Hi, John. I’m Aiyana (i-yawn-na). Sometimes people aren’t just stressed or moody. I agree with Matt when I say that you should keep staying positive. You will have dark moments, unfortunately, but things WILL GET BETTER. I guarantee you. I’ve been single my entire life and while I never dated, I know that relationships take a WHOLE lot of work. Judging by what you wrote in a post or two, it doesn’t sound as if your girlfriend or your wife is doing her part in the relationship. Relationships are all about give and take. So if one person does all of the work, then no one is going to be anywhere. I know I sound like a love guru, even though I’ve never been in a romantic partnership, but again, things will look up for you.

Judging by your writing, you’ve made great progress. Live, laugh, love.
