Toger1234: Is it better to met someone fall in love and have it fall apart eventually or to have never to met them to begin with?


if you buy into the idea that we're here to experience...
(and i do..)

then i guess all experiences contribute to that.

Depends on how long you end up spending together and whether you might have missed out on meeting someone else you might have loved and maybe not lost during that period.

Lost loves are just part of growing up and attaining emotional maturity. Yes breakups can be painful, but often you can look back later and accept that it was really for the best.

On a more humorous level: It is better to have loved and lost than to live with the psycho for the rest of your life!

Elegsabiff: Shouldn't really feel like effort, because once you are pushing something along it has pretty much lost its legs already and isn't going anywhere. Sometimes, maybe, best to accept that you've had everything that relationship can offer and should be backing off.

I know. SO much easier said than done. When something was good and still has potential, it seems worth trying but maybe only worth it when it was very, very good and even when that first whoosh has gone it is better than anything you had before. But then you both have to want it to work.


I dont completly agree with you do because i think in life there always risks and you cant get into relationships and be very happy and you might go trew a ruff patch and it might be better to work on it than trow in the towl . Like life can always be very very good you will have times when it will be just average like .

It rings of the sound of someone referring to their pet dog or maybe a horse trainer.

yes it does. lol

I assume you know I was joking. I agree with 2Intrigued and Molly. It's better to have given it a try. We can take lessons learned into new relationships, become better people for the experience.

But to never even give it a chance? What kind of life would that be?dunno wave

I would say maybe. Sometimes the experience is worth the cost. One can learn from the results, fine tune their instincts, and harness that knowledge to guide them into a better understanding.

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, is generally true. But not where necrophilia is involved.

Too many people never find a special connection with someone.. And that's sad!.. If you find it hold on to it .. Love and life is precious..

thumbs up of course! I want to be that old lady smiling secretly with wonderful memories.. Rather than the Grumpy one who wasted her life and never found love and happiness..

Its better to have loved and lost than it is to have never loved at all but if you can love and keep, thats the best of all.
