Hopeless Romantic

Not sure why I am posting this at all really. The only thing I could come up with is that I am looking to find out if someone relates to this in the same way as me.

Anyone want to tell me about some of their hopeless romantic stories I have millions and I'd love to have a chat with someone on it sometime. Let me know if your interested.

Death Calls Us All, How Long We Prolong It Is Our Choice

Hi Ian, I am a hopeles romantic and have just held onto a relationship even thoughit made me ill.I met my ex and he became my world so much so I was willing to give up everything and everyone for him but he beat my heart black and blue. I wouldn't change thw days that we had though, when we were good we were really really good. Now my life is more stable but a little less colourful, now I guess I'm learning to love myself so when my world merges with my lover we have two worlds to share but also a place of own sanctury . I'm sure that would make a more healthy romance. I don't know if you'd agree, I always thought true romance meant keeping nothing of yourself and totally taking over each other but now I am not so sure. Hope this isn't muddled to read, tc Mary Jane

I'm only 17 but I think I'm also a hopeless romantic and have been my whole life. Mary, I know exactly what you mean by holding on to a relationship even though it makes you ill. I did the same thing with a girl and I let it completely turn my world upside down. My whole life I've been somewhat reserved socially and haven't really let anyone see the "real" me, but underneath I secretly yearned for complete union with another person, and I'm realizing now that that ideal was a major driving force in my life. Last year I met a girl who seemed willing to really get to know me on a deeper level, and she had a lot of issues that I felt like I could relate to. I ended up trying to give her everything and turning my life upside down to try to fix hers. It got to the point where nothing was sacred in my life, and since then I've just been a complete mess trying to pull myself back together. I'm learning now how important it is that we love and accept ourselves as we are and not let that be subject to anyone else, no matter how close we get to them. I think romantics just have a little harder time letting go. ~Preston
