I never even had a boyfriend until I was 21, just wasn’t interested in finding anyone, though I couldn’t be loved-but didn’t want to be either.
Then the first guy I dated, we were married 4 months later-his idea, so I went along for the ride.
25 years later, we parted in friendship, just two very different people, we had grown apart in values and what was considered entertaining.
Again, I wasn’t looking for love, but just somehow worked out that it found me, and 8 months later from the divorce being final, I got married again, at age 49.
We share many, if not all the same values.
Makes for a strong bond to know someone will be there for me, and I’ll be there for him, kinda like getting to live with a favorite friend, but better.
Yes, twice I would say, my ex-wife and my most recent ex-gf. My ex-wife and I were best friends when we were together, it was nice. My ex-gf was downright abusive; not physically, but she could administer a verbal/emotional beatdown like no other woman I’ve been with. She really did a number on my confidence and self-esteem, so glad I got out of that relationship. There were other women who I thought I was in love with, like this one senior year of high school, but now I consider those others to have been strong infatuations rather than real love.
I 'm on love currently. I love my partner, we have been together for over 9 years. 10 years next January. she was there when I got sick and made me go to the hospital. she knows when I skip my pills which I don’t do on purpose I just forget and she gets mad
I’ve never been in love but I really liked a girl I was friends with for a few years who I was only intimate with a couple times. It could have almost been love for me but I doubt it was like that for her. The other people I’ve been with I didn’t love but I did like them. I’ve never been in a serious long lasting relationship.
I’ve been in love four times. Twice with men and twice with women. The first was a man and I married him. He turned out to be a cruel, physical and sexual abuser. I divorced him six years later, as soon as I could. The second one was a man and I became engaged to him for six months. I was very paranoid at the time, and I didn’t trust him and he turned out not to be trustworthy, so, it ended. The third was a woman and I was madly in love with her at first sight so, we moved in together and it would have been heaven except that I was very depressed, suicidal and unstable and constantly in and out of the hospital over the three years we were together and she went back to drinking, and finally she had had enough and left me. The fourth was a woman and I didn’t love her at first but over several years time, I gradually fell in love with her but, by the time I fell for her, she fell out of love with me, so, it was just bad timing. I was heartbroken about it though. We stayed in touch over the years and remain in touch to this day. I am still in love with her and she doesn’t feel the same way. But, due to my new religion, which is Catholic, we cannot consummate the relationship anyway so, it works out and we are just very good friends.
I have been in love a few times. Sadly, I have tended to choose selfish, childish men who use me every time.
I have been single now for about 4 years or so. I have not had any relationship that has lasted more than a few months since my marriage of 12 years ended 10 years ago. I am open to love but I am a realist. I am rarely attracted to anyone and if I did meet someone I am attracted to, then need to be attracted to me as well and then they need to be very emotionally mature, kind and respectful.
I fall in love easily…do it often, now i have to check myself because i am married. I would never give up what i have for an adventure. I have been loyal for 15 years and never touched another woman.
It’s been 7 years
