[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 655201, member: 18958"] Hi Californiablonde. From my experience relationships are not with better or worse people. And there are no better or worse people, either. You are unique, as am I, as is everybody. I second what says Lil. My life as well as those close to me is littered with ex friends--either instigated by them or me. Family members dump each other. Many, maybe most people, are not that good to each other. As I hear you, your experience is not different from most of ours, either romantic or friendship. As others have said, the harder thing is understanding what you really need and seek in a relationship. And not settling for less. This is not so easy. Some of us do not know what we really need, except through trial and error. I am somebody who did not find who I needed and wanted until quite late in life. I was alone for a very long time. But it was worth it. From somebody who doesn't know you, you are taking waaay too much responsibility onto your own shoulders....Certainly each of us needs to look at ourselves, and take an inventory. But I am more inclined to agree with Lil: [/QUOTE]
