Learning from relationships

I would like to think that I learned from 2 bad relationships in my past. I know I finally realized you have to let go when someone does not love you anymore. I think a good sign is when they marry someone else. You should never marry a person that you don't love either. It is very important to learn from a past relationship so that you don't keep making the same mistakes. I learned that true love comes from within a person. Having outer beauty means nothing if your ugly on the inside. I have learned a lot of lessons when it comes to relationships. A very important one I learned was that a person does not stay with you for a child. It is not fair to a child to bring them into that kind of situation either. You have to learn give and take in a relationship. There has to be respect for each other as well. Communication is very important you have to be able to talk to each other about anything and work issues out together. You have to be able to pick up and move forward when it is over. Learning requires a lot of strength and determination on a person's part. You must be able to see the big picture. It is very hard to let go of your love for someone even when you know that they don't love you. Your willing to do anything to keep that person with you but you have to realize they no longer love you and you must let go of your love and move on with your life. I am saying this from experience it took me 15 years to let go of my first love and I had 4 children by this person and he never loved or cared for me. I can look back now and realize how much of my life I wasted on this person. He married twice before I let go of my love for him. But once I let go I was able to move forward and find true love. I can now say that I know what true love really means. I have learned what trust is in a relationship. I also believe that I have learned that I am somebody important and that someone can love me for the person that I am.
