I've struck out enough to end the inning in a baseball game. Seems I figured that every time I "feel in love" I should get married.
Married to my third wife again now. How I ever managed to mess up my domestic life is still rather a mystery to me.
I think that after I got out of the navy, having become toxic from that, and my bloody ****ing father, I should have taken the vows and never gotten married, but gone into the priesthood or something, eh. But then I never would have had my son, the best thing I ever did for the bloody world, eh.
Some people should never marry . . . I was one of them. Think I must have used it to keep from facing myself. I always found that when I was single, my demons were stark, easier to see, not pleasant, but also easier to deal with then, eh.
But the feeling of comfort so implicit in falling in love was . . . is such a comfort. Unfortunately, the bliss is too short lived in me. Then the PTSD'd kick in an I'd go numb. |

i had one bad marriage that was anough for me. the worse thing my ex wife took my children away from me. i hope know that their adults they will look me up and fine out their mom lie i am not a monster. she cheated on me so the break up of are marriage was more than me suffing from ptsd and using alchol to cover it up my ex was and alcholic also. so both sides were at fault for the break up of are marriage. |

Married once at 23....he drank, had an affair while I was pregnant, and left me stranded. Then just a girlfriend who was actually using me for 11 years..........then several relationships, none lasting more than 2 years...........all bums and I was all the time triggered horribly.........taken advantage of my a scam artist for $8000. Had one bf trying to find his way and I had to pay for everything $16000........urghhhh, and trying to work with PTSD and Fibro the whole time.
I tell you, these guys really 'cared' about me and I gave and gave my all........I was a real caretaker. No more.........not me.
I just wish I'd given the best of me to someone who deserved it. I'm a wonderful woman, really.
I haven't given up though. I want to love and be loved and belong to someone......it is my greatest dream and I intend on making it come true, despite the baggage. |

Twice..then lived with someone. I am now going to stay alone forever...I do not think I could handle any type of relationship now at all. I still feel broken when it comes to relationships with men especially. |

Married once, divorced a year and a half later, have been a divorcee for 10 years now. I would remarry if the right man, right circumstances came about but happy as a single person right now.
