So many women beat themselves up when a relationship/marriage ends. I am a strong believer that it takes two to make a relationship and two to break it. Our responsibilty is to realize what contribution we made to the the breakdown...that being said we can't change our partner. If a relationship is going to last each person has to acknowledge fault, neglect, whatever and also be willing to commit themselves to restoration. Otherwise we need to learn our personal life lessons and keep it moving. :-) Shahmet: Thank you for your comments. So many women beat themselves up when a relationship/marriage ends.

I used to think that I was working daily at strengthening my relationship; but that was before my divorce. Now, I am truly understanding that it really takes 2 people who are committed to the traits you mention. Of course, I believe the words of Kahlil Gibran to be among the most inspired in the world. I am working toward living my life by sharing together but still recognizing that we are separate and that is how we need to be in order to continue growing into the people we were created to be.
