taught me that......

So you know I chat with my guy friend friends. My one friend and I were talking and he said how interesting it was that I always said the good things about every single one of my exs. I said because I always date people who have SOMETHING good about them an NO complete losers and when they are gone, I remind myself they did indeed have good qualities.

Who out of your significant others has taught you something that had a major impact in your life and what was it they taught you? Why was it that it had such an impact in your life? I am talking about people you are really glad you knew or your life would be different

1) my high school star basketball player boyfriend I was with three years. He taught me all about basketball. He held a record. He taught me how to shoot hoops with is one of my favorite things in the world. I still stink at dribbling and get busted for traveling but I can bank a shot.

2) my martial artist boyfriend taught me self defense and about weapons, personal security, and evasive driving at higher speeds. I have had men try to grab me and attack me numerous times and thwarted them off using what he taught me, my condo is safe because of what he taught me, I have avoided a lot of accidents in the car because he taught me to pay attention to other driver and predict their next move and what to do. I literally mail him a letter when something he taught saves me and tell him so and tell him no need to write back and my best to his family.

3) my ex husband taught me the most about computers. too much to list.

Thank you to:

The first man I met who was as good a parent, if not better, than myself. I have such respect for him.

Now I know what heights I can expect to find. All this, and a good conversationalist, ....that could make me L.O.L., ta boot.


It's funny you say that KLC. You know, Bri, is so many things. He's a accomplished musician, an engineer, a politician, a martial artist, a track coach, a iron man runner, etc.

COOLEST THING ABOUT HIM, HE'S DEVOTION TO FAMILY. He's kids are at an age where they are real dumb azzes, his ex is in poor health and it's very over but he still comes running when she is ill, and his sister is mentally handicapped. YOU NEED HIM HE IS THERE!! In a heart beat!!

Sexiest thing he does, and the guy who can sing, play guitar and play piano flawlessly and is good looking is already pretty darn sexy, is when he talks about his memories of spending summers with his oldest daughter fishing and boating. He goes into this mushy dream state of how much he loves his kids and esp. her. I swear I want to jump him when he does that. His love of his family and that he keeps his commitments so dam sexy to me.

My ex told me once, "It isn't always about you." Of course, then when she said it; It pissed me off. But it is so true, today when I am helping others. Another thing she told me is, "You have no one to blame but yourself." Pissed me off then, too. But it makes sense now. Some of the stuff I was told back then had this, "When the student is ready the teacher will appear", effect. She was such a good friend as she never spared my feelings in being honest with me. I am so happy she has found someone who can make her happy.:smile:

My ex-husband taught me how to cook broccoli so it was edible. Can't thank him enough for that. Oh, and I won a prize with his cheesecake recipe.

Let's see -- oh! One early boyfriend taught me how to tell when oranges are really ripe (tiny juice spurts when you go to peel them).
