...to take care of my virtual Holly. Fortunately, it's much easier for me to take care of my real-life one. My health is bad at the moment, and I can't come here regularly. I was recently in the ER, and pending a follow-up doctor's appointment, I may need surgery. Thanks again for the help...

Actually, I posted this as an update in an older thread, but looking at it now, I think it's actually a different topic, and I didn't want to mislead people. Besides, I'll need viewpoints from both genders, not just one. My big bear of a man and I have been "testing the waters" for about a...

UPDATE Earlier I said I cannot call my relationship actually a relationship. That is still true. We are still in the testing-the-waters phase, but everything looks good. How close are we becoming? Well--we're dancing all the way around the L-word, but not actually saying it. Some of you...

I would probably do well to remember what I told an interfering sister-in-law. "You didn't create me. You didn't die for my sins and rise again the third day. You don't get to judge me."

Brotherf.a.m. has a point. It wasn't the official position of that church, but some of the individuals in it. Godisgr8r, I understand what you're saying too. More condemnation on the boards than in person. Maybe that's because we're pretty much faceless here, and those in our own churches...

I read James Stewart's own remarks on that scene... The tears were real and unintentional. He, the actor, was just moved by the whole scene, but then the director wanted to work it into the script for real and Stewart of course couldn't duplicate it. So, painstaking editing, zooming every...

I JUST caught this. Was that pun intentional? ^_^

Ugh! I disagree very much with your father. I think he must have some sort of masculine insecurity that he projected onto you. Refer to my post saying it's the men who DON'T show their feelings who are the wimps, because they're afraid somebody's going to look down on them. However, you're...

I was counseled not to even date a man I wouldn't consider marrying. Whether this is sound advice or not is a whole 'nother question, but it's what I'm following. The relationship is far from serious yet, but I want to be prepared for serious when serious happens. Cuuuuuute. Remembering...

For me it's more ex-inlaws than ex-spouse. When I was married, many of them being of quite forceful personalities tried to tell us how to run our marriage, our personal lives, our finances, etc. Wouldn't stay out of our business. A sister-in-law was quick to point out, when I would object...

In another thread I truthfully stated that my first husband had left me for another woman. Because I already felt I was receiving some condemnation, I refrained from mentioning that this was not my last marriage. Now I will come clean. Husband number two is deceased. God rest his kind...

Dear brother Elijah, something (or should I say Someone) caused me to think twice, and to view your post. I have cleared my Ignore list and ask you to please forgive me for overreacting. By nature I am sweet, sensitive, and affectionate, and if the man I love cries, I can't resist comforting...

Thank you, LOTB. And by the way, that's the same verse I quoted on the other thread. You helped a lot. :) I want to point out that I think it takes a far braver man to cry than to be afraid someone's going to call him a chicken...oops, sorry LOTB, no refrence to your costume intended...

I wasn't talking about any particular man. I asked this question because I wanted to examine my own behavior, not to "prove a point." I'm beginning to it's Attack Cruz Day. Edit, after a few minutes to draw some deep breaths, to explain why I just said that. On my other advice thread...

I thank everyone who has responded so far. I am taking my time and digesting each answer. But there is something I need to address right now. Some of you who say you don't mean to be judging me, ARE judging me. What you don't know is that the gentleman in question has never been married...

fine fun!
