gobsmacked, but not in a good way

I just found something out about a couple people I care about that -well, let's just say it probably won't lead to anything good. I can't really talk more about it. I'm trying to wrap my mind around the new alignment of the situation.

I just don't understand people, you know that? I think the reason I'm still single is that at some point in my life, I saw all my friends in really messy horrible relationships and I just decided that it was to exhausting and frustrating and sad-making to try to build a life with someone, just to see things likely fall apart. That I'm happier by myself than trying to cope with another person. And without giving too much more away, today's new situation just reinforces that.

I'm glad to hear Wendy (the source of the word "gobsmacked") had a good birthday.
