You raise great points there my friend, evening by the way. I do think that women (apologies gents) are better at dealing with emotions than men are, despite PMT and periods and so on! Men want to be able to have it all or nothing and are the ones that do suffer alone more than we do and are very much islolated in the feeling that they have to be big and macho and suffer alone..
Sweetheart, whatever any person says here is irrelevant. If you were my friend, I would be saying this to you, I will support you in whichever route you take. Yes, the 72 hour rule is in place in Austria too and you should seek advice from your pharmacist and do what is right for you.
I was very fussy and upfront about what I wanted in a partner, I think that is natural especially when one is on a singles site. It affords us the time to choose and state what we want in a relationship and from a partner.
I remember when I had been here a year and I used to sit and think there would never be a person that I would meet, but then I would snap out of it quickly, because I was not solely reliant that this would be the place it would happen so those moments I shooed away pretty quickly. Then one day a man dropped out of the sky and on a thread we met. I always knew it would be a person who would make me sit up and think 'I like this person and I want to get to know them' It had to be a person who would blow my skirt up!
Is love overated? No, not at all. How can it be? Love is something that I am much better in than out of. Simply because I like taking care of people, but only the people that I truly care for, children, friends, parents, my man and that I cherish, it is not overated to me at all.
And I never saw myself as left on the shelf, I saw it as a time when I was evolving as a person and I was coming to a point in my life where I was ready for a relationship and I knew it would happen, I sort of just knew.
No, I live in the country where a man holed up his own daughter for 24 years and she bore seven children to him. But that does not make me a person who goes around thinking that he should be shot! You are in an international forum, therefore I am not sure what you are looking for with your post. Is there a link to the story so that I can make up my own mind. Thanks!
You are! You are doing that now, with writing it down, that is beginning of the feelings coming to the surface.
I cannot imagine what it is like for you, not in my deepest dreams, but you have definitely made the first move. Welcome to CS and simply by writing it down, you will gain support and other people who have lost children. My very heartfelt thoughts to you.
Not often I come into the goodbye threads, but I am disappointed to see you go ARG. You have brought many a laugh and are a lovely man. Such a shame, but I understand.
I love travel too, but I also like my home and I do suffer with homeitus. Austria is my home and I will always keep a base there, where I found peace and harmony.
You can always come and stay with me Imma, you know this. Anytime, even if I am not there. It is wonderful.
Well, I think I might be the only one here. What would I choose? I don't have to, I have enough to live off, which is what I would always want and to give myself a good standard of living. I have love and am happy.
Without sounding pompous, then I am afraid no matter how much I felt for a person, I would protect my assets and am not prepared to give them up to choose love. I want financial responsibility from a person as I deliver that, no matter what they earn. I come from a very owrking class family, my father had three jobs to put me through my education and I have had enough hands dwon lavatories to ensure that my children have a roof over their heads. That being said, I am no victim and have certainly had my picking up the sofa to check if any spare coins were hiding down there when my children were young and my ex husband was out of work.
And also, I don't choose love, I don't choose when to love a person, I either do or I don't.
So I cannot answer this, because there is no option for 'neither'
July 18th, Kid. I am at the British Open and I know I'll be chuffing a few there, because my friend is with me and my father. Then I will attempt to pack up.
