I can be, I suppose. I have certain things I want to try to achieve, and I have yet to find something (or one) that would take me from those. The only person who had tried to make me choose lost me, and much as it hurt I don’t regret it.

Maybe I am cold, but would have to be a very amazing person to even have a chance of me giving up my freedom. I like my ability to run.

I hope you enjoyed the clips! I have been replaying the Muppets covering Paul Simon for weeks. And I think the song is appropriate to the image, because I think bra lady is being rather seductive, no?

Living in shit was comforting for me for as long as it was possible. And the good kind of bad company is often the very best kind.

Feelings of entrapment might not reflect reality on the ground, but sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

Oh, yes, Flower–I don’t mean that anyone should stay in a demeaning, violent or codependent relationship. Sometimes indeed we have to save our souls alive. We have a proverb: Better alone than in bad company.

A piece of advice I remember from a well-known Seattle sex columnist: “If you break up, you’ll have a couple of horrible rock-bottom years, but in the long term you’ll be grateful you did it. If you stay together, you’ll spend the rest of your life like this. Just like this.” He was talking about a particularly awful compulsive relationship, but I think many of us tend to avoid breaks that are good for us because we don’t want to deal with the immediate pain or inconvenience.

But if you get yourself free you can enjoy this gem with extra heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpugOJqGFb8&feature=related

If you see permanence as chains, is that love and adoration?
It sounds like you’ve already chosen.

I’m afraid one day the boyfriend I love & adore will try & make me choose…
I already know what my choice would be.
The empty space left by him, could be filled with adventure& travel
The empty space left by choosing chains, could never be filled.

I was looking in the archives for earlier pages, from 2003 and other years, and they’re gone. Is there any way I can see them again? I love reading all of these over sometimes.

So true. Makes me think of when I see guys on T.V. or whatever having trouble with the “it’s me or the dog” scenarios. I always think, “You know, just pick the dog. He was there first and he won’t make you choose.” Even if they do love the woman that much, they’ll end up resenting her afterwards. So, it’s probably just a good rule of thumb to always pick the dog.

Oh. Then there’s this guy I know (friend of a friend). His girlfriend gets mad at him if he goes on business trips. Or out with his friends. Or works too much. Or doesn’t spend enough time with her (not his) kids when he’s home. And this guy’s so desperate to get married and have a family, he’s willing to put up with all of it. Mark my words: it won’t end well. I just hope they don’t get married before they figure that out.
