Relationships:

[New England and The Maritimes]

Seems like a similar problem to mine, but I develop false feelings because I'm desperate for some kind of contact and then go crazy over it. Doesn't work out well.

We talk regularly now. I didn't even think this would happen... she moved way away, and I figured, "Welp, we're probably going to be drifting apart." Nope. I didn't figure not talking to her after a week or two would make me miss her, but here we are. And it seems (from the face value of what she says) she misses me too.

But I've already gotten the "like a brother" thing. That's been there for a while now. There were even times where I didn't even want to be around her at all, that's how things got between us on my end.

And yet, here we go again.

tl;dr Derp.

It's hard to tell what I'm thinking. If I knew what caused it I'd stop it. I think I see someone who is female that pays attention to me with anything resembling regularity, and I want someone to be with, so I just start thinking "She's there, why isn't that meant to be?" and after it loops around at a billion miles an hour in my brain for a while I start believing it.

Look for dem common traits or whatever.

Doesn't matter when they're adamant that they're not interested. I just wind up hurt.

IME, if one starts acting like it's meant to be before a relationship actually starts, it's the key to failure.

I don't really have anything resembling a relationship with anyone, and never have. Hardly ever get to talk to anyone, even. I get sick to my stomach from it at times, but there's really not much I can do about it.

[Natair]

I turned into a stereotypical emo after being rejected by a girl who instead dated (and is still dating) a mirror image of me before said turning.

I'm not bitter or anything, I just want to rip his windpipe out with a rusty grapefruit spoon.

[Arkinesia]

There was one girl I went on dates with a couple of times and there were a handful of times that I probably could have made it more. But those times were grossly inconvenient for one reason or another and now she's marrying some other guy soon.

He's a decent guy though. She did fine without me. And I'll probably do well without her. She was nice, though.

8 year or so total, 7 of those married. I would not say we are necessarily "stable" as in... its not always perfect, sometimes far from it. BUT I think we make it work because we love eachother. ACTIVELY. AKA we choose to stick it out through the hard times and we do our best to remember, even when we are really pissed off that underneath it all we love the other person and want to make it work. I think love and commitment are daily decisions and actions that are required to make any relationship work over the long haul. It will not always be starlight and romance and roses and perfect happy days, some days will really suck for various reasons and sometimes you may look at your partner and think UGH wtf did I do here? but through it all you love them and work with them to make a life for yourselves and you realize that you are not perfect, neither is your partner, but you can achieve perfection together through loving each other THROUGH your imperfections.

Roan, even when the day that suck, suck because of me and/or you, we still have each other. We vowed to face whatever life brings together, and we are doing so. the sucky parts are how we pay for the (oh so glorious) cool parts.

As a person who's been rejected more times than I can count, don't worry about it. It feels shit, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. You'll feel better, and quite possibly find someone new.

[Trotskylvania]

Can't say, because I am unsure when it started, or if we can even really call it a relationship. I guess it makes us happy and that's what counts.

[Bottle]

It's kinda neat to be able to click the 10+ option. My partner and I have been involved for a bit over 11 years, although we have only been "officially" a couple for 10 of those.

It's not always easy, but what gets me through the rough patches is knowing that the very existence of my godless and sinful relationship pisses off about 47% of my fellow Americans.

And that's the most important thing.

Everyone, group hug!

About 10 months, ended two/three months ago.

Just been past my 4 year anniversary. Still going strong

Amen to that.

[Grenartia]

I didn't want to have to do this but I'm reporting your egregious emotional terrorism and addiction to oppressive assaults me and other vulnerable people to the FBI.

5/10. I laughed a little.

I'm giving 9/10 for effort.

See you both are in need of Greed and Death's marriage counseling services.

Isn't that like having a blind seeing eye dog?

This is getting sigged.

This is incredibly sweet. Incredibly sweet.

Can't stop thinking about the one time I was in a relationship, when a week later I got told no such thing was ever said and I never got a reason for it no longer existing.

[Ovisterra]

I'll drink to that.

[Nazi Flower Power]

The longest without a break was about 2 years, then we broke up for 2 years, then for about a year we were sort of back together, then we broke up for good. A lot of this was a long distance thing, and one reason we ultimately broke up was because I realized we were never going to agree on where to live.

Had something similar happen to me once.

Then you became a communist hell-bent on destroying good, wholesome, American family oriented values. *nods*
