What I have learn is never attempt to change who you are for someone else. Be yourself and no pretensions. With falling in love pain is the best teacher. With pain we have to embrace it. With pain and love you can't have one without the other. Have a nice evening to all of you!

I disagree Jhordie. I think a person in love should expect things....like loyalty, trust, a commitment, tolerance, truth, communication, respect. If you are not getting and giving these things there is not really love between you.
Do not settle for less than what you want.

so i guess.. I should clarify one thing... DO NOT EXPECT to be loved as well like YOU DO. But I would definitely agree with YOU that we should expect those qualities from our partners as well. Thanks for enlightening me. I LOVE THE LAST LINE... Do not settle for LESS than what we want. THANKS for sharing that.

Hello n30wing! I think what I have learned from falling in love is being patient. I am very patient with my husband that we don't have time to talk because he is busy for work. Imagine he works 14 hours a day just to get me to the US. Being far from each other is a test of our patience too and I can't believe that 5 months have past since we are together.

I have learned that everyone will not show you the love and respect you deserve, or the love and respect you show them at least. Some people are greedy and cannot fathom sharing anything with you like that. If you are not getting what you deserve out of a relationship, you should get out while you still can. Someone is out there for you and you don't have to settle for just anyone when you know you can do better.
If you are not happy with the situation then she/he is not for you. Never short change yourself! I feel if I hand my heart to someone it should be taken seriously, and the same goes both ways. If they are not willing to embrace you completely they are not worthy of you.

Hi shamsta I think if were not giving what we deserve to, so let it go. But it depends everyone will meet the right guy or woman. But setting someone who loves you so dearly I wont let it go. Seldom you could see someone who will accept you for what you are, and that person should be a treasure or should be taken precious to you. I rather keep it on my heart and my mind. Have a wonderful evening! Keep on smiling!

There are many lessons we learn from falling in love. In my opinion falling in love is a traumatic experience and if you want to know more about my experience then here is the link to my poem that describes my experience most.

yes true enough. there is always pain in love. well, you put it out in a such beautiful way. well, for me what i learn is i must stop falling when i'm falling in love. what i meant was i tend to forget about myself and put myself second and my partner first.

My lesson from love: Keep it simple.
thats it. The pain and heartache caused to so many people when love and relationships get "complicated" or "messy". So when you find the one for you, don`t be distracted stay focused and true. If your lucky your partner will do the same to you x
