I think it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The things I've struggled the most with have made me a stronger person. After the break up of my 30+year marriage I really struggled with feeling like I was very unloveable for someone to have treated me so badly. Then I had the realization that I allowed it, I struggled with that a lot. l did a lot of personal work and made incredible changes which I feel allowed me to see and be ready for Craig when we met. If I had met him earlier....
Someone recently asked me what attracted me to Craig and my answer was that from the beginning of our relationship he filled in all the gaps, it was as if our previous experiences were preparing us for each other.
In spite of the pain we've both had before, well...love has a way of breaking through. We both have, and share, fond memories of our previous marriages. Such is life, the ups and downs, including not giving up on the joy and satisfaction of love.Craig
It's wonderful to to share such joy and satisfaction with Craig. And to think I almost succumbed to the thought that I am unlovable, I'm happy my heart opened up to let the love in.
MegaDude:
It's people like you and your sweetheart that still give me a positive outlook on relationships.
Thanks! Keep the positive attitude Dude!
