@ewstewt I am so sorry your dream has shattered. It must be rough for you to believe that your one chance has got away. I am not sure that is true because there has always been another relationship, but none of them were the same as the first one.

I had to change my expectations or get stuck at a certain point in life. I did not know how to relate to people especially women so that was something that took a lot of time to work on. Change comes slowly.

I had to express gratitude for that relationship and how good it made me feel even if I did not know how to go the next step. I was shy and clumsy with words, so I had to cut myself some slack and not judge myself. I had to tell myself I did the best I could and not be hard on myself. I saw them a couple years later and there was a friendly person that was married. I hope she got the joy and happiness she was seeking. And I had to let go. It was not easy but over a long stretch I found other things to focus on.

Hope you get the support you are looking for. @CANDC
