I am sorry, Loveshack, I have been completely foolish, selfish, and oblivious in my use of the forum, and have not taken it as seriously as I should have. I tried my best in offering help, but my effort doesn't replace experience. To be honest, though I am learning a lot lately, I am not the best person to ask for dating and relationship advice at this time. I am not very experienced in healthy relationships. I wish you the best!

Goose, has something happened that's making you rethink things?

 

In any case, if you decide to take a break from giving other people advice, that doesn't mean you can't still stick around and keep learning. I take long breaks where I just read and don't get around to posting much.

Caught the one which laid the Golden Egg..... maybe....? ;)

Has anything happened GC? I hope you're okay.

 

Last time I checked, there was a disclaimer when joining this forum, where all new members are told that we aren't experts, but just regular folks willing to talk about interpersonal relationships. We all have different life experiences and different perspective on things. The onus is on the advice seeker to separate the wheat from the chaff. That means that sometimes we want advice from people who can empathize with us, sometimes we want advice from people who can offer an outside perspective. There's room for both "I don't know what I'm doing either" and for "I got over that hurdle and here is what I did".

 

Please don't be so hard on yourself.

And yes, sometimes an inexperienced person can prove to be better help than a professional. This is not about how good you are about dating/marriage, and what happened/is happening in your current relationship. Sometimes it is just 'What is your point of view on this problem?'

For the record I found you to be often times very insightful. Whatever is going on... don't beat yourself up for it. I have only known you to be a very kind and considerate person who anyone on LS or in real life would be honored to call friend.

 

Best Wishes!
