How much are your CS friends worth?

Or the difference a year makes.

One year ago I had a 4 month relationship with a lady I met on CS. First thing she wanted was for me to delete my account and my friends. Being fairly new to dating I complied. Although we had good times problems only got worse.

Was it controlling, low self-esteem or based on previous bad experience?

Forward 1 year and I am in a new relationship with someone from CS

I have a number of lady friends on CS. We chat, skype and communicate almost daily. My partner knows who they are and is friends herself with some. She has her own male friends some of whom I know. We share the same laptop and it often lies open and un-passworded. We share the same skype account as well.


Whatever happens now or in the future I will never give up my friends.

Whatever her reasoning I think she was wrong.

If you cannot trust someone - you cannot love them - you have nothing.

sounds cool to me...
yeah , makes sence wave or they are jelous that you might have girl fiends , like I do cheering
Boban - put a shirt on (even I find that scary) rolling on the floor laughing

Virgo - would you let your girlfriend have your account passwords?

z
you`re gonna find this unbelievable but I have recently bought a suit
now if only I could get rid of my beer belly...grin
yes bob , you might have to starve yourself for a bit and do some exercise wave
virgo blues stop being the gentleman you are and share dunno

Boban - lol I would make you jealous - guinness drinker - weight has not changed since I was 16.

z
Z, I think jealousy derives from a lack of self-confidence and not much self worth. It is so sad really. Great you found a woman who doesn't feel threatened by others and sees them as competition. You hold on to her!! cheers cheering applause
I dont even drink or smoke and my weight hasn't changed in over 10 years ...145 kgs wave
Hi Fairiewitch blushing

Thought I was in the bar for a while (guy talk) cheers

Needed a womans input.

z wave
yes , the insides are close for the varnish coatings and sanding between coats yay
I`ll just buy a bigger suit...uh oh
I must admit I do have a tad bit of jealousy in me but nothing crazy like asking him for his passwords or requesting he closes his account neither would he ask the same of me .... I guess that's where "trust" comes in .... If you don't have trust you have nothing except the feelings of insecurity ... And that's not a good place to be wine
Boban forget the suit ..... Just use a tie and a pair of fancy socks ..you will look fabulous ... And don't forget to post pics wink

Thank you for your input.

Most of the ladies I speak to I met in February along with partner. So we have all know each other from the start. (skype a blogger weekend)

One I speak to - (well outside my dating range) about 3 hours a day, every day. I value her friendship.

z
So the consensus is - it is a trust issue?

I have my partners email and password - I would never look at anything of hers. (might need to use google translate) and I show her anything of interest on mine.

z
its all about trust. i joined the site 4 years ago for a laugh coz my daughters were on it but ive made great friends on it.my hubby knows im on it but never asks me bout it.sometimes if theres a really good blog i call him to show him or if theres a thread on forum hed be interested in i show him.i know even if i left laptop on with my account open he wouldnt even look at it .
My 70561 cs friends means more to me than you can ever imagine! crying

"If you cannot trust someone - you cannot love them - you have nothing."

I definitely agree with that. A healthy relationship is one who let each other grow as a person, including keeping their friend in touch or even meeting new friends.
thanks sara - nice to meet you.

Whats for breakfast? for me it;s 2 coffee's in 6 hours time - nite gals and guys................especially mary and she knows why.

z
Hi Z,

Past midnite there, good nite and have a nice rest.
glad you're in a better relationship now z bouquet
sarah................emailed you.

nite 1pm and bed

z
Thanks anything but "plain" june

My fav re-actionist................Z wave
Zand, before I even read the posts, I completely agree with you that if you cannot trust someone, you cannot love them.

When trust is broken, I will never trust that person again, same thing for lieing.

I think your previous friend was wrong. It appears to me she wanted to control who you talked to and would eventually control where you went, how you spent your money....and the list goes on. People that do that, IMO, have low self-esteem and trust issues themselves. Thankfully that's all in the past and now you have a great relationship.yay yay
z, sshhhh wink
I think regular bloggers here all have friends they would hate to lose, its just about connecting with other people thats all. The lady in question wanted to control you. Its not about jealousy , its about control. good you managed to see the light and moved on successfully. saskia
Sorry zander if a NEW boyfriend wanted passwords etc I would be thinking this f--ker does not trust me, and same on the other foot I would not expect new boyfriends details.
Trust develops over time and is certainly not instant for me.teddybear
A few questions arise. First, why did you have a relationship with a person who is jealous, while you seem to be relaxed? I think the most basic thing in a relationship is to trust and respect each other. So making a radical change in your customs was a big issue for you, but not for her, as she got what she wanted - control.
Second, how could she? That´s simple - you allowed her. So doing something stupid - deleting all friends does not make any sense. Having good friends is very important. If she had not, well now we all know why.
Your new girl seems to be more on your level - so take good care of her. The conclusions you draw are correct.
I was thinking of putting my cs friends up on ebay and see how much they're really worth..

smile
innit - she was from another country and to begin with I thought it was maybe a cultural thing.

morgan - hope they slay you - my friends are priceless.

Are you not my friend confused ok. some of my friends are priceless.

z
Well, depends! Friends are sometimes more than a bf and sometimes less! It would be wonderful to have a balance between them. I cannot choose.uh oh
SNAP MR SANDAAR ; i was in a similar situation and it aint nice, like you i met some1 from cs and was with him 7months, he was the first guy i agree to meet with cos we got on great at the time ,but he turned out to be a bad egg
he had no trust in me and tryed to play mind games and was for ever putting me down and used to go mad when he seen me on cs but it was fine for him to be on it in he,s mind , he questioned my every move and wanted me to delete my page
only that im a strong person he would have dragged me down to were he wanted me
ive been true a lot in my life to let any man put me down cos of there own insecurity ,i have a wide circle of friends both male and female and im well known and like,d from where i live and he couldnt handle that
none of my family and friends liked him from the start im just glad he showed hes true colours at the early stages for me to realise hes not for me, but he kinda put me off internet dating but not off finding mr rite, im just a lot more weary to the likes of him , im very bubbly and out going and open and honest from the start i no what its like to be hurt thats why i would never do that to any one but i get guys that go on and on about been hurt in the past like there the only one,s , but those type are really the one,s that are doing the hurting and try to make themselfs out to be d poor victims ,sorry for rattling out but i had to say lol
you two are lucky to get away from the x she sounded like a bad egg two
but it looks like you found yourself a lady and thats the tpye i want but in a male version :) so i wish you both all the happiness together take careteddybear wave
Oh sorry S...here the hugs hug hug hug teddybear
