the whole thing sucks, I would just love to find the perfect partner and for everything to be simple and happy - it seems everyone else around me has no problems doing this but me..oh no.
I broke up with a long term gf a year ago (4 years and one kid later), well she left me for another guy, I wasn't too upset, our relationship seriously broke down towards the end and we barely spoke even though we lived together etc. it was hell, and when she left I was upset for umm about a day then I felt like a weight off my shoulders. We remained 'friends' though, mainly for our son, and I didn't have anywhere to live so I stayed there for 5 months. In the mean time her new fella moved in as well, I didn't really give a crap about this because like I say we were completely out of love, I didn't get jealous at all (I actually was thinking ha poor guy) and he was a nice guy, we're friends now, and he paid half the rent so really whilst everyone thought it a weird situation, I didn't really care. But I was extremely lonely.
I then moved in with my best mate and around the same time I met a girl, but she lived 2 hours away. This was March. She was amazing for lots of reasons, but terrible for others. We had a very stormy 'relationship', we never got together because of the distance and other reasons, she didn't want a relationship blah blah blah, we were exclusive in the biblical sense but there was always the 'we're not together' factor. She started getting really like 'why are you calling me I only spoke to you yesterday', in fairness she was going through alot but I couldn't hack it so in August I said well look we live 2 hours away, we always fight, we should just call it a day. The trouble is both of us, even though we always fought against each other on what we want, were really in love, maybe something silly to say after 6 months of knowing each other but she was and still is, because we still talk sometimes, just entirely amazing and no matter how much I try I can't shake her. Shame she can't treat me how she should and we live so far apart.
Anyway..a little while after I 'broke up' with her I met another girl, this one just down the road and my age, 24. She had just broken up with her guy and me in my situation so we had a good common ground, I'd seen her out on the town before and fancied her too. We hung out and stuff just as friends, then the week after she got back with her bloke. He treats her like crap, he's 19, lives about an hour away, barely wants to see her and lies to get out of it, and when he does he doesn't even bother with her etc. buys himself food but lets her starve if she ain't got money etc.
so a week after she got back with her guy I invited her to come to my parents and she did and well..this and that. We said at the time we can't let this turn into a full affair, she gotta decide if we stay friends or she breaks up with this guy and be with me properly. Needless to say that didn't transpire and I had a falling out with my mate so I had to leave, that happened end of Sept, and so I moved in semi-temporarily with this girl. She carried on seeing this guy and I'm sort of left in a limbo position of like..I'm single but not. So I was like stuff it I'm going to live with my parents, she was all like no please don't leave I like you being here etc. so I was like **** it can't be bothered to move I'll stay. So the situation is now that I've decided for myself that she's made her decision, she has decided to stay with this guy so as far as I'm concerned we don't have a future, I'm not gonna get close to this girl only to be hurt, she wants her cake and eat it but naa I'm single and when I'm gone she'll regret it. If I met another girl I wouldn't hesitate or apologise. And now I'm getting rather fed up of her anyway - like I say her bloke is 19, unemployed and lives with his mum and is a complete retard and a domestic pleb, so obviously all guys are like this and can't do their own washing or cooking or housework or drive properly etc can they? oh no..of course not, I need to be told how to do these things. Forget that I've lived on my own for 6 years, was taught everything domestic by my mum 10 years ago, & have a respectable job in the city. I'm my own person and if I do say so rather quite capable one at that too. I've only been living with her a month and a half and she's doing my nut in already..I see no future here. So I'ma just bide my time (I would leave if this girl wanted me too but she doesn't, its cheap rent and its close to the station for commuting so whatever) and if the right person comes along..but...and here's the moral of the story after my diatribe, being single isn't always that bad - I can spend my money on whatever the hell I want..permission slips did not have to be obtained for any of my headphone purchases, I can go see this girl 2 hours away if I like (because I miss her alot
) with zero retribution, I can go places and do things that I want when I want.
Yes I'm lonely, very much so (especially since like I say, I fell out with my best mate and all my mates were his mates, therefore timmy no mates), but we all need love in doses, and its not that being single sucks because it is actually pretty damn good sometimes, its not having love that sucks. You got friends, family, kids etc. but nothing replaces cuddling up to someone you love on the sofa watching a film, having your own little things, phrases sayings and stuff, yea I still cuddle up to this girl I'm living with but I'm just like whatever I don't feel owt for ya coz you're with your guy, you're not special to me.
be happy single for now and eventually, a nice guy will come along for you. I firmly believe that one day eventually a girl will come along and rescue me from this train wreck I call a life, but for now I have a first class ticket and taking each day as it comes
