I don’t comment or post often but almost all of them have been in threads similar to this one. I used to have more posts about this but they’ve been deleted by mods because I shared too much info about myself, obviously it wasn’t on purpose.
In my life, I’ve only had 4 long term relationships and 3 were with women in the business. 2 of them were healthy and loving relationships and of those 2 1 could’ve been my forever if I wasn’t a coward.
Sadly, in that case,she met me at a time in our lives that saw me just starting to get my professional and academic life back in order, after years of bohemian living, travelling the world, not working and overdoing every pleasure that was available to a single, boyish young adult (This was all right before and during COVID as well).
On the other side of the spectrum, she was finally where she wanted to be in her career and thinking about starting a family. I was 22-23 during that time and she was 28 when we met.
She asked me to move to Europe with her when she got a job offer, after almost 2 years of seeing each other, but I got scared since I had just spent almost 3 years bumming around and I wasn't even halfway done with my studies.
Before these women, I had never seen an SP until they told me what they did for work (we met at a friend's party and I became close with a group of SPs). I only started after my last relationship, which was the 1 toxic relationship I’ve had in my life. That girl broke me, and for a bit, I went off the deep end until I started seeing a shrink in January.
This is something I'm trying to figure out with therapy, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to go back to regular dating since I practically never dated before that (fwb or tinder type stuff doesn't count tbh) and haven't since either. I've noticed that this also correlates with that group of girls moving on with their lives or just moving away, and in doing so, I've had no one who can relate to that type of marginality, so to speak.
