I dunno. I personally like to look back on the good things that happened in my relationships. But I think that perhaps, when the relationship has first ended, it's just too painful for a woman scorned to think of all that's been lost, so you try to forget. Not that it ever happened, per se, but rather that you had to go through all that pain of losing someone who meant a great deal to you. I tend to fall prey not so much to forgetting the relationship as to remembering the good things so much that I really miss the guy and the fun we had together, when - as in the case of me and Daniel - we really had more bad times than good. And that can be even more dangerous, because it tempts you to try to get that particular guy back, when it's really just better to move on to greener pastures and better guys. It's impossible to ever not care that something like a relationship ever happened, but I think people like to try to convince themselves that they don't care, so as to avoid the pain of thinking about it and longing for something that's gone. Like, I don't love Daniel now, but I'll always think about him, wonder about how he's doing. And sometimes I still miss him, just for the good times we did have.
