Hey everyone! I don't post on here super often, but I've been laid up for a week now and I'm going a little crazy. Total cabin fever.

I used to see forums like this on the internet back home, and I thought it might be kind of fun here too, so I thought I'd give it a try, because reading those forums was always a lot of fun.

So, Crowd-Sourced Relationship Advice!

I turned on anonymous posting on here, so you can make a fake username and submit a description of a problem that you're having in your relationships, either romantic or at work or whatever, and other anonymous people can give you advice!

Or you can stay logged in on your real account. Up to you!

Yeah, I feel you there.

Sometimes only time will help. Meeting other people gets your mind off of it, too.
I was lucky, in a strange sort of way. I met someone special. Though that came with a bit of guilt attached, but I'm dealing with that.

Yes, I understand the guilt. I meet people, but I compare them to her. It's not fair on them, but they never seem to measure up.

[winscenario]

Well, that's your first mistake. You shouldn't be comparing them to her, but finding what is special and unique about them, and appreciating those features instead.

It's neither fair nor realistic to expect anyone to be like someone else. Even if you miss them.

[worldsaway]

Trust me, I know it's unfair. I really don't mean to do it, it just sort of

Creeps in.

I suppose.

[winscenario]

Seems to me like a sign that you're just not over her yet.
Nothing wrong with that, obviously. We each have our process. Most people take a while to get over someone, from what I understand. And the more important they were, the longer it takes.

[worldsaway]

If things continue as they are, time is something I'll always have plenty of.

Thank you for walking me through it. I know I can be difficult.

[winscenario]

Not at all. You seem like a pretty reasonable guy, for what it's worth. I hope you do manage to work things out.
