too harsh.

I may have understated something on dinner with ex, below. I am still sad for each relationship that didn't work out in my life. From each one, I took a lesson and tucked it under my belt and moved on. But for each little piece I got, I also lost a little bit. That's the part that still hurts. I would not trade any of those experiences to get a piece back. That's the real risk you take in a relationship -- are you each becoming a better person regardless of the outcome? If the answer is yes, then you're doing fine.
