Nature123: I think if you find someone and you both feel the same for each other you will work through every thing ealse.

Really does it matter what order the knives and forks are in when put in the draw.NO
Does it matter what way the towels are folded when they are put in the cupboard.NO

Same with relationships nothing matters except working out when you will be together again.

And that goes for long or short distances.unless of course you live together.


Nature you got me confused now....

you said originally YOU found someone but they wernt interested because of distance..

now in this post you say if BOTH are interested

did I misread your original post ?

dunno

It doesn't matter to most of us...unless of-course the person suffers from OCD, in which case, anything 'out of order' causes unbearably high anxiety in that person. They then scurry about 'restoring order' into their lives.

Not much different from some people's attitudes within relationships.
No flexibility whatsoever with the associated high anxiety level the moment there is the threat of leaving their comfort zone.

Hi rivame, original post was.
Why do people put restrictions on , so you can not contact some members who have restrictions on.a lot of them are interstate.
Should it really matter what state they are in if you are looking for a life time partner.

daggyone: Have you been to see a dr lately Merri?
You have all these road blocks placed in front of your happiness and excuses justifying them, this is sad for you


Hey ah Daggy,

Dont you go worrying your curly head about whether I have seen a dr or not...

I know what I want, and of course I have road blocks.. Jeez..

Why would I not.. ? I dont want the first person that comes along and only perhaps shares some core values. I choose my priorities, and they happen to be mighty important to me...

And as for happiness, I think we think along different lines about what makes us happy..

it will all happen as its suppose to happen, Meanwhile, I am quite content with just being me.

I wouldn't mind living around the corner from Merri or Nature or Martia or or Carl or or or even AA if it was to go and grab a coffee sometime and keep a connection with these people.

My daughter and I have moved 1,000kms from our 'comfort zones' and developed new comfort zones. Contact is at the button, 12 hour drive or 4 hours by plane (bloody parking and check-ins). Some family and friends are 10,000 - 20,000kms from home and have made the journey from the old comfort zones. And while they love where they are now, often wonder "what if....."

For me, it did take a lot to make my move and did cause me a lot of anxiety leaving my comfort zone, especially when the marriage broke down and me being in a strange place (Melbourne).rolling on the floor laughing

But seriously, Dags, when you manage to unwind your self from your dear one, spend the time to ask her what she misses about her 'home.'

Daggs its good to have a discussion about this but what gives you the right to tell Merri if she has been to see a Doctor that is quite an insult,since you have found someone you are apt to become really smug about it and that is not fair.

Looking through both Merri's and Wash's posts they are very close to their families and no matter what ever happens they know that they can rely on each other.

Thinking about this I can see both sides to the story now' and I realise that it would take someone very special for them to ever consider leaving the family unit,both of you must be very much loved. hug

Thank you Martia, for seeing it thru my eyes, and yes, Daggy is a bit ' away with the fairies ' at the moment, but I do wish him well.

Me too. And Daggy, I am glad you are with someone you want to be with and do hope it lasts. Looks very much like you are very, very happy and aim to keep it that way.

Hi merry,
Yer daggy was way out of line had no wright to say what he said. Each and every one of us has the right to live our lives the way we want to,and no one has the right to try and change some one ealse and should not judge others for the way they live their lives.I am sure one day each of us will find what we are looking for.

Hi Nature, wave

Yes, we all have the right to choose how we go about this life, and we all have different perceptions of what makes us happy... I am not cross with Daggy, clearly his ideals and mine differ, but that's OK too. wave

Life has a funny twist at times...

I would love to have relocated many years ago but didnt so that my Children wouldnt be uprooted from what they were familiar with...

then my son met a girl from overseas while she was visiting Australia. He didnt blink twice before deciding to move to be with her....

The biggest lesson I learnt from that is...follow your heart.... for nothing is written in stone and nothing is guaranteed

Life throws us some hard situations at time to time.some are easy to deal with others are not and some times we make the wrong decisions and we learn from that.

My children live their own lives except for my son,and they move to were ever they want some times over seas for 6 to 12 mths and I don't want them to go but it is their life and you only live once and if that makes them happy well I am happy.and they are the same with me.they don't want me to travel but they are happy because they know that's what I like to do.

I started this thread to find out why people put up restrictions on their profile.
My comments on this were not ment to cause upset to anyone. Wash, Merri,or daggs, and I cannot control what other people say, so sorry.

So So true yes I am a believer in following your heart. I moved to Perth 33 years ago from N.S.W and it was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. I've had my ups and downs like everyone else, but overall Perth has been kind to me and my family. thumbs up I am a strong believer in gut feeling go with it we have to try out new ideas and ways it's what makes us the people we are hug handshake grin Go with the flow yay

I understand completely where you are coming from Rivame I remember when my ex talked about going back to the UK he asked if I would go with him and I said no way could I leave our daughter and grand daughter alone in Aus as you know he went anyway.

Then when my daughter met someone she did not hesitate to move to Sydney and I was left on my own which was very hard at first for me and I never said a word as she had been to hell and back with her accident and her ex walking and father walking out and she deserved sone happiness bless her, I decided I wanted someone to love and to share my life as I had so much love still to give.

You know the rest, but when her relationship broke down she came back home... its hard sometimes(boy its hard) with two families living in a 16 square house but when this property sells we will make sure that the new place will have plenty of room or a unit so even if she doesent meet someone again they will have somewhere to live and my guy is quite happy putting his half towards that type home for all of us.(yes I am so lucky)

This is what we do' this is what being a parent is and all of you would do the same without a second thought.

Nature' this is a very good thread and often our dear Dags gets a bit big for his boots but all he needs is a swift kick up his budgie smugglers.....till the next time. laugh

Anything is possible, if you really want it bad enough....but both parties have to want it, and be willing, and make an effort.

As far as I'm concerned, there are no restrictions, other than a little seed money to start a new life wherever it may be. cowboy
