From Ronin's second post, on the first page: "she is stable. She's 44 and has her own place; along with her own money and saving to make due." הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Thank you for posting this, Beancooker. In many ways I could have written it. Guys and gals, I got exactly what I expected from this thread. Some humor, some snark, but mostly perspective and some great advice. Something I know about myself is that I like “shiny new things”; this would not be the first relationship I ran from because....”Squirrel”! Before I walk away from someone who loves/cares about me much more than I tend to think I deserve sometimes, I owe it to both of us to stop looking to see what’s on ‘the other side’ and instead focus on ‘right now’. And that is what my decision is going to be. Thanks again all, I really appreciate it.

One other thing you may be over looking is it's OK to be 'by yourself for awhile' and just focus on you and your kids. BTDT and often it brings a lot of clarity that was missing after going through a divorce and jumping back into the relationship pool, before a person might be ready for that. Just a thought, best of luck. | |||

Glad to hear it Ronin. And yes that was a really good post beancooker. Oh, and taking a break from the news is the best medicine one can take these days. Or at the very least tiny doses's.This message has been edited. Last edited by: old rugged cross, "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

When it’s over, it’s over, break it off. My mother and aunts gave me absolute hell one year for calling it quits with a girl a couple of weeks before Christmas. The young lady had gotten into a groove of taking her stress of full time school and full time employment out on me. I rationally explained to her that this would not continue, and suggested she make an appointment to speak with a professional about her level of stress and how to deal with it. Shortly she blew up at me again over something I had nothing to do with. After she cooled off, I inquired as to if she had made an attempt to get some help. She had not, I explained that this was no longer an option she had one month to find someone. I said nothing else for 30 days, then asked again. She had not, her bad behavior had continued; I ended it there. So to get to the point the long way around. When it’s over, it’s over. | |||

Sometimes when one questions calling it quits now, in this environment, this close to the holidays, [whatever], that is really a little internal voice asking if calling it quits is the right thing. Good on you for at least looking at it. I always tried to have a clean break and some time alone before looking for anything new. It helped in knowing that I wasn't just going because something else looked better. I suspect that whatever you decide long term you'll be more comfortable with your decision having looked at it harder. Good luck! | |||

Best of luck! Hindsight will be the only way you know for sure what avenue was best. Hopefully we will see a thank you David Troung thread in a year or two, if not there are tons of fishes in the sea. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
