Is to swear off men! At least for this year! lol (That was my new year's resolution... to remain single this year!)

I'm about to be 28, and I'm so tired of all these "men" not knowing how to deal or even understand what I'm going through... I'm not asking for much.... but they expect so much of me that I cant do/provide.

I had a great relationship...the only guy I ever thought I would want to spend my life with.... after five years... left me at my lowest point of my life. (Think I called him when I was at the doctors saying I didnt feel well... then I had to be rushed to the ER from the doctor's office...and because they thought I was having a heart attack, they would not allow me to use my phone because of all the heart monitors and machine.... then when I finally get a hold of him the next day.. he calls me an 'effing liar." Sweet eh?)

Since then I jumped from relationships to relationships... never truly happy... and maybe now I'm starting to think and believe I have to deal with this myself and accept myself totally before getting into any more relationships?

I HATE MEN.... :lol:

I'd go so far as to say there can't be a healthy relationship, unless each is capable of living independently in the broadest sense of the word. Of course illness makes us more dependent in practical terms often depriving us of options.

Lupus also brings out the best and the worst in people including the patients.
If the relationship is already rocky before there's been any long term commitment it will not improve with any additional strains.
