thanks

You are so

ummmmmmm

transformed from the insecure unhappy woman of awhile ago

I am so pleased for you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I always thought your faith would carry you through the really hard times.

Know what is funny to me about all of this discussion? (you know me ... I find humor in strange places)

If we limit the dating pool to ~only~ people who have NEVER cheated (not even 15-20 years ago) .... guess what? ---> the dating pool is now teensy-tiny <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> LOL

What is the latest statistic? 50-75% of men have cheated? Somewhere around there. And, sadly, women are fast approaching that level themselves.

If I died ---> my H makes a fantastic husband for anyone willing to take a risk on a former WS. LOL ,,,, HE'S ALL MINE NOW! Hands off ladies <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

LOL

Let us know when you are gerring REALLY serious about anyone.

Love ya LordsLady. God bless.

hmmmm... you explicitly stated that Tree was encouraging another MBer to violate her marriage vows. I don't see that in this situation at all. I'm not exactly comfortable with the way you are reading so much into Tree's words - as if you know exactly what was going through her head at the time she said them. Granted, I don't read what everybody writes everywhere else on the forums, because I'm pretty much past the stage of needing support for infidelity or divorce, but I haven't seen the Tree you've described in the Tree that posts here.

Still, it's not up to me to defend others... So, if Tree doesn't have a problem with what you have to say about her, then I'll just leave it be.

BTW, what is it that draws you here to our After Divorce forum, Pep? You're not divorced and looking.

No <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I sure am NOT either of those things ....

I was looking at a slow board, and I hit "active topics" .... which I occasionally do.

And I see a thread by my old buddy Jo (Resilient) ... so I am curious about what she is up to .... and that's how I landed here throwing out my opinions all over the place.

And yourself? Surely CrystalSinger is not your original name with under 20 posts to your credit? You post like an old-timer <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're right, I'm not a newbie. I recently realized that some of the real people in my life who I may reference in my posts just MIGHT come and visit here sometime (I've talked a lot about MB and how valuable the forums have been to me in the past) and I'd rather they not know who I am right off the bat. My old id was a bit too easy to guess, so I chose a new one.

Thanks for the concern Pep.
I'm not a sensitive person who gets hurt feelings.
I just chose to stay away from a couple of these posts because the responses irked me. I decided to come back and explain my position.

I was really happy to see this new board, but kinda disappointed to see divisions happening.

I hope that other people don't feel as unwelcome.

Pep,

Good observation and one in which I am glad you brought up for the other's.It's one small aspect,for me,that rings true.Not just what I said before.It's more about what *I* feel comfortable with in another relationship,should I have it,then blaming or condemning anyone for their past or any holier than thou perception.

Also,the part about *failing yourself.Knowing what you can and are willing to handle and that which you cannot/would/should not.

I wouldn't date anyone in their 60's either.Not something I feel good about or want in my life.Should everyone 60 and older be offended? I hope not.It's just not right for ME.


O

I will be 60 in 4 years ... if you and I are going to date, we better get a move on !

LOL
