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... hug

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.

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.

I believe we underestimate what our hearts are able to handle and how rejuvenating love can be...

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.

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.

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.

Dedo, and I disagree with you that the end result is the same regarding being deliberately hurt or not.

Yes, the initial consequence of both is the feeling of hurt.
But there are different long-term consequences to them.

Some people simply don't see. Others don't want to see.
