I've been truly in love twice. The first one broke my heart and left me after 3 years together. The second i married and after 4 years cheated on me and took up herion so as much as it hurt to do I kicked her out and got a divorce. This was 4 years ago. In the time since my divorce a had a few short term relationships that I just could not open up to the girls and the first sign of trouble I dumped them like a bad habit. Im really beginning to wonder if I am even capable of loving anyone ever again. Now I find myself not even wanting to talk to women at all as I know it will just end up in world of pooh. I'm just trying to figure out if this will pass or am I destined to be alone.

It will last as long as you want it to.

I agree with minx. This is entirely up to you.

It isn't exactly like flipping switch to turn it off though. I like to think the right one just hasn't come along yet. But still wonder if maybe my jaded feelings towards love have kept it from happening yet. Thanks for the input though

It usually happens when you stop worrying about it.

You're right; there is no switch. However, at this point you are your own worst enemy.

Try the power of positive thinking, my friend.

The question is if this Jedi has another destiny?

When the scenarios the OP has experienced happens, some get turned off women after awhile and go onto a different path or redefine their purpose(s) in life.

I think we all have been hurt to the point where we say never again, but like others have said that's up to you. If you don't pick your self up & dust your self off & carry on then your selling yourself short by letting whoever broke your heart get the best of you. DON"T be one of those people!
