So, I just got off the phone with my most recent ex-girlfriend. We talked for about an hour about life, how things are going and such, and it occurred to me. If she would have had some of the realizations about life that she's having right now, things may have worked out between us. As it stands, her ex-husband and her are getting back together, which is great. Her kids are exited, and she sounds like she's finally pulling her life back together. I am truly happy for her.

But another weird thing occured to me while we were talking. This always happens to me. I spend months in a dead-end relationship with no future trying to help out here and there, just throw in my two cents when the moment is right, and give some guidance. Then a month after the breakup they end up doing all the things I was trying to encourage while we were dating and their life seems to right itself. Seems a very peculiar phenomenon. She even told me about some habits of mine that she now understands from her new perspective and how much better off she is now.

Even though I'll probably be lonely for the rest of my life I guess I can take some comfort in the fact that people's lives seem to change for the better after knowing me. Thoughts? Anyone else seem to be stuck in this scenario?
