SpeedRacer 1 #1 August 27, 2005 well we went out for2 years when I was in my 20s. We both learned alot about ourselves since then. She being a woman, had a Whole Lot More Options than me. So she dated a few guys, one, who was an asshole, but of course, whom she was more in love with than me, but later realized he WAS AN ASSHOLE, then broke up with, then hooked up with a Nice Guy, who was a Lot Like Me, and married him. That went on for about 5 years. Then she DIVORCED him due to his ongoing health &work -related probs. Then she was single for a while. Then she called me up & wanted me to MARRY her. She's great & everything, but she wants to live in Cambridge, MA, and I want to live in Frederick, MD. And she knows I'm an easy mark, because I'm intelligent & clean & a nice guy & free of STDs, and I get an automatic hard-on whenever she's close to me.. so, is that grounds for a relationship with a future???

waltappel 1 #4 August 27, 2005 Quoteso, is that grounds for a relationship with a future??? Let me put it this way--NO WAY!!! NO HOW!!! Take sex out of the equation. Would you still want to spend the rest of your life with her? Sounds like she has a very poor track record. Don't be her next victim. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #5 August 27, 2005 you may be right. but I can't entirely blame her. His problems were all trendy shit like : "chronic fatigue syndrome" and "candida yeast" and whatever other trendy politically correct disfunction was on the market at the time. That was his reason for not going out & getting a job. I have NEVER been on a PC-dietary regime, and am FAR more healthy than those who have. Draw your own conclusions.

waltappel 1 #7 August 27, 2005 QuoteQuoteongoing health &work -related probs she divorced someone because of health or work problems? Work problems I might understand , but health? Hmmmm seems she is a bitch if she would hold health against the man she promised to love in sickness and in health... That was my first thought, but I realize that it really isn't that simple these days. In situations where one spouse has a severe long-term illness, there may be financial reasons to divorce. For example, if neither had health insurance, the husband was having severe health problems and the wife worked, the husband may not qualify for some sort of government assistance because of the wife's income. In a case like that, though, I would hope that the ex-wife would stay around--a separate residence to make the divorce legitimate for sure, but she should stay around unless the ex-husband wanted her out of his life, which is certainly a possibility. Just some thoughts. I'd still stay the hell away from the woman, though. Sounds like she either has a hidden agenda or she doesn't know what she wants.

SpeedRacer 1 #10 August 27, 2005 um no this is not the vaginal yast infection you're thinking of. This is candida yeast, which the la-di-da types blame on a lot of internal blood-bourne sources of exhaustion,etc. strangely enough, those of us who ignore them are in robust health. draw your own conclusions.

Sen.Blutarsky 0 #11 August 27, 2005 A pertinent scenario has played out for me at least twice. And may God Bless the Zebra Lounge in Chicago. As I seem to recall each instance culminated in me running down fire escapes with my pants slung over a shoulder in emergency fashion. Get it while it’s hot but good luck, you’re probably gonna need it and you might get shot. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hipwrddude 0 #12 August 27, 2005 I'm no marriage counselor but over the past year I've learned more about that stuff (heavy reading) then in all the years of my life stuffed into a can of mushrooms. All studies point to two things for a lasting marriage: 1.) Kindness and 2.) Intimacy. There are stages to love. Sounds like you're done with all of them in reference to your experience with your ex. The strongest stage lasts about 2.5 years (on average.) While there's more to provide in terms of content, my guesstimate and assumption is that you would enjoy tagging her often, but, in reality, she's not your girl for the long haul. For that, you need to find your match: 1.) She must look similar to you; 2.) She must share your core values/religious beliefs; 3.) She must have many common interests; 4.) She must enjoy alot of what you enjoy-on the levels you do; 5.) You are friends who connect on many levels. Lastly, hold out and seek the one you want, otherwise, life goes by without real fulfillment. Like I said, I'm no marriage counselor. Sometimes it may seem right, but it's not, and you can't ignore the clues. Because, if you do... it's your life. You're always the starter in your own life!

What I did was just told her I never would like to speak with her again. I I cut off all ties with her and it seems to be working. Good luck but you're better off stayin away from this one.

Of course, if it was a girl seeking this same advice I would be telling her the exact same shit. Nothing chauvenistic about it. Its the truth and works both ways. To the original poster - if you gotta ask, its not right for you - period, end of discussion. When you don't have to ask, or feel the need to ask, for an opinion from someone outside the relationship then you will know it is right.________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"easy mark" and an "automatic hard-on." My gosh, that sounds like exactly the criteria that form the basis of a meaningful, lasting, lifetime relationship. She still doesn't know what she wants. She just doesn't want to be single. You feel like being flavor of the month? Your "automatic hard-on" enough to sustain you when she gets bored again?

haymangonzo 0 #25 August 27, 2005 Dude, we can all talk about how good/bad she is, but you yourself don't come over as somebody that's madly in love. We can all hang our heads down because Skymama is perhaps out of reach for most of us, but still, you should marry when you're fucking in love. Ask Dutin Hoffman when he eloped with mrs. Robinsons daughter, he wouldn't give a fuck where the bus was taking them, HE WAS IS LOVE. *** Nice to meet you toot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
