I Am Scared of Falling In Love

I JUST NOW FIGURED THIS OUT!? I have always thought that I was TOO eager to find love. Especially after my divorce... I know my marriage HAD to end, but I felt incomplete and I needed to feel whole again so badly!

It's hard sharing a life you built with someone you know like the back of your hand! When you're married to someone for over a decade, you know just about everything there is to know about them. What they like/don't like, how they think, what they eat, etc. You can finish each other's sentences, and you have heard every one of their stories and jokes.

It's hard to start over and learn someone new. I feel like I am NEVER going to be able to love someone THAT completely, ever again. I don't know if I just haven't found the right person, or in being too picky, or perhaps I really AM just too scared to fall in love again...

There is such a thing like waves ..or tides .. in a relationship .. there is a high tide and a low tide.. if we try hard to stop high tide we will be foolish and drown .. if we try to stop low tide we will be lonely .. gist is we should hold the relationship like sand in hand .. let it be free .. not squeeze it so it escapes completely..
There will be times you want to be lonely and times when you dont .. these arw tides .. times when you feel close and times when you dont feel close to your spouse.. these are delicate times .. extreme opposing actions to these natural variations will create extreme strains in the relationship..so we need to handle them gently and give and take freedom generously... like sand on an open palm we will always retain a good chunk with ourselves in the end ..
Just my 2 cents of understanding on relationships..

I think a lot of us feel this way.
Especially if you have the idea that maybe you're supposed to be on your own.
Been a long time for me. But there's something almost peaceful about being on my own. That make any sense ?
