Have you ever had a relationship so bad that you never forgot it? And if you learned from it, how did it make you smarter for the next time?

Yes we all have and here is the key. Don't overlook things in the beginning that you know you can't overlook later. No matter how "hot" a person and how badly you want them for yourself, don't compromise to the point where it is unfair for you. If you are a woman you deserve to be treated like a queen. If you are a man, you deserve to be treated like a King. Just don't settle for anything less right from the beginning. Of course in all relationships there are compromises, but don't compromise who you are to please the other person. Make sure you get what you need out of it. You will find someone one day who will love you for who you are and you will find that they will compromise for your sake. God Bless you and you are in my prayers.

In all truthfulness. It takes two to make it or break it. You can't blame the other without looking at yourself as well to see where you have went wrong. sometimes that doesn't happen till the relationship is done and over. At least you can look at it as a learning experience. At least you will be better prepared in a new relationship when that time comes. To know how to handle things. Not talking to each other is the main problem in most cases

you must remember what caused you to get together in the beginning and what caused you to break up and what caused you to get back together again.

Yes, i have.  I began dating a guy that I met through work.  He was a client.  He began calling me on my business cell and we really clicked.  I really began to care about him, but there was something I couldn't quit put my finger on.  So, I knew a PI and I began asking him questions... and then it was on.  I found out this guy was married with four children.  He was also a police officer and had been fired from jobs in the past for sexual harrassment.  Needless to say, I am VERY glad I found all of this out otherwise, who knows the mess I could have been tangled up in.

I think most of us have been there.  I'm glad you got out I know it isn't easy.  I don't know why we get and stay in those kind of relationships maybe we have to learn something about ourselves, that we are good enough to be loved and treated well.  I hope you see that about yourself now.  Make the next relationship a wonderful one you deserve it.

How about a bad break up story? \n\nI was waiting for my b/f to bring me my boom box to teach a dance class. He was supposed to be there by 8pm. We waited and waited for him. At 2am when the place closed, I walked out with my students and friends to find a note on my car. He said that he had waited for me but since I didn't come out (like I was supposed to know he was outside!), he had to leave a note. What it came down to was that he was a coward and couldn't break up face to face and in front of my friends. \n\nAnyway, after telling me that afternoon that he loved me, he told me in the note that it wasn't working out........what a loser! I am better off without him!

No you'll never forget what he did to you. If you want to save your marriage then you both need to go to couseling.

MY b/f dared me to get out of his car in just my patent leather high heel red shoes wiv no clothes on up a country lane.  I did and he drove off and left me.\n\nI was walking down the road covering my bits and saw a car coming towards me.  My b/f had drove off i the opposite direction. Feeling sure he would come back i hid behind a bush.  I stung my ass and crack on nettles.  He did come back and we did laugh but i never did it again. lol\n\nSharon (Wife of TULSI M)

I had this crazy crush on a particular girl (who stayed next to my building and was my junior is school) longtime ago but had to give it up as my best friend was also having a crush on her and he wanted me to help him propose to her.\n\nThe number of crazy thing i did to get her attention where horrible:\n> Once to grab her attention in school, i asked a friend of mine to push me so that i can fall on her as start of a conversation. But my bad luck, i fell on my head mistress. (Guess the rest you ppl can imagine)\n> She used to go for dance class in the evening by bus and i used to make it a point to see she go and come every single day\n> Once one school bully tried to trouble her and i jumped to help her like a superman and ended up getting a black eye. And for the rest of my school year, he and his full gang was wait for a chance to get me.\n\nMust say that i have a long list of crazy things. But the best part is that i cannot believe now that i was such an idiot to do all those crazy things.

no sh*t.  Sometimes lessons are hard to learn, and when they finally sink in, you still wonder if the "good" guy is only the "temporary rebound" guy.

You know this happen long ago, and it hasn't change your life to this point. Yes it hurt to find that he had done such a thing to you. But he may have figures out that it was not the answer to what he thought he needed at the time and he figured out he made a major mistake, he may never do anything like that again. I would think he learned his lisson. Now you have to figure out can you forgive him?? If you can't you may want consuling to help sort though this. If you think you would be better off with out him or you can't forgive him, don't torcher each other just go your own ways. I would work by this and go on with your lifes.\nGood luck I hope you can forgive in this case... But truely forgive not to be used as a torcher devise,

When my x cheated on me, I pretended not to know anything and I made him like me more. I did a make over and tried my best to really get his attention. After I made sure That I had his heart back and he was falling head over heels for me, I cheated with another guy in front of his face. And when he found out, he was so mad it made him cry.hehe.\nIts bittersweet revenge.

Many Many years ago I did just that. I was unsure about my relationship at the time and just wanted to get away from my life and responsibilities and got with someone whom I had no history with. It was an escape which is all it was designed to be. I returned to my life and have been married 21 years and never looked back and can't imagine being with anyone else ever again.

Yes, I did.  It worked for a while. But, in my opinion it is too hard to forgive and when there are problems, you immediately think it was better withou them.\nI am all for staying together and reuniting. But start from the beginning to see if you love her or him or are IN LOVE.
