How many of you's are in a new relationship? I am ...but am still determining if I'm in a new relationship out of lonliness, or if it is just my time to move on and let go of my past relationship. I believe for me it's a bit of both.
But I do feel alive and energized again.
Just wondering if others were in a new relationship as well.....

I dropped my "man" like 2 months ago. I had loved him for years. But he played me. I started dating someone Ive know for like 2 yrs. He is awsome. Loves me and my child. I think im with you i started the relationship out of spite but its the best thing i could have done.

I am in a new relationship and I am beginning to think I jumped too fast into the new one. I guess time will tell....

I have been giving it some thought as to whether or not I am ready or want to be in a new relationship. Part of me is ready but then there is this other part that is like ummmm no thank you. I have a penpal that I just adore to pieces, and I would not mind possibly starting a new relationship with him. But I am not sure if I want another relationship with a different inmate right now, I am so afraid that I am jumping the gun on this one. I do get lonely sometimes at night, but that is why I am always online until the wee hours of the morning :D

I'm seeing someone but I would not call it a relationship we are friends with alittle something else going on!! I'm not sure how this really started and i'm not sure where this is going if it is going anywhere. But I do know that he is so different than any other man that I have dated in my life!!

It's been 3 months since my relationship died, and I haven't even thought about meeting anyone new. But then, it was 5 years between this last one and the one before. I guess I don't jump into anything fast.

Oh hell no. Not for a long time. I am going to be a little ole lady, sitting on my front porch, in my rocking chair, white hair dragging on the floor, having some "mother nature, a dozen cats roaming around, planting flowers and scaring kids:)! I've got one a**hole and that's all I need to survive!

I'm still planning on college and a career, but the doctor told me to wait and get my health problems dealt with, keep up counceling, keep taking my meds and get my s**t together. My psychiatrist and counselor told me not to even worry about it right now, I can't handle the stress.

I gotta get these two little a**es of mine into the real world right now and believe me it is going to be an uphill battle. I can't even deal with myself let alone another idiot(which I seem to attract!)

Nope not for me either.I do feel like I need attention,an ego boost if you will as I'm feeling very low and lacking seld confidence right now but I'm not ready to start seeing someone again,I still only want him.I need to get past that first and move on then maybe just maybe.......In a way I feel like I'll be single forever though,my track record isn't great with men and I have gone years in between relationships before so don't know when or if I'll meet someone new.

I have not been out with anyone since we broke up. 2 1/2 yrs. I am not ready, and I am surely not ready to jump into something new. What I have figured out, is I REALLY need to find out who I am. I really thought this was it. We were having a baby, we got along, things were awesome, then BLAM! Meth monster came in and it was all she wrote.

I am now just starting to recover. I cried for a year over this, I mean My heart was broken in a million peices. I don't have it in me to go through that EVER again.
I don't think I will ever be able to love another like I did him. I am sure not looking.
I envy those who can go on and meet others, even get in another relationship right away. Ive been there, done that, but even though I am the one who ended it, I still felt pain, felt betrayed, had a lot of anger and resentment, and every dream I ever had was shattered in one night. He's hurt a lot of people. David's birthday was last saturday he was 2 years old, and his father did not even send him a birthday card!

We will get through this together.

For a few months after my break-up with Mark I didn't even like the thought of being with anyone else. So I took on a night job to help pass my nights... At first, it was suppose to be temporary. Just for the holiday season... (that was 2 years ago this year)

I met Brian, who is a truckdriver for my company for the first time at the end of February 2004. Just a few months after Mark and I split... and I was still heartbroken about it. So at first I kept it platonic, besides the fact that I was still hooked on Mark... I've heard horror stories of hooking up with a co-worker... he lived 3 hours away, and he was 13 years older than me. SO there were lots of things that made me second guess even considering dating him. But time went on, we talked more and more and learned alot about eachother. On my birthday (June 2) I invited him out for coffee after work one night, and he kissed me. That was all it took... from that moment on we were inseperable. I fell for him harder than I've ever fallen in my life, more than I thought possible. The same happened for him. We've been through so much drama in the past year, but we've gotten through it and came out the other end stronger than ever. We are so in love with eachother, and fall harder for eachother each and every morning. There is no doubt in my mind that I will love the same way I love him today, if not more... for the rest of my life. If you would of told me that I would of felt this way when I first met him, I'dda thought you were crazy. He's my soulmate... and my very best friend.

He has met Mark a few times now at visiting... they really get along, and I am so grateful that I found someone who understands my need to be there and love Mark, and I am glad that Mark is someone who understands my needs to be loved and love someone else.

I know how hard it is to think of being with someone else when you are heartbroken. I've been on that road... thankfully, I found Brian waiting for me at the end of the road.

I am a believer that all things happen for a reason, even endings of a relationship... although they hurt like nothing else, you always learn something about yourself... about others.

I hope all of you find what I have found with Brian.

Hugs to those who need them

I don't know what we call my friend and I. We've been friends for about two years, he helped me through this whole ordeal with Josh, and things, well, they are starting to go toward a relationship, but we're taking it really slow. We call it dating, but then take it back, some are calling us a couple but we don't spend all our time together and we are by no means commited to each other! We're just taking it day by day. No need to rush anything....
