It seems like no matter how good my relationship is, it always comes to an end. I can never date again after this last one. I don't trust myself or anyone else. No one is ever going to be able to make me laugh as much. I had to leave because my emotional needs weren't met. I asked for so little and didn't get any because he was so selfish. But how will I ever find someone just as smart and funny? I think I'm going to be alone forever

It's always so hard to open up to someone new just to have it all fall apart. I'm so sorry for the pain you keep going through.

I just broke up with my boyfriend last night. I KNOW he loves me but why does he suck at it so much?

Please don't give up. I can relate. I often ask myself if there will ever be that special someone who will love me unconditionally and will last a lifetime. I'd settle for any laughter at this point. There is no magic pill to take away the pain. Time heals and mends all wounds. People come into our lives for various reasons. We have to learn and grow from each relationship we have. If we do it puts us in position to do better in the next relationship we have. Love yourself and trust that you will be okay with time, even though that's easier said than done.

For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me. We would do what she wanted and I changed myself to provide for her needs. Eventually I started feeling lonely. Things like holding my hand became impossible for her to do. Then she had an affair because she was LONELY. I thought changing myself to meet her needs would make her happy. As a guy I started craving romance and affection that just did not happen anymore. I tried everything but eventually after 12 years of marriage I was tired of trying.

If you have to sacrifice a part of yourself to make someone else happy then that person is not right for you. At one point you just have to work on yourself. Someone will notice and will want to be part of your life. I guess what I am saying is if you are trying to "catch" someone or change yourself to get them to notice you then that is probably the wrong person. I've always believed that people will drive and motivate one another not try to change or emotionally break down.

I feel I have failed at love but I still believe love exists. You won't be alone and I believe you will find what you are looking for in the most unexpected place.
