AsleepInNJ: do you ever think about what could have been in a relationship after it's over? meaning if you had said something or did something differently or acted in a different way do you think the relationship could have turned out differently? on what level do you analyze a relationship? when it's over do you just dust yourself off and try again? do you go "underground" for awhile and play it safe? does it hurt so much you feel like you'll never be in a relationship again?

I think we all do; but the best thing we can do is look forward. Why worry about something you cant' control?
The next relationship allows us to be better and do better.

"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are it might have been."
I know I have been in that situation. I did what I could do repress and crush my emotions, and when the next relationship came along, I analyzed everything to death.
This became a point of contention because the girl I was seeing knew what was going on and felt like she was not being given a fair shake at the relationship.

I do think about what might have been. There are things I would have done differently, but I don't think it would have made a difference in my relationships. I have a tendency to stay in a relationship too long, even knowing deep down that the relationship is going nowhere. I always think if I stay long enough things will change and of course they don't. The pain of letting go does hurt for a good while, but I have never given up on finding true love. I ease my pain through music and laughter. Looking back, I am now glad that my past relationships didn't work. Everything happens for a reason. I know my true love is out there somewhere and I will not settle for less.
