Would all depend on how much I cared for the gent. If it were a first date...one type of "best foot forward", but if it were someone whom I knew on a deeper level, would be a whole different "ballgame".
Since the recession hit three years ago, I have not gotten away for any playtime for fun...just work, work, work, even two jobs for awhile; but in about 9-10 weeks I'm planning a trip to Myrtle Beach, SC, for a three day weekend
It's been my favorite campground for 20 yrs; and it's the best place ever to relax, enjoy a campfire, and a walk on the beach in the moonlight
Anyone else trying to plan a "get-away", even in these hard times?
Yep to have done it for a Hubby, yep to would do it again...and again, even have a Strip Tease Exercise Book just to tone up the ole muscles don't cha know , no, really, I do have the book
To have your significant other leave the relationship without communicating with you why he/she wanted out, or what problems he/she were having in the relationship, that you may not have been aware of; for lack of communication on his/her part. However, he/she for sure shared his/her thoughts with an old supposed friend.
Seems very cowardly, selfish, and irresponsible to treat someone that way no matter who did it to who?
If she can recite the shoe sizes of all the members of the football team, and the National Guard cadettes, he may be the one getting the surprise and not her
I had a Dear Dear Aunt to take her life when I was in my early 20's, and the grief I experienced has saved my life at least twice as I remember the hurt in my heart for my Aunt, and I would not want to cause that for any of my loved ones.
It looks like I may be going through a second divorce and this was the option I was considering as I traveled through the state of Connecticut last December, but again, even when I don't feel important to me, in my heart I know I am important to my son and daughter and the brew of pets at home who would not be alive if I had not rescued them; and if I weren't here to Love and Care for them. Still it's not like the Love I thought someone else said they had for me at one time. and that I had for him .
May I suggest at least 1-2 things that may help with the healing of your heart. If at all possible go to her grave and talk to her as often as you can, and tell her all the things you would have said if you had the chance again. No, she may or may not hear you, but your healilng will begin. If that is not an option; write her a Care Letter and tell her all those same things and pour out your heart and grief at her choice of taking her life. When you can share with all your loved ones how much you care about them and take the opportunity to try to never take any of them for granite. I know we all have busy lives, me included, but we should all take this sad occasion to slow down and tell our loved ones we Love them too
Again, Hugs for you and I'll keep you in my prayers as you go through this journey of grief. I hope answers and peace come to you quickly and that as you share this story with others it makes a difference in the relationships they have and you feel good about taking something so painful and making something special of it for all the lives you touch
Sorry so long...just this sort of thing touches my heart deeply
Yeah, watch that "work ethic" seems some folks think that's a "Total Turnoff".....seems nice to me to have a place to live, food to eat...and all the other little things in life that make it so Wonderful
I've been accused also of having too many work commitments as well....but hey the opposite could have been said about him
I enjoy the Mayflower Seafood Restuarant in Concord and the Fire House Restuarant in Albemarle, NC. The Fire House has a Wonderful Buffet with red meat, chicken, and pork entrees as well as a fantastic salad & dessert bar all for one price of course!
And she assumes to know that he's in an abusive relationship, that's only an assumption also...she doesn't know the other person from Adam's house cat...how can you assume that one side of the story, of any story, is always the complete truth.
Just suppose you have two young children, and one day in the Family Room of your home, your favorite lamp falls from the stand and gets broke, the one child happens to tell you his/her side of the story first ...are you going to automatically believe just that one child without getting the other child's version of what happened...hopefully not...that's the case here. GingerB is assuming Raynew is in a bad relationship without hearing both sides....and she's viciously attacking that person without them being here to at least defend herself....and she's assuming Raynew and/or his partner is need of professional help...again, she's assuming...she should show Raynew and his partner more respect than that. And as I said, it's only my opinion...nothing more...we are all still allowed our opinions, right?
Monogamy does not seem to receive the level of importance it used to have..and it's as if people don't think it's possible anymore...so there doesn't seem to be any rules of commitment any longer....very sad...very said indeed
EarthAngel
For myself exclusiveness (ie..monogamy) is one of the top (3) critical criteria in a relationship with me...I give it, and I need that to fully give myself to someone without any reservations or lack of trust.
We should take in every moment we're alive on this beautiful planet and make it count for a lifetime
Some of my most favored memories are the ones I've made with those whom I Love so Dearly...children, pets, and the man whom I used to share my life with...who now resides far away..and whose love leaves my heart by bits & pieces everyday..as we take time to heal and move on with our lives...I guess that's what's happening..things not really clear
Tomorrow's another day...in which I will embrace Health, Happiness, and many memories yet to be made with much Love
RE: how would you impress your date?
Would all depend on how much I cared for the gent. If it were a first date...one type of "best foot forward", but if it were someone whom I knew on a deeper level, would be a whole different "ballgame".EA
