Sam, I often think about the question when I meet that special someone "So what happened"? I imagine I'll dodge the question the first couple of times. I'm definetly not the type to run her down or blame the whole thing on her. On the other hand do I really want to tell that potential special someone about the wrong things I did. Knowing how brutally honest I am, I think I would, just not all the details. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Someone who blames all the problems on the other either hasn't looked at their role or isn't really sharing. I'd like to think that everyone takes away something good from a failed relationship (trying to be an opptimist here!).
I prefer a person who has the capacity to love, when its difficult to love. Doesnt really matter to me whether they have been married once before or not.
