The last part of the first sentence confirms the second sentence. It is a good thing.

People kid me and say I'm a heartbreaker. I am always the one rejecting the men, with the exception of my husband who cheated and left me. I have only had 3 relationships since my divorce and I broke it off with all of them. In early dating scenarios, I still have been the one to say "I think it would be best that we just be friends, I don't see this going anywhere", with the exception of one guy. I give people a chance but nobody ever sparks any interest for me. And with my relationships...two of them I left because I was being treated badly. Both, as another poster said, way later than I should have (it's hard for me to leave relationships). One I left because the age difference was just too great (he was 18 years older than me).

Whichever it is for you, do you think it's a good or bad thing?

Every gf I have ever had has broken up with me. For stupid reasons, some for no reason at all.

I even had one girl who abandoned me on a date and left with another man

Whatever

My last serious RS ended 11/08. We were perfect for each other in many, many ways. Except he wasn't sure that he wants marriage and kids with his then/current lifestyle. (activism) He, of course, never did change that feeling of not being *sure*, so I had to end it so I could move on and find someone who wants the same things as I do.

For the record, when I met him, I told him what I was looking/hoping for out of a RS and he said he wanted the same things....womp...womp...lol....

Guess what? We're still good friends and sometimes I think about going back to him because Im not sure the whole marriage/kids thing is happening at 36 yo. He's perfect for me in almost every way. We were very compatible in a RS.

It's complicated...cause eventually he WILL want (and have) the family life, and I'll be way too old!!!

I've been on both sides (none were pleasant), and with one relationship being a mutual decision (that was the best breakup yet).

When I was younger I was the breakee and around 26 I became the breaker. Breaking up is probably not a bad thing for you. Picking better is probably the key thing for you. Try going to new places. Whatever you've been doing do the opposite! At the very least it will break you out of your comfort zone and get your passion for life aroused again!

If you go back to this guy, he still wouldn't marry you, and most likely will break up with you when he finally meets "Miss Right."

Yeah, that's crossed my mind. Thanks for the reminder...
