thanks so much 4 sharing this; it honestly meant a lot to me to read this. i beat myself up a ton over my mistakes in my relationship, so your positive words and story really made a difference in my day. my ex was a really nice, supportive and patient guy until we broke up though, whereas i was immature and temperamental sometimes. and vain and overly obsessed with my appearance and a bit full of myself to be honest. i'm not proud of some of the ways i acted during our relationship and i really want to be better... although admittedly, i'm often told i blame myself for everything even when I shouldn't, and i do my best to be a good person but i really mess up sometimes (ie. being snappy, clingy & sometimes rude to my fiance).
