Is there a pattern that continues to follow you?

As stated by the first guy, hard to tell when you are serious.

So i will seriously answer this question the best way I understood it to be. Yes. I am defined by the past; my upbringing, my past relationships. Even though I am married to a wonderful man I still feel that I have to do things that I really probably (lol) shouldn't. He is very patient but he shakes his head at me and tells me that I really need to let it all go. And he is right. We have been married 11 yrs going on 12 and sometimes I digress. Thank God he has a great sense of humor. As for my other relationships, unless the person is related to me in some way, I take them with a grain of salt. I love my friends but if they get annoyed with me and decide that enough is enough, well then they are right. There's the door. I know that is awful but my REAL friends wouldn't venture toward the door anyway. Trying to break out of the pattern, Fort Worth, TX US.

I'm not like either parent or anyone I have dated in the past. the woman I married is not the kind of woman I expected to be with although she is the right one. My relationship functions well because there is communication, something hard to find these days. There is also vision. Many people are content just to be and not to broaden there horizons and live a fulfilling life. No, there are no patterns.

Yes, we are defined, characterized by our past relationships and upbringing. 80% of all failed marriages are the result of this. If you have come from a broken home (Divorced) it is most likely that your marriage will fail. That is why we must not be defined and characterized by our past. We must not only leave the old baggage behind but burn it. We have to redefine ourselves in unconditional love and forgiveness and walk more in the way of perfection that only comes from above..

NO. The problem with people is that they live in the past and not in the present. I was defined, and brought up, and have definately had my share of past relationships - the good was the good - the bad the bad. You live, you learn, you deal, and you let go.

I do believe our up bringing stays with us all of our lives,we sometimes get away from it when we start out on our own trying to make our own mark in life,but the older we get the two start to blend together,and I don't care what anyone says past relationships will always effect you the rest of your life,you just can't let it cost you a person inyour love life,let them make their own mistakes(if they're going to make any)don't make them pay for someone elses.Just remember you'll make mistakes to,andyou'll want the benefit of the doubt.

You know, sometimes we can't tell when you're serious and when you're not.
