Sommerauer71: We all hurt, when a relationship breaks down, but when do you know you are through the pain?
I ask you sage people there, because after a long 18 months, of solitude aside from my children and my friends and work ,I have finally come through the pain of a broken relationship and realise that whilst I loved him very much, it was never right and could never have been .I sit back often, reflect and learn from the pain and where it all went so badly wrong, and then I can sit and smile at the love we did share and when we laughed, when we made love and know that I can do that all over again.
I think that is when you know you are repaired...
Any thoughts, wise ones?
Sommer, I do believe that you have answered the question quite well, actually. It has taken me one year to heal from the loss of my husband...but I realised last week that I am finally healed and can now move forward...and, that I can go through it all again to love and be loved that completely again. That is a wonderful place to reach.
As to the broken relationships, I moved on from those quite easily because things were done and said that made it impossible to stay. I have learned one lesson well from them:never date Scorpios.

Hi Dru...
I answered my own question and I was probing, for people's thoughts, I know that I am healed. Of that I have no doubt, I do not have to question it...
There is loss, in many ways, yours has been immense, like somechicks, immense...
But you both never cease to amaze me with wit and kindness...

Can we look at our past relationships and learn from them and seek a new path and be a better partner, or do we sit in a pit of self misery and balme the other person for all they did to us? ANd never look at our part that we played in the breakdown?
A nice gentle Saturday night thread...
Go.
I know I am past a relationship when I can finally think about it without any negative emotions....no anger...sadness etc...nothing but memories but no emotion left when it comes to that person or relationship!!!!!!
I don't wallow....I try to do what I need to for me to heal and move on....and yes I learned from every single relationship that I have been in...and it just brings me closer to the kind of relationship I want....

Given that most relationships end, it would be a shame not to take some good away from them, when we can.
I think we're ready to move forward when we see our new partners as they are,

Thank you. You have an abundance of them yourself, lady.
When one goes through difficult things there are two ways that one can respond: withdraw into a shell and let nobody in again, or heal and learn and do it again. I've always chosen the latter. And now I'm working patiently on someone who has chosen the former...I can't give up without a fight, and to me he's worth fighting for...only time will tell if I will win him out of that shell, but if I don't, at least I know I gave it everything I had, and I can do no more. I love him too much to give up easily. Knowing without doubt that he returns that love, despite his fear, gives me the strength for the battle. I just had to heal to this point first.
BarrenPneuma: Well now we are getting to the hard of the matter. Engulfing him with your thighs and you somehow seem to believe that it wouldn't be hard. You are not giving your form the proper respect here young lady.
If he aint hard when I do that, then Houston, we have a problem...

Wow, Dru, a fighter...
I am one of those too... Plus a survivor...
We all are,
Like you, i have had my fair share of pleasure and pain, like many...
I wish you nothing other than the best, but if you have to fight for him, is it right?
I do not want to fight for a guy, I want him to come to me, because he wants to and I want him to,that involves some work... But he will if he wants it enough...

Sommerauer71: Clearly, I am going to have to drag this out of you...
Not at all..... I have just been here way too long. I have over-stayed my welcome and became part of the furniture a very long time ago.... now I have even blended into the wallpaper!!
Sometimes, its just time to call it a day and move on....?? Those that I have high regard for know, its not really a secret, as such. Its just no big deal.... people come, people go?
I'm not sure thre is much more I have to offer other than just going round and round and.... like a one-legged duck??!!
<----- you've had more than your quota of bouquets, this is the LAST one!!
