Thoughts and prayers! Such good news

I miss huge make out sessions

still_lost; I have no answers as unfortunately I feel the exact same way. I'm counting down only 4 years till mine go off to university and 4 years after that to starting their own lives. Focus is so tough for me too, I feel like I'm just going through the motions.

MrsT. So many hugs. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how hard it is thinking the what ifs. And I'm sorry tomorrow will be the same. HUGS

Widowat ... I think I need a hot tub

TTS ..... perfect and I agree I need lots and lots of repeat hugs

haha Captains Wife....I'm not sure that counts as a legitimate dating vent when the rest of us can't get any....... But seriously that would drive me crazy

I'm going to play devils advocate. I DON'T ever want to remarry EVER. I have issues surround step families and blending and a host of other issues. But I do think I will eventually be ready for a committed relationship. I don't think the one is any more or less of a commitment. I have seen a huge number of marriages dissolve into hatred and animosity and horribly situations. I have seen committed loving relationships without marriage going on for years. Mizpah, I can completely understand why this hurts though. My only advice, I'm not in your situation, but maybe step back and see if it is that he isn't commitment or just a lack of wanting the paper? Unfortunately, only you can answer if it will be enough and I'm so sorry you are going through this. Now I will also say knowing how I feel, I had an ex try and get back together with me awhile ago, but knowing he has always, will always want a marriage, I turned him down (although he hasn't given up ) because I don't think its fair to him,

Is it wrong that a high school ex wants to have drinks saturday and all I can think about is a hug? In my vagina? With his penis?

I can relate Trying. My dad passed away in January I am struggling dealing with the continuous detailed grieving of my siblings. especially since they couldn't be bothered with him in life.

The one time finishing last is a good thing

I firmly believe nice women do too :-\

Sending hugs, love and support!! Will keep you and your son in my prayers

Fuck that they are renovating my grocery store and a 5 minute in and out trip for milk and chicken just took 1/2 hour Fuck that the grocery store is still a huge horrible place to go

Jen; I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I get it. Year 2 seems so much worse for me; I feel adrift, no direction, no desire to find one. Hollow. So, yes to me it makes sense. But remember you aren't alone. You've got people here that get it. That get you. I don't have any answers but just wanted to let you know I'm here. I'd love to offer more than that, but I haven't found it yet either. Big hugs. Nic

I'd rather work too. I did host Easter here with friends. Actually I made no plans at all and ended up with a houseful of people all weekend. I need a break now

Congrats!!!

Maureen for the win. I like that idea

Tatiana; I know it seems as if you are stuck; and I don't agree with the people that think we ever "get over" or" move on" I do know life has change in the most unimaginable way. And it does get easier. I don't understand and hate when people tell me "how strong" I am....I wasn't, you weren't given a choice. One day at a time. Hugs

Big huge hugs I have no advice but what the others have said. Follow your heart. The newspaper people may have an idea to the wording though

Just this

Tormented....This thread is the extent of my sex life too. Don't stop hehe

Needy....Different stages? Because of a funeral and a cold? Sounds like the guy has no sympathy to me .... I wouldn't reply or would just go with "good luck" Tormented....I had a an ex (from high school) that did the same thing...."you just need time" I felt horrible, I was honest. I mean he was an ex for a reason and unfortunately time didn't really change the reasons why we weren't a romantic match to begin with. We are still friends but I get the vibe every now and then that he thinks if he waits long enough I'll be "ready". I vote for honesty.
