I liked your response, BLBW. I'm going to step aside and let somebody else have a chance.

Nothing went 'wrong'...a lesson in all things. Just because it ends doesn't mean it was 'wrong' or anything went 'wrong'.

I expect nothing from anyone..never let down that way. Expectations and demands will always turn a relationship south.

Relationship before my current one.....because I thought he was a good guy....turns out he was a lying d******d...(Fill in blanks for yourself..any combo will do)

Overcome in a moment of weakness I forgot how painful the last one was.for an educated man I sure don't learn well

I actually worked on what that word might be before I read the last phrase. You're a clever girl.

I don't agree with you, but I'm not going to fight you over it. aren't you concerned that, if you shut yourself in a shell so as not to be vulnerable, you may be cutting yourself off from some good opportunities? Or is that what you're doing? That's the way it sounded to me.

It had been 6 years since I saw him and I heard that he had changed his life a lot. Boy were they fooled! He had just learned some new tricks!!

Sexyazz. I'm really sorry that nobody has responded yet. I had hoped that this thread would inspire people to have real discussions about real things. Maybe if we wait awhile. (I think there's a lot that could be examined from your post).

Exactly my thoughts. And this is exactly what went wrong with my last one. She had (still has) some trust issues from her first relationship, that she carried into the one with me and I always knew this wasn't gonna do us any good. I stood by her all the time, never complained one bit about her terrible mood swings (she is bipolar) and she still never managed to open up enough to let me in completely (no pun intended). I was the best friend she could have ever had, and she trusted me with her best kept secrets and all, but as for getting a bit more serious about the our future together, she didn't think it was necessary. She still wants me back and I can tell that from the way she wants to talk to me or get closer in general, and I try and be a friend (a very casual one) but that's as far as I can let myself go into it. There's only a limit upto which you can help a person mend psychological issues without her realizing that it indeed is an issue that needs her attention. If she doesn't want to fix it or doesn't wanna identify it as a problem in the first place, there's precious little you can do about it. Over time it starts to mess with your head as well. I didn't have a choice but to let go.

I got into to the relationship because I thought she was a good person who knew what she wanted.


You know that song by Cee-Lo Green, F**k You?

That song is the best thing I got out of that young 'Whaaaaa I don't know what I want in life' Eat, Pray, Love obsessed twit.

That and I ran out of Gold if you catch my drift.....

I got into my marriage because I thought the man I married is someone who will be a good husband. It turned out he is.

What went wrong? It's just one thing but it could have a very big impact to my kids' emotional and psychological well being so I had to get out of the marriage.

I learn not to expect that bad is not all bad just as good is not all good.

I loved the person, he asked me to marry him. I was in a fantasy DAZE that convinced myself it was like the movies and thats ALL we would need. I didnt take the time to find out if he truly was capable of loving himself, let alone me, turns out he wasnt able to do either.
