I was in a 5 year relationship and found myself being cheated on for a fair amount of time on and off during the relationship. When I found out I kept my dignity and left. I didn’t need to live like that or bring children into it either.
Since then (1.5 years on) as a woman I’ve found dating really hard. Either I meet someone and I like them but for one reason or another it doesn’t work out, or I have to shut my feelings down because they’re not reciprocating so I block them out. Or I just stay away from it entirely because im
scared of liking someone in general. Of course this indicates that i am probably not ready to date. Being single is good in some ways but bad in others.
I just feel a bit confused by the dating scene and while I am getting therapy. I just wonder if others have experienced the same?
