from your last relationship? I try to look at things and see what I get out of them. Being with my ex for 17 years give or take, I see now that living with a person who is selfish with their time made me very sad. If it were to happen again, I am better equipped. What say you?

I learned that it's a good idea to take a picture of your girlfriend when you're fighting with her. Then you can look at the pictures if you ever think getting back together with her is a good idea later.

Never play grab-asss in the kitchen with anyone holding a sharp knife or a hot pot ...

I learned not to turn my back on an angry alcoholic as they tend to hit. Will have neck pain the rest of my life but lesson learned.

Don't fall in love with over the edge manics..they always end up dead.

To me you learn something different from each one of them. It is when you can learn from them and learn to move on that you know you can put it in the past.

Never touch their cellphones, or laptops. PERIOD.

You'll most likely find something you don't want to see.

Learn from the past, live in the present, and look forword for the future!!

I have learned one thing from my past two relationships. Now, I say one thing because this "one thing" took me that long to discover. I learned that the main thing I desire from a woman is for her to be more "in tune" with me. What I mean is that while she and I will have things we do on our own, I also want someone to share alot of things with. In the past two relationships, one liked sports whereas the other didn't. I love sports. I love to play hoops from time to time, go to the gun range, and want to learn golf (I can't believe I said that) and do more kayaking and hiking. One girl was more outgoing than the other. I am outgoing but I also like to chill and I do love to watch movies. I also love my quiet time, which one was happy to give me while the other really didn't want to. These are examples, but my point is that I know what I truly want now. Now comes the hard part.....finding that girl. Maybe I can just create one.

I am really dense, I think. I had to learn the same lesson TWICE. Be cautious marrying an only child. Spoiled, self centered, and a 100% Me first attitude shortly after the knot is tied. Not to say all are that way, I am just so dumb those are the ones I pick

I learned that some people, more so the selfish entitled ones who have never had to work for anything in life, will never grow up. I want to be someone's girlfriend, not their mommy.

Be attentive, listen, ask them to share whats going on inside their head, remember the little things, don't slack off on the gestures of affection and appreciation. Pick up after yourself. Don't fart after sex where they can hear it.

1. I learned that it's better to be alone than to be with the wrong person.

2. There is no right person.
