And so now I'm just kind of wondering when will that change where I'm willing to feel that hurt again or even know how to act when that situation presents itself. So it's overwhelmingly paralyzing, I think.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. I also feel that I agree with the idea that this is the first time I'm truly feeling single and okay with it. I think the thing that worries me is, well, I can go into something new knowing I don't have to worry about whether or not I have kids because I have my kids. I have the The reference of a marriage prior. I know what that's like, right?

I have some of these life examples that I can carry into something.

What I don't have an example of and what worries me, and I don't even know what an answer to this would be, is because I didn't have anywhere near a healthy relationship with my ex-husband and because all of the situations, dating scenarios I've been in, at surface level maybe they were healthy, but at the end I never really had a healthy relationship.

I don't know what that looks like and that feels like such a blanket arbitrary statement, but I don't know what that feels like. I don't know what emotional intimacy with someone who truly won't screw you over feels like. And I don't know what trusting someone without having a guarantee feels like. Those are feelings that I don't have. That's a reference I don't have.

And I think that's where I get really nervous is the second, and probably why it's good I'm not talking to anybody, but the second I have any kind of interest, I automatically go to a place of It's gonna go away. I'm gonna lose it. And I feel that's happened to me in my past. Dating experiences were the second I really felt for someone.

I no longer had that feeling of excitement you're supposed to have at the start of something. No matter what happens, I had that initial feeling of dread. And dread turned into acting crazy, right? Or, you know, getting paranoid. And so, yes, part of the beauty of not answering to anyone right now is that I get to live my best single self. But it's also, I think, protecting me from that feeling

von jemandem zu treffen, den ich wirklich mag. Und ich weiß nicht, was ich tun soll. Es gab eine Situation vor ein paar Wochen, wo ich jemanden getroffen habe, der wirklich gespannt war. Wir haben später herausgefunden, dass dieser Mann verheiratet war.
