We have been together nearly 22 years but still work on what we have. We have seen too many other relationships fall at the first hurdle. And try not to take each other for granted but also see that we have different needs some times which is why fab can be fun   |

Think you knocked the nail on the head when you said not to take each other for granted think that works in friendship too.... |

I'm happier, stronger for all my experiences...
Rule number One: Talk to each other, and listen to each other....
Rule number Two: Assasinate interfering Mothers in law.... |

Can I also add that although I had a shit marriage, and yes it was really bad at some point if I could date I would.
Life is way too short for all the ' oh no think of what happened before' malarky
Whilst you're worrying the love of your life could walk up to you and then past you |

Agree!! It's even less likely now as I don't get the chance to meet people much since I had my son. I've been shit on too many times I don't trust people and I won't have guys in and out of my sons life x |

"Friendships, relationships, what have you learned from past ones?
Have they made you more cynical? wiser? wary? happier??? "
Surely gaining a true understanding of human nature is a lifelong project that will always remain an unfinished challange …  |

I certainly don't ever see me having another 'relationship' with a man. That isn't being cynical that is being honest. Having my heart shattered into a million pieces has done that
Interestingly I am not more cautious over relationships with friend too...I take them at face value. experience has taught me that even female friends will use people for their own means and gains... |

I stopped trying to understand human nature a while ago, I now accept it for all its flaws and if I find a piece of it I don't like, I just walk away.

Relationships have (in the past) been the one thing that almost broke me, but through it I have a far better understanding of who I am.
A relationship can propel you to the dizzying heights of bliss or plumb the depths of despair - all through the power of words.
As for now? Id love another relationship with someone that wants to be with me for who I am - but not for what they can achieve or as a stepping stone for something better. I've fixed too many broken people in my life only to have them leave me for something they perceived as better..... |

cynical, wiser, wary and happier too.
years ago people were more likely to stay married, one reason being that they didnt expect so much and a lot of women didnt have anywhere else to go
so people stayed together and made the most of it.Most married couple arent happy all the time same as single people arent, you have to take the good with the bad. my parents were always bickering and i wondered why they were together, then when my mum died my dad was devastated he realy missed her.
my hubby drives me mad sometimes but he has got good points and i doubt i would find anyone as nice as him ever, not going by the other men i have met
i wouldnt get involved with another man only as a friend, i wouldnt want to live alone as i am used to being with someone and i need a man to catch the spiders. i wouldnt expect too much though that way you arent disapointed. |
