Wondering if anyone has made bad relationship decisions because they felt lonely.

Don't really want to put myself out there again just yet but feeling lonely. Just not sure how to wrap my mind around it. Any ideas?

It must be bad, I can't even spell lonely right. Sorry.

to lonely = to needy when it will comes to a relationship. no one likes to needy.
I know what it's like to be lonely. I really do. Just don't get deserpate and make any dumb decisions.
You don't have to have a partner to not be lonely.

Yes, I have...it's not a good thing...not wanting to be lonely caused me to marry, and then divorce. Don't do that to yourself....turn on the stereo, jam...dance...smile......it gets better

I think we all have. ....I get pretty lonely too, we all do.

Oh yes, oh yes I did. Young and impatient! But hey, that which does not kill us aye?

I suspect we all have, Chrissy, and all to often we find ourselves back where we started. Humans are social creatures, and we must bear the consequences of our nature.

Kind of funny how when we were kids our parents and everyone else adult told how it was supposed to be and then we learn it isn't what they told us at all...

Our dreams get that not too subtle crushing sometime around College usually...

So how about that weather 'yall?

And, btw, a good cry never hurt anyone...cry til you laugh again...it won't take long

No Hijacking this thread Andy. I need some help here.

Being lonely is a cruel feeling, you don't want to be but you don't want that feeling to make your decision for you.

I try to be happy when I'm alone and let life bring company to my little world.

Heard somewhere that loneliness is a state of mind some are really alone but do not feel lonely and other are surrounded by many people but are so lonely inside.

Kim, I'm afraid if I start, I won't ever stop.

Take some time...for you. Cry for yourself, hug yourself, take a hot bubble bath, do your hair, paint your toes, put on something sexy and dance, smile...and give yourself another hug THAT is what you do about lonely

Loneliness is a feeling that will pass. Hang in there. I know it's hard.

i'm sorry that you're lonely chrissy.

if i were closer i would give you my shoulder to cry on.

Yes you will....guaranteed! All of us have been there at least one time in or lives....you do stop...when it's time to. Sometimes, you have to look back and become angry to get there, but it does happen.

You will. It's better to let it all go. Just don't do it right before you have to go to work.

Ruth, that's great advice. Thank you.

It's hard to believe you could be lonely, Chrissy. Those guys in Virginia must have their heads up in a very dark place...

But, getting to your question. I think most of us have jumped a bit too quickly into relationships while on the rebound, ergo while lonely. Those relationships seldom last long and become lonely again even before the breakup... in my experiences.

However, that is not to mean that we sit in a vacuum waiting for a dream mate to enter into our life. We can enjoy the dating, adventuring, and yes, even the sexing, without expecting a relationship out of every encountered friendship. In the process of living life and enjoying new friendships we should begin to feel the heartstrings being tugged and the loins being stirred and we regain that feeling of falling in love then we have found a precious soul that we would not dare miss dancing through life with. BUT we will not meet that soul without taking the chance, the chance that we will meet a few non soul mates along the road to happy destiny.

Just my take...

Right now I could use that Drew. Wish you were closer too.

i have a really great one!!!!! i got married to my x husband a week and a half after knowing him. the even bigger catch is that he likes men more then i do and i like women more then he does.lol that didn't last long but i got prego a month after we got married. lessons are sometimes learned the hardest ****in way there is, a hardcore dose of life
