If you could erase all the memories of a broken relationship, would you do it?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Of course not.
Besides being impossible to do, it would be both undesirable and foolish to even seek to be able to do if the option existed.
One can only learn from mistakes or failures if one first admits and accepts what those mistakes or failures have been. Failure is a natural and normal part, admittedly sometimes a very uncomfortable -if not excruciating- part, of learning. The hardest lessons, the ones that challenged or hurt or destroyed the most, are the most valuable to never erase for they are the ones from which we learn, as a result, our greatest strengths.

It is the unresolved enduring anguish and the continuing disabling emotions and the ongoing 'what if' mental gymnastic trickery of the broken relationship, rather than the day-to-day memories of what the relationship was before it broke apart, which require the erasure. For which we use those same new-found strengths -as well as an open mind and open arms and open heart- to do just that.

Answer 3

No. You must have seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", or you should if you haven't.

I think you grow and learn from all relationships, good and bad. Most of the time, I've parted ways with something good out of the relationship. Sometimes, a particular song will come on the radio, or I'll see something in a store that reminds me of someone I knew. I usually recall the good times, and I try to not feel regret.

As I go through life, I find it increasingly impossible not to sometimes feel some regret. But I think that's how it is for everyone. One should be glad for what you have, the love one happened to have found, and the place where you are right now.

Answer 4

At first I thought I would, but I completely changed my mind. I would never know how good the good times really were. I always thought I couldn't really love someone, and now I know I can, and it was wonderful. I would do it all over again and as much heartache and pain as I went through for so many years, I wouldn't take back any of it. You go through pain for a reason. It helps you grow and mature as a person and inevitably teaches you the right and wrong things to do in your next relationship. Learn from the past, or you’re doomed to repeat it.

Answer 5

NEVER !!!
Erase experiences from the ways of love !!
Memories are our diaries, our conscious
diagrams of our experiences. Broken relationships
may represent a false path, yet they circumvent
the feelings we absorbed within our hearts.
In our hearts beats our wisdom from life, erase
our life ?? Woe with us if we think by erasing experience we
would be a better person; we would be missing our
patterns of emotions, our colours of expressions,
we encompass all light and colour within our bodies,
like white light we have every colour of the rainbow,
when we experience feeling colours flow to express
our impression of our lives, to erase memories would
be like taking away a limb, leaving one not whole, not
in natures measure of true life ...

Answer 6

Much like the movie of a few years ago, "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" I would like to remove a bad relationship.

The only thing I take from it was the knowledge that I would never give up my heart like that again...but I already knew it was a bad idea before hand, so basically, it was my fault.

Even though, we are the sum total of our experiences, I would have to say, yes. If only for a small bit of peace.

Answer 7

No because our relationships shape our personality and who we are as a result of it. Not to mention lessons learned.. meaning don't make the same mistake again. Relationships aren't about everything good and nothing bad.. without the bad there is nothing to compare relatively to the good and therefore "good" looses it's qualitative value.

Answer 8

no way. the memories make it possible to do better now or later. without the memories, how would you know what works or doesn't except by trial and error and doing it all over again in another possibly 'bad' relationship.

Answer 9

No i wouldnt..as funny as it sounds i need those memories to go by..even if they are painful ones..I need them to learn from my mistakes and to build a lasting relationship the next time around..if i dont learn from the pain.. i will be making those same mistakes over and over again

Answer 10

No. I learned alot from being in the relationship. It made me see what I will put up with from a man. It made me grow and I am glad that the person came into my life at the time he did. I am greatful to him for what he taught me.

Answer 11

one particular relationship I would - I don't believe I've ever been able to get by the feeing of being disrespected so badly - I think its broken something in me, something that won't heal and be new again , Like having a hand or foot amputated.
