  I would never do to someone what I don't want done to me. I always use this motto in friendships, relationships, associates etc. It gets difficult sometimes to deal with those awkward moments ending a relationship or a friendship but I firmly believe that everything is possible. I have no qualms maintaining a freindship after a relationship. I understand that it is difficult and it probably takes more work after the end then anything else. The one thing that is hard for me is to deal with is the after effects of a relationship when they move on.
I have no problems with people moving on; just don't do it, flaunt, or do it in front of me. This is why when my realtionships end, I never start anything with the remote possiblity of previous said relationship coming in contact with the newness. I tend to say it's a " respect " issue. It is more of the asshole in me to be honest. Some people are better then me ten-fold when it comes to this. I am not. I can not see the person I was with bringing someone into my little world. A piece of me feels it is selfish but that is my issue that I have to deal with.
If I am with someone for several years and we break up- respect me in having your next relationship a distance from me. Just like everything takes time to heal. I need my time for even that much. That is definitely a fault and I should start working on that. As it goes for now; I have no time for that . Fish
