Are We In a Relationship?

So, it's been over a year since this was updated.

I guess you've moved on @Almantas or is she lingering in the background?

Hi Sean!

Yeah, it's been a long time. Time flies so fast... A year ago I was very weak and in a middle of a severe clinical depression. It was a moment I was looking for someone to share my pain with. It was a moment I felt very lonely and ignored by the world. Therefore, it resulted in this thread and abovementioned behaviour...

It took me almost a year to finally see a bright side of the situation and am now self-reliant and not obsessed about this girl. I literally stopped chasing her, but didn't ignore her. She is still in my life, but now she's the one asking for my time and chasing my tail. I won't lie - it feels good. But I don't see her as a girlfriend material anymore, just a friend.

I finally learned how to be happy by myself, without needing any chic to help me do that. It feels awesome!

I'm glad to hear you are in a better place.

As a middle aged married guy, I know my perspective is not going to be helpful. I'm bitter, marriage ain't what the brochure looked like. Blah, blah, blah. My "you should do __!!!" would undoubtedly be misogynistic bad advice so I'm not going to consider what it might be, much less post it. You seem to be growing and seem to be happier for it. That is powerful in itself. My only post-worthy advice is to accept "better than yesterday" if you can.
