 OFFLINE | OUCH !
Never did quite understand why a person can't just end something that's not right for them BEFORE they start something else. |

Oh there are countless reasons. None of them good ones, but countless nonetheless. My ex and her boyfriend were doing their thing for about a year before we separated (my being completely ignorant of it the whole time), and I suspect the reason they took so long was because they really needed to feel each other out (literally and mixaphorically) and see how much money they could secretly sock away before committing to the idea of it. It's really cowardly; hmmmm, if this doesn't work, my spouse will be my fall back and they'll never know - ermmmm, hopefully anyways.
Meh,,,, I'm glad it's over... |

I know the "reasons", and excuses peeps give ... does not mean I understand them. We live, we learn (hopefully)! |

I've found that trying to understand the behavior has greatly helped in making better choices with (needing to speak in reverse fashion here) others who've considered themselves a potential partner to me.
It's obvious that there's no guarantee, but in a couple cases, it's proven to pay off, in other cases it was merely very strong gut feeling. However, I can understand a genuine disinterest in trying to understand it; it's ugly, and why bother inviting 'ugly' into your consciousness? But the pain I've experienced has left me unwilling to take chances when they feel like - chances. I greatly agree with "Live'n learn", but I suspect we rather have to wait until it's all over before we conclude if we've learned all the right things or all the wrong things. I have, however, found it so much less confusing, frustrating, and trifling if I'm not actively seeking. |

 OFFLINE | My ex son inlaw & his new girfriend, starting trouble with my daughter last night at the Monster Truck Jam in St. Louis! Not only did my daughter NOT do anything to them, but she was there with my grandsons for A-Jay's birthday, & had her boyfriend & his daughter's with them too. I can't believe they were ignorant enough to do that in front of all those kids! Plus, my ex son inlaw had his kids with him as well. What a great example he was setting, huh? Some people just NEVER grow up! |
