A boyfriend many years ago who tried to control me. Not sure I have "forgiven" but was a long time ago so seldom think about it. And besides it made me come to my senses and realize some things about myself. He was not very happy.
Your answer floors me Ele. For starters I think you know how I feel about education and teachers. My son is a teacher. I think teaching is BY FAR the noblest profession there is. You don't go into it for the money. You shape childrens' minds in that you guide them and lead them and show them how to think critically. I don't know this personally of course because I never sat in on a class of yours but I would say you are/were a VERY GOOD teacher. So it can't be your choice of career that disappointed you. I won't poke about to find out exactly what you mean 'cause it's none of my business. I haven't purposefully hurt myself ever. Have some of the things I did/said caused me regret? Sure. But my greatest disappointment and hurt was due to another. Thank you for your reply! I'm curious but I'm not gonna badger you for more info. I detest being badgered myself so I'm not gonna do it to anyone! :)
Wow! Well I disagree absolutely. Of course the decisions I've made have been on my shoulders. The results of those I earn. BUT when someone new comes into the picture and a long-time friendship is tossed aside as so much garbage and the new replaces it? You would really take responsibility for that duplicity and disloyalty? Different strokes. Thank you for your reply Ele! >
Pearl - being married and having kids can many make very happy, but it also can many people very unhappy, either with the spouse or with the kids or with both, not to mention in-laws. Being married brings huge responsibilities, lots of work, no spare personal time - just to name a few. I hope you filled that disappointig feeling of yours with reading, traveling and upping your job etc. You understand that my post here is to make you think about it and always try to switch "HAPPY" on?. BTW - there are books on the market wo can help how to find a partner. Heck - you even might find one in the library. When a nice one ask you what books you are interested in, put on a lovely smile and look into his/her eyes and tell the truth. Maybe it works. Good luck with your future.
