I don't think love is the opposite to selfishness and I don't believe it conquers all...
I think it is wonderful to be able to love a person, enchanting and makes me feel a better person in being able to express myself.
But I cannot be so loose about it to believe that it has the power to overcome everything... I think when two people stand shoulder to shoulder then it is easier having a person at your side to overcome problems and traumas...
It is nice to know that a person would help you, be there, take your hand, hold it and there is nothing much more powerful than a strong hand in one's own at the best of times, never mind the tough ones...
Indeed, I still love my ex husband, not in that I want to be with him, but as the father of my children. We have gained a mutual respect for one and another as parents of the same children and in essence, the children call us mum and dad and that makes us a unit. Despite the fact that he has a wifey now and another baby, who I adore and her too. And I also have C'ptain, it all sort of works and nicely too.
I know that was a question you asked of SV, however, I take mine to the bathroom too. Because it is usually in my handbag and I take that to the bathroom with me. If I am out in a bar or restaurant.
I'd be a bit silly leaving it on the table, then complaining if it was stolen.
At home, no I do not take it to the bathroom. Or in the man's house...
But then we are adults and don't worry about such details...
Why waste time, there are organisations behind these people who brainwash them into doing these acts...
Wait until you're told they would like you to hold 79 million dollars for them, while they escape from some deranged Uncle who is trying to kill them...
Who can understand the complexities of the human mind??? People have spent thousands of years trying to work it out...
I had one, a few months ago, and it is not often I respond, who wrote to me, stating that he loved my profile, I did on a rare occasion, write him back stating I was in a relationship, that I was only here for the forums. Seems my words 'only here for the forums' tipped him over the edge...
I received:
'You are a cold, calculating cow, who flaunts herself over the forums, and a snob like you will end up on her own'
He is a nice man, I'm sure, he loves the way I talk about him and never gets offended. He takes the piss, out of me alot and it never troubles me...
We all have that online persona, where people take it all to heart, cry, sob, write out about how people are being mean to them, the fighting threads always get the most hits and comments...
And I don't think you are mean either, a bit off centre, but I think you are just fine.
Different personalities and all of that, it makes it an interesting place. Nice and fluffy all the time? I would be chucking all the time.
I don't often drop in on these sorts of things, but Jenny wrote to me about her happiness of meeting Robert and only a few weeks ago she announced her engagement.
So, by your words, TG, you are saying that trust is a given from the start and that if a person has had a colourful history of relationships, it is a person that should not be trusted?
