How did it go down THAT road

For all of you reading this, I'm sure you've been through some sort of decently long relationship. Now whether that relationship turned into a marriage, life long partnership or just learning things about the opposite sex that you do/don't want is up in the air. For me, I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I am stronger than I thought as well as ready to move on. Did you find yourself that way? Its always the question whether or not you are ready to move on or do you just miss being in a relationship. That could mean regular sex, good conversations, laughing with someone, opening up to someone you feel comfortable with or whatever the reason...make sure the next relationship is because you want to be in it, not because you feel obligated to stay in it. I'm not saying that was my situation, but thinking about people and talking to friends, it's the general synopsis that I've taken away. So do you put up with things from a new girlfriend/boyfriend or do you jump ship right when you start seeing signs of something you swore off from a previous relationship. Some of these are just questions/thoughts that come across mine and others minds in day to day life. Do you have any insight on the topic?? I hope its better than mine if you do.
