I've been wondering lately. . . are you ever able to truly heal from past relationship hurts?

 

I was married at 23. I was young and naive, and had no doubt he was "the one." No doubts at all. The marriage didn't last long before he started cheating.

 

The experience was one of intense self-discovery for me and I feel like I took a long time to grieve and heal. I stayed single for a long time before I started dating, to make sure that I wasn't dating just to fill a void. I've had a few serious relationships since then. Thing is, I always have huge doubts with any person I'm with. I'm definitely much more cautious. It's like I'm trying to recapture those naive days when I was just certain about this one person. Now that I approach the situation more open-eyed and logical, I'm not sure I'll ever find anyone that I'm absolutely certain about.

 

Thoughts?
