when it comes to my emotional state, I really have a pull-myself-up-by-the-bootstraps approach. Maybe it’s not always helpful to me. IDK.

I spent a lot of time learning to be happy alone after my divorce, and part of me is terrified that those old feelings of wanting coupledom are back.

Sometimes I wish I was more than human

Like Trix said, we’ve all been there and it seems that the cycles keep repeating until you just want to scream in frustration. I drastically went the opposite way after the last bad relationship. I’m 4 years single and celibate now, I pushed away all of my friends and I keep to myself and never go out. I miss a lot, but I’m also content. Besides my insane family-I son’t have any pressure or stress from anyone. I’ve learned not to feel guilty when I feel sorry for myself, you sound like a great friend and anyone is lucky to have you in their lives.

I think you have the right to be kind to yourself (at least as much as you would be to a friend or loved one)…it’s all part of the process.
