Humans kiss each other to exchange pheromones cocktails which triggers powerful chemical responses in our brain (like enhanced libido).
When the cocktail is good and compatible with your brain`s chemistry, you become intoxicated and feel euphoria. That in itself is very addictive.
Once addicted to a particular cocktail of pheromones, perceptions get twarted and your pusher of pheromones becomes an idealized version of themselves. They can do no wrong, they are beautiful etc... you are "in love"
Like any other drugs, after 6 months to a year, if you can't get higher doses, the effects of said drug fade away. Your perceptions go back to normal and you see your lover as their true self. That's when most couple break up cause there was nothing more than the stupid pheromones that kept them together.
I've known these scientific facts for a few years. I've been single for the last 3 years with the firm intentions of raising my child alone and never try again my chances at love. Basically, I did not want to go tru another romantic fiasco and did not want my daughter to see me as neglecting her all the time cause I would be chasing girls. Things were working out fine. Routine, almost boring life.
2-3 months ago, I suddenly saw her at a restaurant. I was like 5 feet from her. I was instantly attracted. I returned to that spot the following day hoping to see her again. Lucky bastard that I am, she`s there. I manage to find a pretext to strike a conversation.
She has 2 kids (5-6, boy and girl)! Bingo! she wont want another kid with me (YES!)
She looks beautiful and real young so I assume she`s like 27-28.
I can only meet her every 2 weekend or so cause we live in different cities. SO we meet a for a few weekends. Get more intimate and then learn she is 21!!! She had her kids at 15 and 16 years old!!! WTF?!?!?
Fucking too late to back off now... I am already addicted to her pheromones.
For the last 2 months, can`t stop thinking about her all the time and I have a lingering sadness of not being able to live this relationship like normal lovers. I know intellectually this relationship is doomed and wont work out, ever. Yet can't stop thinking about her. Can't stop calling her back. Can't stop hoping we'll be able to spend some time together on the week-end.
Been happy 36 years without knowing she existed... somehow, I can't be happy again until she either rejects me for good (much easier to move on) or we work out our lives so we can be together more often and in the same city at least.
I've managed to stop smoking cigarettes after like 80 tries over 15 years. Was one of the hardest thing I accomplished cause I was going insane thinking of smoking a cigarette all the time. For the first month, every 5min or so the craving for a cigarette would manifest itself. Same damn phenomenon but now, about the proximity of a human.
I wish I had a simple button... the "Forget about her for good" button.
As I write this, another part of my brain is saying "Don't complain, you love your addictions. You might be suffering but your life has a meaning now! and it might just work out in the end. be patient!"
I try to be mysoginous. I am an incurable romantic.
Women should be illegal, worse than heroine!

thanks rob, that was good comments
Anyway, to the others:
I'll never proof read, not worth it for a uber post. I am not a writer, I am reader. Never been good at writing. I usually never post. Somehow, I just had time to kill at work and wanted to write this shit. A feeble attempt at easing the pain.

You were going to get some credit for this being your first post - but it would seem you have been flailing around here for a while.
I find some of what you say interesting. Clearly we are influenced by all sorts of things and tend to act in an irrational manner whilst 'in love'.
But if you want some real advice - I suspect you fail at relationships because you over think them. There are always plenty of reasons why things CAN'T work out, and if you remain hyper aware of them while you are in a relationship you are not spending enough time focusing on the things that will make it work.
You are damaged goods fella - and if you keep up this kind of pattern you will always be unhappy and alone. I say this not to be mean - its just the snap judgment of an internet nerd after reading a few poorly assembled words on a random website.

That is a mildly amusing proofreading error.

Look in the mirror and see what a failure you are.
