My parents are going through a nasty bitter divorce after being married for 34 years. I don't remember them ever getting along but things escalated a lot in these past few years. My sperm donor got into debt and forged my mother's signature in the papers so he could get bigger loans. To this day he won't tell why he needed so much money.
My mother is in serious financial/legal trouble thanks to him. Lots of arguments, name calling and threats. My brother and I are always on check because he can get very aggressive. My mother hopes to sell the house as soon as possible (there's another person coming for a visit tomorrow, fingers crossed).
Due to all this, I've ruled out ever having a relationship. I don't have any experience yet and no girl as ever been interested in me anyway but I believe absolutely no one can be trusted. I'm not interested to watch my life being ruined by someone else.
I wouldn't mind dating casually but that's as far as I would go. However, I was talking about this with a long time female friend (we've known each other since were 5) and she said I should go to a therapist to sort "these issues" out. She says it's not healthy for someone so young to rule out ever being in a relationship.
I can't see why not...I'm doing no harm to anybody. What difference does it make?
Its your choice. No one cares if you never marry or have a serious relationship but it is foolish to limit your future experiences based on someone else's mistakes or misfortunes.
I would just avoid it completely. I won't ever run the risk of having my life destroyed by someone else.
Good luck with that. You best be scoping out some obscure monastery or deserted island to spend you days in solitude. Or you could try to think things through, make wise decisions and learn from your mistakes.
How is my life being destroyed? I learned from their mistakes, meaning I won't ever get in the same situation.
If someone you know gets into a car accident - are you never going to get into a car again? If someone you know has a friend that turns on them, are you never going to have a friend again? If someone you know gets fired at their job, are you going to never work again?
If you want to choose your life path out of fear - then you aren't really choosing anything. Life is too short to waste it.
