2legit2qwt: I was cooking earlier and realized I used less grease now than I did some years ago and I thought to myself “this is definitely something I learned from someone"

Once I figured out it was something that I learned from an ex, I thought about other positive takeaways from past relationships which I believe has made me a better person today

I know the word "ex" carries negative connotations for a lot of people and rightly so if we’re to go by some experiences

With that said, you must have learned something good from your past relationships (except your ex is Ileke Idi tongue)

Some good things I learned from mine off the top of my head

1. I cook better and use less grease than I did in the past (healthier)

2 Being in a relationship doesn't necessarily mean it will lead to marriage. I think at the back of my mind nothing lasts "forever"

3. I now know how to deal with confrontational situations better

4. I don’t have to settle for less and I will not

5. Every time I win in an argument with my partner, my relationship loses

6. If it ain't worth it, I let it go before it gets serious
1-4 n many more. He really brought out da best in me! God bless u n ur family David Alao!

My ex taught me how not to love truly; that "I love you" are mere words and conjectures.
Re: Good Things Your Exes Taught You? by Kgdavid(m): 6:39pm On Jan 21, 2013
been in this wierd kinda relationship with a girl...we werent dating but we were close and i tried to make things work with her but... anyway i learnt a lot as well:

1. Never be hasty in letting yourself love someone until you are sure you have something worth fighting for... love never comes good without a proper fight

2. Never give in to the extremes of your emotions. if your emotions are running high either positively or negatively u r liable to say something you will regret.

3. never let other people get involved in your relationship

4. Never go out of your way to do anything you think is the right thing to do if that action is not coming from the real you. if you have to do something just because you have heard someone say that it should be done that way then you are walking a flaming tight rope. this can range from ignoring her because you think it will make her miss you to refusing to complain about something because it will lead to a fight.

5. no matter how much you think yu love a girl and she is the one for you, you can and will eventually get over her. and then u'll wonder what the fuss was all about and then u'll meet someone else that makes you feel the same way and then you realize that it is all vanity...a mere blowing of the wind.

6. falling in love reciprocally is an indescribable feeling. helps one make sense out of marriage to some extent

as for practical skills she didnt teach me anything

Re: Good Things Your Exes Taught You? by victorian(f): 8:52pm On Jan 21, 2013
One of my exes , taught me to learn on how to live a free life, cause one cannot please everybody.. People will view you, the way they wish to... And lastly trust no one. sad sad but true.. While another one practically gave me years of torments, it took the grace of God to heal my broken heart.. Thank God, am past all that..!!

I can totally relate with these. It's weird looking back at the initial feeling you had when you feel you can't live wihtout someone only to realize, you can do it and even be happpier. Maybe they're typical characteristics of humans

Do you mind telling what happened if you found such rarity with him?

My ex taught me too many things I can't even to mention. He showed me what true love is.

I still hate myself for losing him.

The lady that ends up with him would be the luckiest on earth. I would always envy her cos I would know she has the best there is.

There is. It's called the hedonistic treadmill (hedonic adaptation). We usually return to our genetic level of happiness after a period of 3 months after a tragic or depressing event. If you're naturally a happy person, it won't take you long to snap back to that happiness. If you're genetically depressed, even a million dollars lottery hit won't make you happy for long.

I'm generally a happy person. So if shoit hits the fan today, trust me by next week I'd be as happy as I was yesterday.

*This is backed by Psychological studies*

Damilola ...hmmmm one nasty dick-worshipper she is he he he she taught me :

The verious ways to satisfy a lady (sexually of course )

She taught me how to eventually eat Okro (used to hate it with passion)

She taught me that a WOMAN can never be satisfied! Even with my 9.3 inches cock this Dickliver twist is always begging for more ...

Naughty as she is, she is an Intelligent girl (dunno how) so I learnt a lot from her ....

That's quite interesting though, never heard of that term before. I guess it's a phase we all go through towards recovery

I would say rather unfortunate as he has become an Ex. Nufin much to share. The feeling was pure n natural. And I learnt religion, distance, age, colour, status is no barrier to love. Where ever you find it, it can blossom.

Another of my 'ex' advised me to stop hiding my feelings. That I should learn to open up.

jhydebaba: She taught me to wash my mouth once I get out of bed every morning.




I love kissing so much but she won't give it to me unless I brush my mouth in the morning

Eeya! My Lovely,Beautiful & Wonderful Susan gives it to me anytime,anyhow. Morning Sex which involves loads of Kisses (cos I too love Kissing;esp wit a good kisser) was a norm during the lifetime(1yr+) of the rltnshp.
I choose to comment on this ur post just to let you know that if a boy & a girl so mch love themselves,u guys wld brk laws. Iv also dated gals dt I dint love,& I wldnt dare kiss her witout brushing,it irritates, but with Susan;we went all the wayyyyyy....(Smiling). I bless her wherever she is & I hop she marries a Good guy who'l treat her as d Queen dat she is.

NB: Hahahahahahah!!! I know u guys wana knw wat ended d affair

She's Igbo,Christian,I'm Hausa,Muslim.

1. Able to detect when someone is trying to physically and mentally mold you into another being.

2. Sharpened my instinct. If my mind sees all the wrong signs, there's a reason why.

This one.
Re: Good Things Your Exes Taught You? by kandiikane(m): 4:24pm On Jan 22, 2013
1. Learn to love myself

2. Talk about how I feel

3. Use my head instead-get to know the person really well and wait a few weeks or something after starting a new relationship. grin

6. When in a relationship, it means one guy only. grin

5. Pet names, touchy feely are all helpful in a relationship.

5. If you want it, say it.
Re: Good Things Your Exes Taught You? by Maya2pretty(f): 7:31pm On Jan 22, 2013
