Shelly B Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'd rather endure six consecutive root canals while on fire. Just sayin.' too funny - one of my girlfriends who has been divorced said after her divorce - the mere idea of living with someone again - almost gives her panic attacks. She's been divorced 12 years and would still rather be lit on fire. I know for the younger ones on the board that's depressing - but the conversation I once had with my Gram - who had been twice divorced - and been on her own for 30 years - when I being a moony teenager - asked "Gram - what about so and so? He's nice - couldn't you see being married again?". And with a look of abject horror - said "Oh HELL no." It's weird - I feel kind of naked without my wedding ring - but - I can understand Gram's answer so much better these days. :-) Once you have gnawed your way out of a trap - I can completely understand the reluctance... :-)!!!!

I felt that way after my third divorce (which was final many moons ago)......that is why I was single for a WHILE after that one.....I had men trying to get me to move in with them or marry them, and I always called it off.....this one has actually made me consider it, though.....my Mom asked me how I could consider doing it again after all I have been through.....I told her I must be really really smart, or really really stupid....I haven't figured out which one yet!

Countesszero Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've been married three times. I'm on my third marriage now. Third times a charm or so I've heard. So far everything is working out awesomely and it's been 10 years. I know the mistakes that were made the first 2 times and I dont plan on repeating them. My hubby is a dream come true when the other 2 were nightmares. What was I thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I was besotted with both my ex's...at the beginning. DH is a keeper. Not besotted with him. More of a partner to him. That's the difference I think. I would not have chosen to actually marry again, but it meant a lot to DH, and I'm happy with my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therapygirl Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry precious girl! The marriage, while mindnumbing and lonely was nothing compared to the hell of the divorce. I guess my advice is don't ever get divorced! The legal and custody aspects are the parts that raped me! I would probably do a commitment ceremony or something, but I would never get into a legal bond where a judge has the right to decide to decide my future or potentially take my babies ever again. Noody will ever have power like that over me again! Could we get descriptions on the JALN scents please?

I changed my name back and had to take my divorce decree to the power company and have some drone look through it before they'd change my name on the bill. Could change my service address with a phone call, but NOOOOOO, I had to go in and have some mouth-breather yell my social security number across the lobby. For an on-topic! Glad I'll be able to buy the old JALN scents through here now. I think I need the Naughty but Nice (I think it's got BI now that SS4W is gone?)

I guess my advice is don't ever get divorced! I'm gonna have to disagree here. I think a mindnumbing and lonely marriage sucks too. And while the divorce sucked more, I don't think anyone should live a mindnumbing and lonely life in a marriage. Hell, you can do that all by yourself with nobody bugging you. I've seen perfectly happy couples become miserable after marriage. And I've seen people who should never ever ever have gotten married become even more miserable together once they were married. So I guess the lesson I've taken away is don't ever get married. It doesn't make anything better. So if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Of course this is just my observation over many years. Others might have seen quite different effects of marriage. All I know is I've never seen a truly happy couple like on TV or in the movies or in books. Not once. Not ever. It's all make believe or at least that's my conclusion. Edited October 27, 2009 by starlitegirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) I don't have any issues with marriage, just marriage for me. Personally I feel it is an outmoded and potentially oppressive institution, an institution that we are brainwashed into believing we must enter into. But I realize that for many it is a sacred commitment, and they're welcome to it. I want my own life, no matter what. I'll let Joni sum it up for me (again, just me): We don't need no piece of paper from the City Hall keepin' us tried and true, no.

therapygirl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I saw it, it was cute! So was War of the Roses though I know there are happy marriages out there, I am sure you can think of some. I think my parents were happy for the most part. I guess my problem is that I don't want to just be happy. i want to be fulfilled, which I was when I was raising my babies. But I want joy too. I have joy in my children, but I want both in my relationship as well. I believe that I have that person in my life right now that is blowing every expectation I have ever had. He grows with me, he encourages me, he worships me, he devours me, he cherishes me, he completes me. Do I want to be married in the US legal system? Hell no! That's the part I personally will never do again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Let me say this..... I "settled" for three marriages to the wrong people (SOOOOO WRONG), because I had convinced myself that the fairy tale relationship was just that....a fairy tale. After the third divorce, I made a pact with myself.....that unless someone came along who met the qualities on my must-have list, I would remain single and in dating mode.....I had decided that if the fairy tale didn't exist, then I would rather be alone. Then, I met my current man.....he meets every one of my "must-haves"....and he has some other qualities that I never realized that I wanted, but that make life that much sweeter. I am very gun-shy when it comes to marriage, but he made me think very seriously about it. We already have the comittment in our relationship, but we also realize that in some ways, a legal marriage can be beneficial. HOWEVER, we have also discussed that if it does happen, there will be pre-nuptial agreements.....on both sides. So, for those of you who are romantics.....YES, it can happen.....am I saying that everyone who has a loving comitted relationship should be legally married? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Marriage is not for everyone.....for me? Not really sure yet....we are "engaged", but it is still going to be a long winding road to the altar....a lot can happen between now and then.....

SWBookworm Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ladies, Ya'll need to watch the movie "Serendipity" Saw it and to an extent am living it. However, what the fairy tales don't tell you is that they take work--the white charger that the prince rides has to have his stall cleaned and those princely garments need to go to the dry cleaners. Can it happen? Sure, and it does every day. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble and I am a romantic at heart (maybe that's why 7 Minutes to Midnight works so well for me), but the real work of making the fairy tale last starts after you ride off into the sunset. For the on-topic portion of the post, I think Eye of the Storm and Tabby for sure, unsniffed, but need to see some of the notes in the others to totally round out the order. Might also get a spray phero--Ail's Cuddlebunny scented with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna65 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The new site looks great! Wait, it doesn't look any different to me. Am I missing something? I saw Serendipity too (and it's the only one of Alan Silvestri's scores that I can stomach) but again, that's someone else's story...you can find your own, dear, I know you can; just be cognizant of your own needs, not some outwardly imposed architecture of desire. I have a relationship that probably many would not want, but it works for me, it works for us. When I let go of that societal/feminine expectation baggage and went after what I wanted, then it all fell into place. Romance is a wonderful thing, but it's not just one thing.

My father died when I was 19 years old from a heart attack. Happened so suddenly. He went to work that morning came home and died right infront of my mothers eyes. I remember I had work that night and when I came home he was laying on the ground dead. Since then everything in my life has been a struggle. I had developed terrible anxiety and paranoia. I am on meds for that now. It helps but it never fully goes away. After my fathers death I met this guy whom I thought was the greatest thing ever and I had moved out with him. I left my family after my fathers death in persue of a better life away from the horror but all to end up with an obusive guy for 3 in a half years. Then I found a job which was amazing when i first started here because it gave me a push and financial help to move out and break up with my obusive ex boyfriend, but after a while I found out quickly that no job is perfect and all the crazy shit I had to deal with in here. Right now its starting to get a bit better because our busiest time is April-September but then from the months of October-March its not as bad. I'll probably stay here through the holiday months until March. Take my paid vacations, get my bonuses and then seek a better career bath and try to reinvent myself. I worked my ass off dealing with these crazy ass people all summer long. Iam staying for the holidays to reep my rewards. Thank Gosh for my current boyfriend whom I have been with now for almost a year. Iam lucky i met him. I met him when my ex and I were at our down fall and pretty much broken up. Not living wise yet but emotionally we were way seperated. Work at that time became real stressful and I was scared I wasnt going to make it, but sweetie and I just clicked. His father died too from diebetes and at the time he was also having problems with his ex girlfriend who was a psycho bitch. Anyways we were there for eachother and became close friends which grew into something so much more. Beyond friendship and we helped eachother move along and out of the hell we were both in with our ex's. Its funny because I remember I was wearing Tomashi No Tamo with soulmate pheros a lot right before I met my current boyfriend. But anyways, Life is big. Anything can happen. You just have to be strong and get through the hard times because life is like waves. Sometimes its smooth and other times its rough but you will get through it. My prayers are with you AG Edited October 29, 2009 by AncientGoddess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlitegirl Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 djac, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and what you're going through. I hope you feel better soon. Sometimes stepping away and not dealing is the best thing you can do. That little bit of down time and not dealing with reality while you give yourself a breather can be very helpful once you have to deal with it. I think it just helps with the stress. I've done it a few times in my life when things were just too bad to cope. The reprieve gave me the strength to get through things when I had to face life.
