I have memory loss about many things, I have to write bad stuff down as I don't ever remember it, until I read it again, and then I am amazed that I have forgotten it, and amazed that I didn't leave right then. It hasn't been as positive for me as Tuffgirl suggests, it helped to keep me in a relationship that was horrible because I never evaluated the relationship as a whole, with its ongoing pattern of awful, only ever the latest incident in isolation, and everyone makes the odd mistake, and deserves a second-chance right? rinse and repeat for years.
And during the time we were together, I was about as far away froma positive thinker as it is possible to get.
