[b]For me, bad relationship in the past turns me to be ready to take the future ones work...I allow myself to grow from paste experiences...and thus, bad relationship in the past should be a lesson that i've learned and never take it in the next relationship...so I always see to it that I contribute and give the best with the relationship I am with...so there's no regret at all...maybe he weren't just the right one...so keep going... How bout you, care to share? Happy mylotting![/b]

Well.. I don't know that. I can't see the future, I would never know what would be happened in the future. I am not going to say which one is better, because I think every relationship has their own positive and negative side. The thing is, people always learn something from the past experience, and in this case, people learned from the past relationship. They would be able to avoid the same old problems and they would be able to dodge the same troubles. So theoretically it should be better. But who knows? :)

I guess one can only take the lessons learnt and hope the next one is better, I always think it is better to have lost than never loved....you have to try...and have fun while you are at it...

Every relationship that ends makes way for a new one that could be better. If you're the kind of person that uses their losses to improve and try to make gains then you're pretty fortunate. Most people don't do this. They just keep repeating the same thing over and over. Good luck with the new one.

I agree with you one learns through experience and although one may not work out that does not mean give up on relationships as a whole. I do beleive that my last relationship of five and half years helped me in figuring out what I could do to improve my next and to always know that no matter how long you have known someone you can never know them enough.

Yes i have and we've been together for six years and we already got engage. We have to call it quits because she cheated on me and the sad thing is she got pregnant with another guy. I dont know if i blame myself for that because were really far apart from each other that maybe i havent given her much attention and time thats why she falls for another. But i already forgiven her. Right now im in a relationship and im very much sure that this is forkeeps. We have a lot of time together and we both understand each other when it comes on decision makings and we meet halfway on other things. Thats one thing before that i havent done in my past relationship.

I guess everybody has got bad relationship b4 they will move on to the next one ^_^ I do have plenty of bad ones, and till date, i've got only 2 nice ones.. Those i will say are bad ones, because there are always arguments, if not, we dun have time to see each other.. And everytime a relationship of mine ends, i thought i can always do better in the next one, but things always turns out totally differently from the previous one.. Thus, every relationship is a new lesson as well as a new beginning, no 2 relationships can be the same, because they are different ple, with differect character.. Even they are of same character, the way they handle things will be different too.. SO, to me, every new relationship, is the beginning and i won't associate any to the past ^_^

I guess you will never know whether your next relationship would be better. But what's important is that you have learned your lessons in your past relationships and do you best not to commit the same mistakes again. These type of experiences in life make us better. It prepares us for new encounters that come our way. Happpy mylotting!
