Ouch! That's one heck uva chunk and not to mention the astringent factor of the vinegar in one's nasal cavities.
Do you think he would "do" me instead?
Let's just say that he's a nice man.   | |

"101 ways around having to rely on a man"
You mean in addition to "101 Ways a Cucumber (not a bread and butter pickle cucumber by the way, Cooky...) Is Better Than A Man"?  | |

Random you crack me up...I told my friend that if I develop any more I would find even less compatible dates..... tired of over development. I also find that relationships are the best way to self improvement. | |

Posted: 1/29/2009 12:24:26 AM | | I have wonderful friends, so the affectin and kinship are not an issue. Physical gratification is also no concern (other reasons). I miss cuddling the most. Then again, I'm a cuddle addict. Even partial cuddling counts in this (a brush of the hair or cheek). The mild daily affections, suppose. After all, the little things count the most. | |

Posted: 1/29/2009 7:25:40 AM | When I was single, as I was, unwillingly, for the last six years of my marriage, I missed a lot of things.
I missed the simple company of another adult.
I missed a common frame of reference and shared experiences and history.
I missed shared holidays and planning for them together.
I missed touching, all kinds, all levels, and there was a way that missing this was a starvation that went far beyond food.
I missed mental and emotional contact.
I missed another perspective on the situations in my life.
I missed simply having day-to-day help of another adult with our three children.
I missed knowing that someone cared about my life.
However,
I didn't miss violence. I didn't miss lies and I didn't miss insults.
I still don't miss the screamed obscenities that rattled the walls and nerves.
I didn't miss being undermined; my friends threatened, my agents screamed at.
I didn't miss being told that he was going to wreck me professionally so I would learn to keep house better.
I didn't miss watching the kids run for their rooms and go under their beds.
I didn't miss getting hit, or hearing about the beatings from my children. Never knew I could hate anyone I loved.
I didn't miss broken doors, broken walls, and my broken heart.
I discovered that sometimes it is better to be alone.
Now that I am no longer alone, I feel like I am tiptoeing into a larger world!!
I have what I missed, and so much more than I ever imagined.
(Insert largish, singlespaced BOOK of blessings here...)
I no longer have (thank God) what I didn't miss. In retrospect, I cannot imagine why I fought so hard to save my abusive marriage,
and I am thankful every day that I am no longer interested in the shenanigans of my scary, violent ex.
He can go and play with his female companion of the past four years, and tell her about his bowels. I don't have to listen to any of it anymore.
I am thankful that he missed his last visit and plans to miss the next two!
I can hope that this is a trend, and that he will be continuing to focus on his lady and not his kids. If he mails his blessings, they won't hit!
My kids are beginning to be less frightened and subdued. They are making jokes about the lying cop-stories he told them. They are beginning to PLAY again...
There is laughter in this house, silliness, even jokes and puns from the children as they discover the one who forbade jokes simply IS NOT THERE!
Now what passed for love, what passed for hate, all the horrible past...all is settling down into amusement and a faint sense of "what the heck was all that about?" | |

I think those are the things I miss the most, and the things I most look forward to doing/having again when I find that special someone...

Posted: 7/6/2009 4:02:14 PM | well, you certainly are a romantic - and, for your sake, I hope it is NOT hopeless!
what I miss most about being with someone is the hope, the fun, the looking forward. it helps ease the daily problems, as you say. that basic trust, caring and knowing that you matter to someone is important. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 4:05:54 PM | see the problem in this view? "someone with whom to spend time on free weekends"
and exactly what about the rest of the time that is so "free"? and which of the two persons in a relationship gets to define "free"?
free to you means maybe once a month when you don't have anything else planned and you feel like getting laid? what does the other person on the not so free weekend when it's her sister's or best friend's wedding? or a company picnic? | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 8:40:53 PM | it's 5.30 in the morning here....there was a storm and I couldn't sleep anymore...I thought a lot...I was talking to myself pretending the person I love was there beside me...and remembering the person I loved, who's never been himself and pretended to be someone else for 15 years....so...what I miss ? I miss someone to give my love to, for real not just with fantasy, someone to hold, to embrace, to kiss, to caress, to laugh with, to talk with...someone who loves me and makes love with me all night long.
I cried and my tears fell down while I was holding my pillow. Just once again.

Posted: 7/8/2009 8:06:36 AM | Feeling a really deep connection with someone who gets me and really appreciates me, and I them.
Sending or getting little text messages, like, "how was your day".
Little affectionate touches.
Making dinner just for 2.
Secretly slipping a note into her purse.
Getting pounced on when she finds it later.
Lusting after someone who lusts after you. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 8:23:10 PM | Geez, what don't I miss about being in a relationship???
The close connection that you have with someone else.
Having someone wrap their arms around me just because.
With just one glance at each other causes you to both burst out laughing...
Just about everything.
To all of the hopeless romantics...cheers   | |
