Thinker, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I think you are right. And I have taken a lot of time off between relationships.. I have tried to get in look inside myself but still haven't found a good answer other than being aware of family/childhood issues. But I don't want to dwell on the past (I've been to therapists though.. not sure if it would be helpful to go again?)

You're right, sometimes it's easy to beat myself up over losing no-win scenarios. I do believe the right person will show up in my life... but it's hard to keep the faith on a daily basis... after years of waiting.

Anyway, thanks for your support By the way, I love that quote from Corinthians.
