Don't know how to get this message across but after exactly 4 months of me breaking up with my ex-gf, I am now seeing another person. I go into this new phase of life not having any expectations because expectations may lead to disappointment. We agreed to each other to take each day at a time and hopefully things go well and we last. She's 18 years older than I am and caucasian (i'm asian), but she does know what she wants and I do know what I want as well.

There have been kind and sometimes, very harsh advice given to me in the past and I want to thank you all for that. I do hope you guys will see that I was probably very young and heartbroken at that time. Being with this woman has now made me slightly more mature and I hope it will stay that way. Thanks you all for your advice and for..being with me through the ups and downs.

Cheers,
Kenddrick

18 years is a significant age gap. good luck.

I would seriously consider stopping this soul striptease of yours, Kenddrick.

I am very happy for you that your private situation has improved and I do hope that your luck stays unchanged.

However, if you want to talk to somebody about all this, a public internet forum is NOT the way to go. Personal messages, e-mails, phone calls with friends or, heck, even a nice face-to-face talk with a friend is much more appropriate for this kind of conversation.

You got over that person we no longer hear about (hopefully). Now get over your habit of divulging your private love-life here. You'll thank me for this advice in the long run.

Good luck to all of us!

It's therapy.

@Kendrick: My advice is that you not commit to a long-lasting relationship until you know 'Ms. Wonderful' for a few years. People often act differently when they are in love. Once that flame burns out, be ready for more heartache.

I've often though (from observation, not experience) that intimate relationships are the most complex, hard to maintain relationships. Plenty of my relatives are divorced, thanks to their selfishness and character flaws, and I've had a first class view of plenty of wrecked relationships. Any real relationship should be ready for sickness, not just health, worse, not just better. Anyway, I'm meandering, but I think you get my point. A real relationship requires selflessness, hard work and a slow temper, and a partner who is just as willing to bear with you when you are being an #$&*@! as you are for her.

Cheers.
