Yet – to be completely honest – I just don’t know that I can really have that for myself." OK, I am done crying. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable part of yourself with us. I completely relate to how you are feeling right now, albeit my scenario is a little different. I have been the best man in two friend's weddings, and I have to attend three weddings in three weeks. They are the first weddings I will attend since my ex left me a year and a half ago, and I am scared out of my mind. And for some reason, I have been on a dating tear. I definitely think there is a connection there. I have been on dates with three different guys in the past week. On one of them, I thought "get me the hell out of here." The two others caused me to feel exactly like you did with the doctor. I guess I see it as a cost/benefit analysis. Or maybe, I can keep them at arms length until I am done with them, but that would make me the person I hate. Is that normal? I crave cuddles, but not brunch. ha. “A lasting relationship, a lifelong promise to try and love, and be loved by, someone else and one day having a couple of adopted (and adorably dressed) children are on the mantel in my mind’s eye, a goal that I carry and am hungry for.
