Venting Right person wrong time

[Lizzie S.]

Does anyone else wish they had met someone special, earlier in their life, when they were happier? I wish I would have dated my ex earlier, I feel like we would have lived happily ever after if we had. I was longing for him all my life, but by the time we had met I was a husk of myself.

I don't know if it would have made a difference for me, but I do think if I could have done things differently in the past leading up to the point where I met my ex we would have a house and kids right now together.

Yes!!! I wished for that every day I'd been with my ex. I used to tell her to build a time machine, go back in time and tell my younger self to wait for her.

It's weird, because I'm more suicidal than I've ever been and yet I'm with probably the nicest girl of my life. The contrast between us is hilarious. I'm a majorly depressed, misanthropic slob and she's beautiful and works in a high end clothes store so is really well put together etc. I have no idea how this is even working out, it feels surreal.

I used to be romantic and make a lot of effort and such in relationships, but I don't anymore. Given that all of it backfired, I reached a point where I was burned out and didn't care very much, so I stopped trying. In that sense, part of me suspects that she wouldn't have liked the younger me anyway. Yet I'm also aware that she deserves better. But what the heck, I guess I'll just keep being me and see how far we get.

I met my 'one' at completely the wrong time. Still hurts.

Whether too early or too late...one of the worst tricks life will play on you is allowing you to meet the right person at the wrong time...

Yes.

There were a couple times.

Before I was married, I met someone whom I was close with and I could have pictured spending a long time with. But it wasn't meant to be. It just didn't happen the way it meant to.

During the time where my marriage was falling apart, I met a woman from Texas. We spoke actively. I fell deeply in love with her. I thought at first I loved her because my mind made her into some sort of manifestation or representation of something that was/was not. After pondering about this for a couple weeks, I rationalized that this was not the case. I still love her. I still think about her everyday.I think her and I had fantastic chemistry and we were capable of being vulnerable and open with each other. We vibed in a way that is rare for me to vibe with others. It didn't work because I fucked it up. I didn't mean too, but things happen. I often wonder if she thinks about me. I don't know.

I think that if her and I met under different circumstances, we would have really kicked it off. I think that the person I am today is not the person I was meant to be. I am a shell of who I truly am, and I hold no fault or blame in that. So I think that when I die, I will get to relive this life, but under the best circumstances, and I think under those circumstances, there will be key differences and those opportunities and people that I did not meet, I will meet again.

I do believe that her and I will cross paths in the future.
