George Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I am currently in a relationship, but the relationship brings more sadness than joy. The only reason I am staying in this realtionship is the fear that i will be alone and will not find anyone. I know it is not nice, but let's face it, how easy it is to find a mate these days. I am not talking about finding someone of the opposite gender, I am talking about find someone of the opposite sex who is fairly decent g/f or b/f material... Well, from my own experiences, it is very difficult. I am sort of pessimistic about this whole thing. I have had 4 differenr girl-friends, and it seems there is no match for me. It seems I always put much more in a relationship and get less from my partner. I am kind of getting used to it, but I don't want to. I don't want to live with the idea that we just have to settle for something less than we deserve. But what if what I think I deserve does not exist? What if I am being unrealistic? All I am asking is a lady who is fairly good looking, is faithful and truthful to me, and who is not a user.... DO you think it exists??? and how often does one come across this type?

Tony T Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 There is a right person for everybody but you have to be patient. It may take you a few more years to find her or she may be right around the corner. Staying in a relationship that brings you more sadness than joy is insane. You are better off by yourself or with a dog. Your situation is not unique. A lot of people are looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right and have been looking for a good while. Usually, the right person comes along when you stop looking or you aren't really giving it much thought. Once you are very happy with yourself and are comfortable being alone and enjoying your own company, the right person will present themselves...guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites

BeenThere Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 George, "Alone" is a state of mind, not a state of being. You'll never find happiness outside of yourself unless you first figure out how to find it within. Take some "alone" time; not to sulk, but to find "George." Rebounding from one relationship to another, or staying in an unhappy one because of desperation will only lead to more despair.

Lauren Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 It may seem difficult or even hopeless at times, you will find someone. Sometimes it takes a little while for the paths to cross. I had boyfriends and dated - not alot. There really wasn't anyone with whom I wanted to share my time. I had friends and other interests. I seemed to be asking the same questions that you are asking in your post. It didn't make sense to me to enter a relationship or stay in a relationship if I wasn't happy or if there were problems. Obviously, no relationship is going to be without it's questionable times and problems - I'm talking serious matters. If you are unhappy in your current relationship, you really need to end it and start making yourself available for the right person. You need to be ready, she might come when you least expect her! Even if it does take awhile, you will be happy that you ended something that wasn't going anywhere. If you are unhappy, then you really can't be all that you are with this current girl.
