Relationship dependency

[OnyxCougar]

I am the kind of person that is *miserable* alone. For most of my adult life, I have been with a partner, my sister, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, fiance, husband, or roommate.

The brief times I was alone, I was looking to get into a relationship ASAP. And that drive got me into much worse situations than being by myself ever would have. My mother kept telling me to live alone, and I understood the words she was saying, but I just couldn't stand it. I'm one of those kinds of people that has lots of acquaintences, but few friends. My friends I'd do anything for.

As far as relationships, I'm rather dual minded. I think if you've put yourself into a committed relationship, and you aren't happy, you need to examine those reasons. If you then choose to stay, I think you should put 150% into it, do anything and everything it takes to make it work, and only give up when you know in your heart you have literally done everything possible to resolve the situation. After that, there is no option but to leave.

Or shoot em and hide the body in a mineshaft about 50 miles SE of town. But you didn't hear that from me.
