Ball ‘N Chain

I was thinking about all my past relationships and that got me thinking… since 1993 I’ve pretty much been in one.

In Jr. High I had my first serious boyfriend (Robert) and we went out for 1 ½ years. Right after that relationship I jumped into another one with Jeff and we lasted a little over a year. Then I was single for a couple months and started dating my best friend, Paul, and we went out for 8 years. I took a year break of nothing serious, just fun, short-lived dates…about 3-4 of those. Then I met roommie and we have been off and on for the last 3 years. Wow, it’s like my whole life I’ve had a significant other. I think after roommie moves out, I am going to be single for awhile and just get to know me without a significant other.

I don’t know why, but I am really taken back by this! No wonder my entire family thought I would be the first sister to get married.

I had one BF in 8th grade for about 6 months. Another BF in 9th grade for 9 months. Then I dated no one but my future husband for the next 4 years. Was married to him for 8.5 years. Got a divorce. Freaked out. Dated Bat for the past 15 months. Still freak out some days.

I have no idea what it would be like to NOT have an S.O. Keep me posted.

It will be totally new to me, so let's see how long I last.

There's a sense of euphoria involved when you come out of a bad relationship. There's nothing like knowing that no one has the power to drag YOU down. Finally. I have many early blog posts about this feeling.

Can't wait for that euphoric feeling to kick in!
