Hi,

I have been communicating with a married man but realize his priority is not me. He is nice to me and wants to visit me after the corona virus situation dies down. However, I realize I don't need him in my life. Yes, he has been supportive of me and gives me advice. But, I know he won't be there for me when I really need help. He can't because he has a wife and children. I like being alone anyways. I like him but realize since I have not met him in person I can be just fantasizing about him.


I am going to work on myself. I want to get into shape. I am exercising and eating healthy. But, I still eat too much. I eat a lot I noticed. So, I need to cut down on my intake. I also want to improve my appearance.


I like being alone I found out. I have my freedom to do what I want. Nobody tells me what to do. I also like my job for now. Although I am not working that much, I am happy with my job.


As a result, I'm going to try to find a way to be happy with being alone. I don't need anybody honestly. I love my family although they are dysfunctional. They are all I need for now.

When I came to those conclusions, I was the happiest and healthiest I've ever been in all respects. I would get lonely sometimes but that did eventually pass. I think you're going in the right direction.
Oh, and of course you aren't going to be a priority in a married man's life.

I too am thinking about being alone. My hormones basically stop that from happening but generally I'm a lot happier.

I myself rather be alone. I used to hate being single, but after getting into a relationship, I wanted to be alone. I don't know what love is. I still don't.

Someone told me once that romantic love is something you recognise only when you feel it, so I can only deduce that all those of us who doubt ever feel it, we didn,t feel it for real.

To the OP, being yourself and empower yourself is a great attitude. Thus, there are many single guys out there. I mean if that guy wants to go with his wife, what's the point in going on with him in a possible romantic relationship? In the case it's a friendship it's ok but if it's more, which it's the point?

And your nickname doesn't help you either. That's for sure.

Could it have to do something with the fact that you refer to women as a whole?

No, no...please, I wanted to mean WHOLE. Now, I'm not sure if the way I said it sounds good in English. I'm gonna try to explain it with others words.
I meant that maybe Ripperjack had bad experiences with particular women and now he project these bad experiences onto any other woman that he can meet.

My comment in the introduction of the post about his nickname not being the best suitable in this particular topic was sort of a joke, as Jack the ripper was a hater of women, but thinking it twice, I'm not sure if the nickname ripperjack can have other connotations in English to the name of the ripper, Jack the ripper. I mean the order in both terms "Jack" and "ripper" are used in a different way, so it may be also interpreted in a way I can't catch. Said all that and after all that mess, I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding.
