@OP, I kind of agree. All this long dating and picking and choosing and loooove business is overrated. How many couples break up after dating for years only to marry other people soon thereafter. One of my instructors was an Indian woman that had an arranged marriage. They were happy together, even over 25 years later. She said that they had no unrealistic notions of true love and compatibility, and that family compatibility and prayer played a greater role. Also when divorce isn't something that is an option you can be satisfied with what you have. I'm not pushing arranged marriages but I think that the divorce rate comes from the fact that people these days suffer from chronic dissatisfaction, instead of having an attitude of gratitute. For example, teens often spend years wishing they were older and trying hard to appear more grown up, only to find that being a 'grown up' isn't all pure fun like they imagined and that it would have been better that they enjoyed their youth instead of wasting time coveting something that they couldn't even comprehend. I think life is like that. |
omicron:I guess the time to tell her would be now, since he is in love with her and is planning to marry her. The sooner he tells her the better. Check out the 'adoption or sperm donor' thread in the family section. The woman who started the thread is coming from a different place since she is already married, but she is sticking by her man. I'm sure that the girl would appreciate knowing as far in advance as possible so that you both could plan a strategy for dealing with the situation. The deception by omission is far worse than the infertility. He should just sit her down and be real, telling her that there is something that is haunting his mind and he needs to know if she will stick by him. He should tell her the news and see how she reacts. If she rejects him based on this issue then he is better off without her. There are plenty of women who would look past his problem. Modern medicine makes it possible to overcome this with some time and patience. Also adoption is an option. |
Wowww, yeah the video should speak for itself. |
"The 80/20 Rule is simple. In a healthy relationship, you get about 80 per cent of what you need/want from your partner. They are caring, respectful and share a lot of the same interests as you, but then you meet someone who catches your attention for an unknown reason. It may well be because they fulfill the missing 20 per cent in your relationship – namely the sexual component. Because that 20 per cent has been missing for so long, you quickly conclude, “Hey, this person has everything I am looking for in a partner.” This can be a relationship killer. Since you jump genitals-first for this new interest, you may have given up your 80 per cent loving partner for a 20 per cent fling. The regret automatically sets in. During the good times in a loving relationship, the other 20 per cent doesn’t really matter because you don’t notice it missing. You are content and fulfilled with your partner. Your 80 per cent feels like 100 per cent. When you are in an argument, however, because your partner is too messy or something petty, then the 20 per cent is tossed into the limelight. This isn’t to say that you should stick with the current, thankless partner. You might only be getting the 20 per cent in the relationship, anyway. In this case, if you are truly miserable, maybe you should shop around. The point is to look at your relationship and really question if something substantial is missing. If this is the case and you feel unsatisfied, then move on and find someone who can offer you more. Remember, a key element to any relationship is honesty – not just to your partner, but yourself. The 80/20 Rule explains some of the mysteries of relationships. It makes sense why cheaters go after the 20 per cent while trying to hold on to the other 80 per cent. The relationship crush (when you are in a loving relationship but have a crush on the local barista) often manifests because you see the other 20 per cent in the crush. And even the “players,” who jump from one 20 per cent adventure to another in a vain attempt to eventually equal 100. If your relationship is going through a rough patch, think about the 80/20 Rule. Before switching partners, be careful since you might be giving up more than you think. First look at what you have instead of focusing on what is missing. Just remember, don’t throw away a good thing for a piece of new ass. We don’t need the divorce rate to inflate anymore." http://travismagazine./2009/02/10/why-we-cheat-the-8020-rule/ |
Prioritize! Imagine the damage you will do to your kids. Also, you will have to support 2 households, and another man's kids. Your children will hate you for leaving their mom, because they have grown up with both parents in the house. Think about this woman, she is willing to cheat with you and she will cheat on you as well. She has no pride in herself to want a married man. |
How would he know? Is it routine to get checked for this randomly? Anyways, you two should both go for medical and fertility tests prior to getting married, so I would say after the engagement. If the guy knows it's a high chance that he has a problem in this area he could improve his diet or whatever and retake the tests again. I've heard that these things could be temporary. ![]() |
Leave Pierce alone, lol. Rondo went out fighting, even with a dislocated elbow. I mourned for a little while. Now I'm just praying that the Heat don't make it. How was your trip? |
I don't remember. But, since yours has RESERVED stamped on it, I'll pass. [size=3pt]For now anyways.[/size] My celtics went down too. |
Look who's back! ![]() |
hunkyjohn:Seconded. |
I would still go and show him support. More than likely he didn't want to invite you directly, but he told his fiance to invite you. I have an ex that I'm still cool with but I wouldn't go out of the way an invite him to my wedding. I woudn't want to take the chance that it would be uncomfortable. He would probably show up anyway and I would be happy that he was supporting me. I think he would be happy if you went, and you would have a nice time. |
You are still young, no rush to get married. However, if you are waiting for the perfect senario you will be waiting forever. Like others have said, you are blessed with a better salary than many people see, so be happy where you are. Be single and content and if you find the right person, go from there. By the time you meet the right woman you have to get to know her and really find out if she is the right one for you so you wouldn't get married overnight anyway. Enjoy your single life and be happy where you are first. |
It depend on how much his money is a part of what thrills her, and if the money continues to flow. |
AlbLin: ![]() At least you have the satisfaction of knowing that they will regret it and it and the hardship your daughter will go through will be worth more than any advice you could even give her. She will grow out of this situation. Also, don't support them financially at all. They don't see this as that big of a deal, then it should mean that they have the means to fully support themselves. For the children, send things, not money and turn a deaf ear to any monetary requests or complaints coming from the newlyweds. Don't withdraw your emotional support or love. Life will soon teach them the lesson that they need to learn. @Topic, I thik it's a bad idea in the vast majority of situations. |
Does the guy support the plans that she has? Have you checked his full background? Do you know about his personality? If the business fails tomorrow I hope he has the ability to handle himself, and I hope your sister will not take it badly. What does he expect of a wife? If he wants a housewife and your sister is passionate about being a career woman, there will be problems. Likewise if it's the other way around. Also, this guy is almost 10 years older and I can't help to think that he is cutting her life short in a major way in terms of maturity and development. She may feel like her youth has been cut short, especially if children come right away. I would extensively observe the two together. Tell the guy you need some time to process the request (like a month) and see how he reacts. Tough, tough situation. I'm leaning towards letting her go ahead. |
(If the name calling incident was the first time you noticed this side of him, it could just be a trust issue, but if he doesn't trust you he should leave before mistreating u.) He's not the only guy in the world. Find someone who will treat u with kindness and respect. If u don't want to be alone, stay with this guy. But I would suggest that you keep your eyes and ears open at the same time and make friends with other guys that come to you. Until the wedding day you still have the option of finding someone else that you want to be with. |

Sex! ![]() |
Naominna:True, I wouldn't trust him in that regard either. If he raises the issue let him know that taking the child isn't up for discussion. Period. Then move on the next point that you have. I would suggest writing out a list of concerns so that you don't get sidetracked and you always have something to refer back to. Try to refriain from an emotional display because you may lose your cool. Don't be afraid, you have spent the last 15 years of your life catering for your son all alone. That requires tremendous strength and I really admire you for keeping it all together. Some women would have pushed the child on someone else, or worse resented the child and not cared about what he was doing with his life. Draw on the strength that you have been forced to aquire over the years. Your son's father may have been abusive and he may have mistreated you in the past, but don't revisit the hurt and fear of the past. You are a different person now so don't feel intimidated. |

[quote author=Shy-One link=topic=672632.msg8367005#msg8367005 date=1305995567]@ OP smh Even Hell has taken out a restraining order against you. You are an accountant who cannot even account for your own actions. A kite flying f.ool.[/quote] ![]() OP, you should't have let the actions of your previous gf put you in this predicament. Now, you will do the same thing to one of these poor girls, and the cycle continues. You are even worse because you will be dumping a fiancee instead of a gf. |
It's not that deep. Facebook declarations of love as a relationship test? Until there is an exchange of rings either person is really free to do as they please. All she should do is have trust in her fiance. I'm sure she also has tons of guy friends as well and he isn't concerned enough to demand anything this crazy. |
The effectiveness isn't guaranteed, but the sooner the better chance. |
dustydee:What courage? ? ? ? ? |
annita19:No, it wasn't the america's most wanted guy, it was the politician who was running for vice president. (Hw is John Walsh and he wrote a great book called Tears of Rage. It talks about his son's kidnapping and murder and how it led to him doing the show.) |
This was so nice! |
[quote author=chi-baby link=topic=671259.msg8354397#msg8354397 date=1305828850]If I may ask, how come these factors suddenly hit u and now bothering you? Itz not like u dint knw em b4 now or? [/quote]Please let me know too. ![]() [quote author=Lord_Reed link=topic=671259.msg8354406#msg8354406 date=1305828892]Something is triggering these thoughts and I believe its cos you have some money now and are thinking of settling down. You are taking a hard look at your GF and thinking of all the things you 'hate' about her. Please be honest with yourself you never meant this to go as far as marriage. If not for her 'goodness' to you you probably would have ended things long ago. There is no simple answer if you truly love her as you claim these so called issues will not bother you.[/quote]True talk, but can the OP let me know why it took 5 years? When he is done with her she will really feel it. It would be a different story if she did something wrong, but to be rejected based on external reasons like height, family money, age, and religion, that were apparent in the beginning, will shatter her. I feel sorry for the unfortunate man that dates her after this because she may not be able to be so trusting and blindly devoted to ANY man ever again. |
Naominna:Let him know off the bat by asking him if he is planning on staying in a hotel, or does he want you to arrange a place with a relative of yours. Are you prepared for the possibility that he may ask you to send the boy to live with him? ifyalways:Maybe a shock is what he needs? Less chance to plan a strategy ahead of time, especially if you need to implement an immediate plan to remove him from his friends and restrict his free time. |
hmmm X2 |
