Hi all,

I thought I'd throw a stone in our pond to discuss what we feel has improved since our last "accident".

In other words, what do you think is better now about you than when you were with your ex, or in general?

For me, breaking up with my ex has been the best thing that ever happened. I am happier now with myself than ever, and all because I finally made the decision to change what I didn't like and not care about other people's opinion on the matter.

Of course, being happier and more self confident has brought improvement to most other areas of my life, as well.

For me, this forum should, yes, be a place where you can just let it all out, all the bad stuff you had to deal with and bear witness to, but also a place where you can stop and say, yeah, sure, it was tough but here's what I learned and made a part of me. In other words, a "positive", you-can-do-it thread.

Please, do post here what you've learned, so that we can all benefit from it.

Well, I'm the kind of person who is never truly happy when I'm alone... I crave a relationship, someone to care for. So being out of one is rather tough. However, since the ordeal with my ex, I've learned not to let things upset me as much as they should. It still bothers me when people I care about make bad decisions and when things don't go my way... but when it comes to simple circumstance, such as bad traffic or my favorite team loses, I've learned to take it in stride. Not to say I don't care about those things of course, but it's very nice not worrying about things that I have no control over.

I am just glad I got back to excercising. I now run every morning and lift weights in the evening. HAve a lot more energy and confidence though I am doing it mostly to get neagtive thoughts out of my head.

But mostly, I am glad that the break-up forced me to change and try new things, get new job, and meet new people. Shook me violently out of my complacency.
