My Parent's Divorce
It is sad to say that I am in a way traumatized by my parent's divorce. It really changed my personal life. I take relationships very seriously and I don't ever "hook up" as teens say it. I tend to over analyze everything a guy says when he trys to flirt with me. I don't like it when they flirt as though they could have me in their arms in a second. Bonding requires respect and time. Also, I don't dress to impress because I want a guy who is not so interested in looks. It doesn't mean I dress hideously, but I try not to let too much cleavage show as other girls do to attract guys. I want "them", (referring to my possible partners, one at a time of course) to really like me in order for me to allow myself to be in a long relationship. I have very strong beliefs of what love should be... I have high standards but nothing fictional...but I do believe my love is out there. It may be obvious that the event also turned me into a romantic. I am very scared of divorcing my future partner. My siblings and I have a difficult time having our father around since we all moved out with my mother. I would never want the same thing to happen to my children in the future. Yes, I know that things don't always turn out the way we plan them, but I say there is no problem in trying. Sometimes my friends think that I should let go of the seriousness of relationships and try to have fun. But I think that that fun is not the kind of fun I want.

Getting hurt can give so much emotional scars for one person, but you must believe that there are good people in the world. All you have to do is look and be open to others.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel as my parents got divorced as well. I never let my self down over it though it just inspired me to make sure i find the right person. Just remeber look at the positive sides of things, this divorce can teach you a good lesson on relationships.
ReplyDeleteReading this was like looking into the mirror for me. I come from a seperated family as well. I was 7 when my dad decided to leave myself and my siblings. I am now married with a daughter and everyday is a struggle because I don't want to end up like my parents and divorce. I want my daughter to have what I didn't have. I know that it's tough to put yourself out there, lets face it no one likes hurt or rejection. But at the same time, its okay to let your guard down a bit. You'll never know what good there is out there if you don't open up a little. Its a work in progress, I too am still dealing with it.
