Anita, thanks for your response.  when i got divorced, i was single for 2 years or longer with no interest in dating.  And my divorce ended very well.  we are best friends now.  We just grew apart.  When i did start dating again, i dated a few different women for a month or two each before i met her.  I was attracted to her, how she talked, thought, everything.  Seriously after our first real conversation, everything just clicked and felt right.  I can’t explain it, but I knew she was the one.  I didn’t know about the drama for awhile.  And i can tell you this.  I absolutely hated it.  Still do.  Whenever her drama came up, it screwed up everything.  The reason i tried to help was to help her be done with it.  I just wanted her to be happy, instead everyday there was something and I was her venting post.  Which i was fine with but it did get old.  I wanted a relationship with her like it was.  but because of the drama, it got screwed up.  Yes, I felt Boosted with her, but I was not depressed before her.  I was very happy.  Just alone.  That’s when i decided to start dating.  She just made me feel good, when you feel good you want to do more, do better.  That’s what it was.

My Current girlfriend has drama also, which is a huge red flag for me.  Specially after dealing with my ex’s drama so much.  That is something that I plan on talking to her about.  She has kid/family/work/money issues right now.  And i don’t need that again.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I hate drama.  it sucks.  brings down the mood and situation.  I used to be a negative person years ago and i learned that when your negative, you attract negativity.  I’ve been positive and looked at the good side of things.  The last thing I want is more negativity in my life.  I just want to be happy and smile everyday..
