not wantng sex Posted: 7/14/2009 3:37:28 PM
Hummm.....I never had anyone tell me that. I don't think you should blame the man right away. Anything is possible of course but to assume that she is not having sex with him simply because he is no longer romancing her would be an assumption. Perhaps they are testing you to see how you respond.

OP, Obviously you have always answered his call and been an active listener. If you don't want to tell him upfront for fear of hurting him then you must have NO CONTACT with him whatsoever. Make it a little harder for him. Stop answering his calls! Definately do not return his calls because then he will think you care about him still. Eventually he will get the message and stop contacting you but if you are answering him then obviously he is getting the wrong message.

When do the bad days stop? Posted: 7/5/2009 8:15:11 PM
It'll get worst before it gets better. It takes time. Keep yourself busy. Find things that you like to do in your spare time or if not take on a new hobby. Join the gym. Exercise helps the body! You would be surprised. Read a good book. Go see a funny movie. Do not stay at home alone for too long periods without doing anything. Go see friends or family. Make new friends. Join clubs. Go to meetup.com in your area. They have alot of different topics of interest. You are adjusting. Good luck! I am sure all we be well in the end.

What to do??? Posted: 7/5/2009 8:04:18 PM
You say in your profile that you are looking for talk/e-mail. For me that says it all. I mean if you even strike some dates you're lucky because if you're looking for more than that than you should not be in the talk/e-mail category. Good luck!

Any help is appreciated. =) Posted: 7/5/2009 7:46:33 PM
OP, I think your profile is exceptional!! Your pics are good, clear and all from a different perspective or other. The only thing I would leave out in your profile would be I will admit, I am short, but I guarantee I make up for it with my personality and intellect only because you already state your height in the top part and in your description you are more pointing it out as if it would be a defect and in reality it isn't. Also in your mail settings at the very bottom you selected Age between 20 and 24 Just make extra sure that this is really the only age group you would like to get mail from. Know that if someone who is 19 or even 24 and tries to send you mail WILL be blocked off. The rest in my eyes is beautiful and your spelling and grammar is impeccable which to me is very impressive for a man!! Kudos to you!

My son wants to live with his Dad Posted: 7/5/2009 7:23:55 AM
My advice would be to let him live with his dad for one year. Leave the lawyers out of it. they will only muddle things up. Do not change or allow anyone to change his support. You are only letting him stay for an extended visit at this point. Leaving the lawyers out of it is not an option here as I have suggested this to my X. He has dismissed it. He says he doesn't trust anyone (never has). So I have no choice. The support will definately change but this does not and is not what I am concerned with. The system would never allow for me to still receive the $$ when our son is going to be in his care full time. Besides even if I tried I know he would never accept this. The lawyer and I have decided to let him (our son) go on a trial basis of 6 months. I hope only for his happiness.

My son wants to live with his Dad Posted: 7/3/2009 1:14:49 PM
First off thanks so far to everyones comments good or bad! I am taking everything in as constructive in one way or the other. Thanks also to ConsciousSoul for the advice. In reply to gadgetdoc to his question: ust a girly girl. I am curious why it has to be an all or nothing situation? Maybe the three of you should sit down and talk about this. There is no reason that he couldn't live in both places, and see you two equally. I agree that the boy needs his dad at this time, but he needs the support of his mom too. You can work around school in this way, he over nights at his fathers, at the end of the school day, or your work day which ever is later he can come to your home, have dinner etc, then at a reasonable agreed time by all parties he can go back to his dad's house. All parties win It is my son's wishes to be live with his dad at this time. We ( my x and I) have both discussed individually with our son about doing a joint thingy. I have no problem with this and neither does his father but that is not what our son wants and I don't want to force anything on him as I do not believe it to be right to force anything on him. At this moment my X sees his son every second weekend, but keep in mind everyone that since day 1 of our separation let alone divorce I have always told my X that regardless of the set visitations he could ask to see and have his children any other time. We have always had a good civil relationship because of this and I have never said No when he would call them on weekdays and pick them up for supper or keep them an extra day on holidays etc. He could call his children whenever he wants at all times and has always done so and vice versa. The children should not have to pay for our mistakes in a failed marriage. In response to camping junkie: how does he get along with his fathers g/ He gets along fine with his g/f and I have met her and believe she is a wonderful person and have told her so.

My son wants to live with his Dad Posted: 7/2/2009 9:09:53 PM
In response to conscioussoul, as I said my x just moved into a house where he is living with his new girlfriend and her 3 boys. He gets along really well with one of the boys (13 yr old) and he has mentionned to me a while back that it bothered him that his dad was spending more time with these boys and that these boys were spending time with HIS dad. I sensed some jealosy and he told me straight out that he was jealous. So according to me, he's doing this for several reasons. 1: He wants to be able to monitor the situation. 2. He doesnt have that many friends that he hangs out with here so it's exciting to be doing so many things with a boy close to his age. 3. His dad asked him if he wanted to go live with him now that he has his own home. My son and I have always had a very close relationship except in the last year. In the last year he was more embarassed about when I would drive him to school and he would have to say goodbye to me with a kiss on the cheek! Watch out if any of his buddies were looking cuz' it isn't cool. That sort of thing. He has never ever asked if he could live with his dad nor has he ever used it as a threat ever in any shape or form.

My son wants to live with his Dad Posted: 7/2/2009 5:24:15 PM
PLEASE ALL SUPPORT IS WELCOMED. Here it is: I have 2 children a girl aged 17 years old and a boy who's 14. After 14 years of having had full custody of our children. Today, was the worst day of my life after our son announced that he wanted to go live with his Dad! I have been divorced 7 years now, meaning our son was only 7 years old at the time of divorce. I was awarded full custody by my X without question. Of course, he wouldn't know what to do with them having never been there for them in the first place. Saw it in their best interest to have them stay with me but I remember like yesterday when he told our son " When you turn 13 you can come live with daddy if you want" . Always dreaded the day would come. It came! I feel devastated!! Like I have a hole in my heart. In fact, just writing this here gives me such a huge lump in my throat. I am very sad. I am sad that I have to let go! After all he is my baby. :( I will get to see him every second weekend. The father lives in another district about 20 minutes from me. Our son will be changing schools in September. I have spoken to my son and gave him my blessing. I told him that I will always love him and that I respect his decision and that he will always be welcomed here. I also told him that all I am concerned with is his health his safety and his happiness and that I am confident that he will be in good hands. His father loves him. Everything in my life will change. I will have to get accustomed to him not being here as before. I cannot invision the day he will leave!! My X had been living at his parents house for the last 7 years. He recently moved into a home which he is going to be occupying with a girlfriend that he has been dating for the last 3 years and her 3 boys aged 9, 13, and 16. When I asked our son why he wanted to move there he initially told me it was to be with the other 13 year old that lives there. I explained to him that he should not be basing his decision on this boy but rather on his Dad. I need to let him go!! I am in the process of settling all this with the lawyer and need all advice I can get in regards to all info in regards to this. If anyone has any words of advice or information I can use or similar stories to share I would be utmost grateful. Thank you

It really depends on the person. Everyone handles situations differently. You really can't judge. Just because he chose to stay away after finding out he was sick doesn't mean he cares about you less or vice-versa.

Who pays for the meal or beverage on the first date? Posted: 2/10/2008 6:58:40 PM
I'm a little old fashioned in this area and believe that a man should pay esp. on a first date, BUT there is a BUT eheh, because we are on a dating site and I know and have heard of alot of women trying to get freebies, if you know what I mean. I try to make it just a coffee or something on the first date, so that if he does wanna pay I don't feel so bad. Otherwise I always offer to pay my half. Usually, if he is a gentleman he won't allow that. You can never know though, on his past experiences with that. I wouldn't be too offended if he accepted my half of it. It's life! Too many abusers out there.

Yes, lintus out of nowhere I sprung! Boy, you sure make it sound dramatic. I guess I was trying to make friends, guys AND girls but noticed that the girls (since I had also approached another 2 girls asking them to join me and friends at the dance floor) weren't as accepting. I am sorry, I am just very open and spontaneous. Didn't want to be a bother. LOL

It's called starting over! It's been done and you can do it. Nobody said it was easy but with strength and courage it can be done! If you can, just to make it that much easier get rid of anything that reminds you of her, put it away somewhere, hide it, or just plain burn it. Anything and everything. It helps the healing heart. You will love again, once your heart has healed. All the best!

Why in the WORLD do men think I'm up for sex on the first date? Posted: 8/4/2007 7:28:16 PM
Nope, your profile seems fine to me! Maybe you can try to be a little more selective in your dates. Ask more questions before actually meeting them. Find out what it is they are looking for. I have to admit I have had some of those as well but only at the very beginning when I was more new to the dating scene. It happens. Hope it gets better.

OFFERED 5 GRAND Posted: 8/4/2007 6:39:22 PM
"Marrying for a business arrangement" Would not even consider it. Apart from the fact that money will not make a difference, the legal implications would. No one's even brought up the possible immigration consequences,plus, if your customs service thinks you married to help someone get a visa, you'll get a black mark and it may prove difficult to impossible to get visas to some countries or renew your passport, or who knows what. They interview people wanting to get citizenship here, and I'm sure other countries do as well. Customs and immigration can make your life miserable if they suspect. Anyone caught doing so can be charged under a multitude of offenses. I suspect that apart from the obvious there could be nabbed for: Intention to defraud immigration, Income derived from a criminal act, Conspiracy to import illegal immigrants and then there is the situation that half of what yours will eventually be theirs. A person will have much to loose apart from sleep in exchange for money. A can of worms that has includes gratis: a recipe for disaster. Good Luck!

Its hard to say. Your profile says your looking for friends and it also says that you prefer not to say if you do drugs That would do it for me, but then again it also depends what you are writing when you try to contact them and who you are contacting. Maybe you're just contacting the wrong women! sigh.

Your partner gets a lap dance from a stripper, is that cheating? Posted: 5/21/2007 6:24:53 PM
Lap dance? Cheating or infidelity occurs when one member of a couple secretly violates the commitment to monogamy. If your partner considers it cheating, then it probably is. But what would mortify your partner might be a-OK, or at least tolerated, by mine. Strip club + lap dance = Cheating. Sorry thats just my 2 cents worth. Great post tdh!

My New Girlfriends Nuts! Posted: 5/15/2007 7:45:54 PM
Hi there male montrealer ;) From my experience, I can say that I was a little flattered when he told me he wanted my password and would give me his. Although, when it happened......we only ended up fighting about stupidity and our own insecurities. Sometimes innocent mail from friends were read and perceived in a totally different way and that caused alot of friction within our relationship. Today I believe that an eventual loving relationship should be based on honesty and trust from the very beginning! Doing that sort of thing is being untrustworthy and controlling. In the end it is really pushing you away. The right thing to do is talk to her about it. Giving in to her insecurities by giving her your password and vice versa is not the solution. Tell her exactly how you feel. You are starting to question yourself as to where is this relationship going to take you with all this. Well why not ask her? Sometimes, we are so afraid (perhaps of losing that person..etc.) that our bodies take over our minds and we resort to actions such as that. Do not see it as the end. Nobody's perfect and she may just have had something in her past which is making her behave in this way. DO talk to her about what you are feeling. Reassure her. All the best to you guy! Take care.

Single mom 2 two boys; does it get harder as they age? Posted: 5/2/2007 6:35:08 PM
I say it doesn't get harder, it just gets different. Children have different needs at different ages. The child acting up doesn't really reflect upon the fact that they are living with both parents or not. Then again, how you handle the situation when they DO act up is another story! I am speaking from a single mom's point of view because I as well am a single mom of 2 children who are 12 (boy) and 15 (girl). Personally, what I found to be very helpful was reading books on childrearing. I also took a special class on childrearing. You could also join some groups where there are other single parents. Raising a child by yourself is not an easy task. Having the resources necessary to help you along your journey could prove beneficial, unfortunately those resources are not always a step away and you need to go out and find it. If you like you can e-mail me personally. Good Luck!

As I was reading the threads here I noticed that Lauren was suggesting winemaker to look into some hotel nearby Funkytown with cheap rates so all the feeshies can settle into that evening without having to drive back. You see....she did it again! Always tending to make everyone happy and comfortable. Incredible girl!!
