I learned how to get even

LOL Brandy

I learned fear, pain, that I was worthless, I learned how to hate, how
to hide bruises, how to be a slave,how to be an alcoholic and drug
addict, I learned how to hate myself because I was beneath him..and then
I woke up...did it again with another one and again with another
one..then I woke up again..and stayed single for 13 years....and now I
have learned that not all men are abusing pieces of garbage, that not
all men hate and detest women with such a passion it consumes them, that
yes there are some men out there who love wholly and completely, that
are not afraid to show affection.

Wow Poet, I too learned fear, pain, how to hide bruises, but I didn't
turn to drugs and alcohol, he was an alcoholic. I learned how to
survive looking down the barrel of a loaded rifle twice and having
knives pulled on me. I too learned that I was worthless and lost my
self esteem. I learned how to be a survivor and to raise our daughter
by myself since she was 5 y/o. I learned I could work 2 jobs and even 3
to keep a roof over our head, without any child support. I am learning
to regain my self esteem and that I am not worthless as he tried to beat
into me.

I have lived alone for many years by choice also, still working on me
issues. Well spoken Poet and great work on the road back.

That nothing last forever. And take the lessons learned and grow from
them!

I've learned that patience, compassion and communication are must.... to
keep relationships HAPPY and alive


and btw we are great friends with my ex ... he is an awesome guy ...
*Grins*

I've learned that I'm a great person to live with in that I don't pay
attention to silly details like leaving the toilet seat down after using
it, and stuff like that. If the guy is what one is looking for at more
meaningful levels, those are truly insignificant details.

never leave a loaded gun in a house with a drunken woman whose mad at
you.

True love only lasts six weeks into the relationship. After that you're
on your own

I meant six months

i have learned that from all my relationships, that we
jumped into things to fast and the thrill died..i used to think i didnt
want to be alone so i would go from relationship to relationship but i
toughed it out after a really devastating break up.... the day we were
to get married he decided to go back to his ex... but i found out that i
actually like bein on my own and love my independence, so i learned that
my next relationship i dont have to settle and i will start out as
friends and not jump into anything because i like my indepence

kntrygal - it seems like we should go back to the good old days and take
our time. It always seems to me like there is something wrong with
obtaining something too quickly. Especially in relationships, when
people discover the real person after they've decided to live together
and then it's a real mess, especially if a new home was bought and kids
from previous unions are involved.

I have to laugh when I see people coming on this site and complaining
that after having sent 20 e-mails within 20 minutes, nobody has yet
answered and it's only been 12 hours. LOL

so true slendercat im just glad im not like that anymore..life is so
much better now... ive learned to like myself and not everything is my
fault
