Thanks for the info. He's better, he got it broken at a Morbid Angel mosh pit (that he wasn't supposed to be in). The Dr. put a cast on it, and he was on crutches.
It happened nearly two years ago in Feb., and he was in school and the crutch slipped in melted snow and he fell again. That time the cast and all crashed to the floor. Extreme pain and that is when the Dr. had to put the pin in.
We have make a decision before he turns 18 and the insurance ends. Are you still going to ride?
Just wondering, what kind of injury, what kind of pin, and why are they taking it out?
My son broke his ankle and they put a pin in it, but the X-ray showed it looked more like a 2 inch screw!!! He wants to get it out, but the Dr. who did the surgery and who we really trusted, died. Now we're thinking about what to do, leave it in or remove it. Even though we have a garage full of tools, I think it's best to leave it to a Dr. ;)
Changing locations will change the situation for both of them, it may not change the reality of things, but if he doesn't have to see her anymore, especially with her new love interest, it won't hurt him so much.
Sure he is having drama about it, I still say, let him have his way for now. Maybe in six months, things will change for him and he won't care if she shows up there or not.
From what I understand in what you wrote, you have found a new love, having met him at this church. If you can't alternate Sundays and times, and he is begging you not to go there, your ex has no one, and it's my suggestion to you to find another church. At least for a while, see what happens. Maybe in a few months, he will feel differently and all this anxiety will fade away.
Two blondes are standing across a river from each other. The first one yells across to the other one, "How do you get to the other side?" The other one says, "You ARE on the other side!"
I have a hard time putting my feelings into words that make sense.
Sometimes it isn't a lack of listening, it is lack of understanding.
My last relationship, if I didn't understand something, instead of explaining it another way, he would just YELL THE SAME THING AGAIN!
That sure didn't help matters.
In order to effectively get a point across, not only must the other person be listening attentively, there can't be misinterpretations of words.
Sometimes the tone of voice will cause the other one to either tune out or become defensive, and all hope is lost for a while.
Ground rules have to be laid out first, and sometmes that can only be done after a failure is achieved so the next time things can progress rather than stagnate over the same things.
Your question says "if you meet a man" If I just met him, I couldn't love him yet. I'd choose not to subject myself and family to a psycho.
If, after we were together and loved eachother, and some psycho came into his life for no fault of his own, I'd stick it out with him, help him, if he were making the effort to end it.
But I am NOT ready for limitations, the ones that come with a long distance romance. The limitations that come with waiting for someone to be able to "get away" from their life in another place, or "come up with the money" to travel.
I've done this already, (twice) so I am speaking from experience, not fear of advetnure. I love adventure. One worked out almost fantastic for three years, but Canada claimed im back.
On the other hand, I have a teenage son (and a disabled mother) living with me. As much as I love to party, take chances and live on the "edge" I choose to not include them in my trial and error judgments (again).
I'm not saying what I did were mistakes, but how many times should a child have to live through them with a parent? NONE!!! But the chance of something wonderful in my life blinded me to common sense.
At this point, I've met no one who has funds to travel to where I am and put themselves up in a hotel so I am not obligated ot bring a stranger into my home.
I've had a few shallow "attempts" while at the SAME time, the men if you want to call them that, were carrying on with other women online, and I find this disgusting. At least I was told the truth when I jokingly asked about "other women" on the site.
On the other hand, I am not so bitter to stop looking and believing. I am just trying more cautious and protective of myself, and of course the small family I am responsible for.
Meeting someone local is SO MUCH easier, and maybe now it's time to take an easier path to a possible future with someone.
It IS impossible for ME to travel in my current circumstances.
I don't believe you are "sorry" for anything regarding my expectations, you don't even know me. To judge me if I have "low ones" shows you are just rambling....
My statement regarding "fantasy trips" is just that, a statement, means nothing really.
