32 years old and dated for the first time
I dated a woman for 3 months and my feelings for her became stronger over time and I ended up being incredibly emotionally attached. She had told me in the beginning that she had a rough past that affected her feelings of romance and wasn’t sure if she would ever be able for a relationship without taking therapy. But since this was the first time that I felt a woman enjoyed my company I thought I could handle waiting for her without getting too emotionally involved. She just started a new job and had a new apartment with longtime friends that have supported her since her rough past and I felt bad asking for her time. I had to break it off with her because she wasn’t on the same emotional level that I was and I didn’t want my feelings to affect the success of the new things in her life. But I wish we could have worked out because when we were together I had never felt that kind of happiness before.
