Ladies, please forgive my new negative attitude towards dating and relationships.

I am truly worn out and burnt out on trying and caring to try any longer. I do not have it in me anymore. I truly just don't.

Well I don't blame you. Good relationships are a rarity these days. All the build up for such let down is so draining. People find one flaw and it ruins everything....pettyness. I had quit dating for a few years and it was pretty nice, til meeting this partner and honestly we wouldn't have stayed together long term if it weren't for the baby.

@Notsimilarreally It is a shame the baby is the glue. I had that in my only marriage, the kids were the glue that kept me coming home. But when she said we needed a divorce so she could be with her soul mate. I said take her I am done with her, that was 2006 divorced 2007. and tried dating post-divorce and quit 10 years ago for all the same experiences I had with the ex-wife when married.

@WillaKissing it's amazing how different things are generationally. Working with old folks I have worked for so many couples that had been together almost their whole lives. It's really special and kind of a pipe dream these days... We have become too finicky.

Sad to hear that was your experience. I'm hoping myn ends a little differently but...pipe dream probably and we both know it's unlikely to be forever. But I guess we will just do our best and not be surprised if one of us leaves. Kind of fucked hey? Oh well.

I hope you are pleasantly surprised one day, or are truly at peace with yourself and your decision to not search any longer. A lot of women are missing out on a sweet and talented man, with you off the market. 🤗

@Notsimilarreally I am sorry that your relationship is the way it is. Just know you will still have your beautiful baby no matter what happens relationship wise.

Thank you for those kind words sweetheart, but today the straw broke and for the first time in my life I lost my optimism.
