New Relationships Post "Annie"

Being an "annie" survivor, post two........... I have learned to move forward in my life, despite all the changes that come my way. My big thing now is, I am wondering if it is fair to involve another person in my crazy life. Yes, I have dated, but I have not ventured into a committed relationship. I have been afraid of involving someone, who might not understand all the rocky roads I travel............. Maybe, I am afraid to risk being rejected, based on the things I face daily............. Oh well........... Has anyone ever had this problem?

Dear Choochee,
I have struggled over the same issue. Sadly, I have resolved to have to face life alone except for the occasional hookup. Any thoughts...

I have tried dating but scare myself away from serious attachment. I was with my ex when I went in for my surgery and we stayed together for a few more years, but when she cheated on me and left me I felt as though too much is wrong with me. I'm only 35 now and hope to have a long life ahead but am in the exact same spot. I don't know that i can put myself out there for a life long relationship.

I don't know what you are dealing with - post surgery - could you tell me the after-effects? Regarding love, I think we all deserve to be loved and should accept it with open arms and hearts when it is found. Everyone has issues - just be honest about them and let that person decide if they can handle it or not.

I am with all of you. I have tried dating since I had all my annies and surgeries. But what I find , is that people really dont understand. My daughter and my sister know me, love me and understand me. We get a laugh out of me calling the internet, "the interstate" They know what I mean. Other people act as if I am stupid. Friends do not understand that I really cant judge time well. So like some of the rest of you, I have decided to spend my time alone and if something is meant to be, it will. I am not searching it out. It scares me too much.

Shortly after I wrote this post, I was diagnosed again with another "annie" and had to have another surgery. I was dating a wonderful man when I was diagnosed........ Well, he stayed with me and took care of me post surgery and he has been my biggest supporter.................New Year's Eve he asked me to marry him and we were married three weeks ago on February 17th............I am truly blessed to have this man in my crazy life!!!!

i've also worried about dating and telling someone about my health issues. I feel like they are going to consider me damaged goods, or be afraid it will happen to me agan. I suppose you just need to find the right person and if they truly care about you, it shouldn't matter

Go Choochee! That is very impressive and happy. I was just thinking about dating after getting through a divorce last year...now this...think I will concentrate on my two sons as I think all my 'colourful' life's happenings might send someone running for cover!!! I am very happy, generally, but a London friend recently said that "with your back story you could win X Factor with no vocal chords!!".
LOL xxx
