I won't be anybody's doormat any longer.

You know, Jan 2nd, my 2.5 year relationship ended(not my choice), and I was absolutely distraught. Seriously, during all of January and February, I felt like I was dying, I was so depressed over it's end.

Then in March, I finally joined a dating site, and met someone who's NORMAL, without a bunch of crazy, CHILDISH, neurotic character flaws. And OMFG, it's been wonderful!!! I mean even if it doesn't work out...just going out with someone who's normal. It's funny, I think I swept all of the ex's character flaws under the rug, and didn't realize how bad they were, until I started seeing someone who's normal.

It's funny, the relationship I thought I couldn't live without, was broken and irreparable, and I was too in love to see it. I'm now THANKFUL that it's over. It's so nice dating someone who's not a neurotic mess! I'm no longer walking on eggshells, toeing a line. I even fired off a nice email, saying "I hope you're well, and by the way, thanks for breaking up with me...because you really did me a favor(and I did throw in a little jab about how great it was to meet someone who's normal)".

Anyway, my point is, that there are good people out there, you just have to keep looking!

I brought my phone and its charger in case I was gonna be there for an overnight stay. A man sitting next to me saw my charger and told me he has the same phone as me and his phone was almost out of power, could he borrow mine to charge it. The plug was in between our chairs and it was the emergency room so naturally I oblidged. At one point I fell asleep in my chair and when I awoke the jerk was gone and he stole my charger.

All they ended up doing for me was giving me some anti puking pills, crackers and gingerale. I could have stayed home and been better off.I have a 24-72 hour flu bug that's making its way around the country. My sister in law has prepared me dinner and my brother is on his way over with it right now. It'll be the first solid food I've had since Thursday night.

Hope that you're starting to feel better Viv. Also, so low of that guy to steal your charger! Especially as you did him a favour and you were clearly not feeling great. Karma will catch up with him.

You have no idea how happy this makes me for you.

You're such a fantastic person with so much to offer... why waste it on someone who just doesn't get what you bring to the table?

I sincerely hope that you find it.

My mantra for the past 2-3 years has been - NO FEAR. And by that, I mean, no fear of rejection, no "what ifs", no wondering about "maybe if I'd only said something"....

All people can say is no...I'd rather have tried, and been shot down, than go to sleep wondering...(and for the record, I mean NOTHING about "hookups". I mean about finding someone real). OMG, I've finally grown up!

Thank you, my friend. The past chapter of my life will always be remembered fondly. Really. I have no hard feelings. Especially now that I recognize the finality of it all(after several breakups... I have ZERO interest in going into that trainwreck, again It's really weird, because my love is still 100%, but I now recognize the futility of the situation...).

Thanks again, Louie. You're a fantastic guy as well, and I've always appreciated your kind words.

More than you know.

So I'm back, to the velvet underground...My fever broke as I just slept for 9 solid hours. I'm slowly eating food again and actually went for a 2nd glass of almond milk when I couldn't even stand more than a few sips yesterday.

In the same situation I would lend my charger to anyone who needed it again and again. I won't let one jerk ruin the whole delicious pie.

See I'm a terrible worrier. I worry what people think, I worry about the consequences...but I hate the thought of 'what ifs.' I need to take a leaf out of your book and try and adopt a no fear approach. It's hard though.

But "no, I'm not interested", really doesn't hurt that badly. I'd rather have that twinge of pain, going to sleep that night, KNOWING that I tried, than wondering for weeks, "what if I'd only said something?".

I hope you find someone fantastic(assuming that's what you're looking for)!

Me too. Risk taking is usually a good thing.

I agree. And I've even said to them, "'no' is an acceptable answer!"

No pain, no gain.

The one thing this past relationship did for me, was show me what type of committed, monogamous relationship I want. And I'm now doing my best to follow my new rule - No one under 30!(hey, it's hard...I live in a college town, with an endless supply of 22yo's)
