nams,

Its not that I don't want to post the "crisis" things - it is just that they usually are already done and dusted by the time a get any advice so it seems kinds pointless at times. I still post them though to keep a record and so that others may see my example and know what not to do. I could very easily not post those things and avoid the criticism but that's not really fair so I suck up the courage and post knowing full well the whacking I am about to get. Gemela and I are doing very well today. Her luncheon was a spectaculat success. Everyone raved about the food, the house, the garden, the tree house - everything. All her friends think her husband is wonderful and wish their husbands were like hers (that's no joke - they say that). If only they knew how wrong they are...

I agree that there is an in-between emotional state. I am not ready for a serious or even a semi-serious relationship, but I do want to date. I'm in a state between marriage and divorce and I don't consider myself married at this point. There are no legal repercussions in this state for me to date at this point in time.

I saw my therapist last night and he described me as a success story. I feel no pain from my marriage. I am moving on and have started a new life. I'm not like a lot of other people in that I don't hold grudges or obsess about the past. Once I obtain focus on something, I become intense about it. A good example of that is the house that I want to buy. I should be approved for a loan today. I want to get rolling on it. My therapist thought that it was significant that I was really only interested in a new house, i.e. making a new start.

We all might have different viewpoints that are colored by our own experiences and belief-systems. You may not approve of my decisions, but then, I'm not seeking your approval. I am interested in your opinions, though.

Pio, when I typed bra/restaurant, I actually meant bar/restaurant, although I can envisions a marketing campaign for the former.

Beth, I would like a dialog on dating.

Perhaps I should clear up a definition if I haven't before. I view most of my marriage as consisting of meaningless sex. When I speak of meaningful sex, I'm speaking of quality for both partners. As an adult, I don't have to restrict myself from having casual/recreational sex that could be a meaningful experience. There are a lot of people who share my opinion and a lot of them are divorced. It's truly amazing how many divorced people there are and how much of the experience is common.

I toiled away in my mariage for many years. I wasted many years of happiness and fulfilment. Life is short and I'm moving on away from how it was to how it might be.

I promise you that I will not hurt another person during this stage of my life. I have no desire to inflict pain upon anyone as the memory of my own pain is readliy accessible to me.

So far, I have dated no one. I have flirted a bit and have been flirted at. It's interesting to actually have some positive attention directed my way. I will soon be very busy purchasing and setting up a home and my time will be limited for anyone else. I will have time to reflect then when I'm on my own.

On a more general note, I react to positive reinforcment a lot more than to negativity. I've had enough of negativity, I'd rather be happy and moving in a forward direction. Onward and upward...

Hi larousse,

Anyone remember the site?

One question for Superman,

Are all dreams images?

Can we dream without images?

Since dreams come from the subconscious mind, it appears that dreams are images, or imaged based. This is just a guess however.

Why do you ask?

Hola Kiwi,

care to share more stories about your daughter's trip.
No grandaughter or son from the trip? :P


2Much,

BigK,

I hope that you were taking a shot at humor there. If not, maybe you're just a negative person. People have different styles. I prefer to be guided or nudged into the general direction that you desire rather than to be cajoled for doing something wrong in your judgement. I really hate the cliche "Walk a mile in the other man's shoes." I always thought that it was a cop-out attitude, but it can represent empathy. You're half a world away and you're not going to be able to walk a mile in my shoes.

I notice that you have a bible quote in your signature line. What would a Christian do?

booka,

I noticed this quite a lot in your thread on the EN forum. I found many examples of where someone would make a comment you found critical and you responded exactly the same way (e.g. "mile in my shoes"). I found many cases where you told posters to change their attitude. And now you are doing it here. Least common denominator dude. If I need to waste my time and go back through your other thread and post that proof here, I'll do that in defense of bigK. Don't worry about erasing any of those posts - I captured your entire thread for posterity.

Didn't know that. But I do know that my color TV technology was stolen by a Mexican when I lived in Villahermosa. He stole my VCR technology too.
