Dear Brav3:

I think that you misunderstood me in part and would like to clarify: I did not write or mean that you brought it upon yourself. She has 50% responsibility for the nature and ending of the relationship.

It is also possible for a well experienced person, a very wise person in understanding people, to be fooled and manipulated in a relationship. In a case like that, when the manipulator is very effective in her manipulation, she would have more than 50% responsibility for your broken heart.

I suggested learning about people so to lower your statistical chances for future heartbreaks, not to eliminate such, as that would be impossible.

Please let me know in your next post if I made myself clear here and what you think about my clarification.
