  Lovers becoming friends

  by JRK in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  please help me understand the dynamics of it.

  how do you go from being intimate to becoming buddies?

  i have always been better at being a friend than being in a relationship.

  Sending hugs your way. You sound like a sweet guy who will someday soon (be positive, it's the best chick magnet ) make someone very happy.

  My take on it, after being hurt in love a few times... I dated a guy when I was very young (aged 17, before I was baptised) and things were going great. IFAIK, I wasn't being clingy, or otherwise doing or not doing anything that would drive someone away. His behaviour got more reckless and our relationship ended. I never really understood why until we reconnected as platonic friends 10 years later. It turned out he'd been sexually abused by his father. No wonder he had trust and intimacy issues.

  You can never know what's going on inside a person's head, but sometimes if you stick around they'll trust you enough to open up. Time does help heal. The scars may still be there, but know that maybe in time, you can be friends again.

  Hey talesin! *waves*

  I was thinking to myself this morning that I hadn't seen you around on here lately. Glad you're OK.

  BTW, cantleave ...

  ^ UK spiders DO bite! :( ^

  Tal, I can sympathise. I've had this one a week and the swelling has gone down a lot. Though from the sounds of it, yours is much worse. Pamsgirl noticed it when she visited me earlier today. Daddatron reckons there may be a few exotic arachnid species in the area. It's not unheard of for some to be found in boxes of imported fruit & vegetables.

  My Old KH in the News - "Vicar fury at new home for Jehovahs"

  by cofty in

  my old kingdom hall at berwick-on-tweed has finally been sold to an art dealer after being on the market for a couple of years.. this week they were granted planning permission for a quick build on a site in a village just outside the town.

  "rev matthew knox, vicar of tweedmouth and priest in charge of st peters church in scremerston, argued the plan should be turned down because it is not a place of christian worship as stated in the application.".

  the story is the front page headline today in my local paper, the berwick advertiser.. here is a couple of gems from the article... "it is not part of churches together in berwick, it has its own translation of the bible and to my knowledge discourages independent thinking with the real threat of members being shunned by all other members if they dispute their governing bodys official doctrine.".

  Hahahaha priceless! More chance of Celtic and Rangers ground sharing. - Cofty

  Damn right. This really made me chuckle.

  I like how they call them Jehovahs! - serenitynow

  It's a very British thing that. I spent my entire school years being called a "F*ing Jehovah".

  I do feel sorry for those that were lured into conversion by the resurrection promise. Those people were, and still are, vulnerable and in need of bereavement therapies. In the case of many of my family, it's what keeps them in.

  It's so twisted that they need help to realise that the whole reason some of them will shun their living family members is due to a 'pie in the sky' dream that by doing so they'll get their dead family members back. THEY NEED HELP!

  My Father passed away during the night

  dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

  he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

  he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

  Whenever I get any - which is now thankfully a rare occurence since my OH told my Mum he/we wouldn't read 'em - they get shredded and put in the paper recycling bags for my local council to turn into something more useful.

  Do you think the British are a proud nation?

  i think we are to a degree but i think its on a different level to the americans.

  the impression i get (from watching us tv and news) is that the majority of americans come across as being proud to be american and quite a possitive nation.

  whereas us brits will display pride as a nation when we have to.
