  1. Factotum- Charles Bukowski I'm still trying to figure out exactly why a certain someone would recommend this to me. Unfortunately I can't leave something unfinished, so I'm getting through it.
  2. The thing here is you're not thinking about yourself. I think a lot of people are concerned about having to grow old by themselves with no one to look after them. Just like you may have to look after your boyfriend, someone will probably have to look after you once you become immobile or ill. There are always nursing homes, but they don't offer the same sort of emotional support that spouses typically do. It's also one of the reasons a lot of people want kids. If their husband/wife dies early, then they have kids to look after them in old age. I'm not saying what you've said is invalid because I'm potentially going to be facing a lot of the same issues myself (though perhaps not to the same degree). It doesn't mean I'm against large age gap relationships either. I just think you need to see where people are coming from and why they may say the things they do.
  3. Ha! I usually pick up on that before I post on an ancient thread. It got me this time.
  4. Make sure you use a good quality new blade. Shaving cream is good, but you really should follow with a moisturizer for sensitive skin. Also, try to only shave once every 2nd day. If you're doing it every day, then your skin might not have time to recover.
  5. It was me who thinks they're trashy. I thought the original poster asked for our opinions. I gave mine and you are free to give yours.
  6. I don't like tats very much. Where I grew up only the nasty trashy people had them (especially females). They have bad connotations for me. I wouldn't get one in a million years. I also would be reluctant to date somebody with one. Of course, each to their own.
  7. So, I haven't posted on here for a while. I guess I didn't want to throw anyone off balance while I got in contact with the ex, but I really feel like posting again. Here's the story since then: I did about 17 days no contact and then my mom encouraged me to call him because she thought it was mean to ignore him. I had told him prior to that 17 days that we should do no contact for a while. He respected that and didn't try to call or anything, but told me he was there if I needed him. So, last friday (the 7th), we talked on IM, then he called me that night. We talked for hours and he was SO sweet. Just amazing. He told me how much he still cares about me and how he wants to get back together, but he knows it's not right at the moment because we need to get healthy. I told him everything that was going on in my life. Then I called him on the Sunday and we chatted for about an hour or so. It felt great. He then called me on Wednesday and again last night. We chatted for hours- it was like old times. We decided that we are going to meet up next weekend for lunch. I know we won't be getting back together again or anything like that, but I think I'm ready to start a friendship with him. I haven't seen him in over 2 months and I can't wait. I know it could be emotionally painful, but I really think I can handle it. I'm not crying anymore and I'm not hurting anywhere near as much. I do want him in my life-even if it's just as a friend. So, what do you guys think?
  8. This post is ancient. I think the original poster has moved on.
  9. Good for you lexion! You did the right thing.
  10. I'm so glad my ex doesn't have either one. That would have driven me insane. I would advise deleting them. If in the future you feel ready to contact them, then you could always add them again.
  11. No, we broke up 2 months ago, but we've had NC for 17 days until now. I was the one who broke it. I'm not sure I will ready until one of two things happens. Either we get back together or he tells me there is no chance we will get back together. I don't think I can start dating while he is still in my heart. It's great that you are doing NC. I definitely don't think this past 17 days has been a waste for me. It really helped me. I feel a lot stronger now. I think after we have a talk tonight I will go back to NC so I can further my healing.
