what my lover wrote to his other girl......

Hi gracious, , , , and good morning. I didn't sleep much the last two days; cleaning and packing, I really can't deal with this anymore. I will talk to you tonight......
KISSESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

In a nutshell, this is EXTREMELY embarrassing.

I have a date tomorrow night and she's made it plain that she wants to come home home with me. The only problem with that is that I'm sleeping on a single-sized air mattress until I get a proper bed.

AND I don't have enough money for a motel room. We talked it out and will get a room next weekend, which happens to be payday weekend.

I feel like a putz!



Update: November 19, 2009.
I THOUGHT I'd included this in an update, but... Just so everyone knows, it's not that I'm worried about what she'll think. The problem lies in the fact that she's about my age and has a touch of arthritis in her knees. I don't want to hurt her. I want it to be a positive experience in ALL aspects. That's why I'm not so sure about an air mattress on the floor. BUT, I've decided to let her make up her own mind on the matter.

Update: November 19, 2009.
One other thing I should add is that she's currently living with her daughter so she can watch the grandkids during the week and help her daughter with the bills. (The daughter is only working a part time job since she lost hers due to the company going under)

What are the rules for giving gifts in a new relationship?

Ok, I've recently started a new relationship and 2 weeks in he sends me roses for my birthday. Now, I'm not complaining but I have NO CLUE what to get him for his birthday or Christmas. (His Bday is Dec 24)

We've only been dating for about 3 weeks, and I don't know him well enough to get him something that would mean anything to him. And I'm not the kind of girl to get him anything lovey-dovey; besides, it's too early in the relationship for that anyways.

I do know he enjoys wine, but I don't want my gift to seem too impersonal.

Any ideas?!?!

Would this annoy you? I had actually like this guy until he gave the impression of a jerk.

I was casually seeing a guy I met through a friend. We had met a few times before he asked me on the first date. We went out about 5 times after that, and then he stopped talking to me. Every time we went out, he initiated it but I always resonded and accepted (except once when I was busy). After the 5th date, I asked him to get together and watch a movie later in the week if he was available, which he replied "we'll see". And of course I never heard from him again--I let it go, never contacted him for an explanation like some women do--I left it at that. Then a couple months later he texted me out of the blue and apologized profusely for how rude he was, and asked if we could still be friends or "something more". (we have a mutual friend and I know he wasn't even in the state at that time).I accepted his aplogies, but did not reply to the "something more than friends" text. Yesterday (two months after his last contact) I woke up to see I had 4 missed calls from him and a voicemail--a drunken voicemail. what gives?

How do you break things off with someone you've been together with for years and live together?

I've been with this person for quite a few years. We have lived together for at least 4 years. My heart hasn't been in this relationship for a while, but he is my best friend. Our relationship is more of a convienence. I know it is time to part, but he has no where to go. I don't know how to tell him or what to do. Any suggestions?

Should I break up with her ?

Been dating for 2 years, both are in mid 40's. She has 4 kids & I have 1 kid. Everyone gets along fine, but we have major lifestyle differences. We had a brief "break up", and she had sex with another man....now we are back together, but I don't trust her, and I don't think we have a future because of our differences. Plus I have an opportunity to date someone else right now...


Update: November 19, 2009.
I appreciate everyone's insight, and my intuition tells me to end it. Would each of you be so kind as to share your thoughts on other pertinent information ? 1 ) She has 4 wonderful kids, and I personally think moving in with her & taking on that unknown should give me carte blanch for type of house to live in...is that reasonable or unreasonable on my part ? She wants the 2+ acre yard/fixer upper & I want to keep it simple with a newer house & .75 acre yard 2 ) Technically we were still seeing each other, and said we could see other people...I saw no one, and she did the eharmony thing & went out to dinner with "a friend"....and she happened to have unprotected sex with that friend .....then she comes back to me saying she wants to just see me....Basically I don't think she cheated on me, but I do think her actions were highly irresponsible and inconsiderate. Thoughts ?

Is it asking to much?

To want a relationship, a happy relationship with a woman that doesn't involve power struggles with her?
I'm to old for this type of nonsense.

How to stop seeing someone?

I broke up with my girlfriend of four years, and obviously (like all men) went straight out and slept with the first person I could pull! Shes a nice girl, but me and my girlfriend are on speaking terms, and we still love each other but had to break up due to it being a hard time to be together and intend on getting back together in the future! However, the girl I slept with wants to see me again, but just as a casual sex thing...but I don't want that because I feel bad on my ex as I know she wouldn't be out meeting new people!

So I have two questions...!

1) Is it wrong to have gone out so soon after breaking up and sleep with someone else?

2) How do I tell this girl that I don't want to see her again, in a nice way?

Thanks!

My S/O read this question to me last night and ask me if I was settling for less because of my age.

I said no, I was happy with him it had nothing to do with age. So in return I asked him the same question. He told me yes he was settling for less because of his age.

I can't stop thinking about it and I'm like well honestly is a good thing I guess. Just not easy knowing your partner would rather be with someone different but is settling with you.

How would it make you feel if your partner said this to you?

Do you find yourself settling for less because of your age?

Are you in a hurry to get married/remarried because you're anxious about not getting any younger, and you don't want to continue to be alone?

The reality check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was walking down the street. I seen this girl sitting down on the bus stop. Then suddenly I see my ex running towards her hugging and kissing her with so much passion.My heart stop, the hair on my back started to stand up, and the tears started rushing down my cheek. I asked myself what's wrong with me!!!! Why my emotion took over me like this?. I broke up with him over a month ago, because I felt he was just that into me. Is this normal? And I'm aware he not good for me because he was just using me for his convenience.
