Ever thought..

Ever thought of a different ending in your past relationships to make it easier on you and your heart? And told other people those imaginary endings acting as if it really did happen so you don't have to go back to the pain?

It's been bothering me for a while here and thought I should ask you guys. And yes I have thought of different endings but never told anybody about them. Now I'm curious about what you think.
All opinons are welcome. Please just don't bash other people's opinons though. I will try hard not to either. =] Sounds fair?

REMINDER: I'm asking your opinons. This is not about me so don't give me advice or anything, please.

There is really no point in lying to anyone about what happened.
It is what it is and there is nothing to do to change that so it should just be excepted and not covered up. Your not getting rid of the pain just simply burying it until it finds some other way to surface again.
Why not just get it out in the open to begin with... its much easier to deal with that way.

I definitely have.
I haven't shared these endings with anyone, either, though.
I didn't really find it made anything easier.
I couldn't fool myself, and I think remembering what really happened afterwards ended up making it worse.

I don't find lying to myself makes it easier on my heart, if anything it would make it worse because I know what really happened, so I would just be honest about it. It's easy to remember the truth, once you have to keep your lies in order, life becomes complicated lol

Honestly I used to do that. I mean honestly I think we all have at one point or another. We've all had the thought, well what would have happened?..... In my opinion, it might help to imagine, because maybe it'll help you in your next relationship, you never know. I might imagine things going a different way, but I'll never regret how it really did turn out.

It is quite normal for someone to imagine a different ending, I've done it, it happens. In my opinion, it doesn't make it easier, I believe it makes it harder. I think you should come to terms with reality and stop lying to yourself because you know it isn't true, why continue with lies.

I've never lied about my past "relationships" to others never mind myself (I can't see that being possible; I can't see myself convinced that this other scenario happened, unless I had some kind of chemical imbalance). To me, it wouldn't make things easier but instead harder.

I say "relationships" in that way because the last two didn't fit the description of a relationship, but rather of a phase. We were young, it didn't last long (as phases usually don't) & both boys cheated on me. We weren't together long enough to care or to be pained, as far as I was concerned I deserved better & decided that there was no need to be in a relationship at my age.

So, there was no need to make things easier because it pretty much was by itself, at least for me! Besides, what other kind of ending would I rather tell & why should I be the one to lie? Those two boys were the ones who cheated on me, let them make up their happily ever after ending to make it easier for themselves! :)

Imagining different endings is really hurtful.
It's better to cope with the destiny and turn the page.

It happened to me to imagine different ending and this makes me live in the past.
