At the time I was desperate to have someone that I could talk to. I took you as someone I could talk to, and I don't regret it at all. It was one of the best decisions I made. I was having some marital issues even then, as well as the marriage was taking it's toll on me. It was making me mentally unstable. Talking to you really helped me get through some of it. But years later. It all got worse. After filing for divorce and it becoming final and moving on in life. I'm stronger mentally and emotionally now. I realize now that I really was with a manipulative and toxic woman that just used me up. However, what worries me now is. I don't know if I have the strength to be in a relationship. Sure, I'd love to be with someone. But after awhile, it seems like every woman I've been with just wears me down eventually and the relationship just goes downhill from there.

You see, that's just the thing. You mention you were a bitter person, but none of us think that you were (presuming everyone agrees). Years into this board and I haven't seen you being toxic. In fact, instead of lashing out, you reached out. It just the way how people handle themselves. Some may be nice, prim and proper offline, but when they get online, they suddenly turn into trolls. It's like how a mild mannered person could turn into a road maniac when they are behind a steering wheel. Though I am guilty of that sometimes, but that usually happens when intensely provoked. This quote, which I'm not sure if it was really Keanu Reeves who said it, but it resonates with me: I can't say that it's an age thing, as I also see people who are older than me that says the damnedest things. Could it be that people now are much more opinionated, that they malign anyone who simply disagrees with them? I get how heated debates can become, but to the point of insulting?
