I have been in a dysfunctional relationship.... the only good that came out of it was my children .... and the person it made me ... or maybe not so much the person it made me .... relationships are hard .... I stayed in one for too long .... and I took too long to get into my next one .... now .... I’m reluctant to get into another one .... I feel I’m too old for the games ...One guy tried for almost a year before I agreed to a date ... and that was our first and last date.
