Dating : Has anyone else still not recovered from a dating/love burnout?
Long story short I dated two guys last year. One of them was acting extremely nice to me and I advanced too quickly and he went the opposite direction and turned into the biggest asshole I’ve ever dated. The other one prioritized drugs over me.
​
Needless to say I wasn’t a huge fan of dating after those episodes, mostly because I cared about them a lot in that time span we were together.
​
However, my parents are apparently getting divorced because my dad cheated on my mom and I don’t know – I just have a hard time seeing the point in getting with people, if you risk getting hurt or dumped/cheated on after X years like my parents. I think I’m being pessimistic about it, but so far, I just don’t seem to be interested in getting out there again.
​
Anyone else feeling the same?
I can certainly relate. I’m feeling the same way, for different circumstances in my case, but the burnt-out/frustrated feeling is the same.
It’s a strange sort of feeling where part of me doesn’t see a point in trying, but another part just doesn’t want to let me drop it and move on with my life.
I got burned out from rejection.
My girl flat out ditched me I’m looking for someone who actually gives a f**k about me and the fact I have a f**king brain tumour
I understand. I had a heart attack and my gf went distant instead of having my back. I’m not sure if/when I’ll open up enough to try again.
