You can't change the direction of the wind, just trim your sail and make the best of it. Your life has its own path, and following it doesn't mean you're jumping ship or abandoning anyone. You can love your family and do what you need to do for you at the same time. Its like they say...death is easy, its the tranition thats tough. It'll all work out.

Check out your profile for yourself...the number of comments says it all

I'm glad your breakup went so well. There is nothing worse than months of false hope. As for your friend....yeah therapists/psychiatrists won't tell her much she doesn't already know, but it allows someone to put their thoughts into words and that is often enough to do a lot of good. Therapy can sometimes also involve confrontation when we refuse to see reality...that can help too. I'd personally lean towards barging in and just laying on her bed, eating chocolate and providing a pair of ears. Hopefully she gets better soon either way.

I'm in lube central now.....will save you some. bastard!

Personally....I'd wait to hear what he has to say...and then just be true to yourself.

Wow...that sucks! and the fact they went all the way further complicates things. I can't tell you what to do, just what I would do. I personally couldn't be in that position and would tell her that she has to stop using me as an excuse and that if he asks I wouldn't lie about her 'not being with me'. In terms of telling him, I don't feel that would be my place, however if they continued to see each other (and escalate it like they did) and I continued to hear about it, I would strongly encourage her to tell him/break it off because I couldn't look him in the face knowing all this. Sorry you are in this shitty position...it is a no win.

Yay!!! ....55 weeks until mine is due

Happy Birthday 'old man'....I mean cutie....I mean MASTER!!!!! LOL...fix your damn birthday will you?! You were not born in july?! Hope you have a great day with your baby cake...I mean Dan Your Padewan G

I've been trying hard not to reply in this thread, mostly because I feel a bit tainted on the issue. In reality it doesn't matter what any of us say about it, but how you feel about it. You wouldn't be posting this if you didn't have some reservations about it. So what is holding you back?...is it just the age difference, and you are looking for 'approval' from others? If that is all it is, you don't need our approval, if you want to see where it goes, by all means go for it! If you are holding back for some other reason...maybe a vibe you are getting or something, explore it because only you can make this choice and it is best if you know what you are getting into. My experience is limited...but I found with a 6 year difference we were both in a very different place in our lives...love just didn't seem to be enough. Although the distance didn't help too. Anyway, think about what is holding you back and see if it matters or not. Be safe, and good luck!!

It is sad that I know exactly wich hospital that is from the picture. Sounds like he is moving along fairly well, but I'm really glad his spirits are up. HUGS! G

Wow, I was trying for low key but, thank you all so much I got the day off from the clinic yesterday (it was closed), so that was sweet. Also my roomies dragged me out to transformers late last night, so that was something fun. Yup, time flies kjames Also....I'm seven years legal now , but thanks for the sentiment

That little bugger! He waits until I leave Calgary to have an accident and fly in. It sounds like he is ok but that is pretty awful. Hope he gets better very quickly!! HUGS

Good luck!!

That is awful Robert!! Joe, Mark is right. It is generally my instinct to let things go sour and wait for the other person to dump me but it rarely works. Usually people just try harder and your inability to say 'no' or break it off will lead people on. In the end whereas you think you are being too nice a guy to end I harshly, you are really just being an ass and hurting them more in the end. So just cut the cord. Anyway that's my advice to you, same I tell myself when people get too close to me that I don't think I'd like enough marry. It is your call tho ...and for the love of all things holy eat your meat boy!

Well Jamie, we don't talk a lot and it seems everytime we do I lecture you about drugs. Sorry about that, it is just part of my nature. What you don't know is that out of everyone onthis site I probably worry about you more than anyone. I guess that means I care. Anyway, I'd invite you to live with me so I can show you people care but that isn't practical right now. Still I'm here if you need anything at all, contact me anytime.

LOL I'm not sure kev would agree, he has to put me back into my place

Good for you Kev. You are right, I am thinking 'big deal'. Well that is partially a lie, I know it can be hard to reveal something so personal, so good for you! As for Mark's comments...I have been a good boy lately Greg

Well I have never been heavy, quite the contrary actually. Falling in love did make me lose 20 pounds though. There were just more important things than food, and to me he is more important than anything! Just whatever you do, don't do crash diets. Slow weight lossis healthier and more sustainable. Good luck!

It's YOUR life, you do with it what YOU want and what makes YOU HAPPY!! ...kick the drug habbit tho if you can, even the perscription ones Greg

I would say the problem is these people, cruel individuals but honestly, you can't hope to change or get away from them all in this world. So.... the problem is you!...or rather your mindset. You simply can't let what any one person says destroy your world. So, show some confidence and learn to be rubber, not glue

Good technique involves both...variety counts

Sounds like someone has been hanging out with dan

Fair enough Graeme. If it was just intended as an 'I don't want to date a bi guy' thats fine, doesn't bother me at all. To me though it read as 'i don't like bi (people)' which I do take offense to. I understand lots of people have been burned by bi guys/girls in the past, but that doesn't make us all guilty of it, nor does it mean gay and straight people are any less guilty of leaving their ex significant others with a bad taste in their mouths. It is quite possible it was a partial language barrier here...but I sense history there, and it read as if he blames all bi guys for the acts of one. I could be wrong...
