usually the one that doesnt want to be friends anymore wont recognize his/her part in the failure.. in jg wifes thread about being friends with your ex the above comment was made.
in failed relationships it's usually both parties that share the blame.. in the past three years since my divorce i have come to except my part in the break-up of our marriage.
i have identified areas that i need to work on to be in a healthy relationship.
I am responsible for the break up of my 1st marriage. I took the steps to do it. I told him I wanted a divorce. He is not a bad person, and yes at some point we were in love. The 1st 5 years, there was a huge physical attraction. Yet, at some point in our marriage, I became bored of him. It was difficult because I felt guilty for my feelings changing for him. We had two children together. I never set out to have an affair, but I knew that he was not the person I wanted to be spend my life with. After the divorce, I really had no intent to marry anyone else due the fact of "what if my feeling change again"?

Extrememly honest and appreciated!
I'm doing well...hope things are good with you.
We need to get together soon!
i've been reading a few pages of threads from saturday until today and i can't understand why some,(actually very few) try to damage this site.
this is one of a handful of (ex)jw sites that really helps people get out of the organization.
the interaction that we have here shows anyone how we can leave the so- called "truth" and enjoy life!
Why Can't People Just Show Appreciation For This Place???
My mother use to say the same thing about the Organization.
When people feel there are problems they should be able to voice their opinions without threat of termination.
Otherwise what have we really learned since leaving the JW's??

But people change (especially after 100 of hours of counseling and therapy), and I like to think I have changed for the better, at least on some levels
I'm glad you're learning and becoming better for it.
It's interesting to read the differences in perspective between men and women. At one time you both were happy and in love. Something happened for one or both of you to fall out of love. In my few years of reading on this site. I don't think I have ever heard a woman actually take some responsibility for their own break-up?
Do women EVER contribute to a failed relationship?
i just got back from an expo show and wanted to tell everyone about a product i bought i think is really cool.
i don't have a vested interest in it, i just want to share it with others.
it's a smoke free electronic "cigarette" it's a vapor that doesn't smell and gives you a nicotene fix.
Too bad they dont make one you could put certain herbal products in.
Now we're talking.

I can't say that I agree with that statement
How long ago was the break-up?
At first I didn't think I did anything wrong either. But as time passes you realize there were things you could have done different.
If it is recent I could see why you might think that way.

We both put more emphasis on our own personal "rights" than we did on the marriage.
Good point!
Marriage and relationships are about compromise. When one puts their own "rights" over the union then it only opens the door for trouble.

i apply this philosophy to all aspects of my life
Thats why you're free2think.
I should point out it doesn't happen overnight! LOL
isn't the whole crux of the wtbts organization and its purpose a competition to see who is willing to suffer the most?
here's a conglomeration of experiences i have read about in the mags or heard of at conventions: .
sister masochistic: she has lived in an iron lung since childhood, a victim of polio.
I was told by her and others that it was Satan trying to keep me away and I was letting him win....
Looks like they were right. LOL

In the past three years since my divorce I have come to except my part in the break-up of our marriage. I have identified areas that I need to work on to be in a healthy relationship. I have actually grown and become a better person, father, and one day maybe husband.
I'm not "friends" with my ex, but I feel we have a good relationship for my son's sake. I hope that she can do the same in recognizing her part in where things went wrong and become better from it.
There is no growth in blaming.
