Hello everyone

I just came home from a great meeting in AA

One person shared her heartbroken first marrage and how it took her a very long time to get past the resentments toward her ex.

She told us what helped her, her sponsor asked her what she learned from this relationship?

Her reply... .a child and that's it.

Later in recovery she found her answer

She now knows what she doesn't want

She may not yet know what she does want.

As for me?

I want someone I can trust

Love

Believe

Listen

Care

Reciprocate

Understand

Respect... .

I hope this helps someone

One day at a time, we will get through this.

Looking at your posts with what you want and don't want are characteristics of unhealthy and healthy relationships. Boundaries helps with building healthy relationships. Boundaries is self compassion, boundaries is an invisible outwards layer that protects our core values. This is a good article to determine the health of your relationship.

Absolutely. I know exactly what I do not want and cannot accept.

Right now, I want peace and quiet, my family and friends and to just focus on me. Finding the lost part of me, rebuilding the broken part of me and creating the me that I want and was meant to be.

At some point, I'd like a relationship but now is not the time.

I find being alone quite soothing. I forgot about all of the things I like doing out of simple enjoyment.

I also know I have some work to do.
