There is a good chance that you have had a past relationship. Regardless of its conclusion or when it occurred, some well meaning person may have cheerfully said, "Well, it was a learning experience!"
While at the moment, this may not have been inspiring to hear. Yet in due time, you may have figured out a thing or two: What really matters to you in your individual life. What matters to you in a partnership. Once a relationship concludes and some healing has occurred, it is possible to bring forward the discoveries and leave the limitations behind.
This module considers this process of sorting and sifting "old data" as well as observing the growth and development steps that you have made - individually or perhaps in other relationships.
As you ponder the positives and not-so-positives of any relationship, it may be helpful to consider what the patterns and habits may have been which led to the conclusion of the relationship. While the negative may have been most noted at the end, there is greater likelihood that the relationship was predominately positive, along with much of life's day to day activities.
Accountability is certainly not self blame. Rather, you are simply taking responsibility for what actions, words, and tones that you demonstrated to your former partner.
Without a doubt, you have developed in your individual life, perhaps educationally, and in your professional endeavors. This evolution is good and thank goodness, it is one that is never ending.
