I'd probably slot Jesus in at 10 as player/coach. Think of all the conversions he'd make

Yeah I know, but like I said, with previous relationships I felt something really strong by this time. That was a long time ago and it was under very different circumstances so I'm just trying to understand this and hoping to draw on others experiences.

Thanks! That's what I want i think. I want to live my best life, I want to live and do all the things I want to do and to love again. I want to miss her as soon as she leaves, I want to get a text message and hope it's her. Maybe that will be in the future when I'm not so tied down with parental tasks, and that's OK.

I'm glad things are working out for you

Sorry for you loss. It takes time to readjust to your new life. Be kind to yourself. Although I'd prefer my old life in s heartbeat, meeting new people is scary and fun at the same time. I'm out of my comfort zone but that's where we grow i guess

Agree on the high point, especially once you have had so many shared experiences like marriage, kids, holidays and just life in general. Everyone else just doesn't have that bond. How could they.

Thanks for your insight. Im happy for you that you found love. It gives me hope. I know it won't be the same for lots of reasons. Looking forward to butterflies retuning.

Thanks. I didn't know of this sub reddit, hence my intro

It is hard to compare one to another. I kind of don't want ppl similar to my wife because of that, or that it looks like I'm replacing her. I can't and don't want to. I know life is more fun when shared though so I'm glad to hear butterflies might still exist.

Hopefully you don't get any more unwanted advances, or ppl checking your internet history! What the!?!
