How mature is 'the vanishing act'? Posted: 12/3/2006 5:34:25 PM
I think there are more married people on here than we care to really know. I think lots of them like flirting and are only thinking about themselves, not the time and effort they are wasting for others. It really is best that you find out quickly what jerks they are and simply move on. If they can't be mature and honorable from the beginning, who needs them. There are good ones out there, but it's a numbers game.... keep fishing til you find a keeper.....

Introducing a New Man Into My Son's Life Posted: 12/3/2006 5:09:58 PM
Go to a lawyer and get proper visitation rights. After that, I don't think there is much that you can do. You are separated and she is able to do as she pleases even if you don't agree with her new/old boyfriend. Sorry, but I can't see any other way around this except being a solid upstanding man with his sons best interest always in the forefront. I wish you well

What is fair to expect financially, when your girlfriend moves in? Posted: 12/3/2006 1:53:59 PM
The fact that you had the discussion, and you agreed on an amount and then she didn't honour her agreement says it all. Can you imagine what other agreements she may not have honoured given more time. As for how much each should pay. I think it should be on a percentage basis depending on how much each earns. I don't think it's fair if she makes 20,000 and you make 100,000, and you want to split everything 50/50. Especially when it is you that owns the house. I think it should be equitable. But again, you made an agreement, she agreed and then reneged. That's the important point.

How do you get past the anger? Posted: 12/3/2006 12:47:44 PM
The best revenge is living well. Tell your friend you don't want to hear about him or what he's doing anymore. You are hurt because you feel that you were right all along and that he loved her more than you. You are probably a tad humiliated because you loved him and know in your heart that you were more into the relationship than he was. It will get easier with time. Be thankful that an alcoholic abuser finds someone else more enticing than you. Proves you are the stronger, more stable one! She deserves him, knowing what he is, and still taking him back time and time again. I feel bad for her husband. Happy for you that he's out of your life.

what would you do Posted: 12/3/2006 12:19:46 PM
I'd move on. Some people think it's o.k. to trifle with other peoples feelings as "online" doesn't really count. From my experience, I would say his wife was probably catching on and now he's lying low. I know you want to think that something awful must have happened, because he just wouldn't do that. But 99.9% of the time, it's not that case at all. I can say this though. When and if he contacts you again, I would drop him like a hot potato. If he's done this once, he will for sure do it again!

af895's profile review Posted: 12/3/2006 12:16:43 PM
For the most part I enjoyed your profile. I think it may come off a tad cynical or barren, but that's just me, an antique collecting woman looking for a long tern relationship. I think Ayn Rand must be one of your favorite authors with her love of the austere. There is nothing wrong with your profile and you might have fewer bites, but the ones you do have will be best suited for you!

what deos it mean when......... Posted: 12/3/2006 12:10:22 PM
I don't think men are as into wordy communication as women are. That being said, if he doesn't want to talk at all, I can't imagine he cares that much about fixing it. Well, either that, or he doesn't know how to fix it, or doesn't know how to articulate it. I think you have to come at him in a way that he understands. Something that would be win/win. I think you have to express directly what it is that makes you think the relationship isn't working. ie: When we try to have a discussion, it seems we start to argue. Is there a time that we could set aside and talk about ways to solve our problem that would be best for you?

Taking On too Much?? Posted: 12/3/2006 12:06:17 PM
I'm afraid I suffer the Martha Stewart symdrome, and often think that I can do it better, faster, more complete. It's only lately that I have started realizing that I care about everything being perfect more than anyone else. I have been in bed for three days now with a pinched nerve from trying to do too much. My room is a mess, and I am trying my best to ignore it and simply play on the forums. If this is a disease, I hope there is a cure..... I'm starting to believe that we are all given so much energy to do what we need to for the rest of our lives....I may have used all mine up.

I think I like Santa with his clothes on more than with them off....does that count? LOL Actually, without trying to sound saintlike, I am more into the man himself by the time we are neked. I already have a very good idea of what I'm getting into before I'm at the point of no return. Mind you I have surprised by package size. I used to think, big nose, big hands, big feet....oh la la..... now I know it only means "clown" LOL

My Now Aggressive Dog Posted: 12/3/2006 11:56:42 AM
Wow, great suggestions! I also heard they should not sleep on your bed. This is also a way of establishing Alpha dog. I hope you're still on line, because my dog just did something she's never done. I was down having a lovely afternoon nap, when my feet felt something wet. Yep, she pee'd right on my bed! I can't for the life of me imagine why. She'd just been out before I went down for a nap. Any suggestions. Well, other than keep her off the bed., I can't imagine I'm going to trust her up there again, especially since it will take the rest of the afternoon to clean all the bedding...

Are you proud of your age? Posted: 12/3/2006 11:51:37 AM
I think that by the time you're 50, you have the face you deserve. Good living, good attitude, proper nutrition, rest and play. I'm happy I was never the "party girl," or baked in the sun. And so for that I am proud. More over, I'm happy with most of the choices I have made in life and that I feel that I am wise, kind, successful and intelligent. I'm glad I didn't waste all the years leading up to this point and have lived a productive life. Now do I wish I had all these things and the face and body of a 20 year old. .... you bet! Youth is wasted on the young!

Spitting or littering is illegal in Canada. I also understand that stealing so much as a loaf of bread is punishable by having your hand cut off!

Why do people jump to conclusions before finding all the facts out? Posted: 12/3/2006 9:12:25 AM
Maybe because they are experienced enough to have seen that red flag before. It's hard to answer that question without knowing the story behind it... ie. I was just sitting on the side of the cheap motel bed taking off my used condom when my wife walked in, eyed the two teenaged girls lying beside me and assumed the worst?!

will he ever come back Posted: 12/3/2006 9:02:17 AM
If he wanted to be back with you and the kids and give up drugs, he'd have done it. It really is as simple as that. Not easy to take the truth, but the sooner you do, the sooner you heart can start to heal and the sooner you will move on and be open to a grown up responsible relationship. I think the first time you leave is the hardest, after that it just gets easier and easier. The defination of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result every time. History is the best predictor of future events. I wish you and children and quick recovery and a brighter better future.

The fact that you've been dating for 6 months and are still on a dating site without saying that you're dating in your profile, tells me you're handling this just fine. You are doing what you want and so is she.

It's called free will. If you ask for advice and people give you the best advice that is within their realm, it's up to you to decide whether it's advice worth taking or not. Can't always shoot the messenger. But that's just me.....take it for what it's worth.

I would assume he was married, in a committed relationship, not interested, or simply out to have a good time with his friends. Then again, I live in a large city, if he's real good looking, dressed nice, smelling good, he's probably gay. Sheesh....

I think you know the answer. If it's something that you keep from you're comitted partner, it's a very fine line. On top of that, are you sure you're not hurting these other women by leading them on? Why not take all that flirting energy and use it on her. Sounds way more productive....

how do they get back in?? Posted: 9/1/2006 1:00:29 PM
Why not text her back with and out and out. Please do not contact me anymore. I did care about you, but now I don't. Too much drama. I do not want to see you anymore. It may seem abrupt or brash, but I don't think this girl will get the message easy. I think she is a pro at this. You need to concentrate on healing yourself. Go out, leave the cell phone behind. Get back with your friends and your family. They will support you, believe me, they want to help you get away from this girl. Sometimes it's hard to get over a person like this, because they are professional at getting what they want, when they want. You already have a child, who needs another....Be strong, stand up and get rid of the door mat attitude. It's time!

When you go to your "sent messages" it will say if the other person has read/unread or read and deleted. If you go to contacts....you can see everyone you've ever had contact with and view all correspondence. If you add someone to favorites you can see when they were last on, and the same for you if they've added you. So, I wouldn't be upset about people clearing out their emails, they are just being organized and tidy. Whew! Play with the buttons....they won't hurt you!

Never had it happen so far....but I ask you, how do you find out if they are really single? I know some things to look for, like do they call you from their home phone, are they willing to show you their drivers licence, but even that doesn't mean all or anything. How can you tell? What is it o.k. to ask? How do you know they are telling the truth?

Calls when he says he will Makes you feel like you're the only woman he's interested in when he's out with you Doesn't flirt to an obnoxious level. Being nice to someone isn't flirting. Engages in lively conversation Laughs easily and readily Opens doors, walks on the right side. Affectionate without being gropey (sic) Treats for the date - especially before they are an actual couple Dresses appropriately for the date Does not have anger issues towards her or others Takes her desires into consideration. Shows up on time. Knows how to take initiative.

But then again, there will be people who are completely entraced by your new born. I think it's more that they know that at this point in your life, he will be all comsuming. I think also they cannot believe that a mother would walk away from her child at two weeks old and never come back into the picture again. Who does that? Your baby is beautiful....really quite stunning. I think you should put a picture of yourself instead though....unless of course you're simply looking for a mother for your baby.

When SINGLE means DATING? Posted: 9/1/2006 6:32:10 AM
If the choices were simply single, married, divorced, separated or widowed, then technically, if you've never been married, you're single. But on this site they do include dating, so when I'm dating someone in particular, I will change it to dating. I think it's only fair to be completely upfront. Why waste anyones time. It's amazing how many emails I still get saying I read and liked your profile and would like to get to know you, even though it says, dating....and .....just here for the forums.

Ummm, you let them back in. Only you can decide when enough is enough. I wouldn't want this person around my friends or family and especially not my child. The sooner you stop replying to her the sooner a more suitable romantic parnter will be able to enter your life. Stop allowing an immature, jealous control freak to rule your life and that of your loved ones. Anyone who throws drinks at another person is not mentally stable in my eyes. You want that for your life? Move on.....

The guy that turned a red paperclip into a house through trading up and up is the only one I know who has turned basically nothing into something rather quickly. Other than that lotteries, but George Orwell told us back in 1948 that the government would set them up to keep the poor man hopeful. Seems to be working. Hard work, focusing on the prize and never giving up are the only things that have ever worked for me.
