bendit Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Hello, first post.... I have been having relationship issues for the last few years and what a learning experience!! What I have noticed reading the boards, Especially the other woman board is that people have yet to discover that relationships are mostly about YOU and not Them. In other words, the other person is there because YOU need a lesson and that person is the right person to give you a lesson. Sure I like to blame my histrionic partner for the hell I went through but then I realize i NEEDED, badly needed to learn about myself and this relationship was simply a "fast track" to doing so...I am still learning and always will learn from relationships but what I will learn is MORE things about ME...warts and all...And with perspective I am able to be thankful for the wonderful LESSONS. regards mike

JS17 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 What you said is so true but I think that people come here a lot to vete out their irrational thoughts and go on rants. It's much safer to do it here than to your friends and family when you know you're not 100% in the right. I'm gonna come here and b1tch about my bastard cheating ex even though I know our relationship was turning to s*** before he cheated.
whichwayisup Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Everything in a relationship, good and bad, we learn and grow from. Experiences in and out of bed is what makes each of us unique and different. Special. Some DO learn and apply what they've learned into future relationships, some sadly, some don't - They repeat the performance until they learn what they're supposed to learn from it. Sounds like you're in a good place and ready for another round with someone else!
