why do people cheat

Maybe knowing why someone DOESN'T cheat is more important to choosing future relationships. It seems to me there would be fewer factors involved. You know, accentuate the positive, and all that. That is a good idea; Iām going to make that a resolution. But does anyone know the answer? |

Maybe knowing why someone DOESN'T cheat is more important to choosing future relationships. It seems to me there would be fewer factors involved. You know, accentuate the positive, and all that. 2X There are so many positive reasons not to cheat. So many negative reasons to cheat. Hi there ho there Lee! I may have just inducted you into the Musketeers there. As a former member of that esteemed club, I'm fairly certain I am not vested with that authority. Sorry to disappoint. Hmm, you lost my little male mind there? You brought me flowers and brilliant smile but then...argh. I'm so confused! OMG...autocorrect changed Mousketeers into Musketeers. Hey there, Hi there Ho there...it's from the Mickey Mouse Club. It was supposed to be funny. |

I feel the same. I started out felling like it would be the height of rudeness not to respond to every...hi...hey there...what's up? It didn't take long before it became too much like work and I decided that no answer IS the answer. I still feel rude sometimes, but...hi...hey there...what's up?...are not exactly messages steeped in etiquette themselves. So...

Don't wait for him to give you a special day. Give him a special day. Show him what you'd like to see restored to your relationship.
Also, seeking male friendships online is not going to help your relationship any. |

Love vs Money

Love doesn't require money. It's feeding and housing them and caring for their health and education which require money.

just a new dating site to join ... while you may be on all the rest that are free... any particular reason why ... for me... what came first... I saw they had forums ... not to insult anyone I was told about the forums by a friend by an ex member. She was right about the nice people and funny, if not fun, topics. You guys are cracking me up. |

On a broad view...If we're constantly learning and improving from our mistakes, think of all we would lose if we ever reached the peak of perfection. There would be no need for dreams or aspirations, for necessity and invention, or drive and competition. I can't even imagine what we would find to do with ourselves?
Narrower view...When it comes to individuals, isn't it our imperfections that make us unique? I've found as many imperfections endearing as not, and very few reach the level of extremes. Radical view...Apply Yin and Yang to Perfectionism and wherever perfect good existed, there would be an equally perfect form of evil. And no one wants to see that. |

Dating with depression
|
|
I encourage anyone battling depression not to try to find happiness through romantic partnerships but within themselves. Not to say one shouldn't date, but not to hang hopes of feeling better on another's ability to make them feel good. It won't feel like it at the time, but is a bandaid that could inflame the wound if suddenly ripped off.
My sister battled depression for a number of years. One of the most helpful exercises she depended on to reach the other side was to choose something about her day to write a short paragraph about,only using positive words. It could be as simple as a beautiful flower she saw in the courtyard at lunch, or as uplifting as an act of kindness she witnessed that touched her. If it sounds too silly and simple to be effective, keep in mind that the re-conditioning is in the process of seeking, discovering, and acknowledging just how much good surrounds us on a daily basis, pulling the mind back from the dreary dirt road it's been traveling and back to Positive Boulevard. Whatever you do, I wish you the best. I know healing will not be an easy path, but so many have come through it, I am certain that you can too. |

Relationship and money

This very old and very common worry, is almost always much more subtle and involved than it is made out to be. It's almost never as simple as "either she'll take me exactly as I am, or she's a gold digger." Wealth is directly connected to lifestyle, and thereby to what a persons daily life consists of, in the smallest of ways. It determines what kind of other people are going to live around you. It determines what you can and can't indulge in, even for small entertainments. It even decides what diet you can and can't consume. That kind of stuff means that basic compatibility is what decides things. One other point, is that lots of people seem to cling to the idea that love is a magic force, because it does feel so wonderful, and because people who love, do so often do great things for each other. But love is not something that is a part, and separate from the people who experience it, it IS the people themselves. It doesn't guide, it doesn't decide, and it certainly doesn't change a person's basic needs, concerns, or life goals. So to expect the fact that someone really does love you, to cause them to become someone else entirely, is unrealistic, if not self-defeating. Yes. And I highly recommend financial discussions and possible counseling to any couple prior to merging their finances. While it's perfectly lovely for one party to agree to adopt a more modest lifestyle for the partner they love, bigger differences can bring a lot of grief into the relationship or even destroy an entire family. Bringing sizable debt into a relationship could effect your partner's financial ability to continue running a previously successful business, take away the financial security they've struggled their whole life to build, destroy their child's college opportunities, or even rob them of their ability to provide the most basic needs for their children. The later are obviously the most extreme cases. But I know I could not do that to someone I care for, and certainly don't relish the idea of it happening to me. |

I think I read somewhere that trying to make the wrong person right for you is the #1 cause of divorce.

I think it depends on whether your mind or your hormones are in control at the time.

Sorry for your bad experience. I can't help but be offended for you. This happened to a friend of mine with a man she met in a bookstore. He asked her out to dinner and seemed to be enjoying himself. At the end of the night, they exchanged numbers and she never heard from him again. I thought it was terribly rude behavior! Why can't these "ghost" types pick up the phone and say..."I had a nice time, but just didn't feel any spark." Is it really such a hardship to show a modicum of courtesy? I find the common, modern approach to "communication" via no response is horrible. I cannot stand business folks with this approach. The business I am in major efforts are undergone via email. I abhors sending emails to someone and no response. All emails sent aren't always received...Duh. I was set up by business associate years back with his Niece. He told me he thought maybe great future for us. Debbie and I spoke few times on phone. We decided Uncle might be onto something and we should meet. Met gorgeous Lady... Debbie. Wow. We went to casual dinner. Then walk around lake I lived on. We saw a rat running around while we carefully looking for alligators. Bit of fun regarding. Then a few days later I called Debbie and told her I had great time and hoped to see her again soon. She said yes...she felt same. She said her friend had broken her arm and Debbie would be tending to her next week or so. After that... good to go and give her a call. About week later I called Debbie and left her voicemail. No call back. I called again few days later... answering machine. Again, she didn't return call. Sometime later I saw Uncle and he asked me how things were going with Debbie. I told him what occurred. I told him she is really nice and thanks. He said she had told him she liked me also. I told him she knows my # and my intentions. He wasn't real happy with results either. I obviously have wondered if I should have been more persistent. I guess so. Sorry for your experience. Maybe some people just can't explain their feelings so don't even try to. |

Nope...I wore out on Frozen a long time ago. Besides I was raised on Snow White and Cinderella, so those are what I know by heart.
