yubba: . I am alone seven years and I am very happy I do what and who I want as and when I want, one problem I have is that there is not one Indian or Cantonese restaurant within two hours drive, no Macs either, you could not say it's a one horse town because we ain't got no 'kin horses either.
Learn to cook Indian or Cantonese in ur free time then Yubba!!
Dedovix: well, if it leads to a breakup ,end of a relationship ,whats the difference if the end result is the same
The difference is in how people face into potential new relationships. If you had been hurt simply because of a natural relationship break-down, or as a result of deliberate or malicious hurting from your ex, you will feel differently about relationships and partners.
The other day I was in the park; and a young man approached me, and asked if he could share my pipe.
We were sitting, smoking, and talking: when his phone rang...
He started making excuses, while he was trying to invite her to help smoke my pot, without letting me know what he was doing...
Eventually he talked her into coming to where we were...
She walked up like a storm cloud.
She was standing over him, scowling at him.
He jumped up like he was her birch, to kiss her, and whisper in her ear...
By then, I was standing up, and grabbing my pipe out of his hand.
That's when she suddenly acted like she saw my puppy, and said, "How cute."
Then she said, "I just totally bought some weed," in a friendly voice that was loud, and meant for me...
I could tell she saw me watching when she walked up; and wanted me to stay long enough for her to convince me that he's an a**hole: and then we could vote on it, and put him in his place... and she had taken on a flirty tone to accomplish her goal.
I've been in his shoes so many times; and I didn't even slow down when she said, she bought weed.
I was walking away fast, and wasn't about to watch the wreck that was about to happen, let alone, participate in it.
I was wild in my younger days, and had more than my share of women, with all the trouble that implies...
I'm thinking that I'll be better off alone; and that's my plan.
Let_Us: No offense meant, my friend, but THAT is a sad story! No! Not the one about the girl and the guy (although THAT one is sad, too). I mean your comment "I'm thinking that I'll be better off alone, and that's my PLAN." Having others in our lives adds SO MUCH "color" to them, that the thought of you turning your back on the richness that people contribute to our lives DEPRESSES me.
I'm sorry that the thing that strengthens me, depresses you; but, maybe it'll help if you fast forward to your last day...
Do you really want to spend your last breath, begging someone not to leave you?
Someone who doesn't even love you more than that young man's girlfriend likes him?
Maya74: Ideally - we should learn from our past mistakes and enter new relationships with that knowledge, yet fresh and capable to love and trust wholeheartedly again. But, can we really do that? Or do we develop all sorts of ways to protect ourselves from being hurt again and thus - maybe - prevent ourselves from being truly happy with someone else?
When I'm over an ex and in a good place myself I did tackle a new relationship.
What I have learned is to not get head over heals into something and hold my emotions back until I know if a relationship worth getting into will come out of it - I do avoid getting my heart trampled on these days.

Maya74: There's not much difference to me either.
I even think that it's better if I was intentionally hurt - I can be 'rightfully angry' and overcome everything faster...
makes sense , just hope you don't trow kitchen applies,vases and coffee mugs at the pizza delivery guy ...after you break up with your boyfriend

No, I just go through a phase of being verbally mean and spiteful toward the ex. Very immature, I know, but can't help it.

. You lost me on that one because all break ups are at the intention of another so I don't see how you could be having problems over something non intentional.

nop not afraid of living. Life is full of challenges, and we have to learn to learn.
