If I and my Partner had been apart for a long time and I developed a friendship with His best friend, and we wanted to take it to another level, I would then meet with my ex and lay it out on the table out of respect for him.
Note this would not be asking his permission but letting him know, privately how things were shaping up b4 letting the world know.
I would also expect His best bud to do the same.
If I had a Sister/Sorority Sister and she cut a guy loose, I would wait a respectable amount of time say @least 4 to 6 months or longer, b4 getting into a friendship with the guy.
If things were to shape up as I outlined above, I would also do the same as for a Buddy of my ex, as I said above.
This is to be respectful of the person whom had been involved with me or a sister. This would be done this way EVEN if they were with a new mate, just b/c I feel it is a sign of caring and respect.
Never would I let them find out via others. Nor would I ever take up with another when the pain is fresh. That to me, is just being mean and trying to hurt one. This I have nor respect for a person when one does this to another. JMHO
In short, all the religions in the far east have a legend of a boy whom masters their religion and moves on. The boy gets older and turns into a man and the trail from youth to manhood leads right up to the age of 30 when he baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan river near Bethany.
When studying Jesus teachings closely, they very much resemble the much older middle eastern religious thought and teachings.[/quote]
Thank-you, I will read it. I have also heard of this(Your last line above in bold/Red)
I have had 15 surgeries, I came to in the midst od a few of them, rather unsettling. I think it is possible the Bald headed man you saw may be your Guardian Angel or Spirit Guide whom was guiding the surgeons in your operation.
Sometimes in altered states we MAY be able to see more clearly, those we cannot see in normal consciousnes.
Also, I have read of Ancestors we nebver knew nor met except in the transition to life before being born coming to the aid of their decendents. So this is also possible.
It may not be possible to ever totally know who/what/which he was.
I think you were given a special gift of reassurance.
Wow, I am not being insulting Wall please forgive me if I have insulted you. But it does surprise me, you also believe it is possible. Your other posts seem very, um "mainstream".
I, too, have thought along these lines. Also, there are the "Lost Teachings of Yeshua,(Jesua), And the unaccounted for year of his life that he MAY have spent in the far east, learning.
I reached this this year with my Late Husband. I posted my thread this spring. I still think about Him, part of me still loves Him. Probably always will.
I am ready for a new relationship on many fronts, but not yet on others.
I will wait untill I am ready on all fronts b4 moving back into the stream otherwise, I feel The Glacier up stream will runoff too fast and I will be caught in riptides spiraling over the Falls. NOT fun.
So I will wait until the flooding ebbs to calmer waters b4 joining or inviting one to join with me. Hopefully, that way we have time to establish our rythum b4 the next set of riptides are scurrying downstream to the falls.
depends upon the people and the relationships. For me, I never had any luck with older guys, I tend to stay away from getting involved with them as a result. I have better luck and more in common with younger guys.
My Parents were 18.5 yrs apart my Father elder.
My Best friend from grade school up -her parents were ~ 22 yrs apart Mother elder.
Both Marriages were the strongest I have ever seen in my entire life.
I would never give up my Furbabies. There are ways to live with another person and animals. A home could be found where the animals can be in part of it and not in the other person's area.
Also, I AM allergic to some of my Furbabies and Shots do work. My Allergist told me ~ 75% of his Patients are Veterinarians Allergic to their own Patients BUT that they would never give up their carrer even if shots were not available.
Thoughts come and go,,,,GOOD AND BAD,and I AM NOT my thoughts, but I NEED to be AWARE of them,so I don't act out on the bad ones. I can't even count how many times I've spoken before thinking out of impulse,and only afterwards I would say,,''S,hit,why did I SAY THAT?''
...But I'M learning to THINK before I ACT.[/quote]
I do agree with you and as much as I feel we have no business over there, I also feel we need to help if asked. Although it is going to bite us in the facve where most of the world is concerned. , as usual.
