When you know love doesn't conquer all. How many breakups do you have to go through? How much heartache is too much?

I know. I am 27 and thought that I had found " the one " . I wonder if I will ever meet someone who will be right for me.

 

I don't want to have just casual dates and get my heart broken again. While he wasn't my first heartbreak , it was sure the worst.

 

I have friends who have been dating their now husbands for years and they are younger than me. And I just got dumped while they had their weddings.

 

Who knows if they will be happy , I hope they will.But you do wonder when it will be your turn. And the ex who was a jerk to you and broke your heart can move on faster and they always seem to end up with someone serious. Gah.

I feel the same way as you both. The last guy I was with, thought it was "it", but I was wrong. I enjoy being single and always have, but I do want a companion to share things with and this casual dating is absolutely terrible, I hate it. It's like my life is a constant merry-go-round and I can't get off. My ex before this ex, got married about a year after our breakup and I'm pretty sure my ex will end up finding another good woman he does not deserve. The only way I stay optimistic is taking it one day at a time...I really try not to think about it, I just do the things I need to do and next thing I know, I wake up and it's a new day.

I'll add another vote to music. Boxing/fitness. Plus being on here like we are, knowing many others deal with it also- AND survive it.

 

The bottom line is our lives ARE worth living, with a SO or not. Having children drives home your worth in reality too.

 

They keep me waking up tomorrow.
