I think if you try really hard, then it isn't a failure, it's just that your personalities or lifestyles didn't mesh. I've also learned something from every friend or relationship I've been in.</i>Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484284471046027179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-87637973257901402882009-11-10T11:16:12.811-06:002009-11-10T11:16:12.811-06:00I feel the same way about relationships-- if you w...I feel the same way about relationships-- if you walk away learning something, including about yourself, it's not a loss. I feel like there are a certain amount of relationships that you can chalk up to learning. <br /><br />One of my classmates is with the only guy she's ever been with. Not coincidentally, she's a monumental bore. Not that it keeps her from talking incessantly.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-86685201043800361902009-11-09T21:41:42.835-06:002009-11-09T21:41:42.835-06:00Rel,

It usually takes me a few months to get to that place, but I'm much happier when I'm finally there.<br /><br />Tara,<br /><br />Ha ha. Now I'm thinking I should change it to "Shut-Up and Let Me Go" by the Ting Tings.<br /><br />Susan,<br /><br />It is. Isn't it? I won't hear from anyone in months and then bam, bam, bam... There they all are.<br /><br />Booda Baby,<br /><br />Yeah. This seems like as good a time as any to shed some dead skin...Now if I could only shed my dead apartment, I'd be all set.<br /><br />And no comment on the Northwestern game. Ahem.<br /><br />Ananda,<br /><br />Like I said above, it usually takes a little time to get to that place. I definitely didn't feel like that when we first broke up, but now I'm all for working on a friendship.<br /><br />Pamela,<br /><br />I know. It seems like I was just writing about that. But it will be two years in December that we first started dating.<br /><br />LauraB.,<br /><br />It sure would have been nice to have the sublet settled...(and nice alliteration, by the way)<br /><br />This,<br /><br />Thanks for the good luck. It looks like I'm REALLY going to need it now.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-65899272914687508042009-11-09T19:13:44.634-06:002009-11-09T19:13:44.634-06:00well said. and good luck renting!

It takes a mature person to get past that and go on with the friendship portion... which may have been the real reason you were drawn together in the first place.

It never stops being exciting to watch/read. <br /><br />PS. It was always hard - still is - when Iowa played NU. I wanted both teams to win. But mostly NU.

I am glad you didn't run into Mr. B. <br /><br />Wow, packing and sorting and all that is what I dread in life.
