kinda seems rude in a way or maybe its just me

at least he's not ranting about what a B!tch his ex was like i see so many others do in the forums.

I kept thinking that things would work out if only he would change. Of course that is naive thinking.

I am past the point where I feel compelled to look at his pictures, read his old emails, look at his profile, etc. I actually kind of pity him now.

Thanks again for your support.

hopefully I'm diving in with eyes open.

Does anyone have any tips for me on how I can improve my self esteem? How to walk away from something when my heart still yearns? How to meet a stable partner who really does care about me?

Now if I can find someone that needs to study as much as I do, I'd do study dates the whole weekend

The problem with women is that they never stop thinking. If she doesn't know what you're thinking, she'll fill in the details herself. She will assume you're not on her mind if you're not in contact.

what does your husband do for a living?

THEY ARE NOT HAVING SEX ANYMORE. They had their fling a year ago. It's long over.

And from everything both she and him told me, SHE was the pursuer and the one who used him as her "toy" (her words, not mine).

Obviously, she still has some sort of stake in him though.

I've also WANTED to try an open relationship with this man, but HE is the one who wants to be monogamous.

Sure, I make misguided decisions sometimes, but I am not completely stupid.

I also read people pretty well, and I know this man is not a creep or a bad person. Sure, its a ****ed up situation, and he has his own issues... but who these days doesn't?

Seriously, some of the attitudes on this forum astound me.

Anyway, I'm still trying to learn from this situation.

A great-looking, successful guy can find another woman just as great, easily.

I get hit on a lot and l when i see someone interesting, I will give out their number.

These guys would then always txt me first, but as soon as I respond, they lose interest.[sic].... Is it the way that I respond that turns them off or something?

Should I play hard to get through texting?

Me personally, I like to bring flowers and take her to a fine restaurant and tell her exciting funny stories. I make her feel like shes the only woman in the room. I talk a lot.

If you wish to read more about him check out this thread.

her interest in you is super high.

And are you interested in the person that you were bs'ing with last night? If so, call her. If not, don't. Simple.

If she says, Let's go out Saturday night, and he says, Can't, I'll be drinking at the cabin, then maybe the message she is taking from that is that he'd rather drink by himself than spend time with her.

wonderingsole: My nephew being one. Some may remember - three kids three moms. He is that type of guy who does give that great first impression because he was taught bery early in life that he was good looking and he knows the drill of what to say to get you into bed. He does not respect women or even his own mother but why should he ?
There is always a woman ready and willing to be blind and stupid long enough to get them to drop to their knees or drop their pants so again why should he?

I have to wonder how many of these people would devote the same time to update the status of a close family member after death? Or to text updates re the condition of a severely wounded serviceperson?

As far as my occupation, sweetie, B!tch is less intimidating than my actual job.
