What's Happening Now
They are a blast to ride, and one added bonus for me is that, while I usually walk to work, if I need to get there quickly, or run errands at lunch time or something, I can ride the scooter and park right outside my building. If I drive, I have to pay to park and it is much further away.
We don;t ride them much in the winter, but our climate is fairly mild, so that's really only December and January, more or less.View Thread
I also think it's possible that some research marketing has already taken place given that staff moderators do submit a form of reports or what not to the higher ups.

Just thought I would give you a little mini-update.
First, I appreciate all of the kind words and concern from this board. You are all wonderful souls.
It has been a hectic couple of weeks as you can imagine. The service for the kids mom was last Saturday. I was worried it would be heartwrenching, personal service, full of friends and family sharing memories and emotions. It wasn't. There were 3 pastors there, and they all basically gave church sermons, utilizing her strength against adversity as their platform, but it wasn't what you would call personal. I was glad of that for the kids sake. That would have been hard to stand.
The kids are doing remarkably well. Honestly, there actual lives didn't change that much. They have lived with us full time and only seen their mom about once a week for a couple of hours since Aug when she got so ill. So logistically, there lives are pretty much the same.
My oldest step daughter knew it was coming, and had already made peace with it. She is greatful that her mom is no longer in pain. She is good about keeping me posted on her emotional status, and asking for what she needs emotionally, and I value that.
The two younger kids seem to be doing well also. I have been in close contact with the school and both teachers and the guidance councelor have shared that they are doing fine at school as well. I am watching for signs of something going on under the surface, but they seem like there own sweet selves. Playing with friends, doing their homework, eating and sleeping well.
They all impress me with there resilency. The middle daughter put it really well to her brother and sister when she said, "Mom would be sad if we were sad all of the time." And how true that is. It would break her heart to think that they couldn't be happy, so I think they are really honoring her by working hard to re-claim a new sort of normal in there lives.View Thread
Very sweet. And M is lucky to have such an intelligent and beautiful girl like you by his side. FCL and Darlyn are right too, you're looks do match your personality.Oh and how has your kitty been doing by the way?View Thread
Well what I meant by saying it's my problem is that yes it's a huge issue but there are several much more important issues in our marriage and with him that have got to be addressed/fixed before we can even start to work on this issue. KWIM? So it's just that I'm so frustrated and I have to wait til we work on other stuff before it gets better but i don't wanna wait.
It doesn't matter what source I destroyed. He's stopped using some sources to "avoid temptation" but then goes and uses a different one.
-But still- I have fantasies about throwing his smartphone through his computer screen and smashing the computer on top of his Playstation and tossing the Playstation through his flatscreen TV and pitching the TV out the window.

I'm working on making sure I do a lot of things that I wanna do, and that I don't get bogged down in depression.
But my sexual frustration just doesn't seem to get any better/lesser and it's one area I'm stuck on.

Nice to see you too! I was startin to miss y'all.

What are you being supportive and understanding OF? You're just being understanding and supportive of that fact that you're dissatisfied and he's doing nothing about it.
It sounds like you've done everything you're comfortable doing. Maybe suggest he see a doctor to rule out any physical/mental issues?View Thread

From the limited information you've provided, it sounds to me like this marriage is done and that you (plural) just need to bite the financial bullet and move on.
Have you done, or suggested, any type of counseling? Actually repairing this marriage would take a lot of work and dedication to making it happen, which I don't really sense is in the cards.View Thread

Back in college, i dated a friend of mine for around 9 months. During those months, i cant help but
be strongly attached to him. He's a great guy, a gentleman and really sweet. we shared a lot of
laughter and heartache. I can tell that i loved him so much and felt loved by him as well. He was my
first, no regrets.
Now here's the twist, we never bacame official. He's commited to someone else for 7 years. His
Girlfriend is a military nurse. they dont get to see each other often. What they have is more like a
long distance relatioship. I have to admit, i was the other woman. the thought was so belittling on
my part. there came a time when we cant go on. we just have to stop. confrontation came, of course,
he chose her. He said he felt guilty about it. i was very hurt, deeply. i never get to tell him how i really
felt.
i stopped talking with him for a while, stopped seeing each other. It was so hard to accept that i lost
him. after a month, i heard from a common friend that they broke up.
Three years passed and we are still good friends. we communicate until now like nothing
happened. After him, i had a boyfriend but didnt last long. As for him, he courted two girls already
since we stopped dating. Neither of them worked out for him either. Now, we are constantly talking
and texting each other. We did go out a few times already. I even celebrated my birthday this year
with him and another friend. I feel like I'm falling for him once again. I know i have to hold back. Im so
afraid that history might repeat itself. Right now, He's single and unattached. However, what scares
me more is the fact that he is courting another girl. I asked him about the new girl, he said he
stopped courting her. Recently, they went out on a date, according to him, it meant nothing.
They're just friends and also what we are, Just Friends. Despite the fact that we are just friends, i
feel happy and excited going out with him. When we are together, he is maliciously sweet. He does
things that he never do to his other female friends. I dont want to jump into conclusions. I dont wanna
hold on to the idea that we cant have a formal relationship. I am one of the few people who really
knows him as an individual, not withstanding clueless on the situation. Recently, we talked about the
past, our past. He said sorry for subjecting me in such predicament. But he'll never regret the times
we had shared. He said, he's already reaping his karma.
I'll appreciate whatever advice you can give. Thank You.View Thread

Otherwise, I take it from this type of discussion that you are pretty young. I agree with FCL, go do things. Go bowling, see a movie, find a quiet little coffee house and just talk. If you are going to be home invite friends over. Its a very very hard thing to put aside your wants and needs, especially once the cat is out of the bag so to speak.
. Have you talked to your girlfriend about this? How does she feel about the sex or unwanted pregnancy? This needs to be a two-way conversation and agreement. You don't necessarily have to avoid being alone together.. Just make sure that alone time isn't where you could make love. No parking, no empty bed, no empty house.
Good luck!! I commend you for making good choices!View Thread
