Thank you for responding to me -- it's great to have fresh on my situation.
I actually began seeing a therapist in September last year. It's something I should have done from the once my divorce began, but stupid me thought I could get through it by just keeping my mind busy by burying my head in work. That was a mistake. But little by little I'm making headway for myself. It's also shown me I don't have my ***** together.
Moving in with my girlfriend I admit was incredibly impulsive, and I perhaps should have been on my own to find myself and give more time to find out more about her. But I can only handle the situation as it stands now.
I admit to having a fear of being alone, which likely played a part in moving so fast in my next relationship.
Something my therapist told me is I've got this desire to be a savior for people. Always trying to be everything for everyone, while neglecting what I need for myself.
The only thing my therapist and I haven't truly discussed in-depth is why I fall for the wrong kind of partner for me. Although I see the good in my girlfriend. I know it's her journey to make internally, but I want to be there for her.
