		<description>In sitations where #2 has occurred...hands down, there is no question..it&#039;s a wrap.  The root of it all is fear, though.  Fear of the unknown but also the known (losing, in some cases, the strongest bond you&#039;ve ever had).  Personally, I&#039;m not a big risk taker but I totally agree with you; it&#039;s not until you take that big risk do you reap the (unknown) rewards.  But I think there is more to it like...What is your definition of love? How much of your def is your significant other living up to?  Quite frankly, you&#039;re not ever gonna ever get 100% - but I thought that was the journey of love? ehh.  At the end of the day you have to figure it out for yourself, in your own time.  I agree with all the points you laid out but you can&#039;t front...love has a lot of grey area, lol. Great posting! &lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;308&#039;,&#039;Sheri&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;308&#039;,&#039;Sheri&#039;,&#039;In sitations where #2 has occurred...hands down, there is no question..it&#039;s a wrap.

		<description>Well said and coming from a dude makes it all the more powerful. I agree,  (#1) forget the broken record scene. Going around in circles doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of INSANITY. Got to know who you are and what you want and you&#039;ll do you and your boo a great service. One person in a relationship not knowing what they want is hell - add 2 to the mix...well u see where that is going. Thats right...an endless cycle of on again/off again. And what a nightmare to the close friends and family that have to listen to this repetative garbage. 
 
that relationship poster is classic...lol &lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;307&#039;,&#039;Celia&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;307&#039;,&#039;Celia&#039;,&#039;Well said and coming from a dude makes it all the more powerful.

		<description>Dude...  
 
Quick notes on each of the items: 
 
#1 - I never do the off/on again. I&#039;m a DJ, and I HATE broken records. I also NEVER play the same record twice in one night. Take that as a microcosm of life... there are some things that should just never be revisited. Relationships included, IMO. Period. 
 
#2 - You only LOOK BACK to understand what you must do to improve your experience AHEAD. History is important, and yes, you may still full love the person, but you broke up for a reason. More than likely, the situation/reason for the breakup will STILL exist. And if it doesn&#039;t, time changes. You know how a wound heals, but the skin doesn&#039;t always look the same even when the mark is almost completely gone? Its still there... you&#039;re marked for life. And so is that former relationship. 
 
#3 - When it comes to DMGs, I&#039;m ruthless. You cheat on me? Peace... when you see me, don&#039;t even part your damn mouth. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR DMGs. Mistakes that do happen that are forgivable are not full DMGs, they are just &quot;DMs&quot; - defining moments. A test, if you will. Straight up, stepping out on your committed partner = DMG. There&#039;s no return from that. That means something was missing in your eyes/mind/heart that made you get it elsewhere. If you really feel that way, just break up and remain friends. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too... too many calories leads to health issues... LOL. And don&#039;t get me started on the alleged &quot;CB&quot; thing. Striking a woman is some BULL. There is NO. FORGIVING. THAT. Unless she comes at you with a knife, gun, etc and there was no other way to defend yourself, its jut not gentlemanly. Period. That is some B*TCH SH*T. werd. 
 
#4 - Can love keep the person in your life? Yes. Does that mean you gotta put yourself back through the wringer of pain? No, unless you&#039;re clinically STUPID. I been there... but I couldn&#039;t do it.  
 
Straight up... being completely candid and talking way too much about myself, I was walking with my ex by the waterfront on the Westside Highway, we were talking. and she came out and said do you still love me? Yeah, I did. She said &quot;then hold me&quot;. And with all the pain in anger in my damn voice, I had to tell her like yo... you not mine to hold no more. Go back to dude you cheated on me with. I. Can&#039;t Ignore. The Bullsh*t you pulled. And for that I will never fully trust you, so I can&#039;t even play the smallest of roles of even being like we&#039;re kinda together.  
 
I made the good move... she ended up marrying dude she cheated on me with. LMAO.  
 
And every ex, no matter how cool we stayed or became after the fact, has ever been given a round 2. Its one and done with the kid. Fool me once... eff you. Pack your sh*t and be out till I tell you can come around me again. LOL.

When I speak of history, I speak of the excuse that people use when a relationship is no longer functioning. I dont speak of those relationships that work. Im talking the on again off again, people cheated on each other, you want to leave but ur scared because you dont think you can do better kind of relationships. If you are getting treated like sh*t in a relationship, yet you have been witht hat person for years, you&#039;re suppose to stay in it because of history? To me that&#039;s a lack of common sense and self esteem. 
 
The grass definitely isn&#039;t greener than any side, but sometimes, when the writings on the wall you have to READ it instead of ignoring it. OF COURSE relaionships are to build for better or worse, taking a persons shortcomings and loving them DESPITE that. This has a lot to do with knowledge of SELF! If you KNOW yourself and KNOW that you can&#039;t look past a persons flaws or truly accept them, you do the other person a disservice by remaining in that relationship! If things get to the point of no return,  or compromise isnt being established, are u suppose to stay because of history? Are you suppose to say &quot;eff it I love he/she, so Ima ride it out.....some more? 
 
This is in those situations where people try to compromise, have excessive back and forth, and you KNOW its time to leave. Shout out to the people who maintain good relationships, but if you arent satisfied in your relationship,m you go thru the motions, you make excuses for unacceptable behaviour, or you fear the unknown, then SETTLING with SET you up for more moments of anguish! 
 
No one is perfect, but no one deserves to compromise their happiness for history. &lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;305&#039;,&#039;Streetz&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;305&#039;,&#039;Streetz&#039;,&#039;@real talk - I hear your point, however I 100% no-sign. \n \nWhen I speak of history, I speak of the excuse that people use when a relationship is no longer functioning.

		<description>I agree with almost everything except number 2. History IS important. Not just because of comfort but because if you spent time to build something with somebody you ought to think about what you&#039;re throwing away. Love is not about &quot;reaching higher planes&quot; and finding the perfect  human being, such a person does not exist. If you find someone that you love and are committed to then why would you even think you might be &quot;settling&quot; You&#039;d have to be so ungrateful to not cherish the love that you already have at the time. I hate that word---&gt; settling. Using it makes it seem like you&#039;re a typical animal who is only after the alpha mate. We&#039;re human beings we have the ability to reason on a higher level than that. (At least some of us do) I acknowledge fully that people I date aren&#039;t always the best at one thing or another, but they are unique individuals that I have allowed into my life and COMMITTED TO. You might as well throw out loyalty if you&#039;re going to use the word &quot;settling&quot; know why? Because there WILL ALWAYS be another dude with a bigger dick, more money, a nicer car, nice this or that or what ever floats your fantasy boat. All this means is that if you were in a relationship with someone for 5 yrs you&#039;d be easily swayed if Tom Cruise or someone else with some pull came by in a Bentley and wanted to take you away. All it further emphasizes is how fickle people are. And if you&#039;re idea of love comes down to &quot;finding the alpha male and not settling&quot; then you get what you&#039;re looking for. You&#039;ll never be happy and last with someone. Eventually when that mans luster fades you&#039;ll find yourself looking for another top dog. Love is about accepting each others flaws and learning to grow with one another and build with one another, and experience life together through thick AND thin. Its not about finding an accessorie and trading it in when you find a better one. I think its a bit twisted how people can treat each other like they treat materials. Out with the old and in with the new eh? Well if you&#039;re a human being and you know a bit about loyalty and comittment, and you hope to be in a long lasting successful relationship, you will have to make adjustments, you won&#039;t just move because you think you&#039;re settling. Men that think women need to be perfect 10&#039;s in order to be a good wife don&#039;t deserve a good wife. Just like women who only will stay by a man when he&#039;s up don&#039;t deserve a good man. What good is a woman who will leave you when you are weak? What good is a man who will desert you when you lose your beauty? Seriously. You might as well not start a relationship at all. Because when you get old a gray, women you WILL lose your looks. And men you WILL lose your strength. If a rela is what you care about then you have to look past the exterior and focus on the fact that you committed to this person and you will support them and reciprocate with them. If the rela is abusive, thats different. But if you&#039;re comfortable in a relationship I think you&#039;d be FOOLISH to drop that only to go look for some flair and pizazz. Be greatful for what you have if you have something comfortable and good. &lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;304&#039;,&#039;Real Talk&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;304&#039;,&#039;Real Talk&#039;,&#039;I agree with almost everything except number 2.
