    If you have any doubt in your mind whatsoever, it's not meant to be.

    I had niggling doubts in my head about my ex about how I felt about him, and I ignored them. Towards the end I ended up resenting him because I realised I was 'settling'.

    I've been single for around 9 months now, and I've never been happier :drinker:
    All power to you, love! :drinker:

    When your SO only talks to you because he or she needs or wants something (and for no other reason) there is a huge problem!

    Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and Ex's are a pain in Uranus!

    Can't get in a bad/abusive relationship if you don't date anyone.
    Problem solved

    I've learned that joint bank accounts are for fools and masochists. Keep your money separate, and then you should have nothing to fight about financially.

    People DO change. But it's in their own time, their own way and we can't make them do it any sooner or how we want.

    They do if they really want to but you can't change them, you can only change yourself

    If your boyfriend hits you when he's angry, leave right then and don't look back.

    I have learned that it is so important to communicate...but it's so hard when all I do is get shut out...idk if I should keep trying to talk with him or just put an end to it, just seems like no matter what I do its never good enough for him..maybe I'm just not good enough : (

    some say sad, some say reality
    In the words of Leonard Cohen

    Maybe there’s a God above
    But all I’ve ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
    It’s not a cry you can hear at night
    It’s not somebody who has seen the light
    It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

    I think you need to remember that not everyone is the same. Everyone gets hurt in life. The important thing is that everyone can heal. Stop dwelling on the negative aspects.

    ^^^ This!

    1. What have you learned about yourself and how have you grown and changed (for the better hopefully) as a result of being in a relationship?
    That I trust other people way to easily. That the only person you can rely on is yourself.

    2. What have you learned about being in relationships in general?
    That I would rather be alone or have a physical relationship only

    3. What would you do/ not do again?
    I would not marry again.
