love and relationships

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It is difficult. I play PC games and usually RTS, in which case I'm usually DYING to get back to the pooter all the time. This time I've gone for the more laid-back route of adventure gaming - Neverwinter Nights, to be precise. More of a thinky-game, and less the kind of kill-em-up that leaves you a bit tetchy and psychotic afterwards. Hence, happy families. And you can mull over how to solve the latest riddle while you're feeding your squawking kiddy etc.

Yes. I know a hell lot about leaving, would like to know more about staying, though. :wink:
Well I don't know much about neither. All I know is how to survive in this strange limbo.
BTW, Emma, did you get your things sorted yet?
Remember: The love to yourself should always be bigger than the love to somebody else.
12 steps? :lol: Sorted? I don't know. I love myself. I love my cats and my dog too.
(I wish I could help you more, than just give smart aleck (voc?) advices. :( )
I think you're very nice.

@Ocean Moves: I don't know. From my experience the only advice I can give to you is to stay away from it all. It's easier to stay away than to get away when things go wrong. But that's just my own experience, the world is sooo full of happily married couples that I must be wrong.

Remember there's plenty of wrecks on the seabed. Not just the shiny wreckage in the harbour for tourists to visit.

I knew straight away but he took some persuading - he was still sowing his oats :lol:

But I also know that it is different in each and every case - so go with how you feel :D

Somehow I feel more alone when I have company.

I must do something about my superiority complex, before I turn into an uber-goth.

Understood/agreed. Unfortunately, being utterly alone means no snuggling, no cuddling, no snogging, and no *ahem* various assorted naughty things, either... :cry: :von:

He's on World of Warcraft while I'm on here!! We're in the same room, sharing conversations about what we are up to, having a good drink and no rows about the fact that he's spent 3 hours on the computer (cos so have I) - sorted
Thank you, one and all.

I'm happy where I am (and so's he *kicks him under the table to elicit a positive reponse* :twisted: ).


i made sure he sowed his oats in ONE field
Good for you ;D (must say though.......I wasn't interested in the oats :!: )
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

Just get another cat. Two cats are better than one cat and one human.

... I'm afraid, but my cat isn't so keen on any (younger) competitor... He reigns his empire rigorously and defends it by all means...

Love seems to have a habit of creeping up on you when you least expect it. It can also have an equally nasty habit of making you contradict yourself in very short order.

Within weeks of starting to go out with my future wife I had informed her that I did not believe in marriage - being a bit too close to ownership of another person, and if I ever did get married it certainly wouldn't be in a church.
Naturally, almost two years to the day we were first introduced I was standing at the altar waiting for her to walk down the aisle.
She was forty-five minutes late, but everything's been fine since then.

One piece of advice for those that do decide to tie the knot - be selfish - it's your day, not any of the respective parents. Have the marriage that you want. If your family loves you they will forgive you almost anything.
I should know, having booked the Smurphs as my wedding band!
You are what you drink - I'm a bitter man!
