Speaking of Ex's...do you feel that they just wasted some of your precious time here on earth, or do you just chalk it up to learning experience?


I sometimes feel my Ex-boyfriend just wasted my time. What it taught me, I didn't really want to learn ohwell

I don't think he was a waste of my time, well he WAS, but I knew what I was getting into when I did it. I've got to learn to make better choices.:cry:

Well, maybe you didn't want to learn it, life's best lessons are often that way. But, they tend to make you smarter, stronger and better in the long run, painful as they may be.

So, no, I don't feel that any of my ex's were a waste of my time or emotional energy. I took the good and bad and they have helped shape who I've become. flowerforyou flowerforyou

Taught me how selfish an individual can be, how self centered, how manipulative, how shallow, how cruel.

It was a learning experience, in every case. But perhaps I stayed too long after I learned what I needed to know.

As someone once said: "Life can only be understood by looking backward, but it must be lived by looking forward".

That, and "hindsight is 20-20".

I know life's lessons are for a reason...sometimes good to protect you...but, they can also affect future relationships, don't ya think?

What I am really getting at here...is don't you think you might carry over residual garbage from one relationship to another? How do you keep a new realtionship free from the after effects of a bad relationship?

You don't. The baggage is almost always there, it helps create who you are. The trick is, though, is learning to carry the baggage and recognizing when your past might be clouding your present judgment. Only when you can recognize it, can you do whatever you need to do to change things.
