Was there a time in your life, when it was a "bad time" to be in love?

When it was with a girl much younger than I, who wasn’t ready for it.

When I met my first husband it was just supposed to be a fling. He was getting ready to go into the Navy. He was not the type of person I ever planned on marrying.
The hormones went nuts! I could think of nothing else. Even my work was effected as I walked around in a daze.
Granted, there was a lot of passion in that relationship. He found a way to get discharged during boot camp. (Don’t ask me how, he had several stories.)
We got married had a baby and just as passionate as our love was, so were the arguments. It turns out he was bi-polar at a time before any really medical options were available.
One particular depressive episode proved fatal.

Judi, your answer is exactly the type answer I was hoping for. Thanks, jp

Not for me. I always welcomed love.

At the time it seemed so; I was working my way out of a bad marriage. Now however it seems to have been timed perfectly, meeting the love of my life helped me find the courage to do something I should have done ten years sooner.

Yes: early twenties and 30s (depending on the person). In my opinion, I think attempting to fall in love as a young person is futile.

Yes. My first relationship post divorce and the guy was head over heels, talking about a “future” within weeks of dating. NOOOO!
Run, run, run! lol

I love being single, have been for the last 5 years, divorced for almost 9.
I’ve earned my freedom and have zero desire to comprimise even a tiny bit, for the sake of a romantic relationship.
I have no intention of ever marrying or living with a man, ever again, and friends with benefits is not my cup o’ tea, sooo, no point in dating.
I’m good, I’m better than good! lol

Any time you become involved at an emotional level with a love interest who cannot be available to you, even if that person also recipricates the affection.
