My wife left me because she felt that I was no longer paying attention to her. Well, that and she went crazy.

I'm not sure...but one thing I'm giving up doing is trying to change to please them. It doesn't work.

My ex "replaced" me last year after almost 10 years. It hurts I know...but it gets better...honest.

One thing not to do though is point the finger of blame at yourself...we can't help who we are, or how we are. It's just a little harder trying to find someone who understands that...but it's not impossible.

I was dumped by my gf of 5 years... looking back, i consider that this, though extremely extremely painful, was overall positive because we weren't really compatible.

Four years together. I'm sure that he love(s/d) you. Nothing is forever - much as we need it to be. I was 12 years with my wife. It kills me that she's not with me. But while you're still young, enjoy your loves, and when you end up old and washed out (like me) you can concentrate on other things.

Ribbons, I am sure he will come along one day, just don't look or try too hard. The reason why I say this is because it may make you come across as desperate to the opposite sex. If that's something that people as a whole don't like, that is desperation. So just don't focus on dating at all. Works for me everytime. It can take a couple of months or even a couple of years, but it's worth it when someone decent crops up.

I'm sorry to hear about your recent break up, I know how painful that can be when people cannot accept you as you are. But there will be someone out there that will, just give it time. You look as though you are fairly young to me (like myself) as well, so you have plenty of time for the right guy to turn up. Just let your hair down and enjoy life as a free single person while you can. I did for a number of years (I think it was 2 or 3 years but they were fab).

I can't imagine really enjoying being free. It's better than being in something that's really wrong, but I need that loving and comfort of someone who's always there for me.

Just wait and enjoy things as they come. I know it feels like an eternity (it does for me - I haven't had a girlfriend yet!) but if you rush this you will either a) get exploited or b) end up with someone who plainly isn't right for you. Your time will come. :)

I'm doing the things I enjoy: indulging my interest in digital photography, exercising, eating good food and drinking good ale. Go and enjoy yourself. And when that person comes to you, you'll be ready for him! :)

Ribbons,Better to find out now than later. Realtionships are messy. I too have have a habit of taking things literaly and it cost me my marrige. Wish I knew how to change myself but, truthfuly I don't know how.

Struggling with the same dilemma on how to find someone who accepts me for who I am.

I can't guarantee that it would work for anyone else, but for me the answer was to find someone who thought like me, who had values and needs similar to my own. Someone who would be my best friend, easily and without strain -- attraction is great, attraction is very important, but it alone will not last long. That wasn't a lesson I learned easily, it took some bad relationships to learn what it was that I really wanted and needed in a partner. And then, it took years to find such a person. But it was SO worth it.

Everyone has a different answer to the question. No one else can give you the answer, it's something you and you alone can find.
