Got dating dilemmas and
relationship stories worth sharing?

I have a great story
Just caught up in deep distrust - I am a person of no second chances I seem to be able to plod along in my own way - have a good marriage with C - had the terrible starter marriage story I had posted a while back. Thought if I went back and tried to make peace with D it would bring closure.  At the core of it I have come to recognize that I just have this terrible sense that I'll always be abandoned and it haunt...

Single again. Daunted by dating. Images?q=tbn:and9gcq6wqvw_zthcrvfi1kvpgsxd1g3k3rk2tvlrrd56atzihytblzt Yes, it is much more than a rough patch, it's an opportunity for reinventing myself. I never thought I'd be married let alone divorced. But here I am. I'm past the hurt, sorrow and anger, in fact I'm happy. I have a beautiful daughter, a great job, men are making passes at me, it's too grand. But when it comes to dating (screeching halt... Read more...

And For His Next Trick... 0 Mel was dating a magician … of sorts. Every now and then her boyfriend Greg would vanish into thin air. Unreachable by phone, email or via door bell, Greg would literally disappear. As much as three weeks would go by before Greg would 'ta da' back into existence, and like all good magicians, he would never reveal his tricks, and offer very litt... Read more...
Letting go of love... Images?q=tbn:and9gcr7obrmowfzkjif68voq8lb-xlbhdo-ny_q9sd1bhguphlds5hoew It's amazing how two people who love each other so much, can drift apart in what seems like a split second. Lu and I dated for 6 years - the majority of which were very happy times. He taught me how to love, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Like most relationships, we had our constant ups and downs. After 3 years o... Read more...

    rolyt The yes/no does not have the right context. You were right to do what you did because there is no point is dragging out the relationship when it's one sided. Sound like you tried, but in the end you can only try so much. Short term pain for long term gain

Let it Go or Just Let Go! Shutterstock_20350711 Relationship deal breakers and relationship compromises are definitely NOT the same thing but they are very, very close. You may be able to date the guy who forgets to put the cap back on the toothpaste or loves sports too much as long as he is kissing you in the morning with fresh breath or appreciates that you are his number one cheerleader. ...

New Chapter Images?q=tbn:and9gcsnpoeonbykcrzs-lrd70kdfb2ejfsk0vvgcg6zbca9a9cfdkxk I guess I should start by saying I'm newly single. One month ago I was engaged. I thought that was it. I would spend the rest of my life with this guy, have a great wedding, beautiful children, and stand by my husband no matter what. Of course there were issues in the relationship like any other, but I recently discovered I was the ... Read more...

Why do I always end up dating the wrong people? : Patterns and relationships Images?q=tbn:and9gcr87jnv82pwktr0zjw1o3ob8bxjd90_gcnmcgazpuzw8rbqqwnt "Why do I always end up dating the wrong people?" Patterns, they emerge on and on in relationships.  Why is it?  What I've come up to is that every single relationship I have been into, faces a difficult stage just at the very moment I'm not able to keep some complaints for myself. The details on the complaints may vary, but wha... Read more...
  • Valerie Oh yes I do...for most of my childhood, my mother was "unavailable"...she had 4 other kids and her own emotional issues. I found myself craving attention from men who were unavailable as well. Even though these situations hurt us, it's what is familiar to us, and what we believe love should feel like. I'm happy to say, my awareness and knowledge of this pattern is helping me to me avoid playing out that same painful scenario in current relationships.

  • Dreamerella I definitely believe that our past can have an influence on how we interact with our others in any kind of relationship. Growing up with a lot of insecurities and a lack of a father figure, I would seek validation for how worthy I was from men. I also seemed to be attracted to the tormented souls - like part of me wanted to save them - as if that too was some kind of validation that I was special to someone. It's important to be aware of our issues and work on them in order to find a healthy relationship.

  • Petal I totally relate. Also brought up by an unavailable mother, my feelings, doubts and concerns as a child never respected, always craved the attention of men, using my sexuality as an exchange currency for affection. The outcome was even worse, no man respects a woman that's easily led to bed. The nice guys that have been in love with me were always treated poorly, always ending heartbroken. I've been working on these issues in different ways and I've reached their origins, the blocks that don't allow my life to smoothly move forward. Now is the time to untie the knots and have the strength to say NO next time I'm confronted with an old pattern.
