Successful relationships in-game/IRL?

[Renalt]

Humanity is evil. Never doubt this for a second.

Any time I've attempted anything serious with anyone online though it's ended really, really badly. Granted my single long term relationship of slightly over a year in real life also ended really, really bad too.

You probably shouldn't look too deeply into my opinion though.

I'm sorry you have had a rough time. Take this time to kinda work on yourself. I think a relationship works best when you love yourself and where you are at and then they ADD to that joy. They should never be the one and only reason you feel like life is good.

I've only really dated 2 people and that 2nd one I wouldn't really count cause I was just feeling kinda broken after the end of the first one. Once I took some time to really think about why it ended I saw that I was a major reason why it failed. I needed to grow up. It was so easy to blame her but I was the issue. We were together for 6 years and that's a long time for someone in their teens to their 20s. People change a lot during that time...and I did change a lot and not for the better. She saw that and as much as it hurt her to do so she had to let me go.

Since that time I've matured greatly. I love who I am and life is really good. I think taking some time away from trying to be in a relationship and just self improve would do wonders for your outlook on people and relationships. Once you are the best version of yourself you'll find you'll attract people without even trying because people can just sense stability and maturity with how people just react to things.

I'm not going to disregard this because I'm absolutely not perfect but... the guy irl was slightly over 10 years older than me and he ended up being a massive, massive asshole. My mistake for dating him, but not my mistake for what he did.

And many of the guys online(including the one I did meet irl) were... kind of awful in the long run. I swear I'm not trying to point fingers and play the blame game here but when someone has a complete melt down and throws a tantrum which ends up in them threatening you(all over not answering them for an hour while you're in class and you've been with them for a few weeks so they know your schedule), then I'm going to say it's safe to say that it wasn't exactly my problem.

But I'm not the expert here. I'll let you decide c:

No, their advice was very good and I think most people could learn from it.

Relationships fallouts aren't always your "fault" but are always an opportunity to learn and grow from.

Also your outlook on humanity isn't from a very healthy place - once you learn to love yourself you'll attract people who will change your outlook!
