    Good post Willy Up, your post rings a few bells with my past, I too have been attacked by a girlfriend with a kitchen knife, stalked and had a girl throw herself out of a moving car (apparently to stop me splitting up with her), and the same as you not because i'm some kind of shit.
    However, with age I think you begin to be a lot more selective about relationships rather than closing it off completely.
    In the mean time there are the beautiful women on here (mind I haven't met LC yet)
    Come in she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm "

    @ Banjo - Theres a lot of sense in what you have said.
    Partly I suppose the reason I posted it is because all my friends have fallen into the social trap you talked about and when I have raised the subject I get the old "plenty more fish in the sea" speech.
    Also I feel there are some kindred spirits on this site both male and female and was interested to hear what people would have to say good or bad.
    Also its kind of theraputic to put these things in writing.

    The Matrix comes to mind. Most of us live our lives oblivious to the fact that we're just falling in line with what our parents did and what society deems acceptable.

    The lucky few have realised The Matrix exists and that in itself is an enlightenment, even if you never did anything about it.

    I haven't even started yet .... believe it or not !!

    I agree. To be honest I never worry too much about someone who says they're off women/men for life. Because if one comes along and they make enough of an impression on you, all bets are off. You'll be away again with gusto !

    You could just be incredibly unlucky. Or maybe you simply have terrible taste in women. You might get lucky with number 7, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    “I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make one quite giddy!”
    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    Dont know, I've lost and suffered too much to women.
    I will point out though that I dont hate women at all, just in case anyone gets that impression.

    I think its obvious to all that you love women Willyup. (You've been with enough for goodness sake!) Its just that you have been burned badly, and your reaction is fully reasonable.

    I agree that putting it in writing helps clear the head and also helps you think things through. Best of luck Willyup. I have every faith in you, that you will acheive some sort of equilibrium. You are a good lad, and deserve to be happy.

    I found just like some escorts can tell a bad punter straight off, you can start to spot the fruitcakes 9and the good ones) alot easier and quicker and your experience tells you to walk away straight off ,as once I might of hung around to see how the relationship developed

    Well she came back on the scene a few days ago with all sorts of ranting and raving but I have not heard from her for a couple of days now so she is gone again for the moment I think.

    This set me off reflecting on all the women I've dated over the years. Leaving aside the short-term ones of a few months or whatever I have had six long-term relationships and of those 4 were with women that were borderline certifiable.
    Without going into the individual details I've had a hot cup of tea poured over my head, been hit with a shovel, had a carving knife waved at my face and stuck into the bottom of my chin, had my car vandalized, been followed, been threatened by brothers/fathers/friends/exboyfriends, been phoned up to 30 times a day, had a woman standing on lawn staring at the house in the small hours of the morning and more.

    Then there was the woman I married. All was fine for 5 years and then she started slowly but surely bleeding the life out of me, filed for divorce, told a pack of lies that led to her getting almost everything I had. All I had left was the clothes on my back a job and a friend prepared to let me stay at his house.

    What did I do to deserve all of that? Must be something terrible right?
    Wrong!! I have never been anything but respectful, generous and faithful to any woman I have been in a relationship with.
    I have decided that perhaps I must be some sort of walkover but no more.

    The events of the last week have convinced me that getting into a relationship with a woman again is a worthless and pointless exercise and I have no intention of doing it again.

    The fine women of EI and the clubs and ladies I go to and see in England and elsewhere will be give me all the female company I need.
    There is no point putting myself through the stress, anguish, loss and degradation of being slowly withered into nothing by another phsycotic partner intent on raping me of my self-respect and worldly goods.

    There's just no point.
    An Irish man once told me Dublin use to be called ''an open air insane asylum'', if that's any help
