Thanks twigeater!! I have always been nice to Buddha even when other folks were being jerks. That just sucks, I guess I need to learn to be a B!TCH like most other females, huh?

mrschili36, do you really think that "most other women" are btches? It's too bad to generalize like that. However as an individual, I'm probably the worst btch I know and people usually agree with that, LOL.

I really don't know anything about Buddha Bear or why he's so bitter, but it's too bad to let one (or more) stinkin' bad relationship(s) continue to have control over his life. He seems like a nice enough guy, he should get over it.

Ha! While I was busy posting twice, Buddha posts...

I didn't intend the comment to be mean, I just think it takes more balls to get over a lost love and move on than to pine away and be bitter.

True love
I have one for you.
Right out of High School you marry, spend half your life with someone and find out it doesn’t work. Not your fault, not hers. You both go on with life. Not looking for love and not wanting it. One day it jumps up out of the blue and hits you in the face. You didn’t ask for it but there it is. And I mean real LOVE your soul mate the one in a thousand life time’s love. It’s like nothing you have ever felt. When it is the real thing you know.
It’s the kind of love that makes you unafraid of doing things most men would never do in a life time. Like French braiding her hair in a crowded room. Asking her if you can carry her purse so she won’t have too. Wanting to carry her across a bed of rocks so she won’t hurt her feet. Wanting her to tell you all her pains and problems so you can help carry the hurt. The kind of love that you know nothing will ever stop. Not another person, not time not even death. When you are apart you can’t eat, can’t sleep and have a knot in your stomach and throat.
Here inlays the problem, she means so much to you that you don’t want to hurt anyone who loves her and you put other peoples wants and feelings in front of yours. Putting off what you know you need to do. Than one day she can’t wait any longer and tells you she loves you but is not in love with you anymore, you know she doesn’t mean it but she has done the same thing you did. (Putting others wants and feelings in front of hers).
Now you are left with the unbearable realization that you have no one to blame but yourself. You live every waking moment of your life with the realization that you let the perfect person slip away. It feels like you were kick in the chest by a horse. Nothing you can do makes it go away. You try and work 24/7 that doesn’t help. You try and drink the hurt away and it only intensifies it. You try and sleep it away and all you dream of her and how stupid you were to let her get away. Next day it starts all over.
Someone once said it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. BULL%#@*. Friends try and set you up and you can’t bring yourself to even contemplate the idea. Your family tells you to get on with your life but that’s impossible. All you can do is wait and hope eternity hurries up and gets here because you know soul mates are forever. And maybe than you can explain what happened and pray for second chance.
Time cannot heal this pain; you have to live with it for the rest of your life. That’s true love.

Why is it that they say they'll hike with you when you first meet them, but then they just can't seem to find the time to do it?

Hey Snafu . . . .
I was reading some of the old posts on this thread and I saw all the stuff you posted about your relationship w/ the alcoholic woman w/ children. I noticed in particular what you said about needing to "rehab yourself from all the trauma of the alcoholic episodes." Newergirl's father is an alcoholic and we spent 5 yrs. together (most of that time we lived together). If you want to talk about it or feel like you might need some info. on it, I'd be glad to share. You are right on about needing to "rehab" yourself and I'm totally there w/ you. I know exactly how it feels to have your head telling you to split "right-frickin'-now" and your heart aching for them to recover. I know what it's like to think you are dating a 1/2 demon/ 1/2 angel. I've been through all the issues that surround rehab, recovery groups, counseling, etc. Sometimes it helps if you get yourself educated about the disease and your role (even after the fact). Anyway, if you want to talk . . .

Wasn't there a thread about pickup lines?
My girlfriend and I went to a bar Friday night. We were among a handful of people outside their 20's. We're dirty dancing with these young guys and having a good time. My girlfriend goes to the bar to buy a drink and these two guys decide they want to buy us a drink. One asks my girlfriend how many children we have. She told him we have seven between the two of us. He said, damn, you look great, not to mention after popping out a bunch of babies! The bartender knocked over two of the shots she was pouring, looked at my girlfriend and said, "I'VE GOT TO GET A DIFFERENT JOB!"

Sounds like we're in the same boat.
I was stubborn about go to a group for people who had to deal with an loved one who is an alcholic.
I was pissed to even be in that situation, I blammed her totally. Yes, I would be awesome to chat(email) with you to get a perspective of how you have dealt with it. Thanks.

I got ripped on by Buddha B. for Flirting with that idea...haha
I'm always willing to meet anyone and yes from what you told me before she sounds like a good person. Maybe some time.
I know new girl is on a 1 year hiatus (sp?) from dating, I have not been with anyone since my XG.
It's hard moving on without rebounding too hard.
Did you ever say anything to her from the last time? Just curious :-)
