Ideally - we should learn from our past mistakes and enter new relationships with that knowledge, yet fresh and capable to love and trust wholeheartedly again. But, can we really do that? Or do we develop all sorts of ways to protect ourselves from being hurt again and thus - maybe - prevent ourselves from being truly happy with someone else?

. No I don't give a sheet now, I can survive anything simply because I have been kicked so many times I will never get so attached to anyone anymore.

it is difficult to love once your heart has been broken but we should not carry that with us into a new relationship. First, we have to deal with the rejection, which in itself can be crippling. Then give oneself enough time to grieve as sometime it can be carcrash breakup other times it is gradual. Just remember to love yourself because your worth is not based on just one persons inability to love you...

I think if you have truly loved, and had your heart broken, it is difficult to ever totally forget that.
You may be a little more reticent going into a new relationship, and when in it, slower to allow yourself to fall in love again.
However, I believe that if conditions are right, past hurt can be healed with better love.
Deedee123x: I hope thats not true. No one should be alone
. I am alone seven years and I am very happy I do what and who I want as and when I want, one problem I have is that there is not one Indian or Cantonese restaurant within two hours drive, no Macs either, you could not say it's a one horse town because we ain't got no 'kin horses either.

Am i scared of being hurt? Sure ,but it wont stop me, no matter how many times i fall ,i will get up,dust off and keep on walking
. . It's need and want in my case and I do not need or want and at my age having been through much unhappiness due to women looking for 'other' things I will just continue as I am but I would not tell anyone that they should stop chasing their rainbow because it is what that person wishes.

Everybody is different and wants different things.

mollybaby: In the game of love at least one person, if not both, gets hurt when it doesn't work out.
Being hurt as a consequence, rather than being deliberately hurt, is easier to handle overall.
I would never deliberately hurt someone I care about.
well . deliberately or not ,at the end its the same result ...and i do have some questions about the classifications of being in a relationship with someone we do care about and with someone we dont care about ...

Some people are incapable of really caring about anybody except themselves. They do go into relationships nevertheless. But they will always put themselves, and their needs, first. The other person is simply seen as collateral damage.

Why does the other person never see that in its early stage.
