Yeah, in some ways. My marriage kind of feels like 12 years wasted, but at the same time if it weren't for him I wouldn't have my 2 kids, and it all has made me a stronger person.

We learn by experience which are sometimes good and sometimes bad. I look back through my past life only to draw some lessons and promise myself not to repeat the same. No one can change the past, so I don't repent over what happened. It is painful to me if even by mistake I caused any harm to any body. We are not super-super-human beings that we have never commited any thing wrong to anybody. I repent that and i fail to forgive myself even today. Like I unfairly treated someone and hurt him/her. It's always more painful to me than him or her. I feel guilty whenever I see that person. As for your question , like everyone else, I too look back to reassess myself. Other people's behaviour is not in my hands. What's in your mind is romantic relationship, well, that's part of life.U should forget any bitter experience because that's part of any relationship. U don't always remain the same and same applies to others. We enter in a relationship because we like each other. We get out of it because we no longer like each other. But once u r married it is no longer a small issue. Also if u r not married but have children, it's no longer a small matter. It's here only I'd say, oh it shouldn't have happened. as here my entire life is affected. If my children's life is affected. damage is too big and wide spread.

No.
While some of them ended badly, they were all learning experiences and in a few cases, the end of the relationship was the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
I don't feel like I wasted any time. Of course, there were plenty of dates (no relationship) that I wish never happened.

No way. Everyone in my life has been in my life for a reason, we do not realise these things at the time but for every relationship we learn about the human condition so that when we find our long term partner we take into this relationship the learning from our past as lessons etc.

I believe we learn something from every relationship we have so no I think what I learned helped me in the next relationship. 8:) Some "baggage" can be positive for a couple. My first husband and I had only each other from the time I was 13 and he was 14. It ended in divorce. My second husband had been married 3 times before me and was much wiser from those experiences.

Actually the opposite. There are relationships that were worth pursuing but, due to lack of wisdom and immaturity I went with door number 2. Regrets BIG TIME!

Yes, but it's all about learning and growing as a person and knowing how to make the next relationship better.

No. If you don't take the time to waste your time at one point in your life, you'll waste it doing the same thing at another point in your life because you'll have missed the opportunity for a lesson-learned.

Yea & no. Yes because I could've been doing something better than sitting there, wondering if he is ever going to call me. No, beacuse now I have a better picture of what to look for in guys & what to avoid.

absolutely I have spent time with a lot of guys, that I haven't even really cared about. I know that sounds mean but its true I do consider them a waste of my time.
