Yes. Wrong place, wrong time, would have hurt too many other people (including children).

The year was 1966. I am white, she was African American (called "Black" back then). We had met and dated in college, but that wasn't the "real" world. In the real world, there were only 3 establishments in all of Chicago that would let us in the door. Families were really nasty to us. Our love was not strong enough to withstand all of that. We parted with a promise that we would work to try to change the world so that if our kids ever met and fell in love, they could be together. - - Fast foreward to 1985, I ran into her at a street fair. We introduced our families, had a cold drink or two with them. Our kids ran off and danced together. We laughed and had a great time. Didn't see them again bec they lived in another part of US and were just home for a visit.

I was with my boyfriend for 5 years, I truly loved him! But I knew we would never get anywhere in life, that together we would never accomplish anything. All he was really interested in was drugs, alcohol and having a good time. I didn't want to end it, but I knew I couldn't live my life like that. Took some time to get over him, but eventually I did!

Ha.. I am in this situation with a man who is older and his two kids and was married once and does not have an interest in doing it all over again. I am only 22 so I want a family one day but not anytime soon so I enjoy dating him for now. But I want more..naturally.. I am so confused. Sometimes I wonder if he is just afraid of getting hurt again. I have really strong feelings for him and don't have an interest in ending it. I don't know... everyone's situation is different..

Yep, sure have. And why couldn't we be together? Because we were too different, and what he wanted and I wanted wasn't even remotely the same thing. What did we do? He ended the relationship because he wanted things his way.

Yes, lived different lives and lived in distant places.
Amazingly, she's more different than I initially thought and it's obviously a blessing we didn't walk the same path.
Move on, there's someone out there for you.
