The second time I tried it was better. Still, rather than talking myself out of what I wanted I think I figured out that dating, and a relationship, isn’t at all what I want.

I’m still smarting from the last relationship. There was love there, but unfortunately, so many other incompatibilities that we just couldn’t make it work.

I want the kind of easy my marriage was, but not right now. I just don’t think that kind of lightning strikes twice.
