If you want serious advice, Summer, (because most on the Intl forum are not familiar with the UK legal system) go and see a local solicitor. If you are not happy with your current solicitor, you need to take advice from another. A barrister will not (in the normal scheme of things) speak to a client directly, unless he has been taken up by a solicitor first.
Im sure you know this already, but Im just trying to help.
The best thing you can do, because barristers will not speak to you directly (unless there is on on this site who will, but I dont know of one), is to go through a local solicitor who does a Free Legal Surgery in your area, and explain the situation. Im sure you already have a solicitor, but you may be able to get another perspective on it.
If you want to email me privately about this, please do.
I cant comment on US women, but I can say its the same here..
I hear so many guys here complaining about the "emptiness" of the younger lady these days. I have no idea if it is true or not, but I do have my own beliefs..
There is a BIG "Older Woman" culture in Ireland, and I guess it is partly because of what you allude to in your post.
You are a cute lad. Take your time, there is no rush. Someone will come along who has more than hair straighteners on her mind, believe me..
Seriously, one night, you will be working and you will see a lady hanging back in the shadows, having a quiet drink watching you do your thang. Not impressed, just listening and taking it all in...
She will be the one that will accept you as you, accept what you do for a living and be secure in that, if she knows you love her.
What you do for a living shouldn't matter; alot of successfull relationships are formed with male models and suchlike, and they work too....
The profession doesnt matter; whether you are a lawyer, a chippie or a DJ - if the trust is there, the love will come..
Youre a very pretty gal, and youre only 27, so you SHOULD be out having fun. Even if you are no longer into the club scene, find some new hobbies, and places to meet new people.
The internet is a wonderful thing, but it can easily become the centre of one's life, especially if you are not working. Try (i know its difficult!) to limit yourself to a certain amount of time per day/week online, and spend the rest of the time out and about.
Dont get desperate..You have everything going for you, sweetie..
In answer to your question, we only went public yesterday, as you will see. Prior to that we were keeping it under wraps, and just enjoying the forums.
As I said in my OP, I am flying to the US in just over a week. From that point on, we obviously will be making our relationship our priority, and wont be on CS so often. Until that time, we use it as just another communication medium, along with our telephone calls and IMing.
Thanks again, for your kind wishes, and I will pass them on to Dave..
This is funny; its an idea for a thread that came into my mind a few days ago..
Nothing puts the shivers up my spine quicker, than when I see a post on here, or I hear a spoken sentence start off with "With the greatest of respect...". Its like saying, in the terms of a legal matter "Without Prejudice"..
9 times out of 10, the following statement is exactly the opposite of being respectful. Some folk seem to think that by putting that at the beginning of a sentence, it gives them free rein to say what the heck they like, because of course they mean it with "respect"...
I think the idea of respect is now sadly lacking in the world. In all its forms. Im not sure how this has come about really, but it is very sad to observe.
Well, in that case, if it goes on How Many Stupid Threads that Hit the High in the Stupid of Stupid Threads, I know someone on here that must have an absolutely BULGING INBOX...
Its difficult to assess, without knowing why he broke down. As in, is it an issue relating to a past relationship, or a bereavement, or suchlike?
If its a past relationship issue, then I think you are best off to take a step back, and let him go through it. You will only end up getting hurt if for some reason he is not ready for another relationship. Stay in the shadows, let him know you are there if he needs you and wants to talk, but let him deal for now.
If its another issue, then you can offer your support, and perhaps guide him toward some kind of counselling, perhaps..
