bapsineurope: I get it and understand what your saying....hell if I never find the lucky guy...I'm going to have a string a lovers worshiping the ground I walk on.....
Lostrebel: Love: well ya gotta look at it like this ...it takes practice....takes a few times(sometimes) before you get it right....did you tie your shoes perfect the first time?....did you do everything/anything perfect your first time out?....why should love be any differant?
Its really okay. I just decided it wasn't for me. I am not hurt or bitter, or lonely, or any of the above. It was a sound logical choice that was analyzed and thought through. I am not sad, but actually happy. I have many things in life to look forward to; just don't want love/relationships getting in the way. But thanks for your thought.
For me, just because other people are bitter about past relationships or unrequited love, does not mean I will let myself be.
Bitterness , like jealousy, is a very destructive emotion and does no good IMO. I for one believe that we learn from past relationships and are better equipped to handle future emotions such as love, so we learn to appreciate it more when it happens.
Never say Never NG.
I for one cant wait for it to happen again.
Bring it on.
Thanks for your thoughts but I am not bitter; just taking a logical approach to this. Love/realtionships are a waste of time to me as I see no reason to persue one. I have many wonderful things to look forward to other than love. I am quite happy with my life.

Isnt it ironic that people seem to think that what makes them happy is what will make everyone happy, I got a similar response to this when I posted that I didnt feel the pain of losing love was worth it. I received everything from pity to ppl arrogantly telling me I would get over it.....I am 47 years of age, my marraige ended 12 years ago I am long over it.

I understood from your original post that you were referring to other people being bitter and not yourself......

Thanks for understanding what I am trying to say. I didn't want anyone's pity; I was really thanking those who had opened my eyes. I thought love and relationship would complete me, but I realize there is something more I was meant to do. Its just an awakening for me. Its all good. I am glad you are over you marriage breaking up. There is just so much more to life than love but that is just how I see it.
Merri: You should do what is right for you. However, if some wonderful guy comes along and knocks you off your feet, you can always regroup
Thanks for you kind words, but I have more to do with my life. Its not about love; its about discovering who I am. A relationship/love is not going to complete my life, so I have to search out what will.

Without life there there is no love. The love of life will bring you love.
navygirl1: After being on CS for a while I see so many people hurt because of love and are very bitter. So, I have done some soul searching and decided that love just isn't worth the hassles and seems a waste of my time. Not saying that anyone else should feel this way, just how I feel. Thanks CS members for opening my eyes and saving me a lot of wasted time.
vinny1967: I understood from your original post that you were referring to other people being bitter and not yourself......
Yes exactly. I saw the bitterness and it made me think that I would be making a mistake getting into a relationship/love and could end up the same way. Also, it made me think that I am looking for the wrong thing at this time of my life. I have to discover who I am and where I am going. Love would only get in the way.

Well, I agree and disagree!
I really believe people need to become 'whole' people or as whole as possible BEFORE they get involved in a relationship with another person.
None of us are perfect but if you can do whatever you can to make yourself content and even happy with yourself and then meet somebody who is also content and happy with himself/herself then the two of you can make a fantastic couple......... not being too 'needy' of the other but having the amazing symbiosis of the whole being greater than the sum of the two individuals.
We were not meant to be alone, but we were not meant to be unhappy and forced to live in a relationship that is detrimental to one or both parties either........ it should be a 'win, win' situation or nothing!

Well, not all people were meant to be alone, but some certainly were. I realize some people need that other person to complete their life, but I don't. I have other goals in my life and just don't think that love is what I need to complete me. This is not a bad thing for me, its an awakening.

It's true that some people seem to be happier alone and are 'self-contained'. Good luck with your goals, but you do seem a bit preoccupied with other people being bitter and I think it shows that you yourself have certain emotional challenges you need to eventually overcome.
