Made with Love

Mistakes we have made in life.

So many to talk about but a smart woman had the perfect sentence.

I have come to believe that all romantic entanglements come with an expiration date.

Bless you girl.

not sure I would agree. I saw a poster on FB today about why relationships used to last longer.

Back in our day, when something was broken, we fixed it. We didn't just throw things out.

I think it applies to romantic relationships and friendships. We tend to treat things and people as disposable too often. I think our lives would be richer if we placed more value in preserving what we have instead of assuming that everything is replaceable.

You are living in the old age I believe in you era.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Maybe...both individuals become wiser.....
Mistakes are a learning tool.....even ones of the heart.....

[The Rules for being Human

When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better. 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next lesson.


5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."
8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life -- or someone else will.
10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract -- therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.
13. You will forget all this.
14. You can remember any time you wish.
 
I have never treated my body as a temple but maybe I should have not treated it like a Rolling Stones Tour Bus
 
funny, some of the biggest mistakes in my life turned out to be some of the best things I've ever done.....

I live by the motto: those who don't take risks, don't get ahead.....so I have taken big risks over the years, really, none of them have really panned out but still, what a ride lol
 
On that note...

I once left a lesbian porn DVD in the machine... Mrs. CG found it... :SayWhat?:

The rest as they say is history. :biggrin2:
 
The biggest mistake I made was getting married to a blood sucking leech!

Now the best thing I ever did was get a divorce!:YMPARTY: The blood sucking continues but at least I could shave my boys in peace and walk around in my underwear jiggling my boys!:YMPARTY:

funny you say that (about a blood sucking leach) just this week someone was asking me why I never got married, had kids etc and I told them, everyone my age I knew who got married and had kids, has nothing but problems in their life due to divorce, child support payments, alimony, etc....that is why I thank god every day that there by the grace of god go I......

A guy I work with pays $110 a week in child support...he said "hell, it doesn't cost $100 a week to feed house and clothe a kid, hell, except for gas, it doesn't cost $100 a week to support ME" (and he went on to say his current wife and 2 kids suffer because he's paying so much to his first)......

Yup, marriage is really the biggest and possible worse business venture and individual could make.

Every marriage should begin with a contract which is to be followed no matter what upon a break up. It should include what is done with children etc....

Pre-nups from what I hear are regularly challenged on a regular basis.

Nice to hear you Boys whining....and when it is one of the women...well
all of a sudden you guys can solve her problem....by doing her......

The longer I dwell in the complete destruction of my family...the trust and love I felt
for the man in my life....Well was it worth it...was it.....Yes, why because I would not
have known love....but on the other hand I would not have known total destruction of my
soul and heart....the lost of trust....realization of how control I was.... but there is the willingness to
be open and explore........ then there is the weeping...the thoughts of hurting myself and the sadness
and sorrow....My poems of destruction and emptiness.....My son lost and I am hoping my son
will return....

The health issues with pain with the depression that goes with that.....

There is so much I have learned in my life....how I have grown....My son....
So even if there was a contract ......that just solves the money but it does
not solve the destruction of a life with a person you Love.....
Does not solve how broken you feel, the lost of trust...the security and
warmth of a relationship....the lost of a life you have build...and was hoping to
grow older, have fun....How does a contract solve this......

Ok I am depress, December is Hell for me......Sorry...:sorry2:

That's a nice theory, but it only works if both parties in the relationship feel that way. If someone decides to throw you away, there's nothing to be done about it.

Absolutely. Anyone who has been in a one-side relationship knows that its better to be single than to be the only person putting in any effort.

I wouldn't quite word it as "throw you away". More like "Too dumb to appreciate the awesomeness that is you" ;)

Sure there is. Cancel all their credit cards. Subscribe them to all sorts of disreputable magazines, and have them mailed to their place of work. The classic sugar in the gas tank. And who can forget setting fire to their bed...Preferably with them in it...Wait, I've said too much..

Now you see why it's probably best I don't bother with relationships.
 
^^^ lol not too vindictive are you???

let me guess, someone burned you bad at some point didn't they?

I guess I should have said "there's nothing to be done about it if you want to act like a grownup."
