Theres not an issue of not having trust in our relationship, but just to amuse the minds of PoF I updated my profile.
Um trust is earned. Great effort made in updating your profile, as I have seen many success stories go bad when that step was not taken on the path towards trust.
To amuse my mind sufficiently I would be pleased if my Honey  updated his profile in the Marital Status as follows so that he does not pop up in searches as available:
Edit Profile > Marital Status > select “Not Single/Not Looking” after I ask nicely and hope he asks me to do the same | |

Good luck to you and don't take any notice of the 'downers'. No conclusion can be drawn unless 110% of the circumstance is known.
Once more good luck.    | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 10:20:28 AM | ...is described on Wikipedia (org). Also known as Suck It (Robot Chicken episode).
So. We have a soldier in Texas who fell in love with a Hispanic girl who is wise beyond her age (21), and their commonalities are getting drunk and animated cartoons that use the word 'fart' in a rewrite of the Pledge of Allegiance.
I can see post-military decompression, perhaps the euphoria of whatever the euphemism "when we started dating"might refer to, but I'm really struggling to understand how these 'commonalities' apply to the concept of marriage, love, respect, or the maturity to sustain a life together.
I encourage you to continue "dating," but, please, don't make babies!
Here's some wise words to consider (discuss) before you see stars and rubber duckies in each other's eyes:
He said that “wishful thinking” had colored his three previous marriages. “I’d take a few attributes that I liked, mainly physical, and make up the rest,” he said.
Too often, right after the wedding, come therapy bills (or in this case, perhaps, hot checks). I encourage you to ask each other all of the difficult questions in interviews outside of "dating." If you don't know what the difficult questions are, get some advice from someone who is wise because of his (her) years.
Holy Chicken, indeed. | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 7:25:01 PM | ShirtyDream: Thank you for the kind words... You have no idea how much that means to us.
Yoodle: I feel for you and your closed heart and mind. Who said anything about Robot Chicken being either of our likes. Prior to this post we had no idea what Robot Chicken was. As he mentioned he thoght it was "eye catching." I am sorry you were too shallow to see who he really was, but my eyes are wide open. I have seen the crulety of a beautiful face and I know the pain of a long-term relationship that goes oh-so-bad. So you read this testimonial and nit-pick, as it seems to happen to many success stories, everything. Good for you. I see you are taking advantage of what this site main pupose is. Everyone's experiences are valid, but it stops at the point when you think yours is the ONLY valid experience. Thanks for your input anyway. | |

First off, what does the fact that she's a hispanic have ANYTHING to do with the current situation? I'll go ahead and ignore that. When did she ever state that she was wise beyond her years? I don't remember this. For one I don't drink alcohol often, very rarely actually. Secondly I hardly ever watch animated cartoons, and in fact have never watched the one you're referring to, whether or not I used it as the post topic or not.
I can see post-military decompression, perhaps the euphoria of whatever the euphemism "when we started dating"might refer to, but I'm really struggling to understand how these 'commonalities' apply to the concept of marriage, love, respect, or the maturity to sustain a life together.

Now this, I found this very amusing. What you're attempting to do here is give a psychological explanation for why we're together, and failed. And you refer to "when we started dating", which just totally lost me. Are you a therapist? Do you have a doctorate in this? If so, I'd really like to see it..and even in that case, I'd call your practice a failure for making presumptuous accusations. And when have we ever said anything about marriage? It's very much possible to lover her, and I do. And you say that I shouldn't respect her? Or that we don't have the maturity to sustain a mature relationship? Just because you're 51 years old and have yet to find a truly successful relationship doesn't mean it's impossible for others. A woman of your old age should know to choose her words more wisely.
And thank you for the advice, but no thank you. I would much rather take the advice from someone who can give a valid reasoning behind their sayings instead of someone who insists on attempting to tear apart others feelings and relationship with one another simply because they themselves have failed. | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 8:01:20 PM | I want to know where "Yoodle" saw that you said you had been married 3 times before, I went back and couldn't find that anywhere, even on your profile. My gosh, he's only 21, when did he have time to marry 3 times AND be in the service!!!
Maybe she is the one that is confused. She shure needs to pull her head out of her___ and maybe she wouldn't have such a S------Y outlook on life. 
Good Luck you two and God Bless!! | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 9:12:33 PM | I take great offense to the defamation of Robot Chicken! 
as I said earlier ~ if you can make it work at your age, more power to you. most of us "older folks" have been there, done that, and have an extensive t shirt collection, so you have to understand that most negative posts are really reflections of our own shortcomings, relationship-wise. | |

Posted: 6/17/2007 10:12:50 PM | I respect that, no problem. But theres a fine line between giving your own history and making a jackass of yourself insulting us and making specific assumptions. Theres a way to go about it.
And even then, the point of this website is to find friends/sex/relationships. If you completely dismiss any relationship as immature and unproductive just based on the ages of the people it turns it completely pointless. I just don't see why people can't swallow their pride and be happy for someone, or just not say anything at all...no need for negativity. | |

First (or second, whichever way you tend to read), GOOD FOR YOU TWO!
Next: I really don't understand the need or want to say anything but CONGRATULTIONS and WELL WISHES on TESTIMONIALS. WTF is the point of saying some of the things that have been said? Make you feel better to pick on people? Yes, lets try to bring people down because they're HAPPY.
Things may or may not last. Not up to anyone but these two.
Okay... Move on......
 Congrats again, guys! | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 12:14:59 AM | SLBabe - Fukin-A-! I have never heard it put quite so well. I thank you and appreciate the congratulations. I would also like to say that I know and accept the fact that things may not work out because all couples have their problems. Neither of us ever claimed to be living in a fairytale, but we do love one another. I think this guys got the right idea...

Posted: 6/18/2007 11:12:45 PM | I was thinking all of the same negatives that most of the rest of you were thinking, until I looked at their profiles and saw the ages. They're young, and still have so much promise. I was their age once, and didn't necessarily make smart choices in some areas. I hope the OP makes better choices for his life, and the two of them can have a happy relationship, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't have kids for at least five years, when you're both a little older and hopefully capable of taking care of them.
Good luck to you both! | |

Posted: 6/19/2007 12:08:36 AM | | Definitely not having kids anytime soon. I think we've both said we're not having kids atleast untill after we're married, and I've made a point to where I want to atleast own a house as well. | |

Posted: 6/25/2007 10:48:25 AM | | We just had an amazing weekend together. We hung out with friends, then family, but the best part was when it was just us and he held me. Yeah, we're young and there's nothing like sharing your youth with someone who knows how to appreciate it. | |

Hmmm. I got married at 23 the first time. It didn't work. My older brother got married at 24 and he's still married. He's not likely to be giving advice here because of that. So any advice here tends to be colored by the nature and track history of the advisors. Whether these two will be back to advise later, one never knows. But its wise to congratulate and hope for the best. They sure have been a heck of a lot more positive in their responses than I would have been if someone came and told me "Hey, its not likely to work." I keep saying "attitude is everything." In my book, from their posts here, they've got the right "attitude." Just hope you keep it. Good luck. | |

Really you sound like a real winner. And for the gal that is all over him. Be prepared to live a life full of drama. Quit thinking with your box and find yourself a real man that has his head screwed on right!!! | |

Posted: 6/30/2007 3:52:47 PM | | Good Lord. How quickly positive turns to negative when you hang with the know-it-all crowd. Good luck, kids. Guy gets out of the military, has a hard time for a while, meets a nice girl, they work together to solve problems. For all of the negative crap I just read, I'd like to go back and review the perfect lives of those offering their timeless (cynical) "wisdom". Bet I'd find a few who bounced a check now and then! And even if I didn't, they aren't the kind of folks I'd invite to the wedding! jmho (p.s., thanks for serving our country!) | |
