8 is a bit old to be in grade 2.
He already has issues with being older than most grade 2 kids

We just have some real freaky people walking the face of this earth.

Melanie....Your 25 yr old boyfriend dumped you before you turned 20. Does that mean you were just too old for him?

Well for me, alot hinges on the message they send me.... (if they message me first)

I don't respond well to "Hi"...or "What's up?" or "Hey sexy!"...WTF?? If you can't even come up with something to say that's somewhat interesting, I pretty much have made my decision right there.
I don't care how shallow it sounds...I'm 44 and have dated all types and all ages (within reason). I'll leave the games up to the ones who haven't been around much!

ok chazbrown1 since this is something i said then i will respond. i do wish however if someone has something to say to you they would just come out and name you instead of being sly . its your problem if you have never heard of a woman who would not date a man because he had been married before . i also would not date a man with kids . no thanks i really dont need the aggravation . i never wanted to have kids of my own so why would i want to deal with someone else's. having been married before is not some sort of accomplishment as some people believe . you are not any smarter or better or know more about life because you have been married before . in fact its a failure on your part . if you couldnt keep a marriage together with your first wife then you couldnt with me .why do i want second hand goods? i could of gotten married before but i never went through with it because we were badly matched despite being in love.it would only of ended up being a failure on my part in the end. i knew it would never of lasted so why go through with it no matter how much you love someone. this was in my very early 20s . so if i was smart enough to see this in my early 20s there is really no excuse for anyone.

OP never mentioned names...you did, which is inappropriate for forums. Take your squabble somewhere else. Do NOT try to get others to form a judgement on him based on your experience...go read the forum rules!

Certainly if I met someone who had got to middle age without ever being in a live in relationship (married or not), I would run the other way very fast...

This just proved my point!!! I'm supposed to be destined to living my life alone because I'm 44 an never married??? That's just dumb! Like I said, people have their reasons for not marrying and all of them aren't because they are HIGH maintenance. I chose not to "settle for"...God forbid I would have married the ones I was engaged to!! I have wisdom having gone through the relationships and survived...LMAO.

I saw opportunity where some saw none. My career was important to me at that time in my life, which to some would seem honorable. I dare not think the way some do...that if you're not married by the time you're 30, there's something wrong with you. Screw that!!!

I don't live with my "mum" and I NEVER depended on a man for anything! If I choose to have a lifelong partner (marriage), then he will be educated enough to know that I'm not the type to take him for a ride. So many divorces occur when women USE men to fulfill their dreams and then screw them over in a divorce. These kind of women give us all a bad rep.

I will marry when I can contribute more to the relationship than my ability to raise kids, cook, and have sex! There may be a guy out there that respects women for having a brain and ambition to do those things and MORE!

Thank God I have the life I have because I never want to be "dependent" on anyone for my security..

I would be more worried about someone who was never married than someone who is divorced. Of course this depends on age too....someone 40 and under I would maybe wonder less than someone over 40. I would also wonder about someone in their 30's -40's who is 2-3 times divorced, makes me think maybe marriage just isn't for them.

This is the exact mentality I'm talking about in my previous post! It reminds me of the old days where if a girl wasn't married by the age of 18, she was considered an old maid and destined to live life alone. WTF???

My choice was to pursue a career instead of moving wherever my partner wanted me to. Depending on how a person is raised and what they feel they need to accomplish in life has alot to do with when and with whom they choose to settle down.

I don't place "stigma's" on people because of the choices they make in life. I've dated men who have been married a multiple amt of times and men who have never married. Each has their own experience to bring into the relationship.

I say....when it's right, it'll happen. Everything will mesh and although it won't be perfect, there will be experiences to draw from, from both sides. In my experience, whenever I try to FORCE things to go my way, they always fail, especially in relationships. When things happen , as they should, naturally, then it's a smoother ride.
