... I stayed true to myself.

I love S, but I wasn't happy. I need more communication than he was able to give- and being a distance relationship, you need MORE than a "regular" one.

I'd rather be single and open to a great match than in a relationship feeling happy only part of the time.

I'm feeling pretty wound up, but better :)

I am curious on how you broke up with him? Face-to-face? What did you say? What did he say?

I'm so sorry to hear this, but I also know EXACTLY what you mean. I don't want to only be partially happy with someone or be with someone that only meets half the criteria in my life. Although it's been very very hard being alone and I'm sometimes very sad and unhappy, it's almost more stressful and more sad when I know I'm with someone and still feel alone. It seems when I have let that person go, it's made me feel better, lighter on my feet as the weight of the other person has been lifted. That is when I know I did the right choice.
That person will be their for us at some point in our lives. If he doesn't come, I do know that I rather be alone then with just anyone. I rather be alone then to be a relationship where I feel alone, unhappy; where my needs are unmet.
I would like to be with someone that is closer to me, that has time for me. At the same end, I want someone that also allows me my space. I call that a good balance. I'm noticing as time goes by, it seems harder to find this balance, but I'm hoping somewhere out their, the right one will be for me, as I know he will be for you.

I'm sure you understand with the whole RG situation. It was so hard to give you advice and in the back of my mind saying, "hey, you should be following that advice!" LOL!

Unfortunately it was over msn and the phone... not the best, but who knows when I would SEE him next and there's no way I could've waited!

I wasn't getting enough to feel happy, and I want happy.


Al, this says it all.
