Open Question: What would you do, fellow yahoo'ers?

5 January 2009, 9:57 pm

The last boyfriend I had was Jr., and throughout the year I got over him, focused on school and work, partied, slept like a bear, and did all things I wanted to do. You see, when I was with him, we were an almost husband/wife. I thought I wanted to get married and have the kids right away, but when he mentioned during one of those wonderful, lingering talks that I was his "last-shot at happiness", I was not amused, needless to say. The more I thought about it, the more it came down to I didn't want to get married just yet: I'm 26, finishing school, and finding life out on my own. Don't get me wrong, I loved being with him. We had so much fun together that nowadays I still laugh at how stupid we used to be. He did funny impersonations, and sang cheesy songs to me, and I did movie quotes on end until he told me to shut up. Our emotional compatibility, though, wasn't in the stars. We have an eight year difference between us. I figured he was ready to start a settle down life because he's 34, a good career, financial stability, and not so much drama. But here I am 26, way over in debt, barely in my second year of school, and though I would love to settle down with someone...I'm just not there yet. So my problem, my friends, is that there are times when I still think of him. I haven't had anyone since him, because, well, I'm not the greatest with guys. I'm usually the "friend", and I've accepted it. So I just left dating out of my life, but when things got lonely, I would think of Jr., his arms, his great cologne smell, and would just want to call him up to see if he wanted to get together. It's been over a year now... what do I do? Thanks, my yahoo'ers. I don't understand. Why... why wouldn't you WANT that? I... I mean... that sounded like a wonderful relationship that you gave up on! I still don't understand what went wrong. All I know is that it was definitely on your end. You're 26. You're not THAT young. Rolly, are you f*cking kidding? Do you honestly believe every woman wants to get married and have kids right away? Did I say I was losing my youth, you stupid girl? I know this was on my end, again, you stupid girl. So think really f*cking hard before another stupid answer comes out of your mouth.... Read More »
