About Me
I love humanity, and people from all over the world. My belief is that we are endowed with gifts from a higher order, and like we take care of a medical ailment, spirtuality is an essential piece of human development. By spirituality, I don't mean religion. I mean the ability to be with oneself without distractions and taking the time to assess what we need in our lives, and what needs to be discarded if one is to fully evolve as a person.

Close Breakups & Divorce
June 13, 2008 will make a year I separated from a male who had little respect for himself, let alone be respectful of me. I can honestly say that it has taken almost a year to move on and come to a resolution. In short, we were not meant for each other. It would have been dismal if I continued dating him. I spent more time being unhappy than happy. Since I've been free of my unhappiness, I'm able to think clearly, and focus on what is important in life.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Couples counseling was somewhat helpful in that I was able to express my feelings, thoughts without fear of retrebution. As far as helping the relationship, I came to realize that emotionally my ex was not ready to be in a committed relationship. He wanted to be with me while at the same time having cybernet friends on a SINGLES WEB SITE whom he exchanged phone numbers and revealed all of our relationship problems to people whom he did not know.
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I worked through the process of releasing negative emotions. Emotions that were really taking a toll on my physical health.
- Leave Working / Worked
- I decided to end the relationship and realized that Love is not enough to keep people together, especially is your significant other is not involved in the process of trying to make the realtionship work.
- Reading Working / Worked
- I spent my entire summer reading Dr. Gray's books about relationships and gained a lot of insight.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Talking it out with friends helped, however I also felt vulnerable to issues of confidentaility when it comes to my private life.
- Time Working / Worked
- Like everything in life, time allowed me to put things into perspective and I came to realize that I was not in healthy relationship and felt very unhappy.
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
My significant other called me from a cab on his way to kareokee. He told me that he is working overtime to buy me gifts. Since I know he is in financial arrears, my response to him was "There isn't anything that I would want more than for you to save your money." He response to me was "I'm in a good mood". Meaning that what I said to him was going to get him in a bad mood. He wanted me to agree to discuss personal things in person. I did not agree. He stopped calling me.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- I recently began abuse counseling and beginning to recognize how unavailable this partner was to me, and his lack of investment in the relationship.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I've spoken to various mental health providers perceived his actions as very immatured, and abusive.
- Yoga Working / Worked
