I don't have to cry, I'm a stronger person than I thought, shame I didnt control the crying in the relationship! I was once a wimp, and I can honestly I have not cried since 18th February 2008. Wierd!

Well one thing I learned that it's important in any relationship is that it's still most important to look after number 1. Being selfish is ok. It's your life afterall, and your partner is just a participant in your reality.

Sure break ups suck at the time, but once you've figured out why things went wrong, I believe they are the best thing next to a good ol slap in the face to bring you back to reality if the relationship got out of hand!

But I have always been told that to cry is a sign of weakness, by my family, some friends and my ex. My ex wouldnt go near me if I cried. And when we broke up, I didnt cry once, somehow I managed to stay really strong over losing the person i thought was the one, the guy I thought I was going to marry, I was shattered, totally heartbroken. And I didnt cry, still havent

I learned that you dont go out with someone and continue a relationship with them even though they really annoy you, have different beliefs and they disagree with practially everything you say- it can only end badly!

Who'd have guessed.

The thing i have learned is not to have anymore relationships .......... working pretty well so far ........

Never let someone put you down that it makes you feel so worthless again, years of mental abuse does not help in ones confidence & self worth

1 good thing ? hmmmmmmm?

Never stock her fridge up with beer the day before you dump her. Such a waste ! It was a lesson well learned

After 23 years of marriage, I am pleased I composed myself quickly and got out looking straight away. All the crap that come out of that lying arse's mouth I shrug off.

I've learnt a few things from breakups, mainly that the more immature the person your with the worse the breakup is going to be. I tend to avoid emotionally immature people like the plague

My first breakup was a 'hell hath no fury' situation, the woman and her friends made it their mission in life to destroy me. We were all 18/19

Second breakup, i was with someone who was 27 i was 20. She dumped me and intead of cutting me off cold turkey, she actually talked to me. We are still friends to this day because both of us were reasonable people who acted properly and respectfully to each other.

Every breakup since then has been a varied combination of the second. Talk, be honest and be reasonable to people. If they are unreasonable with you it just gives you the moral high ground (which does help when your at your weaker moments).

Dont cheat, she will have your balls for tea..
