When a girl says to you: "gosh, we're not gonna see each other at all this week, I miss you!"

Things you should NOT say:
"you'll live"
"its no big deal"
"its only a week"

Acceptable Responses:
"I can't wait to see you"
"I'll miss you too"


Anyone else want to play?

From the Big Book of Things That I Can't Believe I Actually Said:

From my first, post-D "GF"...

Her: "Your life wouldn't change a bit if you never saw me again."

Me: "That's probably accurate."

Yikes.

Acceptable responses:
Anything but what I said. It's not exactly what I meant...

It's funny now...

Then: Not so much.

As someone reminded me after I broke up with BF,
"Sometimes it is addition by subtraction"
Really, there wasn't much to miss, and I gained free time.


It was a marriage that never really started.

Good topic. This should be a fun thread to track. Have a few good, related stories, but none that I recall are PG-13 or calmer! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

Don't sweat it.. I wuz gonna get some fishin in anyways.
Remember, there will be plenty of dishes for you to wash when you get back.
We will miss you also. (Don't say who we is!)


Acceptable Responses:
How can you miss me? You are taking my heart with you.
Not half as much as I will miss you.

Don't say...

"Huh?"

"You still here?"

i know i'm new but i had one thursday night and i'm pretty sure i said the wrong thing

she says "well, my boyfriend wants to get back together but i wanted to wait to hear what you thought."

i said "yeah, you should get back together with him. by the way could you have told me this BEFORE i drove 40 miles and spent 40 bucks." i then got up and went to the bathroom and text/called three friends of mine. they told me to leave her there, i didn't. because i am stupid, duh, i'm getting divorced.


I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be (my) style.

mhlb,

Thanks for asking about the lady from eharmony... Actually, we have just become friends. We do call each other and chat, email, and text message each other but I don't think it will go further. I just don't think we have the "chemistry"??? But we both are totally ok with being good friends and it nice to have someone to talk with that can relate to the tramau of divorce.

How about you? How is your love life?

hey Keith... glad you made a new friend. I am all about making new friends right now. No love life haha But I want to really get to know people, see what is out there and than see what happens. I am pretty focussed on finishing my education right now, plus I work while I go to school so my time is limited.

I am really just liking talking to all kinds of people and enlarging my friendship circle.
Thanks for asking!

mlhb


God first, family second, and all else will fall into place.
