If the relationship turned sour

Philippines

I have heard a man told me that if his marriage turned sour, he will not remarry.I asked him why and his answer was "LOOK WHAT I AM DOING TO MAKE THE RELATIONSHIP WORKS.." I don't get him that time. I don't even believe him because I was well aware of that he was doing something behind his wife's back. I was telling myself then " YEAH, RIGHT. TELL IT TO THE MARINES. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING? YOU HAVEN'T SEPARATED WITH YOUR WIFE YET AND SHE'S NOT EVEN DEAD YET BUT YOU ARE ALREADY LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTE..." If my marriage will tuned sour, I'll not stop my self from being happy again with someone else. I still love to be loved, needed and depended on when he (hubby) is out of my life.:) How about you?

Some people are like this they are the ones that cause the pain in the relationships yet walk around looking for sympathy. The best thing for anyone to do after a break up is to allow time to heal and or find themselves first. As after being in a relationship for some time we have modified and made adjustments in areas perhaps we were not happy. So once alone we need to gather our thoughts and think a bit clearly before we get wrapped in another relationship too soon. Doing so means we now carry our old baggage with us to inflict upon another victim.

i absolutely agree with you hardworkinggurl. some people believe they will be able to get over their heartaches after a breakup by finding another lover... i say this is like getting someone to use and be a shock absorber. poor victim. in the end, it won't work out well. i don't how to explain it further but i feel like this.

Emotional baggage is something we do not recognize especially when a new love interest comes around so the rightful thing, if even for the sake of our own healthy sanity is to simply wait out for a bit to find ourselves.

Hello, Hardworkinggurl.:) I do agree that it is not a wise thing to jump into a new relationship after a break up. It is unfair for the other person to drag her/him into your life when you aren't ready to start anew yet. Yes, better to heal first....

Hi! I would be brief - I wish that I should never land in such a situation, where my marriage turned sour. I wish that it should remain intact and I will continue to make efforts for its success.

It is true on my part, I will do my best to strengthen the relationship. Remember 'eureka' all men cannot be alike and they are not alike, as all five fingers in our hand are different.

It isn't fair to judge all relationships by one bad one. the next relationship you find yourself in may be the best one of your life!

You have a point. Everybody deserves to be loved and be happy. If we failed the first time, work harder the next time you enter into a relationship to make it work. Everybody has a different story to tell. Besides, the world is round. You maybe down at first, but soon enough you'll be up there having the grandest time of your life...

Hello, Inday.:)I'm glad I have tickled your thoughts and despite of the not- a -good- thing -to- share -side of my post, I made you laugh.:) Will you delibrately look for him or you will just wait for him to come into your life? Because I'd rather wait for him than to look for him. I might be looking at the wrong places if I do.:) Laying all your cards on the table with the new partner will seem help avoid the same mistake we did with an ex.If he accepts you after telling him exactly what you expect form the relationship and him, then, you deserve to be happy, indeed.:) I don't wanna grow old alone and lonely...:)

Well, it's truly devastating and heart-breaking when one's relationship fails, much more with marriage. When two persons decide to get married, they must have been so much in love that they wanted to be in a long-time commitment and give up every nice thing about singleness. It takes a lot of deep emotions, effort, time, etc. to get married so when it fails, it's hard to start all over again. We can't really blame these people who have a tough time in dealing with this kind of situation and would probably shut love out of their lives. Though having said that, we also can't generalized all relationships or marriages to be a failure in the end. We shouldn't let one painful experience rule over our whole lives. We don't have to live alone or be miserable for the rest of our lives, we have a choice, We can either live with regrets and bitterness or accept the situation, learn from it, and move forward with hope. I believe in second chances, that love when lost in our lives will find it's way back again if we let it in once more. I don't mean with the same person who have hurt us, it can be somebody else, though the first one is still possible. Love is for everyone, it has no exceptions, love knows no limits. We can actually fall in love as many times as we can, well, with the right reason of course, though it's better not to experience getting hurt many times. We live our lives with certain hopes and desires in our hearts and I'm pretty sure one of them is to love and be loved in return. If that is the case, then we shouldn't stop our quest for love when we get hurt once or twice or maybe more. Just like what I've read before, "Love is always new no matter how many times we fall in love". =)

Very well said, Yna.:) This is a word from a person who has so much faith in love. I admire you for looking at life and love that way.You have stated all possibilities and reasons why we should or shouldn't engange in love . I love the last phrase you put here,"Love is always new no matter how many times we fall in love". Which will always motivate me to keep on looking for love. :)

Isn't it an irony that love and pain always intertwined? But we are still lucky to experienced being loved even for a short while.:)

thanks eurekafemme for appreciating my response. I'm glad I've shared something that will somehow help you to be motivated when finding love. =) You're right, I really believe in the power of love, though I must admit that I've been also hurt a lot of times before. :)

If I ever get married, and if it doesn't work out (which I hope wont happen), I'll find a great deal of my time for myself first to analyze what went wrong, what are my shortcomings and his, too...and also to be fully prepared to another battle of life that I have to face..alone. But then I won't deprive myself from loving again. Everyone deserves a second chance, it's just a matter of putting things in the right perspective, right time, and hopefully with the right person. I will stop dwelling on the sour past, take the past off the table...I won't heat up leftovers in the hopes of turning what WAS into what IS...instead I will try to start a life of WHAT WILL BE...

That is so true, Bokal. Everybody needs a second chance, in fact, a lot of chances if we want... We all have to move on and forget the past. It is the only way to overcome the crazy games of life and love. Wallowing in the past will not do any good but will only make us live a life in misery... The past almost always teaches us a lesson, sadly, we often learned it the hard way...
