Free and Relieved
I didn't realize how stressed out about my relationship I was until it was over. I feel so relieved and ready to be myself. I'm so glad I got out of it and am able to move on.
There won't be anyone in my life for a while yet, but I hope he comes along someday and that I am ready for him when the time comes. I'm still a little depressed about the break up but I'm trying to look at the silver lining.

Glad to hear that's a bit of stress off your back. Going single isn't the worst thing in the world - I've done it for close to 6 years now and it can be liberating to handle things as you choose rather than having to add in the additional consideration of a mate.
Of course, there's the lack of a benefit of having someone potentially there at home to share things with both good and ill. *shrugs* Personal preference I suppose. I havn't seen a clear benefit one way or another.
If you're ever down in VA and are bored, First round of drinks are on me if you want to celebrate your new-found freedom.

*hugs* That's the spirit. Always look on the bright side of things. I don't blame you for being glad to be out of a bad relationship. Being in a relationship, despite how good things are going, I'm always afraid that he'll stop loving me and will break up with me. I'm lucky that I found my Mr. Right. I just hope he doesn't find his. :P
Rhari, please don't be mad, I don't mean to accuse or call shame on you or anything. I like you and I want you to be happy, really. It's just that you've had so many relationships and I've watched from a-far as none of them has lasted. So I just want to suggest... just to suggest... that you think about whether you'd be happy in any relationship. After so many have broken down, you have to think that maybe... and again, I'm not saying it's your fault, but maybe, just maybe, there's something about who and how you are that any kind of relationship will start to suffocate you sooner or later. And I'm not even going to say what it might be about you that makes you that way, I don't know you. But if I'm right, Rhari... and you're the one who'd know... well, maybe you should be looking at some other kind of lifestyle, some other kind of support system. I'd just hate to see you having to break up with yet another man who didn't suit you after all.
You mad?
You mad?
Not mad. I've been through a lot of different types of relationships, and lots of different lifestyles. What I am looking for now is some peace of mind, and before I get into anything really serious or new, finding myself and what makes me me.
I don't quite get what kind of relationship you're suggesting I get into but I do have more than just the support of a man behind me. I have my family (Mom, Dad, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents) all within walking distance, and I have a VERY supporting church family, who I know I can rely on to see me through some tough times. I won't just jump into something again and I'm very thoughtful as to the kind of man I want in my life next. And if you're suggesting I see a woman in my future, I will have to say no. I don't swing that way. Not because I'm homophobic but because I've tried to be with a woman and it's very frustrating to me and I find I conflict more with women.
Hope this helps you understand a little more :3

...um, no, wasn't suggesting you try swinging the other way. (Admittedly, I'm not surprised that you've already tried it. You're BRAVE!) Actually, I didn't specify what kind of relationship you should look at because I don't know what would work for you, only that what you have been in hasn't worked.
I'm glad that you've had strong family support. (I'm a little surprised that you have religious support, you've never seemed like "the churchy type." But never mind, I'm glad they were there for you, too.) Your journals sound so plaintive when you're in a break-up, I've wondered if you were entirely alone! I'm glad you weren't!
I'm glad, too that you want to examine yourself more carefully and avoid taking somebody new into your life until you understand yourself a little better. I really believe that will help you. If you don't mind a suggestion, try writing a detailed summary of your life; what you did, who you did it with, what was happening at the time, how you felt about it... the whole nine yards. Publish it online or just show it to friends or keep it to yourself; "fresh eyes" might notice something about your life story that you miss, but refreshing your own eyes, shifting your own perspective, is the whole idea. However you go about finding yourself, I hope it works out for you.
