Quote:Ugh. Nobody thinks about having kids anymore.Ain't that the truth! Seems more of a fashion thing around here. Everyone's got to have kids! No one bothers about thinking of the future anymore. Or a stable relationship for that matter.
Quote: My most recent ex, who is actually my husband whom I have managed to be nice to for the sake of my stepson, had a habit of trying to have sex with everything. If he met a new girl, he would pick fights with me, so he would have an excuse should he decide to sleep with her. After a few years of it, I noticed a pattern and had a WTF moment. I'm typically not superficial, but it always irked me that he was rather fat (which I never cared about. He gained a lot of weight after coming home from Iraq) and tried to cheat on me with fugly women. It does nothing for your self esteem, I'll tell you that much.
Sounds like you've been through hell. Makes my bad relationship history look like a walk in the park. I guess it's people like that, that just destroys your confidence in others.
Quote:I can't say that I am comfortable with either. I hate putting myself out there in any way. However, I do wish for the latter. A life mate is such a romantic notion and I am a sucker for romantic notions.I like both, but due to trust issues, I'm more inclined to stick with sexual relations. I do love romance, a lot! Just don't know anyone good enough to be romantic with. Everyone here has either been in bed with a dozen men and popped out a kid or two, or is a complete drunk and drug addict. Humpf, so much for choice.
Quote:Being single affords you more freedom. That is the best part, I think.Also being single keeps you from getting hurt. Love can be....hard to remove once it starts to hurt. I know.
Quote:Then it probably is best that you don't date. How unfair would it be to take your low level of trust out on some poor girl?Hey, that poor girl could cure me of my trust issues.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
