scoutmaster: I love that movie, I work with people with tramatic brain injuries and that movie is right on the money, we even have a 10 second tom in our facility. On the bright side all I need is 3 good jokes and I can keep them laughing for hours.
Must be extremely difficult at times, and more so when they realize something is wrong.

HotrodLarrys: seems about 3 people answered the thread question, in 4 pages, and a majority of the rest, just wasnt to say they have nothing to change, and only come to turn an innocent thread question into a Zoo...
Maybe read the Question again.... Gotta go People, Have places to be... I am not here to Criticise anyone, only showing that we, our choice, words, and actions, all play a part of the outcome of a relationship...and if we dont make some changes to ourselves, we are only hurting the Next Relationships before they ever start..Thank You Lonelywoman for answering the Question...
Larry, everybody, well most everybody anyway matures and makes adjustments to their lives as they grow and mature, that's a given but we're still the same basic person with the same genes and DNA and basically the same mindset...For me to say, my personality has changed and I've become a different person / personality because of experiences in past relationships is simply put, not true. I'm my own person and I am not going to agree with you because thats you want to hear...If that's your opinion and conclusion, it's all good. Doesn't mean it has to be mine or anybody else's...As I said JMO Over and out... Of the zoo.

It has its challanges but it also has its rewards. Not all have memorey problems that sever but some do and sometimes they get better and sometimes they dont. Our job is to do the best we can on a day to day basis for each individual and help them to reach there own higest potential. I love my job and feel I make a real differance.

HotrodLarrys: So As every Past Relationship that we have been in has Ended with some kind of an Ending What Have "YOU" Changed about YOU, to Hope for a Final Sucessful advantage in Your Favor? Or Have you Changed anything?
Very good question... History repeats if we don't learn from it.
First off, I'm going to stop ignoring the red flags.
I tend to think things over before speaking up or asking questions, unfortunately this can really hurt the timing later on when attempting to talk.
Now I'm more detailed on my profile of what I want and don't want.
Though it feels like a game to me, I'm not going to be the first to use the L word again, less I want him to leave.
scoutmaster: Do you ever bust out laughing 20 min after a joke was told,
Sorry, I should have made it a lot more clear than that. They say something mean, offensive to me or they in form me they had lied to me or I catch them in a lie. I tend to step back and try and figure out what the hell are they trying to do.

I've changed a lot of things about me and a lot has changed in my life that would no longer have an impacy on a relationship.
Really honestly one thing I did wrong was to stick around too long when I should probably have walked after about 7 years. I admit I stayed for security as another part of my life was seriously up in the air at that point. I also know that I concentrated too much on that other aspect of my life and have less and less time and energy to the relationship. This led him to minorly cheat on me every so often.
I did learn also though that I don't nag (so my ex still tells me!) and also I learned how to be affectionate in a relationship which was something I didn't get much of as a child so knew little about the 'how to just give affection freely' I think that was one part I lacked in when things didn;t go so well between us and life was hectic. I'm aware of it now though so wouldn't let it happen again.

It's a great question Hotrod. I'd like to think that I've taken something positive away from every break-up. If I've changed anything, I've gotten smarter at picking the right guys. I used to looooove bad boys in my 20's, you know, the ones that flirt with your friends and make you cry yourself to sleep at night. It took me a long time to realise that Mr. Right never does that. More recently, I've come to understand that some conversations in relationships have to be had, no matter how painful or challenging they might be. I've been guilty in the past of avoiding conflict, to my own detriment. That's a mistake I'm determined not to repeat.
