 How many failed relationships have you had? Do these failures keep you from opening up to someone new?

Not really because if you do that it's not fair to the other person....because not all of them are the same....gotta give chances....

A few serious ones and nope, I'm not stopping. Maybe a bit more cautious and might do a few things differently, but not giving up.

But, No.. they do not hold me back from my next ones.. if anything they help me be wiser.. and I learn from every one of them... |

2 failed marriages have made me VERY LEARY - not so much about dating again, but about the mere thought of falling in love again----I don't want to get hurt again...

4 of what I would call serious relationships, I feel it has caused me to take more time before getting serious. That's good and bad in a way.

From all of my relationships, I have learned something from them. About me and about how to treat someone and what I deserve in a relationship, so I don't really see them as failures.
I have seen them as opportunities to share time and space with someone who cared about me and I cared about them. Has it kept me from opening up? not necessarily, I have learned to be more patient and more aware

I'm with Claudette. I've learned something from all my relationships. Some of those were painful, some were not. I wouldn't necessarily consider a relationship a failure just because it didn't last. I've made some great friends from people I've dated where we don't have the long-term compatibility we'd have needed to continue our romantic relationship, and I've learned an awful lot about myself and how I relate to other people from those experiences. That's an awful lot of what makes an experience successful, no?
I don't feel it really makes it harder for me to open up. Somewhat more cautious, sure, and picky in ways that I consider healthier. But once I find someone who is what I'm looking for, I can open up without to much problem. |

None of them have failed. I'm friendly with all but one of my past romantic relationships - and even that one is cordial.
I keep learning about myself and hopefully give to others in the process. I'm so confused by the common use of the term "failed relationship". If you are both still alive and have learned something, isn't that successful?
