I say no only because I have kids and wouldnt want to erase them. Otherwise I say yes I guess the pain of it all is too much for me. Even tho they say you learn and grow form the pain. It all sounds blah blah blah toe right now.

I don't have any kids but I understand what you mean about the quotes people say. "nothing in life was a mistake if you learned from it" lol

Even with all the hurt I wouldn't erase it! I feel like what I went through made me a stronger person and who I am today. I learned a lot about myself, how to be happy with just me and how not to settle in the next relationship.

I don't have children but I have three dogs that we got together and I wouldn't have ever found out about my job if it wasn't for him. Wouldn't trade my dogs or job for anything! Would go through all the pain again if it meant I would wind up exactly where I am today!

There is actually a movie about this.
It is called "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.

"I wish I could go back to the day before we met and skip my regret."

I Wish I Wasn't - Heather Headley

Oh yes...In a heartbeat

Completely erase....Thank you

I'm in!!!

Do you guys ever think how crazy our brain is? Think about it....this thing holds every memory and lets us feel every emotion. hearing a song on the radio can bring us back to an exact moment in time. yet our brain is really only synapses and a complicated structure of neurons that fire back and fourth to allow us to feel what we feel. If you had brain surgery and the slightest area was cut or damaged you could potentially be someone else. You may loose the ability to feel things or understand emotion. when you are filled up with so much emotion its really the brain sending a lot of signals right? there must be a way to control this if that's the case right? random thought!

Even though I learned a lot about myself after my break up that made me a better person, ultimately it wasn't worth it.

It's just to life affecting at times, and the pain wasn't worth it to me. It was basically a year of my life getting over it, and life is to short to waste feeling that way over someone who doesn't give a damn about you.

There is a book called "How to Fall Out of Love" by Dr. Debora Phillips. It talks about thought process and how to "forget" memories about love or the past in general. I went to a book store and read a couple chapters and found it interesting but not likely to work.

A book I did read was by Louis L. Hay called "You Can Heal Your Heart". It helped very much! It was centered around thinking differently about your lost love or break up. More towards dealing with loss of any kind.

Great post Pink!

I would be tempted but seeing as I spent 27 years with him, it would mean erasing an enormous chunk of my life. So I guess not.

Like Chatoyant as tempting as that sounds I would lose 24 years and there were a lot of great years there so I guess I'm just gonna have to stick to NC and time and staying busy etc etc lol

If I could go back and rewrite, I would not have chosen him. I spent too many years on eggshells, trying to placate and keep the peace.

my ex gf broke up with me five months ago only because we had different priorites. yes, it hurt. but,i chose only to remember the wonderful times we had. there is always a risk in dating. I would do it all over again knowing that the relationship would not last

Kids end the question

Memories of good times and love are all false, her infidelity teceaks that she is a phony, deceitful, role playing, calculating spider
