I have been trying to get in a relationship for four years know and gave up about four months ago. I have been in one for three months know and didn't even try to be in one. It just happened.
Try being in a fifteen year relationship just to find out that you were being used as a rest stop until she found something better and that your children may not even be your children. They haven't talked to me or have seen me in almost two years know and I brought them up since they were born. I found my own inner strength and realized that I truly don't need anyone a long time ago. I chose to leave the door open for possiblities and am glad I did so. Infinite possibilities are always out there when one never gives up. I am an original EP user and my original name was fifteenyearslost. If EP stories are still online I should be up there.
@Encontrados thank god she didn't get pregnant. 2 and a half years. so i have had 7 in my lifetime. Had my heart broken 3 times out of the 7. Never been married either.
I did for years. And I always did the choosing which never turned out well at all. I longed for someone to be interested in me for a change and that went on for oh I don't know...maybe 20 years? Then one day someone did...and most of you have already heard that story many times. We've been married very happily for 12 1/2 years now. So Dreamy my friend, it may happen yet, don't give up.😉
Yes, I long for someone to "choose" me... of course, assuming that someone is someone I want and not psycho....
Which I say because a female friend sorta twisted my arm into giving one of her girl friends a hug, and then after that, the girl went around telling everyone that would listen that we were dating.
At first I thought my male friends were just razzing me. But one of them finally realized, I literally had no clue what was going on, and had to work to convince me this was actually happening.
When I finally found her, I walked in her telling a story about "us" and I bite my tongue not to completely flip out, and took her to the side and told her, reminded her, that there is no "us" and we're NOT dating, it was a single hug. She got the picture (though cried that day), but she quickly rebounded and found an a real boyfriend and they dated and both seemed happier than they were before.
