It could be cultural differences which some may find difficult to contemplate, or simply the distance.
Most people seem to stay in their own back yard/country in so far as dating goes. Perhaps the Europeans are a little more adventurous, but still I believe stay within the EU.
I was on here 2 nights ago, after a successful evening out.
And thanks Imma, you are right, this week I´ve been working long hours, lots of new classes and they are ESP (English for specific purposes) so lots of prep needed. An agricultural biologist specialising in table grapes, a kidney surgeon who does vasectomies in his spare time !!, and a group of nurses and environmental health inspectors. I´ve been scouring the internet for resources.
I also have to travel tomorrow and spend the whole day preparing for the Cambridge exams.
My willpower is doing just fine, too bloody busy to even light up if I wanted to, but I´ve developed a craving for cold rice pudding, sprinkled with cinnamon......
Unconditional love doesn´t really exist in my opinion. Of course, as others have said, this doesn´t apply to situations where a person changes through ill health or an accident, love will certainly be tested, but shouldn´t die if it´s the real thing.
However, we all have, albeit, unsaid conditions, and that is why relationships break up.
I´m not sure I understand the question Smoky. Do you mean are there any habits that we would not want a partner to know? Maybe I´m being a bit thick tonight.
If that´s what you mean, I honestly don´t think I have any habits that I would need or want to hide.
I do however have something, silly to some maybe, but I always defuzz in private. Even after 25 years of marriage my ex hubby never saw me dealing with the leg (or other parts!) hair. That´s not a bad habit though, so it doesn´t answer your question...sorry
I´m afraid I have to agree with Ambrose here...not because I don´t want to agree with you Ambrose, but because it goes against what most people are posting!
I feel that despite your beautiful comments Barren, and I truly don´t disbelieve what you have said, it is still, as Ambrose noted, something that YOU are concerned about, despite your protestations otherwise.
Somebody else noted, scubadiver I think, that your partner would not enjoy reading your thread, and I agree with that too.
If she is unhappy with her weight, only SHE can do something about it, you can support her, and I´m sure you will, but reading between the lines, I think it is something that you are not truly happy with yourself rather than what you are implying here.
RE: The day after Friday 13th.............
Lovely warm day here in Spain earlier, but I worked all day from 8.00 to 19.00 after a really long, hard week too.Drinkies and dinner with friends afterwards made up for it though.
Think I´ll spend the day in bed tomorrow, or dossing around in my jimjams.
