| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 3/29/2008 5:47:57 AM | NEVER ...EVER........put things that she wants you to buy for her on a credit card!!!! If you don't have the cash....then it will have to wait. The only things you should ever put on a credit card are the absolute necesities!!! Food,gas,propane,child care.......those kind of things....NOT an expensive air conditioner a vacuum and a dishwasher(because she is too lazy to use the sink like everyone else) because when she leaves and takes all of these things with her.....you are stuck paying the bil for the next few years!!!!! | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 3/29/2008 9:27:38 PM | There are sooooo many things I've learned.....
I learned about who I am; where my boundaries are, where my strengths and weaknesses are; what I'm willing to put up with and what I'm not; and that being single is hard!!!!!!!!
I learned to take my time and get to know the other person before making a committment (I might have learned this too well!!!).
I've learned that people can change their habits but WHO we are on the inside doesn't really change much through our lives.
I've learned that the grass really isn't much greener on either side but has a lot to do with perception.
I've also learned that the key to happiness isn't about getting what we want but wanting we have. That's a hard lesson. Happiness comes from within, not from others :) | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 4/26/2008 6:20:14 AM | | I learned what I DON`T ever want in another person ever again through my EX. I also learned to be stronger because of him but then again thats something I always had in me before I met him. He just happen to be the person who taught me to use that strength again. | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 5/12/2008 7:34:04 AM | | What did I learn from my ex .... easy .... never do that again LOL , but seriously , I learned to look for someone more mature and one that knows what she wants from life , I`ve learned no matter how much you love someone and if they don`t love you back the same way , you have nothing , its best to walk away . I learned that if 2 people don`t work together on a relationship , its doomed . | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 5/12/2008 11:09:39 AM | ^^^ I agree it was a waste of many years.. been single for 2.5 yrs and love it! I reduced my home footprint so its "chick unfriendly" infact no room for a women so like anyting in life you take away variables from the equation to solve your problems permanently.
List:
1.What did I learn.. ummm I am a stupid mofo and you cant change people. 2. What else. ummmm I am a sucker and I am way too nice of a guy 3. What else.. not all women can be trusted even after years... some can and the process takes a life time. 4.When you are the willing one and always help you can separate your friends from your fake ones because they wont help you when your in desperate need. 5. What else.. start by checking out this w omens parents and life history before getting involved, ask if there is mental illness in the family alcoholism or drug issues. 6. what else... Women that are super hot.. can have great personalities similarly women that are super unattractive can have horrible personalities. Looks mean nothing, nothing lipo and plastic surgery cant fix. Therefore if you are in a public place easiest way to get to know someone is by talking to them while you look at the ceiling and count ceiling tiles not giving them any eye contact and feeding their desire for attention. 7. what else... try to avoid anything that looks like my ex.. aka no blondes no women with blue eyes no women that are skinny most definitely no pretty women at all. 8. ( elaboration on 6. ) best way to get to know a girl is when both of you are stuck in a public place and introduced with blind folds on.
there is more I guess it would take all day all night and then some.
Basic gist is.. dont date not worth the aggravation better off with mail order brides ,
who said you couldnt communicate with someone with hand signals and body movement! you can!
atleast that way you can learn to like them for who they are maybe learn a language, new cooking style and learn to teach someone that hasnt been corrupted by media and our fu ck ed up society.
Laughs... dont get me wrong.. love women .. just cant get enough of them.. but avoid most of them like a bubonic plague and typically head to the hills screaming.. o no not another coo coo. See thats why I am athletic because I run a lot! | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 5/13/2008 8:15:42 PM | What did I learn? That no matter how much you have loved and been loved, you need to be proactive about keeping your relationship alive and well. It takes work and you must love enough to do the work.
It's easy to be trite and say I learned to not do that again! But we don't really feel that way, inside we really want to learn something and that's how to not get hurt again. I hope I have learned that it's my own responsibility to take care of my happiness, no one else should have to feel responsible for that part of me, nor I, them.
We were born to love each other, it's a natural instinct of humans. If we could just relax and let our nature take it's course we'd all be much happier, I think. But so often, we feel the need to push the limits and the boundaries, or we become impatient when what we want doesn't come along soon enough.
I'm so grateful to be human, female and my age and state of being right now. I feel true happiness for the first time in years and it's because I've just realized my own independance. I'm good company for me and I take good care of me too. I don't need anything or anyone to complete me, I'm complete right now. It's a good thing, as Mz Stewart would say. | |

| What did you learn from your ex?? Posted: 8/17/2008 9:53:15 PM | | oh gees i dunno where to began lol he was a great guy even still to this day i think the world of him .We might not be together but hes shown me so much on how life can be so different from someone else point of view since we broke up ive learned that I needed to re think things over on where and how im gonna live my life . I work alot hard for things now that I want in life I dont give up as easy as I use too . I learn to have a backbone and stick up for myself and not to give a care on what others think always was type to worry about what others thought about me etc now the way i look at it is im whom i am this is me if you dont like me oh well too bad life s too short to sit and cry over sillyness So now im a single mom working full time job and I dont let things get to me like i use too .Now I became very picky on which guy I think is right for me because Ive found that spark with someone and im pretty sure Ill maybe someday find it again with someone it takes time and everything happens for a reason. | |
