Accumulating exes.
I now have an ex-girlfriend, an ex-fiancé, an ex-wife, and several girls upon whom I've had major, heart-wrenching crushes.
That sucks!! ! It sucks because I'm a one-woman man -- I've never wanted to move on from my current love to another, unlike some guys who like moving on from woman to woman.
I'll bet the best lifelong relationships start early, in the late teens or early twenties. That's when I felt most idealistic and open to the possibility of finding lifelong love. It was my love-bond apex, and now it has passed.
Now, after that optimum period of time has passed for me, I'm permanently cynical from these experiences, and turned-off.
Love working out requires a certain amount of idealistic naïvete.
I know the feeling about exes. I'm 25 and I have about 6 - 8 ex-girlfriends and one ex-fiancé and already I'm very cynical and jaded about relationships. I'm very conservative and traditional when it comes to relationships and sadly, all but one of my exes were the exact opposite.
I've found it to be a lot easier to stay single and a virgin. To me, it's not worth dating people who're so lacking in moral values that it makes my stomach turn flips. Sadly, it seems a lot of people in the U.S. fall into that category, at least to me.
I know you're older than I am (I think), but know you're not alone in how you feel on this matter.
