I can't answer your question.....I've only had one partner and we've been together ever since I was 17.....I would be devastated if we ever parted or cheated on each other....There has never been and bad times to remember apart from someone working far to long...:(
I just don't know if "forever" exists. Except in our minds. Especially when we are young. Only God is forever. We bring our own expectations into relationships with us that come from many places. And when they are not met the easiest thing to do is blame the other person.
Thank you for a very good question. Definitely the good. So wonderful that we can get together with another person and share lives which just in doing so greatly enhances our own life. Funny but as the years pass former relationships become more about what we did together than about a particular person. If I try I can remember what I liked about them but that was me THEN so seems very much at a distance.
Some previous relationships bring up more positive memories than do others, it's difficult to generalize by saying one way of recalling them fits across the board. Each and every situation is different.
Depends on the relationship. With most, I recall the good or am indifferent. There's one where I only remember the bad and often struggle to remember if there ever was any good. I know there must have been, but those memories faded.
