If it should be someone that I care about deeply they are treasted the same as family, and will hear it every chance that comes around.

I would have a Victorian garden

He was raised by his "dad" until a DNA test some 14yrs later (by sheer coincidence) proved he was not the son his dad! His real dad had just died a year earlier!

His "DAD" died of depression 2years after he found out that he was duped. His biological dad is still fuming at the mum that he lost so much of the boy's life. He as yet is unable to form a proper relationship with his biological dad. He even moved closer to his biological dad's town 5 years ago (after his first break-up) to try to facilitate this

The biological dad was a twin and YES he died a year earlier but his surviving brother is doing his best to stand in as a biological dad now.

How the I balance being open with having good boundaries?
Should I stop being concerned about the nut cases that approach me and just chalk it up to some energy/body language thing I send out without knowing it?
I don't want to!!!!

I dunno ameerra...you cannot have your cake and eat it too....just a thought

My sisters all behave this way, they will engage in the most self-defeating, self-abusive behavior and turn around and come on this forum, for example, and tear into a woman who posts about being abused about how stupid she is -- I'm serious!!!!
One of my sisters is a nurse the other is a Social Worker, when I hear them giving advice to their clients or distant acquaintances I always silently wonder at the depth of their denial, and I think to myself, Boy, if this person only knew who they were talking to...

We're talk three months into the relationship here. Not 3 dates!

"little Weiner Dog"

Spiff up your profile

Heey, mine's already pretty spiffy!

Ok how to I get him to see that he does love me

...and confronted her about it...

I'm a woman and I have absolutely NO problem in helping to pay for going out. My money's just as good as his and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether I view him as a gent or not. It's just simply doing my bit and NOT taking advantage of him because he's a man.

"You can only smoke if you're a smoker. Non-smokers will be levied a tax."

............tell me this was not ACTUALLY said/put in print somewhere??

If you sit back and think of it, that's a huge responsibility. Not only that but the best privilege that you will ever have in this life.

Getting rid of the need to be loved gets rid of neediness.
Getting rid of the neediness gives us confidence, so we can be more selective and exit relationships when they are not working out.

or is everyone being set up for something at the end of the month? Marcus does have a sense of humour.

Social protest.

It's mostly a male delusion that what they're packing....is of any interest to anyone else but them...

If a person lives in a small town and they have potentially exhausted the potential of meeting a mate with the single people in their town or area, they may HAVE to look further to meet someone. That would suck lol.

If the mother (paraphrase:/father) is willing to divide the children as a means to conquer, let her. There will be a time when it will come back to haunt her. In the meantime, work on your relationships with the kids.... let her dig her own grave.

I didn't say that not voting is good, I just said that I understand when some people don't bother to vote.
