What lessons did Mr or Ms Wrong teach you?
MANY of us will spend a lifetime searching for Mr or Ms Right, and not take seriously the lessons we learnt from the Wrongs. However, those bad relationships’ main purpose is to serve as examples of mistakes we should not repeat.
Below readers tell All Woman the lessons Mr and Ms Wrong taught them, which helped in their search for Mr/Ms Right.
Ricardo:
She definitely taught me to be careful who you have your children with. My first child is with her, and while I adore my daughter, I can’t help but think that her mother is the Devil’s spawn. My current wife, with whom I have a son, plays the role of mother to my daughter, simply because of how puerile and vindictive my daughter’s mother is.
Emily:
I learnt that you can’t force people to be committed to you and the relationship. They just have to want to be. Also, you can’t force love and attention; it has to come naturally.
Delmar:
She taught me that if a woman is really interested she will show it and be fully committed to you. You won’t have to question it or wonder where she stands.
Rachel:
Men are territorial, and in marking their territories they make sure their woman is comfortable. So don’t empathise with a man who won’t meet you halfway, because when he starts cheating he meets the standard and demands of the side chick. If he can’t bring his 50 per cent to the table, then kick him to the kerb.
