rohaan: Everybody hurts sometime in one way or another (one of the things I hear that I dislike the most from folks is a very arrogant and nonchalant "I don't care". This is the epitome of inconsideration and discourtesy. By the way, it costs so little to be gentle and kind, and it does so much good. Why not?) best to ya, Bud--
WhatUwish4: And I know YOU know what I'm talking about.
And I know you understood what I said all to well. I don't care what he says. I can carry my wounds around proudly. They will always be there. But not like a wart on my nose. More like a badge of honor
We have have wounds and lasting effects from previous relationships. We wouldnt be human if we did.
The point is you shouldnt "tar everyone with the same brush". If you were cheated on, it doesnt make ALL MEN/WOMEN CHEATERS. If you were scammed, it doesnt make ALL MEN/WOMEN SCAMMERS.
I see so many people in life who are very unfairly judging everyone by their past bad experiences. Thats very wrong and unjust.
In my opinion, you either work through those negative feelings and make sure you have dealt with them before going into another relationship, or you make a deal with yourself that although you are still going to have those feelings, you dont judge others by your ex's bad behaviour.
Compassion for another's insecurities is good. Being treated like an Emotional Punchbag because some is bitter is not..

It's a journey. You have to let the hurt in and acknowledge it before you can really move on. I don't think of it as something that should be "buried" and ignored, but rather as a springboard to something better down the road. A sense of richness and appreciation for the next good thing, and something you would not fully understand if you had not been through the fire...

I do believe we're looking at the same mountain from different valleys. :)

WhatUwish4: To be very honest, V...when I joined here I was most definitely at the lowest point in my life. I don't think I ever talked about any of it on the forums, but there were several really good people who took the time to know me and really reached out and handed me a lifeline. These days, I like to think of my presence here as a way to "give back" a little. That's one reason I don't usually get involved in the nasty threads... Sometimes you just want to give a little back.
Although I can be provoked..
And your presence here WW is well received by many.

gardenhackle: Not for nuthin', but I looked at your profile because I thought you made some remarks I liked in another subject. Just curious because I liked what you said. :)
You can look at my profile as many times as you wish,everyone else does.
Veritaas: And your presence here WW is well received by many.
Thank you, V...and it's very much the same with you.
I think if we were all to stop for a minute and consider the fact that lot's of people here are hurting, it might tone down some of the ugliness. Not all, of course...and it's fun to have the occasional wicked thread But really...sometimes it's so easy to see where the OP, or someone on the forums...is obviously in a world of hurt. What's to be gained by sticking a daggar in their hearts just for a little comic relief? Life's too frigging short!
