I did have a long relationship but that ended. I've stopped wondering if we'd still be together if we'd had kids.
There was a time when I was asked frequently why I'd never married. My stock answer was because I'd never found the right person. The latest put-down has been from my aunt. Her comment, when discussing my male friendships, "problem is you're too clever".
Main thing I learned was to never add pressure, it will either happen or not. It may take until late in life to achieve.  |
Their is a famous love quote that I admired deeply.
"If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her."
Relationships are a 50/50 thing.. I'm willing to create a heaven for a man, but is he willing to do the same for me? Like my situation.. men that I fall for never gave me a chance to create this heaven for them... I do get resentful, however I know the kind of person that I am... and it's their loss if they do not select me to be their queen.
