After a few long discussions and soul-searching by both involved parties, I am back in the dating world by mutual decision. I need someone that's emotionally available and it's become very evident that he's not at this time. I hold no ill feelings towards him, he has been my best friend for the last year and I will miss that friendship.
Regrets are not my style, and I have none over any part of this relationship (well, maybe over timing). He's been really very good for me. I know that seems odd, but honestly it's the truth.
I've learned more about myself and what I do and don't want in a relationship. I learned that it is possible for me to trust someone else, and that it's okay to need someone's help. I've found more of the me that I'd lost over the years. I've regained confidence and the ability to tell someone precisely what I want/need.
Those are valuable lessons, and will serve me well moving forward. I've shared dating advice with my boys over the last couple years, and I hope they have learned from my experiences as well. I'm hoping at the very least they've learned they can come to me for advice, help, and maybe bring me a few tips too... Women are nuts and difficult at times (I know I am anyway), but all we really want is to be appreciated for who we are. That really shouldn't be *that* difficult!
