Acknowledging our mistakes

The road to a healthy relationship sometimes depends on our willingness to accept our faults and work towards establishing an effort to correct our mistakes.

How long would it take, after a misunderstanding has occurred, for you to acknowledge such an effort? How critical is it if any, is the implication on the timing?

Are there moments, when afterwards, realize our errors, have made us say: "Why did I do that?" then what would you do to fix it?
Or do we let it fly in time and forget it happened?

Thanks for all your contributions and participation.

Note: Realizing the sensibility this topic calls on our characters, that doesn't mean we don't make a mistake, and I hope there is a way to make us learn if only to make our life easier in terms of a harmonious relationship?

Thanks again..

SR

SR,
On how long it would take,
Depends on the size of the storm.

On doing something to fix it.
Will fixing it prevent further events repeating, and if so

Hi SR
In my experience the best time to fix a problem of any kind is NOW.

i am with Cat. NOW is the best time. no running around with that.
SR when two people get together it may not be mistake to be forgiven, it could be differences in people. Then I reckon can one learn to live with differencesdunno Not necessary faults that is.teddybear
Cat, formula number one. Yes now. If all of us, can and must do it this way, there would be no more casualties of man's brutal and evil tendencies? Right Cat.
Bogart, I know there is so much wisdom coming out of you bogart, so spill it out will you?

thanks and how is my favorite city? Been there many times Bogart and boy don't I treasure your relics of romanticism.

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
Since I have been single for over 11 years I have no problems, but I like to solve any problem right NOW too. This is the best way of doing it, not to be holding the harsh words inside and not say anything... I feel it gets much easier when I talk about things. But my single life keep me free from such a problem and Amen to that!laugh hug teddybear
My My My if not my darling Wel. How was your walk the other day my friend? Hope no fall or slid off? Now being single is right, Wel, there is no one to be blamed for you not being tolerant and or moody is there? Just kidding Wel, one day I would really love to see the Norwegian plains..And much the same way as I, invite you, if you are tmepted, to come visit my good old USA? Unless of course, you have been here many a times/

thanks Welbouquet bouquet teddybear teddybear gift gift
Thank you SR for your kind words. I did come home in one whole peace yesterday, no slippin' or slidin'
When it comes to you to see Norway, it sounds great, and I've been to Colorado in 2010 to visit a friend and her family who live there. Not tempted for another journey yet, but in some years maybe? All in good time, and to finally get to see my friend was awesome for sure! Thank you for the invite... sort of.grin hug teddybear
SR and when it comes to my single life I am so happy I am single, would not change that for any but a very special man for sure! Not found him yet, and I do not look to much either...laugh
Goodness SR I have got past stage of judging just accept that is way of a person. Also passed stage when I crave for people to be like me OR me them.
AS to a match for me well now I am in trouble its others you see they just cannot accept me as I don't seem to have a set of rules to go by, they change all the time until I don't even know myselfgrin
Sorry once again I digress I do get what you mean totally all sides of argument as it were. We meaning one person cannot solve all lifes ills but we could try and accept that that is the way of things.teddybear teddybear
You are right SR,
"Don't ever go to bed feeling mad?"
I see the wisdom there. Don't let it fester and get it out of the way.
Words of wisdom from a good old friend of mine Rd, I mean you, not that you are old, Heck no, and neither am I, but you used to always comment on my old poems? I will never forget those beautiful comments RED unfortunately I deleted all my poems, for reasons, I now regret...but ah well...Dear Red, you'll come back with more poems right? Missing you in the corner lately?

Thanks Red. Still raining so hard there? Send some here will you? California badly needs water Red. We are asked, or rather mandatory in water control..
Gosh, now i am shy, or i have become one.

both, Lisbon and Cannes are perfect for living, or visiting. "romantic" also. depends of the partner, and the mood.

i will be back later, when i loose my shyness.
SR confused I thought you had gone to Aussie land.
MMMMM maybe I had that wrong. The poems at the moment flew out the window. But dear SR one day when I have gained more of lifes knowledge I will write again.hug
I wish you everthing that's good a good day at your workteddybear
well now the easiest way is just say sorry at the start lifes har d enough without argueing I have lived this way and it really works even if your not wrong put thearm out and smile say sorry its simple its over before it starts when argueing its easy to hurt someone and it may never go away this I have learnt as well
Aussie didn't pan out my dear Red? On the note: Blue blooded Anglo Saxons are nowhere near those of whom I have befriended with on my times in England. I will touch nerves here, but my true experience, The Aussies with Blue blood are the worst bigots and hypocrites I have ever encountered. Now having said that, doesn't mean, there is a shortage of good and gentle men, there, but let me tell you my dear RED. No, simple as that..Maybe, there are majority of them that are not judgmental? Oh, that is another topic dear..

Thanks. I am single and Loving every moment of it.
Mistakes???.

What mistakes ,it was all a part of life`s way to educate me ..and Life ain`t done with me yet laugh
Non, exactly. that is the potion and the fragrance of a great love waiting to happen...tantra, you said? yes. Don't ever ever go to bed mad. Like Bogart and Cat said, NOW...
SR hug so glad you sound so upbeat and truly sound happy with your lotpeace
Jarred I love all those WORDS OF WISDOM. I will touch them all later, promise?
Thanks Dedo, yes we aren't done in life yet, at all., No way, I just started finding it substantial when it comes to love without self serving interest. Love him that you love, regardless of whether they love you or not. Make sense?

thanks again /Dedo..
Thank you SR, but I can not go back to USA for some time... I really can not, the reason is my secret... I was in the Rocky Mountains not to far from Colorado Springs, also had a trip to Taos, New Mexico and had the time of my life. I'm sorry but there is no way I can travel so far this year. But thank you for your invite and I really love it.
Thank you. hug teddybear hug
Wel no problem. Stay warm noiw will you?

Yes Jarred, that is so true. But sometimes easy as i 2 3 is to break it. Right? Then there is the true and simplest truth of all. No effort exerted to break it and yet so much to earn it.

Love it Jarred.

I will get back on the Dream.

i can see two questions here.
Misunderstandings are not always mistakes.
they can be two very different things, for example,

husband on way out when wife says, Where are you off to at this time of night?
Husband replied i'm off to see the chiropractor.
husband kept going.
Wife says to daughter, i think your dad is having an affair, there are no Chiropractors within 100 miles of here,
Daughter said to Mother,
Mum, Dad said he was going to see the "Choir Practise" innocent not the Chiropractor.doh
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Now thats a MISUNDERSTANDING.

Everyone makes Mistakes in life,
That doesnt mean they have to pay for them the rest of their lives.
Sometimes GOOD people make BAD choices.
It doesnt mean they're BAD,
It means their HUMAN.sigh

BUT

What if you sincerely believed something was true, but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth be silenced, or would it try to break through?
Hi Phyllis,
I think it is best to deal with any misunderstandings as soon as it is realized. Sometimes misunderstandings can breed contempt or distrust. Always best to clear the air early and sort any hurt feelings.
Great blog. Hope all is well!hug

Now that is entirely up to the both of you I would say, Simmo. First thank you for the laugh, that is so cool. No sugar coating of scenes heading towards misquoting ehh?>???

Now on the last, my question is upon realizing that there is enough justice to consider it your fault. On the presentation of truth and there is no point in creating arguments to sustain evidence, then hello? Lawyer???? or Counselor? perhaps. I am not saying any of what you presented is not true, but either it is or it isn't? Right?

Help? Anybody? Jump in the wagon of Simmo's predicament please?frustrated frustrated

My My if it weren't my lucky day. My beautiful first Lady of the Great Cat. Thanks my dearest friend for dropping by and share us the light of your wisdom. Of course, I agree 100 percent. That is how it should always be. After all there will always be oceans upon oceans to swim before we finished this song and dance called life. And, sharks after sharks will come to devour us. So let's stay positive and close, shall we?

Take care my friend..
