Single or Attached
I was married pre-WLS (8/02), I left my husband in July of 04 and my divorce was final this winter. Ive been a "serial dater" for the past 2 yrs....I will tell you, just bc you lose weight doesnt change the issues or relationships you have. The only thing that has changed over the yrs is my relationship with food. I still have difficulties in relationships. While my self esteem is 1000X better since WLS, I cannot always say that I like/love mysefl 100% of the time and I cant be happy with me, how can I expect someone else to be.
I truley believe, love happens by chance. Im taking a break from dating for awhile and not focusing so much on it, I was dating 3-4 times a week for the last 2 yrs. I met some great guys, I met some real a&&holes! But, maybe it was timing, maybe I wasnt ready, maybe he wasnt.
Relationships are hard. Dont give up on them or yourself!
Hey Sonya, i am in the same boat most guys I've dated either want what they all want or just to be friends. I am not rushing things. I would like to be in a relationship but no rush, WHEN THE RIGHT GUY FINDS ME, I'LL BE THERE, (THE RIGHT ONE) LOL.
Dont get me wrong I do get lonely and yeah have my days where I want to cry b/c I feel I will never be in a relationship but I put those feelings aside and know that tomorrow is another day, and it will get much better. So let life take its course cause thats all it really is a journey we learn from.
