Maybe your attraction to pretty, bad boys, has something to do with your relationship problems?...

7. I was w/ you for a long, long time
but it turns out I've found one that not only makes me happy, but I'm ready to make it permanent.


And trust me, I was very sure that this would never happen to me.

Has been for at least a year or more.

Definitely a blast!

But what about you, how are you doing? (Besides changing boyfriends, again...) :P

31. Mutley, I'm old and past the drama....
...and now I see the light at the end of the relationship tunnel. Don't give up--everything in its own time, my dear, and there really is someone for everyone.

Just remember, no Republicans. Not ever ever ever, regardless of Carville and Matalin. That will never end well.

49. Sorry you feel that way
I've been with the same person for almost 12 years (since I was 16). It's hard work and sometimes I would like to strangle him because he drives me nuts, but I wouldn't trade it for anything... I guess I'm just lucky :)

50. If they were with you, it'd be the most amusing paradox of all time.
People forming a relationship with you because you think relationships are crap.

:D

Pros and cons to both.

Either way, I no longer trust people for the concept of a relationship. Burned by too many. To say the least. so I ultimately have to stand with you, from empirical experience. :D

Edited on Wed Nov-25-09 12:31 AM by PaddyBlueEyes
I have been through one of the hardest periods in my life, these last few weeks. But honestly, looking back on it....I realize that I wouldnt trade that time back for anything. For a brief time, I really experienced what true love was, that feeling you get when all you want is to see, touch or talk to that person...and keep them safe, warm and happy......In the end, things happen....but the ride was well worth the sadness now. Hang in there :hug:
