Having a rare moment of positivity and I thought I'd share it with you all. Just remember, there's ALWAYS going to be another guy--whether you're 17 or 71--who you get excited about, who makes you not care about the one before him, who maybe disappoints you/or maybe adds something to your life. But the point is, we get so caught up in these people who we think we're our one and only, and we forget that we felt this way about the 4 guys we dated before him! It's encouraging in a weird way.... Someone once said to me, men are like buses--there's always another one coming.

My mother used to say that about men being like busses, but in her day she called them streetcars.

Here is a nice story. My mother-in-law was married to her husband for 49 years. It was a good marriage, but when he, within one year she married his brother whom she had always liked. She was about 68 when they married in a big church wedding. They had the happiest 14 years together you could imagine. They were like teenage lovebirds, showed so much respect for one another. And when she died, he only lived a month longer. He couldn't live without her.

Let that be your inspiration to never give up hope! (The best thing is, she didn't even have to change her last name. My children did have an uncle who was a grand-dad.)

That's awesome advice! It's so true remembering back to previous "loves", breakups...these things come and go. The current one always seems the best of them and that's what makes the breakup the hardest. But you're right, it's a breakup and there will be a better one coming along just like every other time before. I've got my ticket! :)
And it's still okay to dream that the next one WILL be the ONE!
