I had an ex 4 years ago, and we've been together roughly 3 years. He was my first serious bf, even he was a j*rk and a wom*nizer. I know you would think I'm so st*pid, but I was in love and blind. I was immature but despite of all these, I know you people would think I was just wasting my time with some *ss, sure is, I was, however I've learned more with this relationship and made me become a better person. I've grown up and made myself to decide wisely in the future relationship. So, let me ask you this question, do you think you are you wasting your time on someone?

I feel you never are wasting time. I think we meet certain people for a reason. And we as people need to figure out what the reason is. WE learn from each other and that is how we learn by mistakes. This is my opinion on the matter. TO me when I meet someone or bump into someone there is a reason behind it. See you even said youself you feel more grown up now because of this realtionship it might have not been the right person but in the end you will meet the right person I feel because of what you learned in that realtionship. I hope this is what you were getting at. Happy mylotting and have a great day online.

Well i wasted a lot of time with my exes. They're all bound to be doomed together with the relationship i had with them. I had a ex who's a devoted Mormon. I'm a Catholic. She's my first girlfriend. Obviously, sooner or later the relationship will end. It just ended faster because she's too possessive that i couldn't stand being with her anymore. I had a girlfriend who's 8 years younger than me. There's really nothing serious about it so again, it's bound to be doomed. To cut the story short, my last girlfriend whom i waited for almost a year since she's working in the Middle East, was impregnated by a jerk and she even had to guts to tell me to wait for him even if she was 3 months pregnant. I only knew about it from her friends who broke the news to me. What waste of precious time i should've spent for the right one.

Aww.. I'm sorry to hear your stories, but as we all know that's how life is. We live by it and we have to deal the surreal and superficial world. So I'm just wondering, would it be the same pain like when girls found out that their guys are hitting the other bebots and got them knocked up and comparing to guys who found out their gfs got knocked up by other men? I don't know about this feeling, seems for sure really worst feeling ever! Or at least second to the worst than having your wife or husband get knocked up or knocked up by someone else... Yikes! Argh

I don't think any relationship is a waste of time if you learn something from it. I had a very emotionally painful marriage and divorce and right after the break I was lamenting wasting so many years on that man. Now I know it wasn't a waste, that I learned a lot from the relationship about myself and about people. I'm glad you learned from your love affair. Be sure not to forget those lessons! One lesson should be to tame your heart so it doesn't dominate your reason.

True to that! We've learned a lot from the past, and we become better as who are.

I woundn't waste my time on someone who was not worthy. Time is life, yong lady. You probably would miss someone you should really cherish. You would left him anyway, soon or later. Good luck.

I don't think I am wasting my time on the man I am dating. He is wonderful to me and treats me the way I expect to be treated. I did waste four years on someone who didn't treat me right, he talked down to me, barely spent time with me etc. But like you said I was love and blind. Sometimes it just takes something big before we say enough is enough when it comes to relationships.

I totally feel you. Just like you, I was 'stuck' in a relationship for 7 years. When the relationship ended, I thought I had wasted so much time with him. But the matter of the fact is, I learned to be a very strong woman. And even though the relationship ended, I can't say that it was all bad. There were a lot of wonderful memories and the mistakes that we made on both our parts will only make me a wiser person now. So yeah, I don't think you wasted your time and no, you weren't stupid either. :)

Well I am not really wasting my time with someone right now and In fact I need more time for the person that I am having right now because we are in the far distance..We are both happy and making ourselves happy.There are parts of my life that is wasted in terms of the music career.Well I wasted for almost 1 year not working with it and refused a lot of contract which was a really big mistake I made.Now,I am trying to move on with it and do my thing because I need to be with my special person.You can check my song in www.myspace.com/flodawny Thats my project and its already available on itunes too..

The key is to find someone that really likes you for you. You would not waste your time in such relationships if you really knew what you wanted and didn't settle for the first guy that thought you were hot stuff.

well i don't know if you call it a waste of time, i did wait for this girl for about three years.. and i kinda "reject" others that were trying to approach me. Well i finally managed to "hooked" up with her but only for a short time, due to a miss communication she left me for another man not so long ago....

I am a guy and had a girl "freind". She went out with this guy for 4 months and they just didn't seem happy together. I just don't understand why you would continue to waste your time on something that has nothing of good interest for you. I do however agree that love is blind and sneaky and hope things will get better for you. :)

Well I feel that you never waste your time. Basically I am with someone and it just depends on how much you love that person and what all you are willing ot do. To be honest Iam happy with him period, so i would not trade it for anything in the world. You can never waste time just give it, but it depends how you feel casue if you feel like you are wasting time them maybe you are. Spending time gives you a better outlook on what to expect next.
