Thanks Bunny! I just read through the post that you linked and wow - FINALLY - someone admits the truth! Single life can hinder you in a relationship! It's one of the things that I fear and feel that many people just don't "get" that sometimes the longer you are single, the more you are "used" to be single! Generally, it's due to necessity to just survive without lonliness but yet, I truly believe it may not be good once you do find someone/get married etc.

Hairlove, I just witnessed this first hand , the man for me I believed to be the one and all that had been single and standing for ten years. He had a HARD time adjusting to being with someone , having to deal with my feelings, etc and alot of times reverted back to 'recluse' mode, its where he was most comfortable after ten years of it. Very sad, there were other issues, but I believe this to be the main one , he was 'awkward' in ways too , just how he expressed himself, nothing typical of a man knowing what to expect from a woman. it really got tiring for me and exhausting and its sad, he has no intentions on doing the work needed, its too much for him, he just went back to recluse mode.....sad

That is really sad and shows some of my own worries. I worry that I won't know how to express my feelings and that I will be awkward because I just don't "know" and at this age, I am expected to "know." Still, I pray and try to have faith (try really hard) that the person God has for me will enable these things to not be an issue. I hope that I would not give up because it is too hard. But I understand that, you're having to change your life and yourself and that seems very hard.

Thanks for sharing what happened to you.

yeah dont worry too much, I too also believe the person God has for you will love you through anything and even birth new things with you and in you

Fear not, He has just the right person for the person you are just as you are

This relationship was just not for me and was too much for me to handle in so many ways. I am at peace with that. But I DONT want you to fear/ because you know God is able to birth love and growth and bond two people together , if its his will and they both want it, there is no stopping it

hold on to your peace girl!
