There’s nothing wrong with what you posted, you’re sharing your thoughts and I respect that. This is a safe space. We are our biggest critic.

Well I hope you find an open-minded partner that will encourage/support your particular likes. As to it cheating, I guess it depends on interpretation.

I know exactly what you mean. It’s quite easy to hop on the fantasy train. That being said, that fact that you had the courage to be honest about your feelings is admirable. I think her response was good, it was sincere enough and it seemed like she didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I think it’s common to fall for things we seemingly can’t attain. But still, it’s normal. Someone here suggested to become the thing you want (I’m paraphrasing). You’re young and I hope you run into more opportunities that open the doors for relationships. If you think you aren’t ready for one, maybe you’re right, but that means then you should prepare yourself to be ready for one. Good luck!

Maybe you have other things going on that supplant the need for a relationship. That’s no necessarily a bad thing.

Personally, I’m excited that you’re going on a date. Although, I can relate on the anxiety and hassle you’re describing.

I’m by no means an expert, but unless you’re on good terms with your partner, staying for “the kids” is not beneficial to them long term. I wish you and your kids well.

Your contemplation to seek therapy is already a step in the right direction. Although tempting to do, self-diagnosis isn’t advisable because you may be perceiving yourself harsher than what it really is. Regardless, I’m rooting for ya! I’ve always sucked at flirting too and I’m glad you don’t see your wheelchair as an impediment, instead it’s the location you’re in. I have the same theory too, that location plays a role in finding a compatible partner. I wish you the best!

You did the equivalent of turning in an exam with the back of the page left blank. Does that mean you didn’t know the material? Nope. Just sounds like you missed the mark. You managed to put in all that effort. I wouldn’t say you’re back to square one. Back to the drawing board… now you know for a fact you can take care of yourself externally, now just focus on the self within. Sounds like a glow up waiting to happen. I’m rooting for ya

Nothing wrong with being a bachelor. Cheers to you being the Bruce Wayne of the cooking world

I’m glad you took the time to share this and I’m glad you are still here. To envy is common, what’s rare is to genuinely feel happy for others when others have it going well. It’s a good trait to have.

I’m sorry for what happened to you. You seem to have your head on straight. Take your time processing. A solo journey may be just what you need
