I wonder if this stuff is easier for the womanizers of the world.
Do the men that screw around ever really fall in love? Can they move on and detach because they never really attached/loved a woman? Are there any womanizers here that can chime in? I guess it’s not easy for any of us here, that’s why we’re here.
Since getting married, I never felt the need to have a large circle of friends. I still have a few, but they are old dear friends from my childhood. I have known my best friend for 40 years. But our lives are on a different path now, he is still married to his high school sweetheart and he has his own set of problems with an adult child of his (alcohol, drugs). We have talked about our situations. But they are different enough that we both have trouble relating.
My one sister is a great shoulder to cry on, but I feel guilty because her job demands so much time from her that I’m afraid my whining just eats up her free time. My other sister is callous, she has told me to cut my losses and move on.
And I just don’t feel close enough to other friends and relatives to spill my guts to them. I guess the point of this ramble is how do people dig themselves out if things don’t work out? Is there something more than the passage of time that makes it better quicker, and how do you turn the tape off in your head that keeps repeating. I try to do things, gym, chores, TV and it’s still there in front of me. The hideous broken record, and the worse things go the louder it plays.
