Falling for the wrong ones makes you appreciate

So I was in love before with a dude who I would do absolutely anything for and he just couldn't do the same in return, but to this day I still love him. Don't confuse what I said though, I am no longer in love with him. There is a difference. I feel that sometimes in order to have a great a great appreciation for a good thing you have to endure and overcome something something bad. Do you agree? Do you think that having bad experiences in love and life help you to appreciate the good things? Or do you think that appreciation will be there regardless?

..sure.. I do agree with you.. having survive the hurt, we could see now the bright side of things.. experiences will teach us that life isn't being happy always.. and experiences will help us deal with anything that will come into our lives so that we will not make the same mistakes again and again..

I know what you mean, I have dated some losers in my past, and they did not really love me, though I loved them a lot. But now I have a great guy that would do just about anything for me, and now I truly know what it feels like to be loved by someone who appreciates you as much as you appreciate them. By dating the bad ones I have learned to really appreciate the love I have now, I am so happy with the man I am in a relationship with. I used to think there was fighting in all relationships, and many problems, but now I have none of that. It is so good. I am glad that I had bad experiences in the past to learn from so I could start fresh and new with a better person that really cares about me. I am definitely holding on to this one!
