    VIDEO: How Do I Avoid Repeating the Same Mistakes in My New Relationship?

    By YourTango.com | Love + Sex – Tue, Feb 21, 2012 9:42 PM EST


    After a breakup or divorce, it's exciting to think of starting a new relationship with a blank slate. The next person you date won't be aware of the mistakes you've made in the past. However, that doesn't mean these problems can't come up again. So, how do you ensure you don't repeat any harmful relationship patterns?

    In this video, Author, Love Coach and YourTango Expert Amy Spencer helps a reader who doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes that she made in her failed marriage. To prevent this from happening, Amy suggests she make a list of feelings (not physical qualities) she wants to experience with someone new. Learn why this list will draw her towards a more healthy relationship and may eliminate the possibility of problems resurfacing by watching the video above.

      Try to learn a lesson from every major relationship and apply that lesson going forward. If you have the same disaster in two different relationships then you're the one who picked that second partner for it to happen again. Sure, it's possible to make an unlimited number of choices that come out wrong but what usually happens is your choices get better and better until at some point you're enjoying the grand kids because the stuff you've been doing to keep things right kept working.
