I guess it all depends on past experiences and what you make of them. Not everyone is cynical. Some people have had wonderful past relationships, but that sometimes just makes it harder to find the next one.
Try thinking of it like Gandolf the Wizard. Remember when he first appeared he was Gandolf the Gray, then he died and came back as Gandolf the White and with much higher powers? Well relationships can be that way. It's all a journey. Your own personal heroic epic. Relationships start, they end, love grows, it fades - but with each one you gain insights. Play your cards right, and you will eventually find the one that brings all the strings of your life together, and you will appreciate them all the more for your past experiences.
