Meanmini,


you are only 26 and you have had five long-term relationships? Orare some of those relationships you mentioned above counted twice?


It sound like you have really been through the mill! Maybe in your case it is best to have a break from dating, and just explore friendships with women, for the time being.

I think reading all these long and lengthy posts simpletonHeart70hit the nail on the head.


I'll add to it. You sound pretty "happy" although you will find that with all your wealth (bragging about paying off school and purchasing a home with cash) kudos to you! But you will find that as time passes you will be utterly lonely and only deeper in denial.


Money and things DO NOT BUYHAPPINESS! When you've reached the top you will find how lonely it really is. And only then will you realize how muchtime has really passed you by.


Don't let your fears eat you. And don't let your money and wealth dictate who you really are.

I do think you have to keep a balance between being content with currently being single and yet still open to the possibilities of a relationship being just around the corner. This can seem like trying to walk a very narrow tight-rope, but I do think it's important. If you're single and spending most of your waking moments thinking about why you aren't with someone then you're not going to be in very good shape emotionally if you really did meet someone with potential.

LOL. I think 'long-term relationship' may be defined differently at age 26than at our ages.
