You know - this may sound kind of corny but I recall hearing Marie Osmond say something about we enter relationships in the various states of self-esteem - in other words - if we feel badly about ourselves - we generally are more susceptible to entering a bad relationship where we allow people people to treat us badly. When we are in a strong place - we don't put up with the bad behavior. And, I kind of reluctantly read a piece of Dr. Phil's book on relationships which said that the strong lasting relationships are the ones where we refuse to compromise who we are...which I agree with. That is not to say that we aren't willing to compromise certain things - just not who we are! Just some thoughts on that...NEVER thought I'd quote Marie Osmond...she's a little bit country and Donnie's a little bit rock and roll...or something like that...
I have and I have learned to run as fast as I can - the other way! People can be very charming and lovely - and then you start to see these little things along the way that don't add up...TRUST yourself...
Ohhhh...I am a die-hard romantic!!!! If you haven't talked about your parting from 25 years ago yet - I'm sure it will happen eventually and I bet he was sorry! OMG - I hope it works out for you both!!! I STILL believe I should have married my high school sweetheart...sigh...
I wasn't typing to well before! I was TRYING to type that I have dated men younger than me - 11 years younger and I enjoyed their company. What I have learned is that humans are humans - there are people that are good and genuine and others who are not as genuine. I don't think age has much to do with a good match...I think it comes down to personalities - likes, dislikes and values/morals etc...
I think it's great! I have a number of men that much younger than myself since I was in my mid 30's. Younger men LOVE older women and Ashton and Demi have paved the way!!! THANK GAWD! Is it everlasting? Why not?! Actually, my grandfather was 20 years older than my grandma and my bro is 10 years older than his wife - who cares as long as people treat each other with respect and enjoy each other! HAVE FUN!!!
Well, let's see - I think once you get to know someone you can read people's body signals and if you can't ...then you aren't paying attention. That said, obviously it's best if people can actually be honest and upfront...however, CLEARLY, some people don't like the truth and/or choose to ignore the signals that might indicate a person isn't interested or whatever! What I have learned is usually if someone is 'pretending' to be 'mysterious' it usually means they aren't being too honest! IF the behaviour isn't consist - or is consistently "off" - then run for the hills!!! That goes for men and women! It only works in the movies methinks! Johnny Depp...sigh...bet he ain't that mysterious after 5 years and a few kids!
The most common one I hear always involves a guy mentioning my 'husband'...checking to see obviously if I have one! Which is interesting because in this day and age...so many people live together and don't always refer to their partner as their husband.
I think we are supposed to base who we marry or date on zodiac signs...come on...how many people look to see if they are compatible based on their sign...hee hee
I didn't know who he was - but my son did...he was perplexed but I think it made my son realize he has to be careful out there. Bizarre really - he did so many stunts and died that way.
