What Women Taught Me By Dumping Me

By Dan S.C. Reynolds

I have to admit, I've been dumped by women several times. More times than I'd like to admit. And while it hurt every time, I have to say that I have learned a lot from those experiences. So here are those things I've learned.

1. There are two in every relationship

Often with the pain and heartbreak of a break up, it is easy to blame someone else but nto yourself. However the truth is that if the relationship wasn't working, you were part of the problem too. Take a look at what went wrong so that you can use the lessons for your next relationship.

2. Give her some space

Women like to cuddle and snuggle and they may seem to be always around, but they need their personal space as well. We men have a tendency to be possessive, we want to keep our women close and know where they're going and what they're doing. If any woman has ever cheated on you, this instinct becomes even stronger. However trust is a key in any relationship. When you invade her personal space, you give her a reason to think that you don't trust her. Your girlfriend can live up to your fears and this can easily lead to the end of your relationship.

3. It makes you stronger

When you wake up in the morning and you feel like crap, you may think that you will never get over the break up. Not only does time heal the pain, but it makes you a stronger person. Frederick Nietzsche said, "that which doesn't kill me only makes me stronger." That applies here too.

4. It wasn't meant to be

Coming to accept that a relationship wasn't meant to be is a key factor in healing. If you had started projecting your relationship into the future " considering marriage, thinking about children " and then the woman you were with broke everything off, consider it a blessing. It is better to end a relationship that wasn't meant to be earlier rather than later.

5. Good things don't happen unless you make them happen

Finally, the last lesson I want to share with you is that you can't control what has already happened, but you can control how you react to what has happened. If you want good things to happen in the future, you have to make them happen. It means you have to continue with your life. Go out and meet new women and have some fun. Eventually, you will find another relationship and if you have followed the advice in this article about things I've learned from women who've dumped me, the new relationship may be better and stronger than the previous. - 15437
