hey QuietHeart:
boy i can really identify with the pain you express so eloquently in your posts!
may i offer up a slightly different perspective: i am a 25 year old single professional woman, with some good friends. i have been in serious relationships before, but i haven't been in one in a year.
and sometimes i think to myself: i can't imagine why anybody would want to be in a serious relationship with me! i'm crazy! i don't think i can handle a relationship! everybody else is already paired off! why do i feel so alone sometimes!
so i think your concerns are shared with almost everybody that's single/divorced/etc ...
but because you haven't had a relationship before, the concerns are magnified, and because you are a statistical minority in some ways, you think it's you ...
i don't think it's you, i think it's your situation, and i think it's normal. unpleasant, but normal.
