SG19765 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I have a problem that I have been struggling with for years now. I tend to be only be able to love for a short period of time. The I feel the need to hit the road. I have had this happen a few time with some decent women. I just feel the need to keep exploring. See whats out there. The problem is I'm getting old. I will be 30 in a few months and I am finding myself in the same situation with my current relationship. The woman I currently with is a little younger than me (mid twenties) and is enrolled in school. In the fall she will be doing some intensive classes and our time will be limited. I am really trying to stick with this but I keep getting the urge to get back on the road. The problem is I don't want to hurt this girl, but I've never been one to wait for someone. Thing is me and this chick have a big bond. Like we both never experienced. It's good but crazy love IMO. Nothing overwhelming just good. I just keep getting the urge to hit the highway. I just feel like sometimes there is so much more to experience and waiting holds me back and I'm not trying to get in the way of someones goals. Really wish I could stop living life like a Bob Seger song and get on but it seems to be my destiny. Let the cowboys ride I guess.
marcjb Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Sounds like you need to not be with anyone for a while to sort yourself out. What's happening is that you are trying to suppliment something missing from yourself with a relationship. You end up realising that what you're looking for is not with anyone that you meet. You will never find that something in a relationship because it can only be found from within yourself. This causes you to not appreciate people, when they are most likely great. Set them free to find someone that will appreciate them, and then after you are truly ready, maybe you will be able to appreciate someone the same way people have appreciated you before.

I'm not a selfish person. Just for some reason when I find love I always feel the urge to get back on the road. It's really crazy. There are two women in specific who I know I left heartbroken and I feel bad. Just don't know what to do in my current situation.
