I saw a post frm nwnstar and realized that I have taken good things away from relationships that did not work.

Just curious if anyone else has something good they took away from a bad situation.

I am able to see the positives even when there is negative and that is all the time.

But what I learn without a doubt, is that I will stand my ground, and not be suck back into something that is destructive.

Pieces of truth about what I did that contributed to it not working. Two wrongs don't make a right. I now try to keep my mouth shut if I know it is only going to hurt and not change anything. Prolonging a fight is just that, no one wins. It is suppose to be a relationship and not a game, if you keep score...time to re-evaluate...roll eyes handshake

lots of stuff. my son, of course, who's an amazing person. different men have appreciated different things about me so in a way, it was like learning about myself from the outside. they've all been intelligent & had varying talents so ive learned so much in that way. they also taught me how to temper myself to interact intimately, they've taught me what i can't live w/, helped me to enjoy my body (& theirs, of course!).

tons of memories of places & nites & experiences . . . ive been very lucky to know & be close to these various men. its is small, the number of men i look back on & scowl over. most still make me smile & some are still friends.

I learned above all to stand strong and never jeopardize my integrity. My father once told me, "never put yourself in a position where you can't walk out the door". He was referring to a job at that point where I was unhappy, but it's been applicable to many aspects of my life, including marriage and divorce.

My three wonderful kids and all my furniture,appliances and the big car.

On a more serious note: I've learned to stand on my own two feet and never to depend on somebody else, for anything. I realized that I WANTED (and still want) a life partner, a man, but I don't need one. My friends fulfill a lot of my emotional needs and so do my children. Unless I am ready and HE comes along with the right set of tools to tune in with my emotions, I am very well exactly where I am.

I have my children. I learned that i was a lot stronger than i thought i was. I learned to rely on no one except myself, i learned that only i could make me be content with myself. I learned to be my own best friend.professor
