QUOTE: Hummmmm so what do you do when a friend brings up a subject about going somewhere with them and you agree but..at the last minute they seem to forget they even brought it up to you. Yet they in fact end up going without you. Then your left there saying WTF?.............. Do you let them have it in a nonchalant way?
Do you let them have it full blast?
Or just ignore it and write it off?
Will you ever agree to go with them again later?
Guess I should clarify this one say they mentioned you going on a trip with them. And it was brought up more then once then you call them the morning of the trip and well they are already 2-3 hours down the road Hummm seems they did not think you would want to get up that early and go But did not even call to ask
Sounds like they didn't really want you to go. Being put on as back up. So like you said, way even ask. Id have a talk with them when they came back. I don't think I would go all out on them, but I would explain how messed up it was knowing they asked a couple times. I would also agree to go with them if they asked again, but if what happened, happened again. Now you have crossed the line

Wanna get serious?
If it's ment to be it will happen. I can say I have loved 2 in my life, but I can't say i have ever been in love.
Now that I have had time for myself and looking back in my life. There was a point I thought I was. Then I realized what might be being in love for me is, when I can give my intire being to the person I'm with. That hasn't happen yet. Who knows, I might get lucky before I die

QUOTE: QUOTE: But anyways, when she first left we agreed on some things and she keeps changing her mind. I wasnt going to go after her for child support but its getting a little tough. But she keeps saying if I do that that shes not going to pay 1/2 of a credit bill we agreed to split and to sign the van over that was in her name to me. And for now both my kids are with me. After schools out my daughter may go live with her. She changes her mind daily. But when that happens we'd both have a child which would cancell support right? So anyone have any ideas. I know I should ask an attorney but food in the fridge is more important than talking to someone for 15mins. Id rather just not talk to her about anything but she still walks in here like she lives here or something. seriously,from a father whos been thru the court system,and taken a lot of crap,you Need a lawyer and Every bit of paperwork. it took me almost two years to get everything done for my daughter. this was way back in 99/2000 if it wasnt for the social services actually stepping up and telling the Judge how the scene really was,i probably would not have gotten my daughter. even tho,i was the primary parent all those years,and my daughter Wanted to be with me. thats how biased the courts were. keep in mind i raised her all the way,until the divorce,and then got her back a year later,at most. ( TG ) im just Glad that i got her,and lets not even discuss the child support ha.. now,my daughters 18,out on her own,got job,car,place of her own..shes Making it ..im Proud of her..she managed to survive our problems/ex-n-mine,and become a Great person. Ppprgy, those promises your ex made,well they arent worth spit..as im sure you know. get it on Paper...change your locks too. and,personally,the 08 truck would be sold..trade it in,or sold. if shes not helping with the kids,then she dont need no truck. that van scene should be done asap as well. heres hoping that the truck isnt in her name as well. good luck with the daughters feelings..very dicey situation there. make Sure that you dont argue or badmouth each other in front of the kids..they dont need that. again,i advise you to get a lawyer,and if you cant afford one,go see social services they will help you if you are doing the right thing. some lawyers will actually take these cases just to see the right thing for the kid happen. just my .02 so,do whatever is Best for your Kids. and Good Luck I'm still going through this, although it is only going to take one more time for my ex to get into another domestic violence with her boyfriend, and the social services with take her daughter that is her boyfrind child and my son from her. I will get my son and her doughter will got to a faster parent. Part of me feels good, then both of the children will be in a better homes, and the other part is like. Why does it take it to go this far with people for reality to set in and start taken care of themselves. It will happen, it's just a matter of time. I just feel for her daughter because she doesn't need to go through this, nor my son. |

Stay at home Dads?
At one point I thought it would be really neat to be a stay home dad, but being that i'm on unimployment right now, but starting my CDL classes. I have experience of being a stay home dad. It's not for me. I like working, but when i'm home as much time as I have been. I go nuts and winter doesn't help. It snows in UT and i'm getting caben feaver. I lived in Cali most of my life, so this is not for me.
Now take my living situation out of it. It still don't matter, I feel the same way. Yes it has it's good points about it and the time i'm spending with my son. Well, not today being on the net but I realized It makes me feel i'm not doinging anything really and I always been the type that has to work.

QUOTE: QUOTE: Yes this did happen, but I moved to UT and i'm still here taking care of my son. We actually met and spent time together.

And all I am saying Shadow, is that you have severely limited yourself to your own backyard. And it seems to be very small. What you want might be somewhere out there. But you say "Someone I will never meet." Who says so? The tomcat Oracle? Have you seen the # of couples on here who started out thousands of miles apart? They probably made all the statements you are making. Until they took the blinders off. And fell in love. You know, that emotional attachment chit
I understand what your saying
But, I have a two year old son and the law says I can't move with my son. I can move when ever I want and take a chance on somone else out of state. But what would that be saying to my son, and to think about that. How much of his life would I miss. So yes, my limits are set. I will never leave my son for some women. Nothing personal, just my son is my life right now. Besides all that. it would be nice to meet somone that is willing to put as much effert into a relationship as I am. That means meet me half way on things and see where it goes from there. As far as getting attached to somone and I stated this already. Why get attached to somone that neither of you will be able to make the effert to meet? What would anyone get out of that alone other then pain? Don't take me wrong. I'm just sharing here

well some actually think they can live happily ever after in virtual world perhaps they could who knows? lmao! tell them its not your thing you desire touch
That's the thing i'm looking at. A lot of people live in this fantasy world on the net. Now I don't want any of the people that posted on here thinking I mean them. Just reality has made it's place on here for me. |

Grow up and act your age!
My ex wife couldn't stand me at the end of are relationship. The more serious she was the more childish I was.
I say this because when I first met her, she wasn't taking everything so serious. Then she met a couple frinds that acted like they were high class but they wer actually low class like me. Making a living and getting by like most of us. It got to the pont where she started to try to talk different and act like how some rich people do. Not my type. So the more she acted like this, and when her friends would come over. I had to have fun and act stupid

No, my first post I explaind that some people expect you to get attached to them knowing neither will ever be able to meet. I can't do that and I wont. Now if we can meet whether it be me going to see them or them coming to me. Then and only then I can see myself letting myself get close to somone if it looks like both of us ar will to work for this. Pissing in the wind don't work for me Thats like saying smell, but you can't touch.

QUOTE: From now on, I'm going to be very cautious who I talk to and how involved I get, and how quickly, because it hurts like **** when the other person gets bored, or decides it's just the internet, or they don't have time or whatever. This might be a virtual world, but there are real people on the other end, and real people do get hurt. This happens more often then some will admit. People do get bored, and looking from my perspective. It's harder to keep a women happy then it is a man. So when it does happen for me. Like you said, I have to be more cautious and I have been. Well, I haven't chatted with anyone in a little while so that helps

QUOTE: Well I have become very emotionally attacthed to someone in another state. Been writting and flirting for 8 going on 9 months. Matter of fact, I fell in love with him. I had hopes and dreams of meeting him come spring. Talked about meeting someday. Who says you can't ever meet? Perhaps its not for you and thats ok. I sure wish I lived in the same state as him though. It would be so much easier. If love and mutual feelings exsist, then travel is worth the risk. If a person has no intentions of ever meeting someone from another state- then they should be up front and honest about it. Woman get emotionally attached and men sometimes don't understand that. If a person is'nt up front about it and continues the flirting- well that can be considered leading them on. Just recently he has backed away all the sudden, leaving the site and deactivating. Said he did'nt have time for the computor anymore. He wrote me back on yahoo, but I get the feeling he is saying goodbye without saying it. Perhaps he can't see a relationship through long distance either and just wants to stay friends. I am crushed. I had gotton used to his letters and nudges coming in very regularly and now its empty and gone. Flirting and conversating over a long time can lead to feelings, and unless you make it perfectly clear that you just want to remain friends from the start. Things will happen. This is a dating site. Sorry for the long response, this post just hit a nerve in me. This may be the net but we are still real people behind these screens with real feelings. Some of us are looking for that someone special. JMO Oh and Shadow good to see you.
Good to see you to MsTeddyBear
Your right about being up front and I always have been, especially with somone I know I will never meet. For me it is hard to understand how some get so close to others and never meet. I can see being close as friends. I'm sorry about what happen to you, but that is why I don't allow myself to get attached to someone on the net. No I did meet someone and we did spend time as you did on the net. We did meet and I ended up having a beautiful little boy with her. that was the only time I allowed myself to get attached. Thats because we were able to meet and spend some time with each other. The thing about your situation. There are people don't think about the other and look at this as just being the net and nothing more. That it's self leads back to when I said, things like this will set a path for some in a unhealthy matter. And the next person has no idea whats coming. |

That should solve your problem. Now, let's crank up "Shebop" and get down!
Ya, that would work, but then again. What if she said ok

QUOTE: I have never experienced what you have, however after chatting with someone every night for 5 months, one does tend to get attached. It sucks, but it does happen. Yes it does happen. I can see getting a litte close to somone, but not attached. It's not something I will ever feel being it's the net. The thing is, a lot of people do it and when things don't work out. Their minds are set in a different perspective and usually it's an unhealthy perspective that sets a path for the next to meet, and they have no idea whats coming. |

QUOTE: Yeah, it happened to me, he turned out to be a psycho and I had to delete my messenger account to get rid of him. The only times I've ever gotten emotionally attached to someone online was when I was stupid enough to believe him when he told me he was emotionally attached to me. Never again. Maybe you should be more careful about spending too much time talking to them? Many people mistake time spent for feelings shared, when a lot of the time, the other person is just there cause they're bored, not cause they give a damn personally. For me, I have never let myself or can let myself get emotionally attached to somone on the net. It's not real for me unless we actually spent time together face to face. I'm up front when I meet people to where I stand. To me it's being honest with yourself. Not that this has anything to do with whethere I care or not. It's along the lines of the other knowing themselves and being on the net. Who knows how a person really is. The last time this happen was over a year ago. I was being pushed and you can't make anyone feel for somone weather you like it or not. So I have limit myself on how far I will go with things. This way, there is no mistake being made on my part and if I feel a person is starting to get attached that i will ne ver meet. I back of in a respectful matter. |

I met a couple different women on the net, and what happened, happened with both of them.
It started out harmless flirting, then went into a little roll playing. I'm find with this, but there is a limit to things with me being on the net "and I let them know this." I'm here to meet people and have fun. Next thing I know as time goes on the conversations start getting a little more serious. Still, i'm fine with this, there is nothing wrong in sharing with somone and to me it's a part of life on how we grow and learn things. Then the table turns from being a friend and having a little fun, to this person wanting me to get emotionally attached to them. Now, on a normal situation to where the person is in my area or where I can meet them face to face. I might consider getting a little close to them if we can actually spent time together. This situation is where the person lives out of the states and we will never meet, but is pushing for me to get emotionally attached to them, and stating that they are already emotionally attached to me. Sorry, but this will never happen with me on someone I will never meet face to face. It's false feelings to me. Has this ever happen to you on the net? If so, how did you deal with it? If not, how would you think you would deal with it? |
