Although, in the lottery of life, I haven't got all six balls, nor even five with the bonus, i do like to think that i've been fairly fortunate. I own my own flat, I have a great job which pays well, and I have lots of good friends whom I've known for years. I even (touch wood) made a full recovery when the doctors cut a malignant tumour out of me a couple of years ago. My question is - when I've been lucky in all other parts of my life, why does my love life suck *so much*?
The current object of my affections has just dropped me like a stone four days before Valentines. My last girlfriend did the same - although at least she had the decency to do it over the phone and not via e-mail as was the case yesterday. She lived in Vienna though, so I guess it was on the cards.
The one before that broke my heart and slept with one of my best friends. The one before that gave me an std and then went psycho - or maybe it was the other way around, looking back it's hard to tell which happened first.
The one real long-term, we're-getting-married, growing-old-and-buying-a-bungalow-in-Bournemouth relationship i had pretty much ended when she copped off with my brother on the Millennium New Years Eve when I was stuck in our rented chalet with food poisoning after eating ropey pate in Chamonix (this is all true, by the way).
My first proper relationship was cruelly curtailed on Christmas Day. Again, over the phone. Again, it wasn't my decision.
Throw a dozen or so hollow one-night stands into the mix and there you have it - my sexual history.
I mean to say, what's that all about? Even factoring in the possibility that I might be unnaturally drawn to the unstable and emotional manipulators (or indeed that they might be drawn to sweet, wide-eyed little me), there's no escaping the horrendous possibility that it might be *my fault*. Maybe some people are just born without the gene that lets them co-exist with another person.

I once travelled to the South of France to be chased up a motorway by a rabid dog, to be dumped by my girlfriend of 1 year and to walk into a tent the night before I left to find her humping another man.
Nearly every girl I fancy really, really likes me; Wants to be my best friend and generally, at one point in time says: "You're just like a brother to me."
I even have them coming up to me and asking me for tips on relationships and sex.
How's that for a repetative bloody nightmare?
If love was a reason to be depressed, then I'd be seriously screwed. However, it helps to compare one's situation to other situations, just to get things into perspective.
"So...to evaluate the situation," says I usually at least 3 times a year, "You really appreciate me being such a good friend, you don't fancy me though, because you're in love with my best friend."
...Best friend can swapped with Brother, roommate, collegue, father or any number of people you'd rather not have frustrated sexual fantasies about...
"You don't want to hurt me," I usually continue, "and you know I'll meet someone in the near future..."
And then I end up saying: "Yeah. Well, I'm okay with us just being friends. It's not like I'm starving or being tortured, is it?"
See? By comparing the situation to an even worse situation, you start to feel better!!!
You don't?
Ach...don't worry about it. It only lasts 70 years or so...
I feel for you Ed, it's obvious that you are attracted to women with perhaps less brains than you and certainly less morals. Tis the way of things. I suggest you sit down and work out what it is that you are attracted to in these people and then see if there's a correlation between that and them being unfaithful/psychotic. You may find that you just need to look for different qualities in your women. What are you first attracted to?
Speaking as a guy who's really
Got it going on,
It's only natural,
It's only me.
Take it from a fella
Who's been 'round the block
So many times he's knows the only parking spot that's free.
It's only me.
You can say I've tried everything
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm not anti-social
And it's nothing that's reproachful
It's just natural,
It's only me.
I can't think of anybody else I'd rather
Spend some one on one time with,
It's not that hard to see,
It's only me.
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
I give me R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
And if your heart is broken
You can just do what you do best
You can just do what you do,
When your heart is broken
Trust in the one who loves you
Never put others above you
I thought I was using me
To get to you
But this is true.
I'm natural, it's only me.
They say you'll never love another
'Til you love yourself,
Well, brother I'm in love with everyone I see.
It's only me.
You could say I've tried every thing
I'd save on the wedding ring
Who knows me half as well as me?
I'm the me in monogamy
I'm not asking a lot of me
