Ex-SO thinks I'm the most logical person to take his child if he and BM die
:jawdrop: WTF?
I got a call from my ex the other day. We have this half-assed friendship thing going on where we talk occasionally until he starts acting like his old self and I remember why I stopped bothering trying to be friends with him in the first place.
I'd rather be alone than date a single parent. 100% true now.
As time goes on, the more comfortable I get being single... the more I'm wondering if I'm not getting TOO comfortable being single. LOL.
It took me a long time to get here... I left ex-SO almost a year and a half ago, and I've been second-guessing myself and back and forth ever since. Right before Christmas I decided to give it another go, 100% this time. Came to the same conclusion. Since then, I've been out dating casually, and it was fun at first, but... the more online dates I go on, the more it's making me appreciate being alone, I swear.
Looking for recommendations for post-breakup books, books about being alone, etc.
I've kind of come to realize over the past year that my self-esteem has been at an all-time low since my breakup with ex-SO. I ruined the relationship after him partially due to that issue and partially due to the fact that I jumped into it way too soon. I've been doing online dating for the past couple months and I don't think that has helped either. It's not just the men, though dealing with people on there gets exhausting and depressing sometimes.
Ex-SO advocates accepting sh*tty situations just in case you die tomorrow... WOW.
After I ended things with ex-SO again yesterday, he seemed okay with it but then I started getting hit with the usual text messages all afternoon. He said that the way he got over his stupidity about the situation before (when HE was never happy with his own life and making the rest of us miserable) was that, after I left, every day he thought that if that day was his last day, how would he want to spend it, and with whom. I understand what he's saying, because that is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I decided to get back together with him and try yet again.
is it the small things, or the big issues, that make these situations unbearable?
Well, I called things off with ex-SO... again. I tried again for two whole months this time - that's the longest I've "tried" in the year since we broke up. Every time before, I would come back and freak out and leave after a week or two. I think two months is a fair shot.

I just read something in the forums that blew my mind and wanted to share it.
Childless and being made to feel guilty because I want friends and a life. Am I being selfish here?
I recently decided to try and work things out with my ex, who is a single dad. I moved for a job after we broke up, so we live about an hour apart. I live in an exciting new city that I love, with lots to do. He lives in Snoozetown where there is nothing to do and we can't do much anyway with a six year-old.
