You've actually said quite a few things here that are very good to absorb and ponder. I have found your take on #1 to be true myself... and I don't like it. AT ALL.
I have to say that I agree with you take on separation. Its like, "Why can't they just get the divorce," right?? The only reason I would foresee for one to drag his or her feet on signing the paperwork is if they still have lingering feelings or major assets... most of the time it ISN'T the latter. Thanks for your input, my friend.
As a few of you know, I fell off the map for several weeks, eight maybe. I was busy with school and a fledgling relationship. Well, I made the dean's list last semester but the relationship didn't fare as well.
I won't get into the details now (I'll save that for a later, more juicy, guilt ridden post) but I have a few questions for the masses:
What's the biggest age difference you would consider dating?
Be serious now, I know some of you are rocking that "Age 18-60, anyone, anywhere" stuff on your profile when you know good and damn well that you wouldn't... but alas... there are some that don't mind. Hell, what's a forty year difference amongst friends?
Question numero dos: Would you date a married person, so long as they are separated? PLEASE feel free to expound on your answer. I see the "Date Married Women" advertisement link across the top of my page every time I log into this site. It always puzzles me a bit.
Lastly, has anyone gone through any kind of couples' therapy or marriage counseling, etc. and if so what was your opinion of it? Did it help you as a couple? As an individual? Or did you just end up like, "Damn. I've wasted a lot of time and money letting someone tell me what I know, Dr. Phil style."
These just questions, none necessarily applicable to me...
just maybe we are all on some predetermined path and you're seeing something you could possibly bring to fruition in your future? Who knows... it may not be a bad thing.
4.) There'd be more family rights in the work place
(Actually, the US is the only nation among the western ones that pays so little attention to family needs or necessities when it pertains to employment.)
My hat is off to you for the simple fact that you can still find a moment of your own to go out on a date. Teach me your time management skills, please, I beg of you.
I was thinking along these lines just earlier today. I'm not even thirty and sometimes I feel the push of Father Time's broom. I look at my father, who will be 66 on Tuesday and marvel at how youthful he is. Even when his body finally begins its slow march, his mind will still be youthful.
I admire that.
I admire him.
Make the best possible use of your time until that last moment. Do every single thing you've always wanted to and people tell you you don't have time for. Its all sooooo worth it.
I just want what I want. Right now it happens to be a glass of wine with strawberries in it. Tomorrow it will probably be a warm slice of sourdough bread with garlic butter, olive oil and herbs. The day after it will be an 'A' on my paper. Always, in the underlying current 'what I want' will be a tall, handsome stranger that that like to watch me drink wine with strawberries in it and eat bread with olive oil.
All while the sunsets on a beach we've never been to before.
He continued to apologize. I graciously accepted his apology and told him that there was just no chemistry. After I hung up with him, I guess he called my friend and asked her to talk to me.
Then she called and said she's never seen him act like that but if he did she certainly wasn't going to try to ask me to go out with him again.
