Relationships are OVERRATED!

[RakiaTaylor]

I have been a GF, side piece(not proud of it), Wife, homie/lover/friend.....I am exhausted from relationships of all kinds!

So, I just carry on however I see fit and that which makes me feel fulfilled in life.....as long as it doesnt put my life at risk.  One thing is for sure, and that is I am NEVER getting married again! Lol!

No marriage for me too. I will be one to grow old, alone, and happy.

I have been married now for 10 and half years for the most part it has been great! But here lately I have been fustrated with him.  It seems he is frustrated or jealous of my son which he helped raised so I don't understand? He has been picking on everything he does.  My son will be 21 at the end of the year, yes he and his girlfriend lives with us but he completely supports himself and his girlfriend and she is in college.  He also helps us sometimes with our bills or stuff we may need (not all the time but sometimes) I just wish they would get along so I don't understand it.  Does anyone have any advice?  I mean I have to take care of his twin brother off and on for years and he is a grown man and I don't see the difference so I don't know what to do I know I can't handle it.

I have been married for almost 23 years.  I love my husband very much.  He is my best friend and soul mate.  All relationships go thru hard times,  but if you truly love someone the relationship will survive thru all things.

RELATIONSHIP IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. IF YOU MAKE IT BAD IT WILL BE BAD. IF YOU MAKE IT GOOD IT WILL BE GOOD.

When I was younger I thought that I could live with or without a relationship.  As I am getting older and watching my friends getting older I realize that those of us who have stuck with relationships are much happier. My friends who are alone are sad that they didn't work harder at the relationships they had when they had them.  Things look different depending on where you are standing in your life. My word to the wise would be to realize as you get older you may feel differently about having someone to share your life.

There is a saying and I'm not sure how it goes but here's the gist of it. "You can life without love, and when you least expect it someone will walk into your life that you'll fall head over heals for" I know it's true for me, because I said the same thing. No marriage for I'm going to be a lone wolf the rest of my life, I didn't want to be hurt again like I always was. However without realizing it I meet my soul mate, and we have been married for 4 years. I know it's not as long as most marriages, but if you know what my husband and I have to deal with on a daily bases you'll realize that's a long time.
