What is the most you have ever truly and selflessly sacrificed for someone else?

I helped set up an amazing lady friend of mine that I was in love with, with the man she loved because I knew he could take better care of her and provide for her in ways I couldn't and besides, I was never sure if she loved me more than just a friend, though a few times something might have been there, I was never positive.

I know, many might say I was stupid, but her happiness was most important to me.

@MrPerditus1 Oh that's a long time ey. I know depression so well. I suffered from it for many years. I used pot to numb it but when I was still depressed in my high state I knew it was time to stop and start praying and guess what it worked. I haven't been depressed since the year started. I do get anxious from time to time and I know with time it'll be gone for good. I'm here just to have someone to talk to other than my family cause there's some things I can't talk with them. They just wouldn't understand.

Are you married yourself?

@Lichocolati Believe me, I understand the need and want to connect with others outside of those closest. I came here, originally, for a place I could vent without fear of judgement or worse but have found some really wonderful friends here.

I'm glad you found something that has helped you through the depression. I'm still searching and fighting my fight and I know I'll get through it if for no other reason than I am stubborn as anything.

Married? No, I was married before my injury and before I met the woman I was talking about. I've been in a long term relationships, but haven't had anyone in my life for about 15 yrs now. My memory is a bit spotty so can't really remember when we parted ways. So at this time, I'm not with anyone, dating or otherwise. I just think I need to get better before I try that again. I did try online dating and that didn't work out well either.
