by and you don't mention their name or think about them and what they are doing at all.
men are just as easily hurt as women, i love with all my heart,and trust with all my heart,im a jumper-iner when it comes to love,and although i have been badly burned in the past,i learned a lot....
this time,im in a relationship where we are both jumper iner's....i get back what i give.
i just believe if you dont love completly something will be missing....
you can stand on the sidelines of love and just keep that little bit of yourself under lock and key,but whos to know that thats the bit that adds the magic and the glue to the relationship.
