Things i've learned about myself and others through some of the men i've dated/married:
1. I learned from my ex husband that some of the time it's ok to be selfish....that we should take care of ourselves. Some people are better at taking, some better at giving. No relationship is 50-50 all of he time, some relationships are never 50-50.
2. I learned from Dan that when a person is scared, and running from their life, they might do things that they wouldn't ordinarily do. I also learned that a purely sexual relationship can be exciting, but I prefer to be in a relationship with someone who wants me for more than sex.
3.Rich taught me that no matter how much you love someone, it has no bearing on how they feel about you. Either a person loves you, or they don't.I learned that you should be yourself. He also taught me that your first impression of someone is usually true. So if you think a guy's a prick, he probably is one.
4.What I learned from Richard is that it's not going to work out so long as you haven't cleaned things up in your own life first. You can't move on in life until you've cleaned up the shit that's staring you square in the face.He also taught me that the person we look up to, and admire the most may also be looking up to/admiring you.
5.Bob taught me that some people want only what they can't have, and no matter how much a guy professes his love for you, actions speak louder than words. He also taught me that if a guy tells you he can't be trusted, believe him!
6.Doug taught me (or reinforced what I already knew)that hard work, doing what you have to do (whether you like it or not), being organized and taking care of business, will give you peace of mind.
