Kevin asked:

You know it is one of those wonderful times again when a relationship ends and you take stock of yourself and where you’re going. Here’s the odd thing I noticed today while going through this phase again…I am horrible at relationships! It’s the truth…I’ve got it down to a calendar pattern now. I’ll meet someone new here in a month or so…we’ll do the holiday’s have an awesome spring and then by the end of summer/beginning of fall it will end. Please, if anyone out there has found themselves in this pattern and seen slim to marginal personal growth; let me know your story.

Most of my relationships tend to start in March and end around July or August. Its a pattern and I dont like it much. Makes the holidays hard ofcourse when family members question or feel sorry for ya. I dunno crazy stuff. If anyone has an answer thanks much.
