Both are very, very painful, without a doubt.

In my mind, I think the betrayal is (only slightly) more painful. Here you've put your faith, trust, love into this person who throws it to the ground and stomps on it. Whereas if you're alone (as painful as it is), there's a chance you'll find someone to be happy with.

Yup, hopefully that would first be YOURSELF.

Krazy,

Here is the "old fella" 2L saying Krazy things like And you think you are Krazy?????

Actually 2L if there weren't soo many trees around my house, we would have decent viewing and I would get my old telescope out, but I ain't gettin into that full fledged scope thing. It is too rich for my blood and it would cut into me buying new golf clubs and a screamin PC to do better caluclations with.

JL

hah, 2Long and I do those screaming calculations in our haids...

Or is it our screaming heads when we calculate... I forget...

Saves $$ for our other addictions, err, hobbies in any case.



Kzy, how are you doing?

Both suck but I'd imagine that being alone would be worse. Children, family and friends can bring joy and happiness to a person but I think 99.9% of people want a mate to share their life with. I bet if you asked people who have been alone for whatever reason that they wish they had a chance to fill the emptiness in their lives. Betrayal is horrible but the prospect of being completely alone in the world seems beyond horrible. Just my 2 cents.

When is Dexter coming back on?

> that crusty old dude will have you spending all sort of money on astronomy.


Or VWs.

Trust.

> I'd imagine that being alone would be worse.

See?

I don't think so anymore. I'd much rather be alone than with someone who injected misery in my life, then couldn't fix themselves.

But this is from the gal whose been cooped up with 4 kids made of superball rubber for 9 days.

So there you go.

9 days? I'm sorry LOL

It's a matter of perception probably. Lonely people would likely want what they don't have and don't have the betrayal to factor in. Betrayed people may typically think there is no greater hurt, loss, etc so they would want to avoid the betrayal and opt for being alone. But just like so many of us never knew how painful infidelity was until it exploded in our lives the same might be true of feeling completely alone.

When I saw that movie Castaway with Tom Hanks I thought existing by yourself without a soul in the world would be terrible. Yeah one can appreciate nature, simple joys, and being happy that they are even alive but I would think the emptiness would be overwhelming most of the time. I know the movie is set with an extreme situation of being alone in every sense of the word which wouldn't normally happen. I

I'm not sure if Krazy's idea of completely alone included no relationships at all or just romantic ones. But I've seen people that are alone and it is very, very sad.

I'm just taking one day at a time.

I think Dexter comes back on this fall.

I meant really alone, as in nobody to share personal thoughts and feelings with.

>9 days? I'm sorry LOL


Totally said tongue in cheek (lol).

>I meant really alone, as in nobody to share personal thoughts and feelings with.

Is this a "forever" kinda thing you feel, Krazy?

Cos, there ain't no permancence in life, dude. The fact that you are breathing in and out guarentees there will be change.

To ASSume that this will be all there is to it, is fatalistic and wrong-o. Nothing ever stays the same, my friend, and if you don't like it now, just breathe in and out for awhile - it'll change.

BTW - yes. In MY world, everyone is a pony and eats butterflies and poops rainbows.

Dexter should be year round.

Being really alone...I think would be worse. But unless you are in an extreme situation like being stuck on an island, you will have some form of human contact and like D-de said life is ever changing. I would think that there is someone out there to share personal thought and feelings...whether you seek this person out or you just come across that person. You share these things with us here to a certain extent. IRL is there no one to share your thoughts and feeling with at the moment? Maybe but that doesn't mean there can't be someone unless you choice to close yourself off from the possibility.

D-de...you just gave me a visual of OW that I'm sure was not what you intended when you said that.

Prolly not...cos in that same world, all OPs poop razorwire... :MrEEk:
