How many times does your heart have to trampled on with stilleto shoes and then dumped into the garbage before you learn your lesson in the game of love? (I'm not bitter honest :-p)

If you are smart, than just once. But, love is a game of chance. You can't tell the outcome with the cards you see on the 1st deal!

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." But it's taken me a few times - three or four? Now I'm wiser about it. Jaded, but wise.

It doesn't have to be trampled at all...we can take charge. we can learn not to let it happen, by being more selective in our partners, by respecting ourselves and demanding respect. The trouble is we learn bad patterns from our family repationships...that's inevitable. but it's not inevitable that we continue those patterns. There comes a time when we have to stand firm and say: no more...get some counselling and put up our boundaries....that being said, we usually get trampled at least once before we begin to think.

Some people are more gluttons for punishment than others. Also some people have a problem and continue to form the same kinds of relationships, like co-dependent, abusive, etc. So they will always fail and then complain, when they actually need professional help to work out why they have that pattern. Others just to learn I suppose, we have to get really burned a few times before we learn what is much too hot for us and what is not.

It doesn't matter how old ,where you live - We keep learning that lesson over and over - None are free from learning that one - I thought I was really to grown up for that myself -- No way Good Question steel

Exactly 12. I know because that's how many times it's happened to me and I'm now done trying so it won't happen again.

Many times, then you start thinking rationally instead of irrationally. Love is blind – I care to see now.

More times then we should. We're all blind in the beginning and it's not until the new wears off that we see exactly what we've done to ourselves.
