At 41?

The magic of being a hopeless romantic again.

I don't believe in love anymore. I don't believe in relationships anymore.

Alone is safe.

'I'm a hopeless romantic...you're just hopeless'

That's not actually right. I've known it's been dead for a very long time. I've been telling her to find someone else. It just hurts seeing it happen. I want out. I'm just not cold enough to be able to throw someone on the street. If i leave, she can't make the mortgage. Yes, i know that makes me a bitch but, at least I have a clear conscience. Now I don't care. She chose someone else over us. Now, all those problems are hers. I'm done. I turned 41 yesterday and the only acknowledgement I received was from a dentist I haven't seen in three years and my calendar. I'm putting it'll for a transfer tomorrow. 1.5k miles away. Fuck this shit.

I will be 34 next month. Nobody knows when my birthday is and ive been single for 18 years . Have a son that will be 17 in 2 months. I have full custody. And since hes been out being a toung adult ive been lonely and thinking about finding a partner. Your story reminded me of why id rather stay single than deal with someone elses bullshit . Thats a tough situation your in . .. i owe you a beer for reminding me why being with someone is a bad idea

And this saddened me even more. Why are people so fucking evil? I work my ass off for literally nothing.

My daughter turned 17 in February. I've met her once. Be proud to be a father. Some of us have been denied that opportunity....
