  Can you be "just friends" ?

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  ok this one is 2 fold..... tonight i was chatting to my ex on the internet and despite 5 years elapsing, he wants to go out for a beer.

  he was a creep at the time we split, good looking and all the rest, but prone to violent outbursts and had this knack of making me think i didn't need any other friends (i gradually dropped them all) whilst all the time becoming more controlling........it messed up my head at the time.

  (like a dumb twat i even gave him all my visa cards as he said he'd be better at managing "our" money) apparently he is now a changed person, and i am too, no longer as gullible as i once was.

  Thanks for that EF.

  I guess it takes one gay guy to understand another. Ain't it weird to be a minority in a minority!!

He is moving away, and wants to meet up one more time, and we did have a laugh at other times..........although I honestly feel nothing now

  In October this year, a friend of mine from work and me are getting a mortgage on a house together, I'm sick of renting, and so is she. It makes perfect financial sense, and we have become the best of friends. We are so relaxed in each others company and have a great time together.

  2 Questions

  1. Is seeing your Ex again just asking for trouble?

  2. Can a gay bloke and a straight girl really make it together?

  Silly I know.....but just questions going through my mind tonight.

  I think they do that red and white smoke thing......... you know white smoke whilst a new pope is being chosen, then it turns red when a decision has been reached......or something like that (so I heard, could be the other way round))

  hrh prince charles and his boys were being interviewed by the bbc.

  the super-sensitive microphones picked up his comments to the boys while they were being interviewed on the ski slopes in klosters.

  we all heard his words as clear as day as they were broadcast around the world.. here's the transcript.

  How can you just let go?

  by squeaky in

  2. relationships

  my boyfriend (on/off 5yrs) has been in and out of this religion since we met 10yrs ago.

  right now, he is back on.

  it's hard for me to cope with his switching back and forth.

  Squeaky....as much as it hurts, I think you have to let him go so he can follow his own path. Like you said, he only seems to be happy when he is following his own JW path. Its a good bet that this is the path he has chosen. Although it might be painful, if that is what his mind is set on, and its not one you want to follow, then wish him well and let him go. Get on with your life and be well, there are plenty more opportunities out there for you.

  The New System...Waiting on Jehovah.... and Acceptance

  2. friends

  i was sitting in the garden having a beer with my dad this afternoon, it was a beautiful warm spring day, and we chatted away .......it's a good thing, my dad and me haven't always got on.

  i think he thinks i'm not the son he held a 3 day party for when i was born, at least i didn't turn out like he'd hoped.

  you see he's a mans man.

I think he thinks I'm not the son he held a 3 day party for when I was born, at least I didn't turn out like he'd hoped. You see he's a mans man. I was supposed to have a blonde on my arm and 3 kids.......well it didn't happen, being gay sort of messes up your parents expectations a bit.........I'm so pleased my brother came along, and provided him with 2 kids by 2 different women and all at the age of 22// but that another story.

  Anyway I came in from the garden to grab another beer, and mum was all tearful. Whats up? I said to her, she said that she'd been watching us from the kitchen window, and despite feeling like she'd gotten over his death, she had spent 20 minutes just staring through the window at me, and I looked just like her dad (my grandad) when he was young, a double she said. It had bought it all back to her. She lost him in 2003, her dad, my grandad. I think it had brought all the memories back to her. I love my mum more than life, so I sat down and we talked, she said that at least when he took himself to bed that day and never woke up, the next thing he would have remembered would be in the resurection (sp) I hugged her and told her that she shouldn't cry, because I'm sure Grandad would be safe in Jehovah's memory. We had a good chat, and even managed to have a laugh when I reminded her that if Grandad had seen her getting into this state, he'd have said "You silly mare.....get yourself together"!

  It made me think for them both, and about my understanding of things. I really hope that the New System will come and someone I love as much as my mum gets to see her dad again, I don't think I'll be there, but I think this is the hardest thing of all, standing on the periphery with a fence post up your arse if u like, but still hoping that people as good as my mum get to get all that they hope for. She wants her dad.

  In another way, I want mine too.

  Things are so much better now, of that I am grateful. If there is a coming New System, I just hope that her wish is fulfilled. I remember a book when I was a kid "Is this Life all there Is" I hope not.........So much finishes in this life without a proper conclusion.

  I give full kudos to those who can just accept that that is it. I can't, I'm trying.

  What was the most INTENSE thing a householder did to you while in Service

  by GetBusyLiving in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was about 10 years old me and my service partner called on a guy that came to the door with a shotgun.

  he just said in the most deadpan voice you can ever imagine: ""if you don't get off my doorstep within the next 30 seconds im going to have to use this.

  " that was some scary shit.. we bolted.
