I'm not familiar with the running shoes you're talking about,

and those running shoes that look like feet with a spot for each toe, do you know what I'm talking about? Just plain weird. Am I being anal?

How can you expect respect from someone you've only met and knows nothing about you. I might be duly impressed with a person's accomplishments but I don't automatically give someone respect, or expect it in return, when we don't even know each other.

Any pointers one can offer? Suggestions?

Is it wrong though to smile on the inside a little? To, be a little gratified-if that's the word-that their bed of roses will have thorns and that once again he will wonder why the relationship can't stay like it was when he was "courting"? Am I wrong?

If people would be more honest maybe there would be less hurt in the world...

"Good" people don't "become" jerks. Doesn't happen. Ever.

I think that I deserved better. I was left wondering what I did wrong and had no kind of closure. I am just left wondering if she ever cared at all.

They would rather leave someone hanging than take responsibility. I couldn't do that to someone.

I get what you are saying, I guess but it 's so hard sometimes.

I keep remembering the good and the bad.

It eats at me,

I feel stupid for still being upset and caring when she probably doesn't give me a thought. She can just write me off in two seconds like nothing apparently.

This seems to be a part of the standard answers to people who struggle with this issue. What I would like to see responses to is do you want to be in a relationship with someone who is in love with someone else but has made that "choice" to find a new love? You will never be their first choice. Are you okay with that?

Also if someone has to make this "choice" aren't they really settling for something lesser then? Why would anyone want to be someone else's lesser then? I can't imagine for a minute I, or anyone else, would want to be with someone who had to make this "choice".

I guess it's the circumstances in which a person must let go, that hurts the most.

How does anyone deal with this?

What do you prefer? Getting to know someone to start a relationship with or looking for a feeling?

First I didn't know fooling around was giving me a chance and second she said she would rather be alone than being with someone who doesn't give her that feeling. I AM SO CONFUSED.

Soooo..I guess my turmoil is..I knew he lied..I knew he cheated...he was a financial mess...he would not separate the ties with his X...So why...knowing that..and knowing that if we had stayed together I would be accepting things I wasn't thrilled about...why am I still haunted by his actions. Perhaps it is his actions more then the fact he left. How and not why..Not sure but would like to hear what others think.

Sorry I don't recall the title.

I guess I don't really know what I'm asking here, more rambling.

More wanting to know what you do. I, mean..do you ever feel like this? Do you ever sit in your apartment all lonely? How do you cope?

How many of you invest in your communities, by volunteering your time, money or expertise? If you don't, what's stopping you?

What would be a great Couples Halloween Costume???

Any older words of wisdom and experience?

The left, being anti-white, cheers this development, and eagerly looks forward to the day when whites
have absolutely no political power at all,

in the land their ancestors founded and built.

I live in Australia and I've never flown to another country...only interstate. Please excuse my ignorance, but isn't it common practice to X-ray all luggage no matter where you fly?

Obama ran on healthcare reform as a main platform

What rights do I have without causing a scene or further delay?

My main goal is always making the plane.

What are your thoughts on whether a morman such as Mitt Romney can be elected president?

Has anybody experienced anything similar?

Has anybody else experienced this,

or have any insight?

I met a guy online and he asked me to be exclusive on our 2nd date. I said I wasn't ready but ended up agreeing because we did have a great connection.

So should I tell him,

and how should I tell him?

Should I tell him it was my roommate who he knows?

Does the length of time we'd been together matter?

but his morals will probably mean the end of the relationship.

question on no contact since Saturday night for no apparent reason

I dont know what to think..... opinions?

would you get plastic surgery if it was free.

The fact is that language is communication.

Also, changing the voting laws just prior to an election is a problem but can anyone show that these were submitted and passed that quickly or were they submitted years ago and are just now getting attention... which is likely being done as a political move in itself.

What I do not understand is how so many millions of people do not have ID and are receiving government assistance. If they are not then they are off the grid and I don't know why they would care about voting. If they do... nothing prevents them from registering.

Not a chance. It only sounds nice. "Every single person" Babies? Teenagers? Visiting foreign exchange students?

voter ID laws are designed, almost exclusively, by GOP dominate governors and legislators, with the sole intent to deminish the democrat vote

ummm republicans have to show an ID as well. it's for BOTH parties and the countries benefit.

if you have the will to vote then you have the will to get an ID.

Anyone else feel this way?

He said that someday, I will figure out that I can't get through this life alone.

I have already accepted the fact that I will be sitting on my porch swing, 30 years from now, alone and I'm ok with it. Am I subconsciously sabotaging any potential relationships due to this mentality?

this is too funny to honest. i ask a question in off topic not relationship/dating thread and im getting chewed out. i appreciate the advice on spending my money on dates instead of strippers.
really, i do...but it is what it is. sometime you dont always want some under you 24/7

What are your favorite "nature" sounds?

Butterfly farts.

Now the relationship is ended, I feel like how she used to feel, is this wierd or what. We used to spend literally every day together she definitely got me a lot softer. Because I knew she was very sensitive I used to be extra extra sweet and nice to her. Now I feel like as if I have sort of lost my self after the relationship,

But I miss my old self when I was like 18.

Anybody here felt like they got changed after the relationship.

As we age, our own death becomes ever increasingly closer. Do you give much or any thought to your death

Do you fear your death and, if so, what are those fears?

I'd suggest making a new topic with veteran suicide, not here where the discussion has always been the man with the 30 kids.
