 |  What's my 'relationship' fate?
Hi, I am interested to hear others opinions on this! When I was growing up I imagined being in love and happily married with kids and the thought really excited me and I couldn't wait!! Now that i'm here its not quite as I imagined it...I have a daughter who I love so much and is the best thing that happened to me however I split with her dad a year ago as I just didn't 'feel it' with him and now I am going out with another guy who I also am not 'feeling it with' but we are living together, we get on brill and my daughter loves him, he loves my daughter but I just don't feel quite happy enough!! I thought I would keep it going to see if he 'grows on me' and I suppose he has done in a way but I could never say I love him, I don't ever seem to feel or understand what those 3 words actually mean!! Part of me wants to stay with him and part of me wants to leave him but I know that if I leave him I will probably just jump into another meaningless relationship and I really can't afford to keep doing that to my daughter - I need her to have a stable life and since we moved in with this guy she is sooooooo much happier so I don't wanna ruin that - it is all about my little girl after all!! I don't know what's wrong with me, why wont I let anyone get close or let myself feel happy or in love (or both).....I'm scared of being on my own too and worry that if I did ever make that decision that I wouldn't get much support from anyone (especially my family, who love my man - of course). Its a tough decision, I guess I wanna know if there are anyone else out there in my situation and how you deal with it....i'm not totally unhappy, nothing seems to please me tho and it gets in the way!! Thanks for listening  |

That's good that you recognize what this could be doing to your daughter. I used to be afraid of being alone. I ended up marrying two men that I never was in love with. I have now been alone for four years and have been happy. It gave me a chance to see that my failed relationships had alot to do with fear. If you realize that you are not in love with this guy, you should let him go so he can find someone who truly loves him. |
