fabulousgal Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 i dunno ya'll it seems so easy for other people all around me to be in relationships and what not. i am not saying no one goes through the drama of dating etc, but i can't seem to keep anything going for longer than a few months. things that i thought seemed real and having good potential, split and i wonder...jesus am i the only one in the relationship that felt this way? i have a weird life. no i am not a stripper or an escort. but i have a job that keeps me on the road the majority of my life and its hard. i have a home to call my base but i am there seldom. i have actually taken an assignment in another country and its making me feel a little worse than i probably should, as i enjoy my life and the opportunities i get - i have never had a long term relationship. they are all very short and passionate, and usually i am left one day wondering what happened overnight... i got told all the time, how fun and amazing and nice and smart and pretty i am. if i am all these things, why am i never the one i think? i've met maybe 2-3 guys over the last few years that i wanted to invest in. it didn't last, for a variety of reasons all on their behalf. i am starting to wonder if i need to lower my expectations or something. i am not perfect by any means. i do a lot to better myself on my own. i have been on my own so much that i am fiercley independent but i think i've hit a point in the game i want someone to share the beauties i see in life with me.
Trialbyfire Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 but i have a job that keeps me on the road the majority of my life and its hard This could be a factor in preventing more long-term relationships. If you read the LDR forum, you will find that many men can't keep the connection without consistent physical contact.
Author fabulousgal Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 yeah you are probably right tbf. i am one of those that thinks if you find something special, you go through what is presented to you to keep it going. i mean in the day and age of the internet and airplanes, i can say i dont present the ideal gf of being instantly present...but there are ways. i don't know. its frustrating. while im overseas i am doing what i can to get out and meet people. i met one gentleman who things seemed to be going well with, until he decided that his ex back home (he is an expat too) and he wanted to try again. blah.
