is it wrong

Hiya. What do you mean by starting from scratch?

Do you mean with no memory of our past whatsoever? This would be very difficult to do unless you've had your brain completely washed and the chip removed?

Now if you mean with no material things reminding you of the past..also moving to another place and changing job etc. With another person in your life. .then I'm all for it.

Of course it's not wrong. It's tough though. You can rid yourself of everything that reminds you of the old life (many of us divorcees do), but you can't run from what's in your head. You know the old saying: Wherever you go, there you are.

Hi Joseph65..
IMO, there is nothing wrong with that. But as you know every one has their past both pleasant and unpleasant. Now, can you really "forget" your unpleasant past whatever that was?
Can you be really sure that you will never carry that past to wherever you go?
Can you accept the unpleasant past of the one whom you want to build a life with?
And will you help that person to also move on and walk hand in hand towards a new life pathway?

If the answers are NOs.. then it's not about right or wrong. To me, it's more about ready or still not ready. But heyy, I could be wrong..
Anyway, good luck!

I agree with everyone here that we all have pleasant and unpleasant past. one thing I keep in mind that people are different and I believe that problem is not coming from outside but from myself, so I cant blame/revenge my unpleasant experience to someone new, or suspicious/afraid that the new one will be same, then how can we move on to a better life?

Learning from my past s the best way how to fix and not repeat my mistake to avid unpleasant thing. I want to be happy.

Agree. You don't want to make the same mistake twice (or even thrice). Still, the only things you can change is you. Whenever things go sour, there are two people involved and neither is entirely innocent. You can make better choices in terms of partner though. It reminds me a bit of women who choose the same bad boys over and over and expecting different results. Give it some time and reflect if for no other reason than to be sure you're not going down the same path again. Best of luck.

It isn't wrong as long as you don't bring bad luggage into the Brand New relationship and make the new person who enters your life pay for the past mistakes.

Do people not do that anyway?

If something is over, it's over and people should move on and don't dwell on the past. Sit yourself down and think why things went wrong - did you do something wrong yourself or pick the wrong partner?

Be choosy but realistic in selecting your next partner.

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours......with a pen
