I Would Rather Be Alone Than Be With the Wrong Person

There is no benefit to being with someone who is wrong for you. You have but one life and to waste a second of it with someone who truly isn't for you is foolish in my opinion. Stand for who you are as a person and don't settle for lower standards because you are afraid to be alone.

I do agree....and it's the advice I would give.
But.....its hard to end things with a person who used to be the right person.....but is no longer......but you know they still see you as the right person for them......馃槙

@RubySoo So why are they not the right person anymore? What has changed? Maybe you yourself has changed?
RubySoo56-60, F
@Timelessdays Everybody changes constantly in their lives. I think it's probably save to say women more so than men. I'm very different from the 23 year old I was when I married. What I wanted from life then is not the same as I would like now.

@RubySoo So have you tried sharing that with him and expressing your new needs?
RubySoo56-60, F
@Timelessdays ....oh yes.
He is more than happy with things as they are. So....so should I be. Its that simple to him.
Timelessdays36-40, M
Ouch....Yeah even I don't agree with that. It's sad he cant see what damage his selfishness is causing :(
RubySoo56-60, F
@Timelessdays I'm not unhappy as such... but I'd like the chance to do things at this point in my life that really don't interest him....and he thinks I'm stupid because he can't see the appeal. If I left....lots of people hurt. If I stay.....only me hurts. That's the deal. X

You don't have to leave but you also can do your own thing form time to time. Its a marriage not a prison....
RubySoo56-60, F
@Timelessdays things are never as simple as they seem. If I could...I would....but I can't. Everyone's marriage, partnership is different. With respecy You don't know our story. I simply don't have the freedom I would like.
Maybe one day

@RubySoo Very true and my apologies. I didn't mean to imply it was such a simple task at hand. I hope that you do have that freedom one day as well :D
