  I really wish I had some words of wisdom for you because I'm going through the same thing. Get closer to your family, do something for YOURSELF, and don't ever ever blame yourself. It's never just one person.

  This is disloyalty to an extreme. Abandonment is the worst kind of disloyalty.

  Yes, it is, especially when the one partner does NOT want to even attempt to work on things after so long. It is not fair, or right, that one person makes such a decision.

  I think you will find out that you are alot stronger than you give yourself credit for, and you need to believe that you will be ok. Give yourself time to grieve, but don't let it become the focal part of your life. Once you come to terms with it in your mind, then your heart, you will beable to go on and be better for it.

  Can we have a bit more info? It could be that she doesn't want to appear "easy". I say, if the chemistry is there, go for it, don't play games, life is short, enjoy it.

  Yeah, that happens to me too, I'll put "BB" at the bottom of an email etc. I tend to go by my initials for my real name as well, very rarely does anyone call me by my full name IRL. The friends I've made here on JWD usually call me BB when I talk to them, I kind of like it actually lol

  Dinner guest- When you bring wine shouldn't they offer you some?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've gone to many a witness dinner where i would bring one or two nice wines, hoping we would have some with dinner.

  {to numb the boring conversations} only, to find the couple say "thanks" put it in the cabnet....and serve up lemonade..... and it's not an alcohol thing....two different brothers brought out there own "home made" vino instead, which taste like a mixture of fruit punch and vineger!

  Yes, when someone brings me a bottle of wine when I have them over, I definately open it. I love trying different wines, and what better way than to share it with the people that brought it. I too have picked out a really nice bottle of wine, something that I think will compliment the meal being served, only to have it whisked away to the cupboard. I really enjoy sharing a bottle with my guests or hosts and discussing it's characteristics over dinner and how it compliments the food being served.

  That's just good manners (and enjoyable).

  profanity

  by janitorforlife in

  my disfellowshipped dad told me leaving "the truth" had not been good for me as i used too much profanity and liked to drink.

  when i first became "free" i guess i went overboard with profanity and enjoyed the freedom to go to bars if i wanted.

  they were novelties.

  I always remember my English teacher commenting on using common swear words - sign of a weak vocabulary lol. That being said, I rarely swear, but have no hang ups on using the words, and it really does depend on the people I'm around (hint hint A&W LOL), some people just bring out the bad in me.

  As for drinking, I can drink a ton of alcohol and still be relatively sober (ask those at the apostafest that thought they could get me drunk lol), but it's also not something I do on a regular basis (I like my liver thank you very much lol). I have no hang ups though when it comes to drinking, and if I want to party and drink, I do and don't feel guilty about it either (and rarely have a hangover).

  As for drinking and swearing more as an exJW, no I don't think so. My brother and I used to sneak out of the house and go to bars on Friday and Saturday nights, and every Thursday after the meeting a bunch of us would go to a "resturant" after the meeting (it was a resturant during the day - bar at night, most dubs didn't realize this lol). Alot of drinking goes on with JW's.
