In my life, I've had only 4 noteworthy relationships:
1 womanizing first kiss who strung me along for a year of teenage angst while he had sex with his ex on the side.
1 ill-advised fling with a bipolar alcoholic that's a classic example of my need to rescue people.
1 rebound relationship with an honest to goodness sociopath who was involved with at least 8 girls at the same time and 'engaged' to at least 3.
and
1 Real Love that lasted for 6 1/2 years...he married the girl he left me for 3 months after we broke up.
I'm a pro at relationship crash courses: I may not have many, but the ones I've had teach me the lessons hard & fast.
Love, at various stages of my life, has been the cause of 2 major depressive episodes, 6 months of medication, and 1 month of therapy [which btw, was the best decision I ever made]. I've learned more about myself getting over a relationship than I ever did being in one. And for the first time in my life, I actually feel in control of the romantic choices I'm making.
Do I know everything I need to know? No. Will I continue to make mistakes? Absolutely. But hopefully I'm still learning as I go and remembering what it feels like to be in control of my own destiny.
I want to help you feel the same way.
