***Thrilling Thursday Roll Call***

Hi Lisa,

I understand your concerns about Bron.  It’s hard to get to know someone and not seem like the FBI.  Since my marriage of 25 years ended in divorce, I am not the best person to give relationship advice, except to say, take it slow. 

I wish I had half your energy.  Between you and Pam, I don’t know where you find the time and energy for all you pack into an evening.  You sound like you are a terrific mother and yet you are able to take care of your needs as well.  Being a single mom is tough, and you deserve a pat on the back.

Hugs,

Trish

Thanks Trish.. dating is hard.  I am not exclusively seeing Bron because I know that I want to take my time with him.  I don't want to hurt him or ME, but still want to have fun in the process!!

As far as the energy goes, if I don't keep moving, I will be sitting in front of this computer all night just as I do all day.. LOL.  I also would blow up to the 250 lbs I was before since my food choices are not always the best. 

I try my best to make sure both my needs and Siehara's are met.  That makes us both much happier.  Thanks for the kudos on my mothering.  That means a lot to me.

By 4 months in our relationship, we just kinda moved in together. We we inseperable and always had so much fun together. It wasn't ever a thought about if he was right or not. In fact, I don't think I ever had that thought. Things just happened, and seemed so natural and normal. Comfort from the very beginning. And now 4 years later..........still together.

Every relationship is different. But my thought is..........after 4 months, you don't know much about him? Probably not a good thing. Just sayin". I could be totally wrong here.

I am not saying people should live together within a short amount of time. Just trying to say if it's right, it just is. You don't EVER question it. It just happens.

I am thinking along those lines of why don't I know him better.  I know part of it as that we live an hour away from each other and only seem to see each other on the weekends and for one day.  Much of that time has been spent going out or being involved in some sort of get together.  We have had limited time alone.  But, there are other people in my life where I KNOW it will never go anywhere.  I think I know that with him, too.  There are still too many questions and there shouldn't be.  I think my brain is still in that mode of he likes me so why should I let him go.  I am not planning on marrying him, so if there is no future, why should I stay with him?  I like him. He's fun.  But, where's the deeper stuff.  He tells me he loves me, but I just don't know if he doesn't really know how to show it or if he is just saying it.  I KNOW that I don't love him. 

Should I keep dating him and having fun? Should I let him know that I just want to hang out and nothing else?  Should I just stop seeing him?   This dating crap is hard.

Lisa,

From what you have been posting about Bron, I think you already have the answer but you are afraid to make the move. If I were you I would end it now. You don't want to lead him on and the longer you let it go the harder it is going to be on both of you. You know that you don't love him, so why stay? For companionship? It sounds like you don't see him that often to have that. I was in a relationship that I knew was not going anywhere because of many different issues. I hesitated and stayed with the guy for a year and a half. I actually cared for him and he said he cared for me but there were many things that prevented that relationship from going any further.I think at that point in my life I felt that I couldn't do any better, but then I realized I DESERVED better!!! And so do YOU!! 

Hope this helps....

Hugs, Beth

Work today, lots of people on my mind. My Uncle will get his medal on the 21st, my mom is driving up for it.  Then we will wait and see how he is. One of my good friends just found out that her husband of 17 years has been cheating on her, and has been taking some pretty sneaky steps to cut her out of his life financialy and physically. She is pretty devastated. She is coming over tonight to use my computer to do some research as she does not feel safe using one in her home. So sad. I know the feeling of being at home alone, knowing that the man you committed your life to is out with someone else, and is lying to you. It is an awful feeling

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your friend..  That totally sucks..  Men are idiots sometimes! 

Good morning PA!
Trish--I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that your surgery stuff all works out!! (((HUGS)))

Good morning all!
I am still on the mend tending to all my aches & pains.  Now my jaw is feeling pain and doesn't seem to be aligned the same.  I go to my PCP Friday to get the external stitches out.  I will have her check me out then.  Everything gets more achy each day except my knee.  it seem to be getting better.  The only good thing, other than Caleb being not injured at all, is the liquid diet.  Today is day 6, I crave to chew something but I am not allowed, but I have broke through my stall and have almost lost 50% of my starting known weight. (You know...I know I weighed more but didn't dare step on a scale...don't ask...don't telll...kinda thing)  Have a great day everyone!

Sara

Good Morning All

Trish I hope that this procedure works for you!

I am at wor****il 4. I am EXHAUSTED!!! Chris is sick (the end of the world - why are some men so whimpy when sick?! lol), it's the same cold I had last week. I think he'll be back to work today. After work tonight I need to stop at Lowe's for a few things then home to relieve my Grandmother of her Amelia duties. It's then the usual, making dinner, packing lunch, snuggling my munchkin, and hopefully bed early.
