curiousnycgirl Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Just thought I would let everyone know - that despite all the challenges we face - sometimes actually keep getting better. I've been dating my b/f for about 14 months now. For the most part it's been lovely, but like any and all relationships there have been moments where I question his committment/involvement. A few months I discussed this with him, told him I felt I had opened my life, family, friends to him - and that he had not done the same. At the time he said he was sorry I felt that was and that he would keep it in mind (gee nice, huh?). Well 2 weeks ago he brought me to his family reunion! What a major step! Now in another 2 weeks we are traveling to Wisconsin for his surrogate parents' 50th anniversary party! Suddenly I feel part of his life, and it is WONDERFUL!! Just thought I would share some happy thoughts!
johan Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Just thought I would share some happy thoughts! Enjoy your happy thoughts while they last. The majority of serious relationships end short of marriage. Roughly half of marriages end in divorce. The long-term outlook for you, frankly, is not good.
lost_in_chgo Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Especially if you go into it with a negative attitude. ahhh the power of positive thinking....
flowergirl Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Johan, that's cruel to mess with someone's happy feelings like that, many of us on here are currently or have suffered from broken hearts, but please don't take your problems out on other people. And Curious, I'm happy for you girl, good luck in your future!!
Author curiousnycgirl Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 Johan - I totally understand your thoughts, been there, done that. Poor dear we are all here for you. Flowergirl - thank you! Like I said I just wanted to share something positive, to not always be a downer on the board. Alas I am sure I will have more down moments to share as well. But for now.....
johan Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Sorry. I get provoked when people type "wonderful" all in caps. I'm happy for you though. Even though I crapped all over it, I still thought it was a nice thing to read about. I like true stories that give me hope as much as anyone.
Author curiousnycgirl Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 Johan - Totally fair point - actually now that you point it out - almost makes me want to puke too. Guess after all these years of putting up with enormous amounts of cr*p from b/f's I am so very happy that just being myself and being honest proves to work. Even if this doesn't make it the long haul - it's been a very positive experience.

You shouldn't have taken me seriously. I'll be more careful next time. I must remember the smilies.
