I wonder how many of us are pinging in response to bevlar's post?
A couple of quick points need to be made.
We've gotten into somewhat serious waters. That's good. Sometimes a serious discussion is good for us.Thanks,When having a serious discussion, we need to realize that emotions will sometimes run higher. As much as possible, we need to make allowances for those emotions. Someone may say something that sounds harsh, but taking a time for a deep breath and the willingness to consider that the person may not have meant anything mean can save us a great deal of bad feelings. Likewise, the discussion may not seem as fun as we'd like. Let's try to make allowances for the fact that things won't always be perfectly fun when we are discussing something serious.
As much as possible, let's try to be careful what we say when we are in the grip of emotions.

Thanks for the ping!
I hadn’t been on this thread but I couldn’t help but be nosy and investigate to see what was so serious. ;-)
For me, it’s simple; the truth and only the truth is acceptable in a relationship.
Once trust is broken it can never be restored to its original condition.
I would rather be alone than to be with a man who tells me less than the truth. Ever.
Bingo! And it bears repeating...
bingo...
I can even POINT to the MOMENT OF BREAKAGE in a couple of instances.
Daaaaaaaaaaang.
Big red and blue letters.... patriotic! I like it!
;-)
Yes, the moment of breakage is often branded on our memories, isn’t it?
Hello, again!
And again: love your tagline!
:-)
It is to truth.
Boldly going nowhere is a lot better than going backward...
To be mourned every year on their anniversaries...well, maybe not really that extreme...
I'm old and have my adored grandkids now; so my perspective has changed. I do, however, remember the anguish.
No way I believe that!
:-)
Lots of times we feel like we’re spinning our wheels when, in actuality, God is very busy working inside us to prepare us for the next season of our life.
I’ve been boldly going nowhere for a while too.
I’m optimistic to a fault and don’t pay much attention to anguish once it’s over.
You’re so fortunate to have grandchildren!
I’m so looking forward to it... in a few years!
Like I said, it is to truth...
...aren’t we all? 8^)
mail...
This must be a tough time for you.
My whole world changed when I became a grandma. As much as it did when I became a mother; but in a totally different, more peaceful, cozy way.
It gives me an amazing relationship, and it ties my life up perfectly.
:-)
Maybe it sounds sad to others, but it made me feel ok to be single. I’m no longer hoping for a “perfect partner.” The girls and I need each other in a perfect way, and it will last my whole life.
No kidding...
I was very close to my maternal grandmother. She died last August.
I hope one day that I can give my own grandchildren even a fraction of the unconditional love my grandmother gave me.
You won’t be able to help it. It just spills out of you! Good things you didn’t even know were in you bubble all over the place when those angels arrive.
:-)
