Mistakes only make us stronger

The only mistake that I've ever made in a relationship was the fact that I was too trusting. I believed everything that my ex-boyfriend told me because I was brought up to trust people. Later, I found out that everything that I'd been told by him was a lie. It was one of the hardest things for me to accept. Not only did I lose a boyfriend (but hey, in the long run that was a good thing). I also lost friends and a job because of it. However, I came out of that relationship knowing that I didn't have to believe everything that I was told. It wasn't long after that I met a man to whom I am now married that made me realize that not all people are bold-faced liers.

It depends on the mistakes. I know that we make them every day, some we don't even acknowledge until someone points them out to us, or until we're reminded of what we did or said hours later. But it really depends on the type of mistake you make, the person's intent and the severity of it. I mean, at the end, no matter how big or small your mistake, you will learn from it, but you shouldn't be so willing to make mistakes just to learn from them. And in relationships, you should try not to keep messing up because after a while it gets to the point where you think, okay, what's the point of this anymore? If you're with someone you shouldn't have to constantly forgive them or overlook their mistakes.

Yes, there are many differences between common mistakes and the mistakes in relationship. Usually, A mistake may mean a heavy blow for us, but we can become stronger after a failure if we can face it bravely. But when it comes to the mistakes, most people tend to be tolerant of the other side, which is common if one want to keep a steady relationship with others. In a relationship, the worst mistake for me is that I paid no attention to my ex-girlfriend when I was busy my work. At last, we broke up and I thought it was my mistakes that led the bad result at last.

Nope, and hopefully will not have one. If I will categorized it, bad mistakes means I have done terribly wrong which will make my relationship crumbles. An example of this would be a mistake that would result in losing a "trust" (hard to earn back). So far I hadn't made one. Forgivable mistakes are often committed but we used it to make our relationship even stronger.

Yes I've experienced that before even now that I am married for me that makes our relationship stronger as a spouse and since we know what it cause we did our best not to commit the same mistake again.

yeah i dont aply it there but i skate and everytime i fall it just makes me stronger and its what halps me still do it

The one mistake I can never forget in my life is I forgot to remember my mistakes and its learnings. Everytime I did mistakes, I use to forget it and move on just to make my mind free of anything but now I cant look back. Someone has said that if you are doing a mistake, you are actually trying new things. If you are not doing any mistake then you are not perfect but you are not trying new things in life. I do believe so but mistake can be stepping stone only if you remember the mistake you did and learn from it. Otherwise it will become the biggest mistake of life and I am the living example of it. I have a nice story to tell but will share it my profile sometime later as I am still in the learning curve and coming out of my mistakes slowly actually very slowly. hmmm...

First of all, I don't believe in regrets. I believe in learning from mistakes but regretting things don't do anyone any good. Best learn from them. Well, if I would have to pick one incident though about something to regret in relationships, it would have to be that I had once given too much. I was too kind and trusting to my ex that he had cheated from me and stole from me. I even took abuse from his family on his account. He was a pathological liar and blamed me for the things that he did. So, in turn, his family would ring me and nag me about things like spending HIS money when in fact, he had been spending my money and wasting his own cash on dumb things.
