I have learned I have not a farting clue about the way relationships work so unless I meet someone as clueless as I am, I shall have to stay single forever.

I Learned enough I am reluctant to even share it with Close friends!
geoabcd1234: If the answer is yeah,wht you have learned from that relationship?
I have learned to respond in an 'Assertive' way when reacting to 'Aggressive' or 'Passive' behaviour.
I have learned and will only 'Trust' to let those who can reciprocate the same 'Assertiveness' into my life or I keep a safe distance if they haven't evolved to this level yet
Lets do the math...
Aggressive + Passive = Bullying
Aggressive + Aggressive = War
Passive + Passive = No Passion
Assertive + Assertive = Calm, Resolve, Love, Joy, Peace, Happiness... Shall I go on??
It's amazing how many passive, aggressive or passive/aggressive people (not just men) are out there that haven't obviously learned how to be Calm & Assertive yet!!
Having said that, it did take me 35 yrs of experience to learn it too so I guess if parents don't teach it to their kids via role modelling this stuff (as I have with my own kids) then we got to learn the hard way as I did
I learned that no matter how much I may be able to work through with the ability to accept people as they are, it would really be better to have a personal a relationship, with a person of similar views and values.
I will never allow compromise of myself so much ever again. With a person of similar values, it won't ever have to happen on either side, not even by accident.

I have finally learned to have a voice, be more assertive and not try to make the other person happy at the cost of my own independence, individual needs, and happiness.
Think it might have taken me too long to work that out.
Every relationship is a learning experience, like doing things all over again, lots of lessons learned, I did learn to disregard the obvious and the repetitive and keep only the new complaints. After many break up I'm at a point of perfection, this is what we Italians do, we analyse, fix or repeat then adjust and learn. The woman is the most presious and important creature on the planet !
I've learnt to fight tooth and nail for happiness and success, to be less idealistic, more practical, and to be wrong or mistaken then to sit back and watch my Titanic sink.
always the gut feeling yes...too true also to not rush and rather build slow a friendship over time rather that act on the 'heat of attraction' friends first then lovers !!
