@Peaches McPhee, your comment made me realize that although I had originally glanced toward these 2 men talking, I had no interest in even seeing what he looked like. I guess I should have been curious about what on earth would make someone who sounded so awful look so great to several women? Goes to show you that looks just aren't everything. I've seen beautiful people from afar & thought they were breathtakingly gorgeous, until I got to know them better & they lost all sense of attractiveness to my eyes, because of their awful personalities. The reverse has been true, as well.

@Puppy Lips, I've had times in my life that were painfully, heartwrenchingly lonely, so I can understand the fear of facing that type of loneliess in some people. But I've also spent time with mean-spirited non-nurturing people, & I would rather be alone than have someone suck the life out of my very soul like that again. I hope I never have to live through either one of those situations again, however! Once was more than enough.

@Peaches McPhee, I thought that, too. Let's hope that doesn't happen until he can become a better person.

Thanks for your story and especially for sharing this quote!

"When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." - Khalil Gibran

Sounds like some of "the people of Walmart" are employees.

I have never felt lonely on my own, but I have felt very lonely inside a bad relationship. I've been widowed for going on eight years, and there have been times I've missed Mr. Awesome greatly, but I've never felt lonely. I've been on many, many dates where I wished I was home, alone, with my puppy!

Ya know, the opposite of love isn't hate - it's indifference.

A blissful state where there's a lack of concern, and the 'ex-whatever' is no longer important in your life.

No more negative energy nor bad vibes...

No matter what, never date a married man (or woman) or one that is almost not married!
