Is Romance Dead?
Posted:
5/15/2006 3:46:15 PM
I still follow the rules of treating a lady like a lady, not just a date. If I am out with co-workers that or female, or others, I still open the door, pull out the chair, etc.. I was raised in the south and my grandfather would roll ove in his grave if I did it any other way. However, I have found over the past few years that you have to be fleet of foot to accomplish this now because women are so use to doing it for themselves that they don't usually give a guy the chance. My theory, if he doesn't open the door don't go in, if he doesn't pull out the chair, don't sit down. They know they were raised better. Sometimes you have to demand the respect and courtesy you deserve.

Met someone here and it went bad!
Posted:
4/24/2006 5:05:28 PM
Well it's not just on POF! I have met so many women who misreprent themselves. I've come to the conclusion that meaningful long lasting relationships are a thing of the past. The saying "I'm not here for a long just a good time" has taken over. Such a shame, because the true "thrills" only come with real relatioships!

Men.. Do you have to have the chase?
Posted:
2/26/2006 7:46:53 PM
If a women approaches me then I am flattered and it is insignificant who started what. I think any man who would be turned off by a women approaching him is a bit stuck in the 16th century. The "alpha male" is highly over rated!!! Times are changing and the modern male needs to change with it. I think the "game" is obsurd. People should communicate much more than they do!

divorce, I wish I died
Posted:
2/5/2006 7:12:57 AM
I understand your pain, I have lived it after getting divorced after 14 years. I have to give you some advice. Don't walk, run to your doctor! If you don't have one then call a suicide prevention center, go to the health department, what ever you have to do to get in front of a doctor. It sounds like you have clinical depression, nothing to be ashamed of, but something that requires treatment. Depression is a chemical imbalance and requires a MD intervention. Although your situation could be situational I extremely doubt it, and even if it is you need the help of a professional. Suicide is not an answer. Rebuilding your life and your self esteem is the answer. Let me stress upon you, YOU CANNOT DO THIS ALONE! Talk to someone right now, today! If you can't find a suicide hot line in your area then go to your nearest emergency room, they will get you counsel right away. There is no shame in seeking help. Every human life has worth, don't waste what has been given to you. It's Sunday, if all else fails go to a church (not to attend service) but to speak to the minister/priest, they have a wealth of resources to help direct you. Get off your butt and go now. I know your first response will be I am to tired today, that is what depression does, get the strength from down deep somewhere and go right now!!!!!! Robert, R.N.

Deja vu? Now you know why men chase younger women. If you really want to feel out of place ask them who the first President is they remember. It's really putting up a mirror. It all depends on what phase you are in and what you are looking for. Chances are it won't be anything real, but it is a hell of a lot of fun!

Ending a 12 years mairriage
Posted:
8/16/2005 9:21:03 PM
Twelve years is alot of time and commitment to throw down the drain. Don't let that green eyed monster make decisions for you. I am a strong believer in giving it your best shot. Divorce is forever and being single is not all it's cracked up to be! No one should make you feel like a bad person, but a lot of times people project on others the way they are actually feeling. It never hurts to talk, if you have virtually already thrown in the towel then what do you have to loose? Honest talk will help, even if it's only to go your own separate ways with a little less guilt and a little more understanding on both parties part as to what went wrong. I really think divorce is the easy way out, it takes alot more guts to at least investigate the possible solutions.

A Real Wake Up Call.....
Posted:
3/3/2005 3:26:19 PM
I see it every day in the ER. Death doesn't discriminate for age, life style, etc.. I wish the best for your friend, make sure he heeds the teaching that his doctors and nurses give him. Don't stop living, just pay attention to how you are living, then, live like you were dying! On a personal note I went through something simular a year ago, for me it was a blessing, I treasure every moment and my patients get my undivided attention. For me, it happened for a reason, scared the hell out of me, but gave me the true reason why I'm here!

Girl Friend Being Intimate With Someone Else
Posted:
2/19/2005 3:20:48 PM
Actually..............It did happen to me, married for years, she was my best friend, or so I thought. My response, when I found out I told her not to come home for 24 hours, in that time I got my stuff, moved, and filed for divorce. Simply, I didn't know her anymore, the person I divorced was a stranger. Friends don't do that to friends, much less if you are married to them. I never spoke to her again, not even in the divorce, I never answered another telephone call. To me, the person I loved died.

Different Kind of Broke Heart
Posted:
1/25/2005 3:53:34 PM
You have my heartfelt prayers for the return of your babies! I know the attachment, I have one cute little dog "cowboy" a long haired daschund. I understand the attachment and love you have for them, they are loyal and loving members of the family. I was sick for a long time and when ever I would have a chemo treatment, or whatever, he would never leave my side. People don't understand, they have personalities as individual as ours. They are happy, sad, and give totally unconditional love. I am a firm believer in Karma, who ever took them will pay. I wish you the speedy return of your loved ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do i get over this
Posted:
1/23/2005 9:06:28 AM
unmundane-checked the laws, only exception in this state is a 2 year age difference variance which can still be ignored by the state attorney, in this state, 14 will get you 20. However, I think he should take your advise and ignore the law, that will give them just a little longer to catch up to the child molester. That is exactly what this guy is. I'm the father of a 16 year old, I know exactly what I would do to him, I hope dad catches up to him before the states attorney, justice would most likely be a little swifter.

Can intelligence, narrow the gap, between age...?
Posted:
1/18/2005 8:41:26 PM
I don't think intelligence and maturity should affect the fun factor. I try to make all my decisions based on an intelligent basis, as far as maturity, I feel maturity is essential to handling all of life's little quirks, but, neither intelligence or maturity will stop me from having as much fun as I can cram into one lifetime, I just don't end up in jail after partying all night. I think that is what a lot of people are looking for, someone who is fun loving, living life to the fullest, but grounded enough in reality to know that you are still accountable for your actions. I know if I could find that in mate I would be one happy camper! You know, a lady that will party with the best of them, but if a cop pulls you over on the way home doesn't get you thrown in jail. Maturity doesn't mean old, and intelligent doesn't mean boring!

hotoneaz, you might want to check the law in your neck of the woods, in Florida it doesn't matter what the parents say, it's still statutory rape, Florida presses charges regardless what the parent or the child says. I noticed your are from Sierra Vista-I went through army intelligence school at Ft. Huachuca there, use to be a real small town, Mexico was close for fun though.

Should I call off the wedding?
Posted:
1/18/2005 6:28:21 PM
You both need to see a MD. Sex is recipricol, if either has a problem, then you both have a problem. It's hard to have sex if you feel someone doesn't want you. It may not be that at all and there are a lot of medical conditions that can cause this. A healthy sex life is essential to a healthy relationship. Don't assume that it is an attraction problem, if the love is there, then mostl likely it is a medical problem that can be addressed. Don't give up something good for something that can be fixed. There are multiple new meds on the market and only a MD can correctly diagnos it. I urge you not to try over the counter "wonder" formulas, this problem can be because of underlying medical problem that needs to be addressed. To separate over this matter I think would be a mistake. You'd be surprised at the help modern medicine can be, talk to you family doctor about a referral to a specialist. It will be worth every dime that you and your significant other spend. Happy days ahead. (trust me this is what I do for a living)

what to do? please help
Posted:
1/18/2005 5:23:16 PM
Sorry to hear about your lose. When someone becomes someone different than you fell in love with it is truely a lose. Not much to be gained by slamming her. You have no obligation to lower yourself to her standards. If you feel like you must tell her parents, then you might want to say something like "your daughter has given me no option but to divorce her". They will find the rest out on their own and will always respect you for continuing to be who you are, not who her actions are making you want to be. In the end, when you look back, you will know in your heart that you did the right things and you maintained your dignity. Everyone around you who knows you and her will know it as well. I am not a believer in staying with someone who cheats, history has a tendency to repeat itself. When someone makes a 180 degree turn on you it leaves you wondering what the hell happened, what did I do? Trust me, I've been there, you didn't do anything to justify being cheated on. It is the other partner's responsibility to let someone know they want out before commiting adultry. Take your time, lick your wounds, and try not to let her actions ruin you for someone in your future who truely deserves you. It was her problem. You were a victim. Keep your head up and be proud that you are a honorable person. Someone will love you for you one day and they won't be hiding an agenda in the closet! Good Luck!

Thanks for your support Chelle! In no way do I support any disrespect from my daughter toward her mother. The only problem is that she has seen her mother in a very bad light! The respect she did have has been lost because she has witnessed her mother's shall we say dark side as well as witnessed her lying in court. I have always taught my children that respect is something that is earned, not a birth right, and now that may come back to haunt me! Regardless, it makes it hard, because I know her mother loves her, she is just ruthless in getting her way. I do have to give my daughter a lot of credit, through all this she has kept all A's and B's in High School, is on Sr. Volleyball, and in a command position in her Marine Corp ROTC program, really a tough kid! College isn't an option, it's what you do after High School!!!!!!!!!1

You are totally right about alienating my daughter, my daughter wants nothing to do with her mother. But even that part is hard for me, I am recovering (one year in remission) from leukemia. If I should have a relapse then my daughters mother really needs to be there for her. The main reason all this started was when I started going in remission I told my ex and my daughter about the cancer, I waited until that point because to be truthful it didn't really look to good for a while. After about 4-5 days from telling them about the leukemia my daughter and my ex got into an arguement on the way to school, my ex spouted of to my daughter (who is a daddy's girl) then you can just go live with your dad until he dies, she did. I knew there was a serious problem as well as other problems, but I really didn't think my ex would go that low. It doesn't matter what I do to try to foster a relationship between my daughter and ex now, because it just isn't going to happen. My ex did admit to saying that by the way.

I am suing her for returning child support payments made and child support from her, however, the law doesn't really support it, technically I am only suppose to get payment from the date I filed for custody which was in October because it became apparent that my daughter would not return to her mother (that was when my daughter told me exactly why she couldn't be around her mother anymore). My point is that fathers truely have no rights, she has been allowed to take my money without having the child and make obsurd accusations against me. If I didn't make well above the average I wouldn't be able to even think of fighting her, it's just wrong and the lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank! Meanwhile, my daughter suffers, my lawyer has even mentioned the fact that this fight will most likely go right up to my daughters 18th birthday, then everything is mute. It's just not right, I didn't start this fight, my daughter came to me crying and very emotionally hurt and refuse to return home, I only want to shelter her during her last few years at home. The sad part is it will only take a judge a matter of minutes to resolve it, but attorney's can tie things up for months!!!!!!!!!

I am currently in a custody battle for my 16 year old daughter, I have learned very quickly that the laws are totally in support of the mother. She has tried every dirty and mean thing that she can think of, everything from restraining orders with no truth, to actually fighting me with my own money(her words). My daughter has lived with me since last May 2004, but yet I am required to pay child support. You cannot get an emergency hearing before the court unless the child is in some kind of danger, you cannot stop child support without a court hearing. It is obsurd!!!! The money that I am sending her mother the child will never see, we are living making every penny count while her mother lives very well, not only not contributing to the welfare of the child, but taking money from my daughter and I every week. She did loose the restraining order issue, the courts totally dismissed it, it cost her about $35 to file it, and it cost me $650 in attorney fees. I have no choice but to hire an attorney because I am a RN and we loose our license if there are any HRS or violence issues, she knew that because she's a nurse to! But to make a man's life hell all a woman has to do is say we did something, automatically it is a court matter and we have to pay to defend ourselves,, false acccusations should be met with the requirement to pay all court and attorneys fees. I am taking this garbage one step farther. I have instructed my attorney to file a liable suit for damages and costs after the custody matter is resolved. He said it was unheard of, my response was could it be done, he agreed, but he's not happy about it. Seems I am going out of traveled waters for the attorney's around here. I may be wasting my money, but change never happens until someone greases the squeaking wheel. I intend to squeak like hell.

You can buy post ban clips and mags in florida since the ban expired. Your dead right too, a gun is not a weapon until it is in a persons hands, in my case, a knife would have been as deadly as any gun, and I would have been just as dead, at the time (the part I left out) I was fighting leukemia, I wouldn't have been able to defend myself at all, it was all I could do to walk to the restuarant. You can illegalize all the guns you want, but, there are soooooooooo many in circulation already, that even if they are illegal, the criminals will still have one, even if they had to steal them from the cops! Honest people do not commit gun crimes, criminals do!!!!!!!!!1

Gun Control

Ok here's my experience. Since the age of 17 I have carried a firearm, mostly because of either being in law enforcement or due to fact that I was in law enforcement. As a licensed civilian I carried for many, many years with no need to ever think of using it. Then one night my fiance and I were going to dinner, we got out of the car in a public parking lot across a small park from a very nice and popular restuarant, within 45 seconds of leaving the car a extremly nuts man entered the parking lot screaming and pointing his finger at us, I told the man we didn't want any grief and were just on our way to dinner, before I could think twice about it he pulled a knife and started yelling "you white m********cker" and started advancing, my fiance got shoved between two cars and I drew my weapon, hammer back, luckily he surrendered, I called the police on my cell phone and they were there in 30 seconds or less, it was ridiculously fast (the police department was on the other side of the park) even with my girlfriend being a smart *ss and saying "what is there a donut shop around here or something" to the cops I was treated very fair, of course they secured me until they could get me ID'd, but as soon as they checked my credentials I was released and handing my weapon back (they did unload it). Turns out the individual who attacked us had a criminal and psych history a mile long. Had I not had a weapon I would have died that night, as well as my gf, as it turned out we were on our way to dinner in less than 30 minutes and only had to give statements to the detectives the next day. Guns don't always mean violence, sometimes they stop violence. A gun is a tool that like any other tool that is dangerous requires extensive training before handling or use. I raised 4 children, safely, but always had the resolve to keep my family safe. To sum it up, I'm glad I carry a firearm and I hope that I never have to use one on any human being because now I am a registered nurse and it totally goes against my belief to harm, but given no choice, I would use it. After the police arrested the individual and put him in the car they asked why didn't I shoot, every witness around said I should have fired, my response was it wasn't needed, there was never a doubt in my mind that I would fire if there hadn't been a reasonably fast surrender, but it was the fact that I had taken the time to train, keep myself current with use of the weapon, and enough self resolve to use the weapon as it was intended, to preserve the peace!

The hinge on the toilet seat works both way! What's wrong with screw off lids? Some of best memories were with the girl next door and a bottle of Boones Farm, course, that was a few years ago!

Hey Rheanna, I feel for you as well as your bf. I spent a long time in the army and I have to tell you that when you are shipping off to a cz the emotions are overwhelming. He may distant more out of love than anything else. Theorize this, if the road is rocky before he leaves then is something happens you are hurt less. Some times the only way to mask his true feeling are through the lens at the bottom of a bottle. I am not excusing his behavior, it is inheritently wrong, but his reasons may be more honorable than you realize. I true soldier doesn't want to kill or be killed, and, they certainly don't want to hurt bystanders. I don't know how to tell you to respond, but maybe if you have the view from a soldiers eyes you can start to understand him better. Best wishes to the both of you! Most women want chivalry, you may have found it!

How does a single father find the right person
Posted:

Very well said. My daughter will always be #1, that doesn't mean that the right woman can't be everything as well. When you have a child it is unconditional type love and since of responsibility. That child, no matter the age, looks to you as their lifeline, you are the shelter for any storm. That in itself should not compete with romantic love. I have a teenage daughter who is my world. But, she is my daughter, not my life companion. I would do anything for her as well as I would for the right person in my life. The two worlds should blend and not clash, and it can be done. My daughter would be very accepting of any woman I would choose, as long as she is good to her daddy. I just don't see were all the conflict is in choosing one or the other. Maybe it's just easier to pick a single person with no children, I don't know, but my feeling is the more people I can share my life with the better. That includes the little people!

why is it like this

Keep your friends and family as close as you can. I went through a very simular situation about 4 years ago, it has taken till now to know that I'm ok. People do horrible things. What you are feeling is the death of a relationship, it can be as bad as the death of a person. What you had was real, tangible, and your lifeline. Look at what other resources you have and seek comfort in the fact that you are ok, you are a good person, you didn't deserve this, but none the less, it happened. It takes time to recover, a little (or lot) battered and bruised but still a good person with purpose and a future. It is a shame that there are people in this world like what you just experienced, but there are a lot of good ones. Pity him, he has to sleep with himself every night! Best wishes!

My 2 Cents - Not supporting the troops BS

Joefixit-I wasn't going to respond to this creative literature but you hit the nail on the head. The masses are asses. I wish that people would educate themselves before running off at the mouth. A quote from Voltaire said it best "it is a triumph of reason to get along well with those who posses none". If people would realize that education is the key to freedom. Why is it the dumb talk the most? Maybe if they say it enough we'll believe it? Frustrating at the least.

I don't think you should take a lady out unless you intend to get her home safely. I think he was pretty lame. Old school, I know!

Why must there be Temptation?

It's a shame but a lot of people truely believe that everyone or everything has a price. They replace their soul with money or power, or both. Having an intimate relationship requires to much of them, most wouldn't even know where to start.

The American Red Cross can help you get a passport in an emergency faster and can also help as a liason with the hospital for you. My best wishes and prayers go out to you both!
