Back with my tail between my legs

You guys were right and I chose not to listen to you all and now here I am back with my tail between my legs.

RG is a single guy who is happy with his singleness and not into a serious relationship. I had to learn it for myself. It was a hurtful lesson too.

I realized it this week when my birthday passed by with not even a "happy birthday". I went to San Diego for a week with my kids and came home with all kinds of stuff for RG. I gave him his gifts on my birthday and we walked around a cruise night and then I went home. And cried on the way home.

Its tough because he still wants to date and talk often. I am with him and loving him but I know thats that all it will be. Its hard to love someone from afar.

Tonight we went to dinner. I was on top of the world being with him and dressed up, and having a good dinner. And he was totally unenthusiastic dressed in a t shirt and jeans. He seemed like could not care less where he was or who he was with. It hurt. I realized that I put my eggs in the wrong basket.

Right now I dont want to meet anyone else. I dont want to date unless its with someone I have known before. I dont want anyone new. I just want to lick my wounds. Put on my ipod and run as far as I can. Somehow I think that if I just dive into my training and forget about men for a while I will be ok.

Its even tough for me to read about everyone elses dates. I am happy for the regulars on the board though who are doing well.

Laurie,


Sometimes it helps to do a Pro/ Con list when you're trying to make a decision... as in the case of whether to continue with RG or not.
