Nerve Dating Confessions
February 11, 2:12PM I'm glad you and I are still friends, and that I let go of the anger. But I really would like to be angry again, now that I've figured out that your infidelity has turned me into a dating basket case. Every time I go out with a woman I like, I start to freak out that I can't attract or maintain her interest, and I end up seeming so desperate for affection and validation that I drive her away. You fucked me up, and I don't know how to fix myself now. CAN RELATE (11) CAN'T RELATE (0) FLAG FOR ABUSE

Here's a different take: You fucked yourself up by making the choices you did, before, during and after that relationship. Try being accountable for your choices, and their results. I know that it's popular, and far more convenient to blame someone else for your woes, while they may have had a role in the outcome, you are the director. See any self-help book, web site or counselor for details, and a better dating life. Check out the idea of fear of abandonment, and see what comes up.
