That was good? Did you learn anything from it? I want to hear what you walked took from it that was postive.

Coming into my marriage I had a bad attiude I would fly off in a rage for no reason at all. Toward's the end of our marriage we met this guy who would do the same thing. After hanging out with him for a couple of months I thought to myself " I don't want to be this guy" It took seeing somone else who acted like I did to stop me from acting that way. I wouldn't of met this guy if I never got married to my ex. I also learned to take my time & make sure we have more incommon then just great sex. I'm not saying that to brag but I think there is more then sex to keep a relationship together. I do think sex is important but it's not everything. Last thing I learned was is I'm not going to stand there & be talked down to because my wife/GF has a bad day. I should of walked when the verbal abuse started.

That I should appreciate every little thing that he gives me. Never take things for granted. Also, if I don't like something that he does, I shouldn't just keep quiet but let him know so he gets a chance to do something about it.

I didn't like being left alone all night on Fridays because he had softball games, but instead of talking to him about it, I decided to be a hermit and keep things inside. I would have liked it if we went on dates instead.

I learned that the minute someone appears to take me for granted to either speak up or walk away when it doens't change. I have way too much to give to stick around with someone who won't appreciate me.

Never settle with a rebound. This quote sums it up;

I learned that burying my thoughts and feelings to keep the peace isn't fair to me or the person I'm with. I also learned how strong I can be. I understand more how important it is to be true partners in a relationship.

I learned that I will, apparently, put up with one hell of a lot of ****.

I learned that men are as complex as myself. I learned that to be able to love, support, and appreciate another person, I must first become a full person and love, support, and appreciate myself. And that seems as if it is the hardest lesson to learn in life.

When I entered the relationship I was an intelligent, yet naive girl, and I came out of it a strong, independent, and proud woman.

I learned that I am stronger then I thought, physically that is. I also learned that perfection is over rated. The world doesn't end if you don't vacuum every day (his rules).

I learned that my hand is my best lover.

Never been in a relationship with a human being. Oh, well.
