  • Re: How much should you share of your past?

    "I just figured out really quickly that I (finally) found an all around good guy.  I've had no problems getting dates in my life but they mostly did not go anywhere and that sucked. I wanted this one to mean something so I went slow. I've read on dating advice sites that going slow means a better chance of evolving to a long term relationship. And in my situation it actually worked!"

    Yes, she can easily explain her actions. She wanted a long term relationship and followed advice to change her behavior to get the relationship she wanted.  Seems to me we spend a lot of time around here talking about changing our behavior to influence relationships.  But, double-standard.  That advice is not for women who have not held back sexually, it seems.

    I would let her know in advance that I intended to get my sleep even if I had to go to a hotel for the night to get it. I would let her know that she only had a certain window of time to do her thing, then we would have to take a break until I got some sleep. 

    Then I would go to the hotel and sleep if I needed to. I would reassure her that it was all about me and my sleep and I would be back to re-engage and I wouldn't lose my temper or get all pissy. Check Angeline's suggestions about for maintaining your frame. 

    I would make sure she understood that I wanted to stay with her in the house, but if I needed to go, I would. You would have to have these conversations when she is not upset. Don't spring it on her. 

    It sounds like you need to have some conversations with her anyway. Not for her to apologize, but to make sure she understands how detrimental her outbursts are to the marriage.

    We had a dog get bit by a rattlesnake. Of course it happened onthe weekend, so off to the emergency vet we went. That's the way it went for us, too.  In for a penny, in for a pound. After picking her up and running two miles to the truck and racing into town, we couldn't stop the momentum.

    BTW, Running two miles carrying a 35 pound dog is hard work.  It seems like it shouldn't be too hard with the adrenaline and all, but it is.

    And it still didn't cost as much as your cat, @Chief_TC

    We sighted in the 30-06 today. Oof. I kept thinking, "My shoulder feels okay.  I'll shoot it a couple more times."  I guess my goal was to shoot until my shoulder didn't feel okay anymore.

    ETA:  I wish I had @forestleaf 's shoulders.
