He only had to get a restraining order to protect himself from her. I dont understand why you think if they had been married this would have been better??? Now on top of it all he would have been financially responsible and having to pay for a divorce also? He should have contacted an attorney to see about sueing her for damages...he still can. | |

What would make someone of our age group leave our homes and move into someone elses. At my age and since I've just moved, I'm not too thrilled to even entertain the idea about moving again, anytime soon. And, since I'm not in a serious relationship with anyone to have to make the decision, it's a moot point, in my life, right now. But, for sake of argument, if I were to meet a fella and it became serious enough to consider living together arrangements, I'd need that "little piece of paper" to feel good about it. It's called a Co-Habitation Agreement or a Pre-Nup. I guess that tells ya that my "starry-eyed" days are over. Sad isn't it. | |

| Moving in Posted: 7/10/2008 9:31:29 PM | capricorn,yes it's a horrible situation and it reallly scares me especially at my age!!i don't want to take that risk , so i'm quite happy to have my own little home at least for now.i don't have to worry if a relationship will last or if i will be kicked out the next day.
i know we say well i wouldn't do it unless i was in love..but that's exactly what we are if we give it all up for love just to be dumped shortly after... yes capricorn, it is amazing what we do in the name of love!! | |

I've shaken the lemon trees in the forest for almost 60 yrs. and I have lemonade. I've added sugar along the way and as a result I'm living comfortably in my lemonade stand. No bitterness resides here. Not from the death of my late husband or other crappy events during the past 6 decades. Nor am I living half-dead just because I'm single and without the love of a man in my life. I'm not playing the role of the martyr or arrogant enough to think that I'm the only human being on the planet that has known heartache. I would think that moving in with a partner would be a huge life decision for most people over 45. When or if I finally meet "the one" I want to spend the rest of my life with, I'll have no problem sharing my lemonade laced with love. It will certainly be part of the equation. But so will REALISM. Anyone with a grip on reality will ensure that their own "lemonade stand" will be left intact if the relationship fails. | |
