[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 293782, member: 1157"] I don't think he was a jerk either, crabby. I think he was realistic. They get to "choose," we don't... very big difference. I was hurt when that happened to me, too, but I understood.. I wouldn't want to stay with someone who couldn't cope, anyway. No disrespect to some of the other commenters, but it always bothered me when people would tell me that "the right one just hasn't come along" or that he *would* come along eventually. I simply don't believe that's true for everyone. I think for many women, hearing that phrase over a period of time begins to wear on them and creates feelings of inadequacy if (when?!) he doesn't show up. I don't mean that it's wrong to wish or hope for that, but I worked hard on accepting that if he didn't, I'd be ok. He still hasn't, and I'm still ok with that :) I think the answer is, hopefully one day you will meet that guy, but if you don't, you'll still be ok ... surround yourself with loving friends and your life will still be complete. If one of those friendships happens to take fire, all the better :) [/QUOTE]
