Hi!
I just want to hear others side about this topic. Would you treasure the past relationship? I my opinion, no matter how good it was but it's better to leave it and closed the door behind it. A person can't move on if he/she alwasy live in his past.
For doing so he may hurt his new partner.

You're very right. I don't know what it is but I can't get over the past. I always find myself thinking about it.

Maybe, you have many things around you to remind the past. Why don't you try to lock it then open another door? Just treasure it and close the book.. put in the shelf for a collection... hehehe kidding aside, that's the most problem of individual. If you can find a replacement for the past then surely you will forget the first one.

Well when I finally do leave a relationship, it is already past over, so yes I really do close the doors behind me, I never look back. I do not even want to see my ex's again.There is no way I would ever remain friends with them after a break-up.It is time to move on to better things, you can not do this with excess bagage from a past relationship.You can not move on, livong in the past..

The past must be buried but not forgot ( forgive but not forget i guess). If you can't let go of the past, you can't really approach the present, never mind the future.
I guess everyone of us even if they say and quite forget about their past relationship, they compare in a higher or lower manner the actual relationship with the ex one.
Personally i always looked for something better than the last relationship, so that i can be satisfied with myself - and yes i know that only made things hard, but it was worth it, now i am finally satisfied with what i have.
Take care friend !

"It was impossible to stand in someone's shadow as the sun moved on". Nice!
Excellent! get the better one and don't compare. Past was over, having another one is another experience, You ca;t enjoy the present having the shadow of the past. IT simply hurt the present relationship.

"Learn from your past, Not live in it!!" My father told me this once when I was a child & it's one of the things that stuck in my head to this day... This may sound selfish but if the relationship is over, then I will take what I need out of the relationship & learn from it, then move on & forget the rest... "Those who forget the past are bound to repeat it" Some famous guy said that, I think... I don't focus on relationship but rather, focus on mistakes I've made during it so I don't make it again and also try to remember what works so I can make my current relationship better...

I would guess that a lot of people would not treasure a past relationship. I do treasure a relationship I had in the past though. Unfortunately the relationship ended through tragic circumstances, when we were still in love. I did learn a lot from that relationship: always be there for the one that you love, and when you meet someone who is on the same wavelength as you are it is such an amazing feeling.
After that, I was in another relationship where my heart was broken. I never think about that relationship anymore, the woman in that relationship means nothing to me whatsoever.
The woman in the first relationship is still special to me as she taught me a lot about what it's like to love someone, to be with someone, and to help someone through their troubled times. Maybe I'll have the chance to thank her for that sometime in the future.

Sorry to hear that. d'you rhink you compared your past to present relationship? If you valued the first one and wanted to shape the second one to become the first one, then, i guess that's not fair. Of course, i don't know the real score.
Sorry again, I dont have the second relationship, not a chance anymore so i cant compare but i can relate. I wish you can find another one whom will put color in your lfie again.
