this is pretty sad im 20 i think i am single by choice i just cant be bothered with all the arguing and stuff. i had a girlfriend for 3 years and it went pretty bad pretty quick. i was a dick but when i realized she was long gone. hey least i got to say sorry she's still a m8. now i find myself not trying to talk to women much and prefer to keep to myself.

Stephen, in fear of sounding patronising, which i dont mean to be, i promise....you are now 20, you've already gotten out the other end of a 3 years relationship...blimey, you are just a babe, you have your whole life ahead of you! You started out young, give yourself a break, dont beat yourself up. If taking a step back right now works for you, thats fine. One day you will meet someone new who will give you the confidence to give it another shot.
(shuffles back to her rocking chair...).

Well, i am glad that i was 'single by choice' because after several good chats with my ex we've decided to give it (yet another) go. That wouldnt have happened if either of us had gotten into a new relationship...hopefully this time it will work out as we are both getting therapy singley and jointly and actually addressing our own issues.
