[quote=Anonymous]It took me over 10 years of OLD to find someone and a big part of getting there was doing a lot of work on myself in therapy. Before starting therapy, I would have said that I was doing everything right and keeping an open mind because I genuinely was putting a lot of effort into it, but once I dug in more I realized that I had a lot of childhood trauma that was affecting who I was drawn to and why I was so put off by some people, in ways that I didn’t realize. Not saying this is necessarily the situation for you, but I do think we all bring some baggage from our past that affects how we view and interact with the world. Not at all trying to blame you at all…just wondering if it might be worth exploring some of that?

However, I will add that OLD truly is brutal no matter what you bring from your past. FWIW I’ve known several people who ended up in long term relationships with people they eventually married who didn’t meet until their late 30s or older. So try not to blame yourself too much - a lot of it really involves luck and sticking it out.  [/quote]
