Ok, I finally write again, on the topic of dating, because there are many topics here and there and everywhere. A very few of you know I have been married and divorce three times. I am not going into every detail of what each marraige was like. Because I believe every marraige is happy at the begining, and if it ends in divorce, it usually ends in anger, sadness, bitterness, because of physical abuse, emotional abuse, mental abuse, adultery.... and so on... My last divorce was 4 years ago. My first was in the 80's, he was my neighbor in an apt complex. I had my only child, my son with him... then divorced him in 1990. 2nd marraige was in 1995. divorced him in 1997, I met him through the newspaper ads 3rd marraige was my longest from 2000 to 2005. Met him in an online Christian chatroom. I don't think it matters where we meeet or how long we date the guy/girl, we never know who or what it's gonna be like 2 years, 4 years, 10 years from now. We gotta take risks. Be careful, watch for red flags, don't be such or doormat, don't let people walk all over you... and if you feel uncomfortable with the person, like if you have no trust in him/here, don't get hitched. Don't overlook the bad signs. We can be brilliant, but still be blind and pick the wrong one for us. I am in a new relationship with a guy that i;ve known off and on as friends for 3 years. I am thankful he came around again, because we are so compatible more than we ever knew we could be before, and we communicate really well. And yes he is Catholic, which I didn't know before. So I think this is it for me. So there's my 2 cents worth. PS. I don't think we should go into detail about talking about sex or having sexual chats over chat or on the phone. That's none of other's business. we don't need to know that.
