From what I've seen, many posters on the Relationships threads claim they love being single, that it's the greatest thing. So it does seem strange they post in Relationships quite often. If I loved being single, the last thing I'd want to do is talk about relationships or get advice about them. I'd be out having all that fun they talk about. You know, traveling to all those exotic locales, night clubs, hanging out with buddies, career stuff....
1st time was Mary Ellen Campbell. I threw a spelling bee for her so she could win the marshmallow easter bunny. I got another statue of the virgin mary with a magnet in the bottom . She later said to me boys have warts or something like that. To this day I still remember her name and the soul crushing betrayal
2nd time was a girl at college. Looked anorexic, was smoking, short hair like Pee Wee Herman, the antitheses or every girl I had even been attracted to. But there was something about her.
Answering my own post.
The woman I was in love with is not my wife. I loved her, she didn't love me, so we parted. My wife and I were great friends, but not in love. We both thought it would eventually become love. It didn't. We built a life together and have a perfect daughter and granddaughter, but our life together is just an empty shell.
Location: As of 2022….back to SoCal. OC this time!

People who marry for any reason other than love......are never completely happy IMO.......
When I was 18 in college, a man I only dated a few times said he wanted to marry me. I turned him down. He contacted me again two years later, but I had not changed my mind. Ten years later he sent me a card with his phone number asking me to call him; that he was moving to Italy and wanted me to go with him. I've always wondered how my life would have been different if I'd made that phone call. But I didn't. The real problem, I think, was that he was very religious (Christian) and I wasn't. It was a lack of compatibility.
