It’s one of the most difficult, life changing things we go through. Before I met my current wife I went through quite a few unfortunately. But as this article will go into that I’ve linked to below, it’s really a transition in your life. Yes, it hurts at the time and it’s not easy, but you will get through it.
I think of all the relationships I was in and they all contributed to who I am today. I cherish the good times I had.. good memories. And honestly I think little of the bad times.
You learn and take something from every experience.. relationships are no different.
If you are going through a breakup now or just want to be prepared.. or maybe it’s been a while and you want to make sense of it all, I recommend reading..

I just found this short post about the importance of NOT choosing a partner with issues:
I think what’s said here:
Personally, I think a lot of problems deal with unrealistic expectations. I often run into people who are dating people with personal issues and problems and feel that they can change their partners or that their partners will change over time. My suggestion is that people don’t marry a “project.” If your partner already has personal problems, there is a strong likelihood that the problems will get worse, not better.
I like how that’s put, “..don’t marry a project.” How many people go into a marriage and their partner has serious issues already! Somewhere in the back of your brain you think you can fix or correct something.. or that it will work itself out over time.
“Oh, he’ll change…” That’s probably been stated in many failed relationships at one time or another.
If you are dating someone that needs a lot of work on some things, think hard about that. At the very least don’t be in a rush to get married and have kids within the year.
Can you cope with what they are dealing with? How severe is it? How will it affect your future?
Always think about worst case scenarios.. what if they don’t change?
Life’s to short. Don’t get caught up in something that might drag you down in the end with it..
