Arlene, at the beginning of this thread, the quoted text from HE'S SCARED, SHE'S SCARED gave a long list of reasons why people are *not* unable to sustain relationships...

"If you've fallen in love with too many inappropriate people, it's not only because you have a big heart. If you've never been able to sustain a relationship for more than a year, it's not because of fluctuatiing biorhythms or transiting planets," etc.

I'm wondering if "rebelliousness" might be felicitously added to that list - viz., "If you cannot love with someone, it's not because you're a rebel"??

Then by the time I wanted someone sensible (ten years later) I met crazy!!!!

he was and still is one hell of a guy. I just can't my mind around 'forever'. I just just too sensible for me at the time.

Come now, Arlene, you can surely be a bit more forthcoming with the good doctor (do I need to bring you a stiff drink there on that couch?)? Think back...there must've been something that repelled you from him. To be frank, he sounds like one helluva guy (except for the "laid-back" bit, of course...I must confess that gives me cold chills).

Dear Dr. Jeff:

I am writing on behalf of a friend, who shall remain nameless. He states he is a normal macho, staunch heterosexual male. I have seen him in a tool belt, and he certainly outwardly appears as such. However, he has a wig collection that would be the envy of even the queen of drag queens.

What would be your diagnosis? Is he subconsciously trying to convey a message regarding an alternate sexual orientation? Could it be a subconscious attempt to avoid committment by appearing clinically insane? Or, perhaps merely an addiction to synthetic fiber? I would greatly appreciate your input.

He was good-looking and laid-back... I zee (you may have noted from my profile that I am not a big fan of being "laid-back")

So what didn't appeal to you about him during your courtship?

Oh, no, my dear Arlene, this isn't going to be quite that easy. I need more information. Let's start with that first
..I mean, husband.

How did you get involved with him, what was his story, and what attracted you to him in the first place??

Oh, no, my dear Arlene, this isn't going to be quite that easy. I need more information. Let's start with that first
..I mean, husband.

How did you get involved with him, what was his story, and what attracted you to him in the first place??

I now---I can't wait to hear the diagnosis.

Well, Arlene...first, stretch out on my King-sized couch and make yourself comfortable...okay, comfy?

Now, let's start when you were a child, and your mommy used to make you dress up in old moldy wedding gowns dragged down from the attic...?

Okay, not ringing any bells? Okay, then let's start with your weddings. What in the world happened to you in them that was so traumatic, my dear?

Don't wory, Ikt, this thread will heat up like a wildfire when you're least prepared for it!

I can just feel it...it's just a matter of time...a relationship discussion that will make gotterdammerung seem like a drunken stroll in a kiddie park...

My grand daughter signs and my daughter is teaching my grandson now, he is 3 months old. She believes it lets them articulate before their words arrive so they dont get frustrated.

I can swear in quite a few languages .........

A prison of his own device...or did you mean literally, Joanie??

you fecking woman hater you!!!!!

I went menopausal at 31 after 7 pregnancies in just over 5 years. (I lost 4 babies at 6 months pregnant each time). I was depleted of oestrogen, and had the symptoms reversed over the next two years with HRT.

I was fine until I reached 47 and I went for real this time. Couldn't stand the symptoms, hot flashes ever 30 seconds, no sleep, mood swings, sore, and got all the associated illnesses including fybromyalgia and arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid). I was almost paralysed with it. I had tests done again and found that it was a complete absence of oestrogen and was given oestrogen replacement this time and have never had a symptom since. I am 54 now and feel 30 and my body has no signs of menopausal asociated symptoms at all now.

There are different routes for different people and there are just so many different ways to get relief. I find there is no point in suffering if you can find a solution that keeps you active and healthy.
