Like in eternal sunshine for the spotless mind? I'm going through a break-up type thing...and I would probably jump at the chance-no regrets LOL
Would you?

Yes, in one instance I think i would. There is one person that I went out with for about six years but broke up with about 2 years ago. I would have married this person, had kids with them, the whole nine yards. Now I pretty much know it's never going to happen. If i could erase her from my memory I would, because everyday I think about her and knowing I won't be with her is too painful. So erase away....

Funny, I had something very sim., although, I met my guy when I was adolescent lock up facility. And I have been with my husband for 3 years now. I often thought about him, even missing him so much I was crying. But because of previous relationships before my husband, and them not understanding my 'obsession' I told my husband that he had died. Finally, I told him the real truth, and odd enough, he wasn't upset, he simply said, "Do you truly believe deep within yourself that it would have worked out? Especially since he hasn't made any great attempt to contact you within all those years?" I at first completely disagreed with him and was angry but the more and more I thought about it, he was right. I had met him at a time when I needed him, a time which almost seemed surreal and magical, and our relationship was on a consistent basis with all the things couples face, finances, family, ect., it probably wouldn't have worked. And then I looked at all the things that attracted me to my husband, and most importantly kept us together and was able to let go of the obsession and keep my previous love just a wonderful memory.

I love that movie. I know when your going through the break up you feel like that because you hope then the pain will go away but I wouldn't do it. Each and every relationship I had, I had for a reason. If I erased them then I would have to erase the lessons learned from them. I know its hard right now but if you try and look at it from the perspective of "what was I supposed to learn from this" it will make it easier. Good luck.

Nope, these past relationships help you grow and learn from them. I know the feeling coz i'm going through the same thing. It does hurt but I'd rather be out of the relationship if it's not meant to be. If it is, then you'll be together one way or the other. Just keep in mind that he's the one missing a great person and you gotta believe that yourself, otherwise you'll be dragging the pain. Good luck.. *hugs*

The best thing about the past is that you can learn from it. Having your heart broken sucks but it also protects you from having it happen again. It's a bit like building immunities to diseases, you have to be sick for a while in order to avoid being sick later. I wouldn't change a thing about the road I've traveled, it brought me to the love of my life!!

no, becuase it has gotten me to where i am now.
people complain alot about how they wish they'd never gone out with this person and so and so because mr. new guy is so perfect, but really, the previous guy has gotten you to where you are now. you're made the mistakes and everything, and it really does make you a better person.
at least in my situation it worked. but no, i wouldnt erase it.

I would never. What's love without pain, happiness without sorrow. I cherish every pinch of memories in my heart, mind, and skin.

No memorys help us from making the same mistakes and are good to be able to share with others.
