I ran into that problem when my ex and I split up.
Trust me, it isn’t a bad thing. If I had settled down with any of those girls I would have been miserable.
I didn’t know just how much another personality in your life can uplift and elevate yours or drag yours down to rot until I got with the one I’m with now.
So many things that I hated about myself disappeared when my ex and I went our separate ways. Her life improved immensely and she was doing everything she couldn’t motivate herself to do when she was with me. We didn’t hate each other, we just weren’t right for each other at all and it took way too long to see that. Hell I didn’t see it until after the fact.
It isn’t worth it if it isn’t the right one. You spend years that you can’t get back and that’s easy to do.
When the right one comes along she’ll want a whole lot more than casual sex, so don’t settle and just enjoy the casual sex in the meantime.
You’ll miss the old adventures one day, but not enough to ever go back to them WHEN you find the right one.
She’s out there.
She might not be the type who works for NASA. Margaret Hamilton’s husband was a NASA engineer.
Thank you man, you are right. I've just got to stay on my path, live my life and enjoy it. Me focusing on doing what I love will bring me more life satisfaction than chasing a relationship ever will.
Thank you.
You’re right, and when the right person comes along you’ll have your world in order because you had the time to get it there.
You’re welcome.
