Thanks for that, my friend... and thanks to Luscious. Its seems I am getting conflicting reports here so I may give it a miss. Sounds as though it was outrageous bahvaiour nonetheless?!
Do you mean a driving license? If so, I think that's really neither here nor there in the grander scheme of things, or a relationship?
As for your debts..... I had a similar situation when getting divorced. The UK laws are different, I'm sure, but I had to pass on being eligible for some of my ex's pension in order to not be saddled with debts for.... the rest of my life!! I still believe, all things considered, that I chose prudently.
It depends on how much of a debt you have. If its not a deal-breaker and someone likes/loves you enough... there are many, many ways to work around it. Just needs a little research and investigative work, seek advice.... it can be overcome!!
If he is not prepared to work with you on this, it doesn't bode well for the future anyway, does it? And, therefore, you WILL find someone who will take the bad times as well as the good?
Don't reproach yourself, Joel. Its something that takes a grip and is soooo hard to combat. It's understandable, love.
Some people spend their whole lives trying to give up. I think shame on those who get us started in the first place, yeah?
But at least try? If you relapse (which is to be expected) don't punish yourself, I think the key is to focus on what you manage to achieve, not what you don't. Perhaps each time you will go further?
Druidess.... I don't have children of my own but, on reading your post, if I did, I could only hope to aspire to bringing them up to be so level-headed and responsible thinking as you describe. As long as they enjoy their youth also? But all the credit to you, love....
Its a jungle out there, moreso these days, and I don't envy the task that parents have at all. It certainly sounds like they are on the right track and I can only commend you on what must be the toughest job!!
Why does it have to be an either/or...?? I am with Jan on this. Moderation....??
You obviously have given it thought before the event, all the credit to you for making your child/children of paramaount importance. Sadly, many don't ya know!!
I wouldn't say a "turn off" as such. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a real boozer but I would prefer someone who could enjoy a nice glass of wine, a Chateau de la Salle or La Cour Pavilion, for example.
No 'licking lips' emoticon, this will have to do ---->
RE: Is being a non-drinker a turn-off?
I agree.... drunk women to the point of total excess, yes!!Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we could all carry it off at splendidly and as sensuasly as Claudia Cardinale in the Pink Panther movie?!
Tingling lips, leading to a kiss? Then, somehow elegantly(?).... passing out (before, no doubt, getting into too much trouble)??!!
Ohhh... cruel world!!
