What have you learned from your previous relationship(s)?

I have learned to stand up for what I believe in. I have learned to communicate in a relationship and that friendship is all important in the beginning of any relationship. I have learned alot of strength and staytoitiveness. And to fight for what is right. Tell the truth no matter what.

Each relationship was a whole different experience. I learned at a young age that people can not be everything you want. When choosing significant others or even temporary seasonal love as some may call it, I find myself finding 1 or 2 things I really like about a person then spending time to get to know that person. First thing I judge about my potential partner is will that person judge me for any decision I decide in any part of my life. More less, is he/she open minded or shallow and will they try to change who you are for what they want you to be. I also look in a friendship. Always believed you would be with your best friend because that is who is there for you no matter what. I like to give myself a time frame, how far a head can I see myself with this person. These are all things I developed with every relationship, to find what would make me happy to fulfill my life choices and all them to keep theirs and still work together as a team of life. Life is too short, I find if there is no personal connection with someone, then how can you both be happy with each other? It may take you a day, a month, and even years, but the moment you feel you, things just don't feel right, it's time to move on. people do change their minds. As for the queen song stated and the quote, I am strongly a believer that if you start out with just being mostly physical calling that love is more lustful. the only connection you have and will get used to would be physical and care less to get to know anything else about each other which will kill you in the end.

I have been into different kind of relationships and I learned some thing like we have to think of ourselves. It is fine to love and care for someone you love, but you have to consider reserving something for yourself. Fight for someone who is worth it to love and likewise fights for you. Hence, follow your instincts.

The biggest thing that I have learned in relationships is that.. the biggest regret that we usually end up having is when we fail to see what could have been learned sooner... the beauty known as hindsight. I've also learned that if there's a reason that you never learn their house phone number and that they never seem to want you to have any sort of photograph of them that there's always a reason for it...and 99% of the time that reason isn't a good one. I've learned that love can break just as much, if not more, than the things that it can make. I've learned that once you truly love someone, you will always love them on some minute level. The guys in .38 Special had it down pat. "Hold on loosely and don't let go, if you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control." We all falter. A short term extra-marital affair after 15 years of marriage IS different than cheating on your girlfriend of 5 months, irregardless of what anyone may tell you. While some parts of us never change, certain things about our lives constantly evolve... Like it, or not. It's important to grow not only as a couple, but to grow as an individual as well.

I believe that you take something from each relationship that you have. i have learned a lot about love and commitment and caring from my previous relationships. It may not seem important at the time, but when you reflect on it, it is there to see.

I've had 5 relationships in my life and I learnt a lot from them. I don't think that in a relationship there are right or wrong choices, since if a person really loves you there's no need to make choices. The only real decision related to a story is in the beginning: a person is good for you or it's not. That's all. Do I agree with The Queen? No, "too much love can kill you" unless you learn from it. Mistakes forge us, and that's a fact.

well... i make sure that i learn something from every person that comes into my life. I think i learned in my very last relationship is to listen to people when they speak to me. If you listen and not only hear what you want, people will tell you who they really are.

patience and understanding.. lots of that. hehehe.. my last one was a long distance relationship, that's why. the is hard to understand things i can't explain very much. and i'm the type of person who doesn't like talking and explaining especially if it's so easy to have it figured out by our brains. but the guy was just so pursuant with everything he hears and he sees about/from me. hehehe.. but we're good until now. we're friends and we sometimes talk. i'm not in a relationship right now but i'm goin out with a guy. and i think it's kind useful. though this whatever relationship we have right now is not a long distance relationship but my last one was a very long time ago. i'm no longer used to being with a guy. so i do what i do and sometimes don't wanna understand the demand of having a partner. hehehe.. but yeah.. it's fun.

I learned to love and let go. And the most important thing is I learned to love myself more than anything else.

Hi inkyuboz, Well life is constantly changing and everyone learns something daily and from a break up of course it is a hugh learning experience. The song you mention feel so close to my heart though i haven't heard this song but the words look so real. Now lessons well first is never love anyone so much that it goes in their head and their head swell. Second is it is a kicking game who kicks whom so you better be kicker rather than getting kicked in behind.

The main thing that I learned from the relationships that I had prior to my relationship with my husband is that I don't have to live my life in a bubble. Before I met my ex, I believed that everyone in the world was as lucky as my family was and had as much as we have. However, my ex was not nearly as materially lucky as I was and I learned from him that you don't have to have a lot of material objects to be happy in your life. This has been a great thing for me to have learned because our family isn't rich but I know that we are still blessed.

Actually i am still on process of healing from my past and first relationship It is very hard but I know that is part of our life. Even though its hard,i know i must go on and one day, one will come to heal aches from the past.

I learn, before you really start to have relationship with a guy, you should understand him enough, if not, never give too much of yourself to him. Because you will never know what kind of a guy he really is
