I Think Failed Relationships Change People

Failure Is For Machines...

By: TheWomanWhoDid
Written on January 27th, 2013
I am still mourning the loss of my fifth committed love. I have never been the one to end it.

I can only continue to get stronger and more resilient. I am worth waiting for, so I ask anyone who may be interested in the future... please don't hate yourself. I'm tired of being disposable after I "save" people.

    Anyone who is willing to dispose of someone, after that someone opened up and shared their love to allow them to heal, and then leaves. Doesn't realize the emotional bond they just threw away, a bond that would have brought more happiness and joy into their lives over the long run. My heart goes out to you.

    Interesting... because I have had a break up from the opposite end.
    Instead of you helping someone and they dumping you when you've fixed them up, I was with someone who saw herself as a saving angel.
    She couldn't fix me and that frustrated her to no end (maybe because I didn't want to be fixed, I can't be fixed, you're in over your head if you think you can save someone who's been messed up for years), so she blamed me, went cold and took distance.

    I think relationships shouldn't be about fixing people (although a lot of people think that's attractive somehow), but about love, having fun and being there for each other as equals.
    Love can heal wounds with times, it's not needed to try to fix someone, loving them is more than enough. :-)

      I think the same way as you. I always love people as they are...good hearts lose, I suppose.

      Love is dead.

      Disney feeds our children the idea of "love at first sight", while that's lust and nothing more.
      Sex positive culture did the rest: why invest and commit to a relationship when you can **** young sl*ts you meet in a club during weekends too?
      Free sex without the trouble, the best we can do these days is friends with benefits, I just pretended she loved me and that I wasn't 'her project'.

      You mean "casual sex culture"? Love isn't dead and romance was never truly alive.

      Sex positive culture and casual sex culture are intertwined, at least from what I've noticed.

      Love and romance should be more like zombies and vampires... that's why I think vampire love is awesome: you can't leech off of each other. ;-)
