Nate... Nate... Nate.. Here comes another ass kicking.
STOP
These strolls down "bad memory lane" are getting you nowhere. Forget Vanessa, forget Amy... move on.
The issue is that you are connecting with the wrong type of woman, you are very controlling and you absolutely exhibit co-dependent tendencies. A lot of us on the board are like you.
So here is the good news...
You are single and free. Go have fun and live life for awhile on your own. Many of the best times in my life were had when I was SINGLE!!! I trip to Jamaica with a few friends is a perfect cure for the blues.
You are going to be fine. Take it slow, find a nice girl and then think about doing the family thing.
