Thank you! I think I’ll stick around for a while this time. I was afraid of my 40’s, but it’s not that bad. I'm aging like a fine wine, or something my 30s have been great so far. I can't help but be excited for what's coming I like to think I’m aging like a fine wine, too. However, I am still freaked out by the few gray hairs on my head and face.

Welcome back and what a nice and insightful re-intro post! I am very much looking forward to my 41st birthday which is in a couple of months. 😊 Thank you! How are you planning to celebrate 41? Well, I stopped making plans these days! I'm happy I organised a big party with many good friends last year.

Again, I wish her every ounce of happiness possible. If this is true you're a better person than me. My goal is to out live my X wife. Am I a bad person? It's only been 7 years. Ha.

It’s true. i truly care about her and want her to be happy, even if it’s not with me. It’s not always easy, and it still hurts sometimes. And you’re not a bad person for feeling the way you do. Marriage and divorce create relationship dynamics that are not relatable, so there is no way I can understand what you feel. Having said that, I want to live as long as possible, no matter what.

Welcome back dude, sorry about the relationship going belly up but as we SCI guys know too well, life has a habit of throwing you a curve ball. Weve been told worse things than 'its over' 🤷♂️
But hey, if your surviving and thriving as a SCI dude then having a relationship fail isn't the worst thing in life and something a 'together' dude can deal with. It's her loss that your wheels will find a new parking slot ...
Living as long as you can is funnily enough my main goal too 👍🏻😁

Hello, everyone! I am introducing myself, again, after a lengthy hiatus. I joined this site a little over a year ago but, soon after, I met someone and was inactive until now (I did check in on occasion). I was in a nearly year-long relationship with someone that I will forever care about, even though our relationship didn’t work out. She is amazing person who will do great things in the future, but she was ready to move on to better things 😂. Not sure anyone has experienced a situation in which your ex moves on while you keep hope, but it has been difficult for me. So, I have slowly accepted reality and feel comfortable moving on. Again, I wish her every ounce of happiness possible. Recently, I have been logging in more often and reading everyone’s thoughts. Now, I feel like I am ready to be a legitimate part of this community, listening to opinions and expressing my own opinions and experiences. I have had the good fortune of communicating with several of you and want to meet/communicate with others. Oh...about me. I’m 41 years young, though people think I’m much younger. I live in the Southeast US. I’m a C-4-5-6 quad, and I am using a mouthstick to type this. I use a power wheelchair that I can control with my hand and headrest controls (hard work at rehab help me ditch the “sip-and-puff”). I love sports (“American football,” basketball, baseball, golf, futbol and others), music, movies, TV, family, etc. I am a sucker for people who are funny and have great hearts. Definitely not ready for a relationship right now but, if I meet the right person, I would be open to a relationship in the future. I am here to be a part of this community, learn more about others and learn more about myself. if I left anything out, do not hesitate to ask. Hey man, just read your post and just had to acknowledge how relatable your recent relationship situation is to mine in a lot of ways. Accepting that someone wants to move on in their lives without you is a really really difficult thing to go through, especially when you have so much hope that it will work. I'm right there with you. Even though I'm like 15 years younger than you, I just feel like I can relate a lot to your post. Even in regards to wanting to immerse myself more in this awesome community. I also love sports and have actually aspired to make a career through sports for a really long time before becoming disabled. But I'm still trying to incorporate sport into what I do now so I'm making the most of my situation and what I'm passionate for. What are some of your favorite teams or players that you admire in the sports that you watch most?

What are some of your favorite teams or players that you admire in the sports that you watch most? Thanks for that, Manny. It’s always helpful to know that others can relate to my experiences and that I not just crazy. I have been fortunate to make sports part of my work, recently. My teams are the Braves (MLB), Panthers (NFL), Hornets (NBA), Canes (NHL), College Sports (UNC & ECU), MMA (Jon Jones), Golf (Harold Varner). You can probably get a good idea about where I’m from by my responses.
