This is kinda a quiet group so I thought I'd try to get the conversation going.

What won't you do/or put up with in your next relationship?

I'd never again...

date a pessimist

    I'd never again.. date someone who didn't appreciate my sense of humor. It's witty and completely genious at a moments notice.

    date someone with a mental health issue

    Seems mean to say that, but my last two relationships were with a guy that was obsessive, compulsive, high anxiety and paranoia and a guy with borderline personality. I just can't do it anymore, it didn`t turned out well in either relationships. I believe in the best of people, but I can`t give no more on that side. Verbal abuse, dealing with their crisis (paranoia attacks being the worst) and always being the bad person because I don`t want to follow their crazy ideas.

    And that's why i`m still single after 1.5 year, I needed a break.

    This.

    Single 3 1/2 years. Last one was insane...not even saying that lightly. And after I left him he even tried to commit suicide thinking it would make me come running back.

    I was so beaten down and broken by the time we were done. Long road back. This is my new journey...path least taken in the past...back to me.

    Be someone that I'm not. I like who I am. I'm a perfectly flawed man with a rapier wit and lust for living. I will travel the world and do the things that make ME happy. I dedicated 21 years to my children. I wouldn't allow them to be raised with an every-other-weekend dad. And, to that end, I tolerated emotional and verbal abuse. I lived with a narcissistic sociopath. Finally, I'm breaking free. My babies are grown. My job is done. It's time for me to be me. Not saying I won't make sacrifices. For the ones I truly love, there's nothing I won't give/do. But I won't give and give and give and get nothing but misery in return.


    Sorry for the rant

    Be with someone who can't go 24 hours without being around me. Space much?

    the important pert of this is do things that make you happy !!



    For me too. I just want to be happy, and being happy means having someone i can share things with.. not being their mama or their banker, but just being me and getting to share life with someone else :)

    I'd never again change or suppress myself for someone else. I won't put up with abusive tendencies, physical, emotional, or mental. I'm going to be ME - flaws and all - if a man can't accept that, then he's not "the one". I've been single for 2.5 years now and I'm loving finding the "real" Bethany! She's an AMAZING person!!! Some guy is going to be a very lucky person!!!
  • I'd never again tone down my passion for things, my personality or sense of humor in order to become a more vanilla kind of person to make them happy. I am a caramel all the way lol

    Be with someone who isn't financially independent. Not to say all money matters have to always remain seperate, but I will never again be nothing more than a breathing atm for anyone.

    Never date again:
    -someone who sucks at communicating when apart
    -someone who doesn't make time for me/us
