Relationships are fine china: beautiful, exquisite, and valuable.

Try this experiment to illustrate a broken relationship:

1. Get a plate

2. Break it on the ground

3. Collect all the pieces and glue them back together

4. Observes the "new" whole plate that was once broken and now is whole again.

Result: Once a heart has been broken, it never, ever, returns to whole. There will always be cracks and tiny missing pieces.

This same analogy fits with those who are careless and hurts another through words, actions, etc.

A person can say sorry after breaking the plate, but your sorry will never restore the plate to its original whole.

Give it a try and see the results.

So be careful with whom you enter any kind of relationship. Pick them carefully so that they don't break your heart. It will never fully heal and will be left with cracks and tiny missing pieces.

Now multiply this by multiple relationships - how much of your heart might be lost and irretrievable from multiply relationship breakups?

Aim for one lasting relationship if possible. Don't jump from relationship to relationship, because of the unfixable damage that occurs with each breakup.

JMO.

I beg to differ..
Jumping from one relationship to another is what helped me get over a serious one... It builds your self confidence & can be fun.

Generally when people jump from relationship to relationship, it is never serious (one big conquest & joke). It is only when u commit urself that ur heart get's broken !!!

I agree up to a point. But one can never know when entering a relationship if it going to last forever.

Even strong relationships where both love each other, and don't want to hurt each other, can sometimes break up, with broken hearts the result.

Some relationships feel rock solid and unbreakable, but life sometimes has different plans and gets in the way.

But on the positive side, for those with broken hearts, the ancient Japanese tradition of Kinsugi believes in fixing the broken pieces with gold dust, highighlighting and celebrating the cracks as an event in the life of the object, not as an end. bouquet

I beg to differ, also.

We learn from from all our relationships, whether positive, or negative, long-term, or a few minutes chatting at the bus stop.

My heart isn't like a brittle, hard china plate. It's malleable, strong and remains healthy from good food and exercise.

Halvo,

"He" needs to be in my head, before he gets in my bed.

I can't roll from bed to bed. I wish I could. I need a breather.

I'd rather a great memory than an unforgettable experience.

...but that's just me.

We're all different in what we can handle.

Halvo - The heart resurrects. You may be more & more careful of it each time, but each of my relationships is entered with a new unbroken heart being presented to the new person. Each person gets only the one, so in that you are correct, glued back together again if so done, it will never be the same and always the past rough spots they created hamper using this heart with that person again.

Not that one can't, but the ultimate question becomes why would you? If they broke it once or thrice already, are they not pre-disposed to continue doing so? Of course they will for the broken places force flaws in what should be perfect. So wisdom dictates, move on. Find someone new.

Be more careful this time in who you choose and when it is right to act. But each new person is offered a new intact heart surface to work with. Breaking it, or not, is up to them.

Perhaps it is more accurate to envision a heart as a many faceted jewel. Each new person can only access the one facet that faces them. They can smash that face, but all of the others will be as new for the new person that faces that facet.
