Absolutely. Remember, YOU picked her. Before you try to have a new relationship, work on YOU. No one person is at fault in any relationship problems. Depending on how long you were together, you may have damaged the relationship as much as she did. No one, man or woman will put up with things forever that they cannot tolerate.

Th trick is to really get to know people and to really let yourself get to know them. Awareness is the key. Notice any fears or anxieties you may have and deal with that. So many times we take whoever pays attention to us. Why? Who knows.

No one but yourself will know the answer to that one but many of the reasons are loneliness, desperation, fear, sexual need, money issues, insecurities, safety issues, need for attention. None of these are good reasons to get into a relationship. So, ask yourself WHY you want another relationship before really looking again and be honest with yourself.

The important thing about all past relationships is they are all opportunities for learning. Learn what you don't want then focus on what you do want and LOOK for that. Make the people you meet prove to you they are what you are looking for before you give your heart to them. Remember, some people are dishonest and it is up to you to become aware and conscious to what they are saying and doing. But that is just life in general. Wake up.

Remember, your life is all about you and everyone else's life is all about them. Find those people that are capable of sharing and are willing to share before you get back out there really looking. Until you let go of the fear of getting hurt again, you will draw that to you. ....Sorry. Stepping off my soapbox now...

Different strokes for different folks. Everyone has their own needs and wants. I personally do not think it is the material possessions that makes a person but how they HANDLE their material possessions and how they FEEL about them. You know, whether they have a big charge on them or the emotions attached. Everyone is different.
