I think it's the best one.

That's relationships dude. Things aren't always gonna be lollipops and rainbows.

Uh huh....I wouldn't really know lol.

 

[Anubis]

Well, logically, you know that whenever you have more than one person there will always be conflict.

Relationships would be easy if it weren't for that other person with their damn thoughts and opinions.

[Anubis]

That is also what I was thinking.

I'm 28 and I feel old and tired and apathetic.

we told you not to go into the Bat Boards alone for mod duties but noooooooooooooooooooo...



I'm starting to realize that by not going to my work's X-Mas party later on tonight...that it might get me in trouble, but...really not a fan of anybody there and wish I find somewhere else to work in retail. Not mandatory, but most do show up from what I know.

 

[Anita18]

When is a party mandatory? That's kind of stupid. You can't force people to like each other.

[ComicChick]

Valentines Day, New years day, New York I love you(which is really more of an American version of Paris Je t'aime), etc.

guess its good i've never seen any of them

 

[enterthemadness]

So, a friend and former co-worker of mine...just asked me for more gas money on Facebook. I've given him $40 bucks twice on two different occasions and he has not paid me back yet. And he is suppose to get married Tuesday...I am suppose to be a witness, but he has not *shocker* given me the details. We were suppose to hang out last weekend or two ago, and he was gonna pay me back and then some. But nope...requested Tuesday off weeks ago...looks like I lost out on 4 hours of pay since it seems like no wedding will happen.


He knows my situation....I can't keep giving him money...when...my life is a wreck, and every time he says he is gonna pay me back, he doesn't, and keeps asking for gas money about once a month.

Ya know, I try to be a good guy, even with all my ****ing issues...

 

[Anubis]

Break his legs.

They're not terrible, he's just being a film snob. They are what they are, which is not as good as Love Actually, (Or Paris Je t'aime), but not exactly awful.

 

[Warhammer]

I confess that I've grown up never seeing a seemingly positive and successful marriage. My mother and father got divorced. My mother's current marriage isn't in good shape. Neither is my father's current marriage (which with my 7 year old half-sister in the mix, is tragically mirroring my parents' divorce). And on a side note, on my father's side of the family, every member has had a divorce at least once.

I fear that growing up with a single parent, being a latchkey kid, and not growing up in a traditional family model has made me so cold and callous that if I actually do get married, the end result will be divorce. As I'm getting older, I've finally realized that who I am has been defined by my parents' divorce and the aftermath of it.

Sorry for my pity party.

They're terrible. Any movie with Ashton Kutcher is a movie death sentence.

Only if you let it.

I know couples who haven't exactly come from ideal family relationships.

Also have you had a meaningful relationship with someone?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, some people go through that and rather than keep the cycle going, they work harder to make it work.

But that takes effort and I'd rather not bother myself.

My husband's parents are divorced, and you wouldn't know it until he told you. But his mom has had a happy 10-year marriage going with his stepdad (which befuddles him because they bicker a lot, but it's shallow bickering ) and his dad doesn't seem to care anymore about relationships at all. So that's kind of something, I suppose....

Divorce doesn't have to be the horrible thing it's perceived to be. What makes it horrible are when the two exes feel the need to be horrible to each other, during and after the marriage, and I put the blame solely on those two people. Surely they are adults and can act like adults, but from most of the divorces you see, the complete opposite is true. One of my aunts is going through an ugly custody battle that's been going on years and years (it's so bad, her own daughter cut off contact with her and thus our family) and it's ruining multiple families because of course the other side of the family won't talk to our side at all and we're being deprived of knowing our own cousins. People seriously need to grow up, IMO.

It REALLY helps when divorced parents put aside their differences to put their kid first. Yes, my husband had to move his mom and his dad's when he was little, but he seems to have come out of it completely unscathed. As far as I know, I'm his first long-term relationship (we've been together 5 years) and he has absolutely no issues with commitment.

So you don't have to let it define you if you don't want to. It's your choice, although you have to be aware of recognizing the trouble signs and know how to communicate well. Divorce isn't horrible. People being horrible to each other is horrible.

I ended up giving him the money cause of a sob story from his Fiancee.

in uplifting news, tonight is my work's X-Mas Party, but I have a date....with Haven from the DVR. crushing....on that one lady.

I miss Samuel Jackson and his hilarious confessions
He gave us a good breather after a long time without them, we can enjoy more

 

[Bruce Banner]

I confess I've wanted to live in New York a majority of my life. Living with obsessive compulsive workaholics as a child didn't make their crystal clean house feel homely. So I wandered and saw the country.

Graduating college in May and part of me starts to think about other alternatives than my dream city. Like DC, back to Seattle or teaching over in Europe.

I'm afraid that I'm starting to forfeit what I want or think that it's out of reach.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Recent stories of racist cops don't bring a good name for New York
Maybe Seattle is a better choice

 

[Anubis]

Well, as long as you're white in the NYC you don't have to worry about the cops.

 

[Erzengel]

Or Asian. :fist bump:

 

[Bruce Banner]

I haven't paid attention to the whole Racist Cop stuff. Maybe I should.

NYC is a cliched dream none the less. I'd kill to be there but many of course would too. Seattle seemed like a good alternative and I liked the atmosphere there.

I'm just fearing the idea of getting older and more complacent, stagnant and acting like I'm on autopilot.

It doesn't matter which city you live in, but what kind of career or life you choose for yourself.

You can have a boring job but have cool hobbies. A few guys I know in their 30s and 40s with pretty boring desk jobs go on long-haul trips on their motorcycles. Of course they aren't married, though. It's pretty rare to have a partner who's willing to go on crazy adventures with you.

If you want a family, there's always postponing the crazy adventures until after the kids go to college. I never know which country my aunt and uncle are on any given day. That does require money though...
