LOL, don't worry I wasn't upset by the poem, exactly the opposite. Actually, I found something similar with EX-OW; I think he leaves them where he knows I will find them to upset me except it didn't upset me because it's too pathetic
The thing I find sad is he seems to think that happiness comes from a R - he is lonely and confused and lost when he thought that D would buy him happiness, and then it didn't so he surrounds himself with friends and women and launches from one R to another, first with me, then not, then with EX-OW, then me, then this new one straight away as soon as he's finished with me if not before.
He seems to be searching for this unobtainable Goddess that is so perfect and agrees with 100% of what he thinks, yet he will never find that, hence him yo-yoing round all these R's.
I on the other hand, don't feel the need for a man to make me happy. I am the only one who can make me happy and I don't feel less because there is no man in my life. On the contrary, I was miserable when I thought I *should* get a man because that's what people *expect*.
I realised I was happier when I didn't date and happier just being me. When I realised I should do what I want for me and gave up the men, I was so much more content.
Today I'm at a place where if I fall in love, then great, that would be an unexpected blessing, but if I never do, I am quite happy being single and I don't care if that's forever because I like being me enough not to need anyone else.
I've got my DD4, a nice home, some good friends and a career which keeps on getting more exciting. I have my studies and various hobbies I do. To me that's enough. The only thing I miss about being married is sex, and to be honest it doesn't feel any good unless I'm in love, so I'm quite happy to go without - I don't have to spend so much money on therapeutic lotions when I am abstinant anyway, so it even has health benefits!
My focus has shifted so much over the last few weeks - I am really enjoying being single.
Today I booked some more trips; I've got a trip to the beach with DD4 on Sunday, then I've booked a trip to this park where it is 'Pirate' week - I presume there will be pirate related activities.
I've got a picnic planned with loads of other people, a visit to a second park, cup and plate making with DD4 and this 'exotic cuisine' day where we are going to go and taste food from around the world.
I'm really looking forward to all this stuff, it's going to be great!
