My original intentions were to be able to have a better, deeper, more rewarding relationship with my next boyfriend. You know, good intentions pave the road to Hell. Everytime.
The relationship I got in after my 1 1/2 year "sabbatical" was one I wouldn't normally bother with - he's lazy, doesn't have a sex drive - with me or anyone else, irresponsible and disrespectful. He doesn't know how to, nor does he like to, communicate. It's just over 18 months in length and it continually fails to improve.
Today I learned that I need to get away and become stronger with and without a significant other. I must learn to remain individual within relationships...I don't want to "inherit" any bad habits.

If you can be independant and not need to have a SO, It makes you that much stronger as an individual.

I use to always think that i needed a girlfriend, Then i said to myself if i
need a girlfriend to feel complete, Then i couldn't be happy in or out of a relationship. I wanna be 100% independant and only rely on myself. I don't want to ever have to rely on anybody for anything..It makes life alittle bit harder in general, And i'm still working on it. Once i accomplish that, Then having a relationship will be something i will do when it interests me.
That's not something i learned today, But it is something that i have learned about myself.
