Last time I wrote about my fantastic GF, but even someone that excellent is not enough. My GF could never be enough. She is not the problem. I am. I still have trauma from a lifetime of experiences, especially from a dissolved marriage. There is nothing my GF can do to remedy that. My GF can sweeten or sour the journey but cannot “fix” me.
