Where did we go wrong?
SOMETIMES when we end a relationship that’s when it dawns on us what part we played in its demise. But by then it’s too late; the ship as already sailed, and we sit thinking about what we could have done differently.
What would you have done differently in your last relationship to make it work?
Penny, 29:
I wouldn’t have done a thing different; the relationship had run its course and died, so in the end when I was told all the things I was doing wrong it didn’t matter to me because I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t trying to make it work.
Clive, 34:
I could have given her the attention she needed and asked for, instead of brushing her off and making promises I knew I was never going to fulfil.
Trudi, 27:
I honestly think I could have been more patient and understanding towards him and what he was going through. He had lost his job and to me he wasn’t putting in the effort to get one. He kept telling me that someone was working on something for him and it was a sure thing, but after nearly a year of paying all the bills and buying food, and doing everything on my own, I kicked him out and a few months later he got the job he was talking about. He is now working overseas.
Robert, 38:
My ex was younger than I was and I felt insecure and always felt that she was going to leave me for someone her age. My insecurity led to jealousy and I didn’t know how to control it and she left me. I wish I wasn’t so insecure.
Latty, 32:
I could have been more loving and willing to break down my emotional walls and let him in my heart. I loved him but didn’t know how to show it.
