Natalie8 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 It has been 7 years since a man told me he loved me. I just worked it out today. The last person i was serious enough with to exchange those words with was a relationship in 2008. Yesterday one of the little girls i look after ( i work with toddlers) stroked my face and said "natalie, you are my one true love" ( We just read the story of cindarella..) That made me smile. Then i went home and cried myself to sleep.and did some maths. In the last 7 years i had 2 short relationships ( totaling 6 months)and years and years of singledom. The last guy i started a thread about didnt work out. But because i woke up next to him, (even though we didnt have sex or anything sexual other than kissing) and because he has been the first guy in years who held me and was affectionate and cuddly i felt we had "this bond". And now i feel so shattered . I have been reading about codependency. I dont know if that is what i have or just that im too sensitive. But something is not right with me.
smackie9 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Talk to a therapist...only then you will be able to make discoveries to help you move forward to meeting someone for a relationship. 1
Robratory Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Yes, I'm going to second talking to a therapist. I don't think what you describe is called codependency, but don't worry about labels anyway. A good therapist generally won't diagnose you as this or that.
