Quote:It's true. The same thing happened with my stepson. Long story short, his mother had too many kids to raise, so I raised him instead. I never had any of my own.I was being pushed into a situation of raising another's child. I avoided the situation by....running like hell.
Quote:That isn't the half of it, but I suppose someone like me isn't cut out for someone like that. I did my fair share of flipping out because of it. He could never understand what I was mad about, even when I caught his conversations on dating websites and even a message he sent to his brother's girlfriend about how pretty she was and how he wanted to take her out for a drink. What pissed me off the most about that one is that he said he hated her. She was overbearing and weird. Years later, after my husband and I split, she got into a fight with my brother-in-law and sent me the message as if giving it to me then would somehow make us friends. Asshole. I guess that is the funny part, his complete narrowmindedness. Oddly, it hasn't so much as destroyed my confidence in others, but my confidence in myself. Funny how that works.Change tactic I say. Always be ready to run. That's how I've managed to avoid many bad situations. I run, then keep my distance while watching from afar.
You shouldn't lose confidence in yourself, it's ok to lose confidence in others,.....I have. I'm confident, just can't really trust anyone. Certain people can do a lot of damage to your trust and confidence. I guess all we can do is try to spot it early and be ready to walk away. I won't date anyone until I've done some back ground check on them.
Quote:You need to move to a bigger town.I'm already in a big town, If I go to a bigger population, I'll be in a city.
Quote:I don't know. I think being single for too long reminds you a lot of past hurts and why you are single. Sometimes being around someone new helps you forget that shit. That being said, I think my plan is to be single for a while without even so much as sexual relationships. I hate complications and both come with complications.I'm single for two reasons, one I want to be single. Two, Jess taught me that girls can be just as immature and careless as men, making me reluctant to risk getting with anyone who'd do the same. So freedom and security are my main reasons. At least with sexual relationships, it's just a quick meet up, tumble about a bit and feel great for a good few days after.
Quote:Or you would driver her nuts with them.I wouldn't drive her nuts. I'd hug and hold her till she can no longer feel anything.
Quote:Some major war stories there. When kids are involved, it seems to get massively complex almost immediately.It sure does. Kids just makes things far worse.
When it comes to Jess, she decided to pop out kids with other men while I was away. He left her the moment she gave birth. She thought I'd be happy with raising another guy's kid. Just jump in and assume the role of daddy. She made no thought about making a strong relationship first. She's in a hole and she thought she could use me to climb out of it. Bitch!
Kids put a lot of pressure on relationships, quite often causing break ups.

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.
