Girls, do you think any of your previous relationships were a net positive experience?

I understand there are good and bad components of any relationship, but do you think any of your past relationships did more good for you, than bad?

Interesting question.


1. My first love was more good… possibly bc we never got physical together.


2. My marriage resulted in my two lovely kids but the marriage itself was miserable.


3. My ex boyfriend was certainly more good than bad


4. My one recent attempt was based on a pile of lies so it’s disqualified. The person’s character reminded me of guy #2 above.

After seeing your response, I can also see that my question is misguided. The vast majority of experienced women will have both net positive and net negative experiences in relationships. I should have gone with a "more than half v less than half" type of question.

No, it’s a good question… just relationships are complicated bc some parts are good even in th middle of even the worst relationships….

The first relationship taught me that your romance is based on the way you chose to speak and respond and that it takes strategy to cultivate a happy connection with somebody. It was a failed relationship but I do not regret it. Many learning experiences came out of it and I have someone I will always respect as a brother.

Diving into the world of past romances, I'm curious about your tales of love and lessons learned. It's fascinating, isn't it, how even the relationships that don't end with a happily ever after can leave us richer in experience and wisdom? I say, every love story, whether it ends with a heartbreak or not, has its silver lining. Whether it taught you more about what you're looking for in a partner, gave you unforgettable memories, or even made you a stronger, more independent individual. Love, in its many forms, shapes us. So, what's your story? Did you find hidden treasures in the ruins of past loves? Let's start a flirt with the past and see what positive spins we can find together! 😏💖

Unfortunately I haven't had an ex relationship that went fully good. The only one that ended without any toxic or abusive situations only lasted a couple months and he accidentally text me a message he was meant to send a friend that basically said if he didn't feel anything with me that day he was going to break up with me. I was really devastated. I wish he would have just been honest with me in person that day.

My last relationship was my first and only so far. It was a mutual breakup because he went off to college and I finished high school a year later.

I consider it a net positive thing, as you put it.
