mylifewithu: I think we all have to check ourselves to keep from repeating mistakes. I know I have sure had to make a lot of them, before it sunk into my brain!! I hope so, but I am in no rush anymore!
Good for you.Some things just take their natural course.

Yes I agree ! And I will mostly take my time when it ever comes to me moving again! In fact my man I get may have to drag me out by my feet from my apartment to come live with him, just kidding , it wouldn't be that bad!!

How about carrying you out piggyback.Beware of the doorframes.
I had a boyfriend that ALWAYS talked about his ex girlfriend and everything that was bad in his life was because of her!Gosh I was with him for 6 years you would think he would go on with life with me, but no, his ex consumed himeven to this day. Glad we are not together anymore! he never let go and thought about my feelings

I was with one for a few years that was like that and the last guy that I moved in with they did that, there was not a day I didn't hear something about her. Those guys and yours are really living in the past and will not have a real future, until they can get over it all and let go. Most be some kind mental problems!

Don't get me wrong or anything, we all share our past with our new mates. And complain about ex's etc., but you are right that they don't consider your feelings when they do that! And after a time it should be enough about the ex and about you!!!
mylifewithu: Can you tell us who she is or is it top secret???
Yes of course.We will say our Good Byes when we get ready to leave CS.I will ask her if she wants her name mentioned already.Just respecting my new Special Lady.

Ken ... stop picking on yourself. No one's perfect! If they were - we'd probably not like them anyways!
As for our past ....... think that we can always learn from it and grow. To try to think about it and understand where/why things didn't work ... or of course what did work well and keep those things going.
The common denominator in any relationship that involves you - is you. Therefore it stands to reason that when you learn to understand yourself - you'll be much more successful at sustaining and cultivating the relationships that you desire.
When we view past relationships in the light of failure - or the light of gratitude that we had that opportunity to share with another - it can change our perspective to understand that at any given point we are all only doing what we know best at the time. Hopefully with our experiences we'll always be improving with our newfound knowledge.
mylifewithu: How do you use your past experiences?? Does it rule you, where you get upset over little stuff ? Or do you use it to better yourself? Or do you just make the next one pay for it??
I myself has grown past the little stuff , but most I meet haven't found that peace yet!!
Sometimes I wonder just what my past experiences in this department has taught me; what have I learned that is really of any significance; does it really matter in the end... Aside from the irritating little things that grow into most relationships and continue to grow if left alone, watered with disregard and neglect, they grow into big things that eventually can call for rather drastic measures for different people...ie. toe nail clipping in bed...%D The problem seems to be that whatever it was I learned , the same or even similar circumstances never repeat themselves to apply that knowledge; those lessons. In the end those lessons do ever seem applicable, so where does that leave one? What was the purpose of it all; the pains, the heartache, the tears, the despondency....Maybe for the other person their lessons become applicable to their situation, then again perhaps not.....I gave up trying to make any sense of it all and just watch others try and cope with their own situations that sometimes they need to tell you or someone about...and once in a while you find yourself thinking that 'I wish that I had someone even with that problem'...but no, you have no one. Your only hope is that in Time the memories will fade along with whatever lessons you may have learned as you try and deal with your immediate reality that you are not part of anyone else's reality...day by day...Is it any wonder that at times I hate this particular reality...
