Do you honor your past relationships or despise them?

I've seen people with contempt for every past relationship they've ever had and it makes me question their motives for even having a relationship to start with. Love can not be that much of a bitter pill can it?

For those who feel that despise, have you had a mix of both good and bad and the bad just comes to the surface more?

For me love has been almost all good with maybe a couple of them that have different views than me, but still I see the good in them.

What about you?

I tend always to try and remember what drew me
to them in the first place.
Rather than what sent me away at the end.

No matter how we each had changed, I always
recall what caused the spark :-)

I don't despise anyone.

I was very much attracted, in some ways, to the men I was involved with. For me, most of my "relationships" I do not dispise. Except for one it was terrible. He was in disguise.

I don't want to end up dying a bitter woman, so I call a truce. Sometimes we may go for a coffee now and again, just to catch up. It's not likely we go round each other's houses anymore. I choose to see a failed relationship as a treasured memory. I turn it around into positives. I have no time for negativity. Ever.

they were the best of me
no

no haters allowed

Every relationship has been an opportunity to learn about myself and others. Relationships ended when the time was right. No anger or resentment from me, just time to move on (harder when I was the one being left). I remember the good times more than anything.

yes those are difficult - the ones in disguise. I only had one that ended badly and forgiveness does not seem an option

nonetheless I do not hate. just numb I guess

It's real easy for me.to honor every past relationship because 1. I can't say one negative thing about any of my exes, and 2. There aren't that many.

my exes were human they came with a few flaws, but so did I...lol

it's a matter of growth...we did not grow well together

but nothing was really wrong with either of us, there were mistakes

but that is naught but a chance to learn and do better next time :)

Uh, what do you mean by "honor your past relationships"?
Am I supposed to honor a bad relationship?

For me it was hatred because of abuse spent many years. Finally came to forgive so i could heal

I honor all relationships, past and present. Even the terrible ones, because I learned something from them and they have made me who I am today.

Just look at most all of these woman before me, what a lovely time they must off had, how stereotypical! Bunch of Nice guy killers, if you ask me...oh, I guess nobody asked me, was that judgemental.

With me,I had all these wonderful woman that just loved me stupid! but I mmmmaaaayy had bin a little
to judgemental , but im much better now, there's nothing wrong with me wrong with me wong with me
wrong with me.

I remember the good times.....and how we came together...i know that i did at one stage back then love my ex..husband very much...........we were married for 18 long years....some good some bad..too...alot of things happened and we've sepsrated.....I am separated now for 9 months.....

i honor the good things and i despise the bad things. mixed feelings

Some past ones I despise some I cherish it all depends on the circumstances of the breakup and how the relationship was during the time we shared together.

I may despise some of the things that happened to those relationships but I do not despise the person or what we had in the beginning...

In the end I learned from them and learned to move on wishing them the best in life... That life just did not include us together...

It is sad to watch those that can not move on from what happen in past relationships.

I forgave him, and dated about 10 months after we so called slit up.
I have no problem forgiving a man, I just dont want him again. I just meant that was really difficult. I didn't hate him, just despised what he did and how, I still don't know just why he did it.

Everyone has flaws. If I considered flaws bad...I'd have to point at myself first and formost.
