What do you mean, when the new wears off? I was married for 36 years for crying out loud, nothing is ever perfect, we had many difficulties, worked through most of them. Never any guarantees in life, but this is one chance I am going to take, because for the first time in a very long time a man loves me and cares about me.
I am 57 and starting over just in the past two weeks. Very loving and caring man and I am so happy and relaxed when with him. But problems with trying to get my kids(all grown) to accept my boyfriend and give me their blessing. So there are many things to think about when you begin a new relationship.
Paul , I am supposed to be the wise one here and yet I have had a very difficult day, lots of tears shed and yet no answers. So my dear, here is my question. How do I get my kids and some family members to at least give Nick a chance. I am so happy when I am with him and yet all I here are these two things, you are moving way too fast Linda or Mom, if you are still with him in six months then maybe we will consider meeting him. Wonder if they know how much that breaks my heart or if they even care. Sorry hun, guess I got a little carried away.
My best wishes go out to you and your life partner. I also will be leaving CS permanetly in the very near future, for the same reasons, love found me. I will miss all the friends I have made, but now time to build a life with the man who has chosen to take my hand and continue this journey with me. Much love and happiness to you and your lady.
Many stories I could go with on this also, but would cause a lot of controversy, but I will say this. My many years as a cowboys wife , I shot, killed, skinned, cleaned, plucked, processed cooked and ate more wild meat and or beef, pork and chicken then I ever bought at the store. I still enjoy wild game if processed and cooked properly.
Abra, I do enjoy romance, but I don't crave it. If it happens, without any prompting, then it was meant to be and go for it. But if you let something such as saying you are not getting enough romance, then there is something more serious going on. Lack of communication is not a good thing in a relationship. Nick and I have been together less than 2 weeks, he has proposed, I have accepted and I am moving in. Some say that is way too fast. Difficult to explain but I know I love him and he loves me and we talk about everything. Yes we also have our cuddle up on the sofa, hold hands and just look at each other and smile time. But it is what we are both feeling at that moment.
Now I feel unhappy Now I feel so sad Now I lost the best friend that I ever had She was my woman, I loved her so But it's too late now, I've let her go
I don't know why, but I find it very difficult to delete my flowers or mails. It seems like I am saying good- bye to someone who means a great deal to me. I know, kind of crazy huh?
Laurie, Thank you so much hun. You have been a great inspiration to me and such a good friend. As I am getting ready to pack and go spend the next 2 weeks with Nick, my tears flow from knowing I am leaving behind so many wonderful friends such as you. I will try to check in at the library. Of course when I get back home this will be the first place I will go. I will be moving over there permanetely in a few short weeks and will be losing contact with most of you. That breaks my heart. I will be leaving in a couple of hours, but I want to leave these words that I posted in my friendship thread for you Laurie as you are all this and more.
To acquire a friend you must be a friend(you are a true friend) Friendship is about remembering that there is really no one else out there--- we are all one(This is how you treat us all Laurie) Friendship---Loyalty,honesty, support, openmindedness, harmlessness, and unconditional love(you fit all these categories)
You take care my dear friend and I will try to keep in touch as best I can.
Mach, Thank you so much, hun. I have found such peacefulness and love with Nick. Someday that will be an everyday experience. So many on here that deserve to be truly loved unconditionally. All I ask is never give up. We never know when that special person will appear, but a higher power does. Luv to all of you, Linda
Paws, I just got back in and on my PC. I read Cat's threads and so much I could say on thye welfare thread, but may do that after spending a little time in prayer so I go in and say what I want to say for the right reasons. But I also must comment on your comment. What true words you have spoken. I once posted a thread on being judgemental and often wonder why we do such things, and yes that includes me. I do find myself judging people, especially when it comes to my grand-kids. But we do all bleed and we all breath. Would it not be wonderful if we truly did not have to judge. Unfortunely we are a society filled with violence, so we must do what is the best for our lives or the lives and safety of our loved ones. Thank you once again Paws.
Thank you so much Mike. You are a wonderful man also and hope that you will find happiness with your lady friend. Also wish the best for you and your daughter.
This Mom has no chance of hooking her up hun, but always like to give it a try. She has a 14 year old daughter, holds down one full time job that most men could not even handle and 2 part time jobs. She seems to like the single life. Says she can sit back and watch all her firends relationships fail and be thankful it was not her. I am working on her.
