I don´t understand how people can pretend, even behind a computer screen. Well yes, I understand how much easier it is in the virtual world to deceive, but I still don´t know how or why people do it.
At the end of the day they will be caught out, so why waste energy pretending to be somebody you are not?.
I have spent a lot of time....too much the truth be told.... just observing and not posting. I have been shocked at times by the lies and alter egos I have encountered in the 3 years I´ve been a member.
I´m talking about regular posters here not "fly by nights".
If you have had a good relationship and things go wrong for whatever reason, then you move on, but there is always a small corner of the heart that belongs to that person.
This is of course only if the relationship has run it´s course and the break up is not for really serious reasons.
The key of course is not to carry these past experiences with you into the next relationship. If you do then it will surely fail.
I still love my ex husband, but not in the romantic way. How could I not? We were together most of my adult life, but we grew apart.
I would never contemplate a life with him again, even though it is still a possibility.
Gussi, I asked a Customs guy at Heathrow one time, after he too stopped me. It is simply because I am a single, middle-aged woman with a very large suitcase! Prime target for drug smuggling apparently, be it deliberate or not.
My travels were due to work, so I was spending a year away which meant lots of luggage.
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun Coral is far more red than her lips' red, If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun, If hairs be wires, black wires grow upon her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks, And in some perfumes is there more delight, Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak: yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound, I grant I never saw a goddess go, My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground, And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare.
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps. I hunger for your sleek laugh, your hands the color of a savage harvest, hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body, the sovereign nose of your arrogant face, I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight, hunting for you, for your hot heart, like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
Ven!!! Tom posted in Yew´s Inters thread on behalf of both of us, but I just had to post here....home....to say I think you both are a perfect match and I´m so happy for you.
RE: How long should it take to get over someone?
Anything is possible James, you are quite right.Life is hard, break-ups are hard, but it is certainly true that time is a great healer.
The most difficult thing is to not waste time thinking about what could have been if....
Happiness is always just around the corner methinks.
