I always said, "We all have baggage. The only difference is that you can see mine." Well, some of it, anyway. <br /><br />It was 5 1/2 years before I re-found my love. And yup, it's incredibly tiresome to hear that the right guy will come along and none of it will matter to him and he will be awesome and love you for who you are and love your kids and blah, blah, blah. I was also told I was jaded, which I was. But it happened. I still believe it will for you, too. :)<br /><br />And I would have to disagree - getting divorced isn't difficult. Just costly and time-consuming. :PTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741644995043721611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170173517985242875.post-59136900581255231252011-11-08T16:50:14.584-06:002011-11-08T16:50:14.584-06:00Thanks Lisa... and you are right! Ha! Interesting ...Thanks Lisa... and you are right! Ha! Interesting what you say about needing a thick skin for it. I believe that is true, and there is no doubt that my skin is not so thick when it comes to relationships. I just don't have the stomach for this kind of way of relating with people. And I hate these sites. What I didn't say in my blog is that they tend to find little subliminal ways of preying on your sense of desperation and insecurity (two very unattractive traits). In the process of cancelling my renewal, because they renew your membership without pre warning that it is coming due -- they just outright charge your credit card and say "congratulations" -- there are about 6 steps to go through when cancelling and at each one they remind you that you may be giving up your chance at finding true love -- EVER... Yeah, I'll take my chances. bub, bye!<br /><br />@Holli -- thank you, that means a lot to me coming from you. I am back!! I hope. <br /><br />@ Greg... if it isn't coming from the heart it ain't worth it. That's my motto and view on what it means to be passionate about something. Which I am, about writing (and biking).Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607780503196885522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170173517985242875.post-74329012515444499582011-11-08T14:49:29.337-06:002011-11-08T14:49:29.337-06:00I've been in so many of those places. I tried ...I've been in so many of those places. I tried an online dating website geared to singles who are into fitness. Like you, the majority of the responses I got were those who questioned whether working out "enhanced my libido". I think I lasted 6 months and quit. I didn't even meet one person face to face. It was something that I knew early on wasn’t going to work for me. Yet it has worked for a number of successful couples I know. Maybe they lucked out. I didn’t have the patience or the thick skin I sensed I needed to remain.<br /><br />You and I are alike in so many ways. I, too, have had (and have blogged about) issues with baggage. I’ve experienced firsthand the deep emotional reaction I get from smells. I wondered how long it would take before I met someone who truly “got me”, who understood that my children were always going to be number one in my life, and that being number two was not a bad thing.<br /><br />I know how hard it is to listen to people telling you to be patient, the right guy is out there and he will find you. <br /><br />I think it’s like when you’re young. You don’t want to believe your parents were right about things…Turns out they were… Funny that… love you girl!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781299757276145564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170173517985242875.post-84025150125520159922011-11-08T10:22:08.579-06:002011-11-08T10:22:08.579-06:00Simply brilliant, Kim.
