ME ...awwwwwwwwwww damnit.
i'm officially single.
i don't know how to feel exactly.
thank you to everyone who has been so sweet and kind and supportive of me, you have no idea how much it's meant to me.
((Tink)) I'm sorry for your hurt. Be careful about rebound relationships. Give yourself some time to adjust. I do recommend a book by DR Gray "Mars & Venus Starting Over" It has some really good points to help you over the rough spots you will be going through. You're young and beautiful and have plenty of time for relationships so take it slow. Be sure and get out with friends and enjoy life.
i just wanted to let everyone know that i want to get on with my life and my feeling sorry formyself additude.
i am going to learn from the past, and press ahead.
this may have come to some of you... how did you get tired of living out the past and getting on with life after the dubs?.
My years of depression left when I got rid of the things causing it. My religion and my marriage. Find out what causes it and deal with the problem. Facing my problems head on gave me the peace of mind and happiness that I was looking for. Continually set goals and give yourself the time to reach them. Nothing happens overnight. Glad to hear you're doing better.
just curious about something that i am trying to understand in my marriage.
when i am not at work i am usually home.
my husband is home all day due to being retired due to a work disability.
Marriage is a partnership. It should be a give and take. You both should be seeking to give to the other. If he wants you to watch TV with him then he should also be willing to get up off the couch and do other activities of your choice. Sounds like you two are in a rut. I have a friend that I spend allot of time with and I love watching TV with him because he loves to cuddle with me and at least he knows I'm there with him. He also knows that I love to go out so we go dancing, out with friends, we have friends over for meals. Last weekend he went with me to a memorial service for a friend of ours. He wouldn't have normally gone because he hates those things. Afterwards, we spent the day at the flea market, came home cooked dinner and spent the evening together watching TV and talking. Give and take is what makes a relationship. *Shrugs, maybe we have such a good time together because we're not married..LOL
single or married or living with someone (if you can talk about).
what do you :like in your situationdislike in your situation.
for better understanding please tell us also your age.
36 / Single / I have been on my own for a year now. I love being single and the freedom that goes with it. Yes, it can be lonely at times but nothing is worse then being married and still having that lonely feeling and I had that for a long time. I miss the giving of myself 100% to someone. I like to do for other people that makes me happy. Yes. I'm sure I will marry again but to someone that appreciates every facet if me and doesn't want to change a thing about me. The dating thing is a little awkward. I'm seeing someone now but at this point there is no commitment and I'm free to date other people. For the most part it's a great situation I have someone to be intimate with and still able to keep my options open. Being raised the way I was as a JW I sometimes feel I'm going against the grain. I guess at this point of my life I just need the time to learn about myself. I could be happy either way.
what is the worst thing that can happen if a brother/sister moved in with a worldy person?
both are of the same gender.
can there be reproof, elders meetings, loss of privledges?
LMAO @ Six

those of you on this board who were given the big d -- how did you actually feel at the moment the chairman of the jc that dfd you said those words -- angry -upset -toatl relief -- yipee?
again sorry if there has been a post on this subject before --but an update for us newer ones never does any harm
I received a call from the PO of the last cong. that I went to and they wanted to meet with me. I told him that I had no need to meet with them. He then put me on speaker phone where the committee meeting was now in session. (yep they will do it over the phone) They asked if it was true my then soon to be x-husband would have a scriptural divorce. I said yes. Then they asked if I was still engaging in wrongdoing. I said it wasn't any of their business what I was doing. They wanted some details. Again, I said it was none of their business. I told them I knew how the game was played and to do what they needed to do. They said I was defiling the cong. I said funny how I could do the since I hadn't even been there in 2 years. Anyway, they said they would call back with their decision. I said don't bother..15 minutes later they called back and said I would be DF'ed the following week unless I wanted to write a letter to appeal it. I told them not to bother checking the mail and hung up. When I put the phone down I realized I never felt so relieved that all the pressure of it was over. There is family that I lost over it but it boils down to it being their choice. No more looking over my shoulder. No more feeling that I was still tied to something I no longer wanted to be tied to. Free to be me. I guess I was ready for it to be over and it was done on my terms. I know that many don't have that choice ((((to all that have and will be hurt)))) Only thing I have to say is ..if you know it's going to happen..DO IT ON YOUR OWN TERMS!!!
subject: are you a real woman?
ladies - if you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up.
real woman - if you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad.
teejay...
Okay.... so now that we know how a Real Woman handles her bidness in the kitchen, please do tell us ways to tell a Lady from a Real Woman ... you know ... in that other room. Or do you have the nerve?Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. Real Woman - Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. You are probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it anyway.
to those who have been here since the beginning:.
i have been a member jwd for close to 2 years now.
i lurked some time before "taking the plunge" lol.
I have to say that with the last year that I had that I was carried by many posters here..so much love and support and you know who you are..There are so many new ones here now and I'm not feeling as comfortable as I once did..maybe cause when you leave chat the talk behind your back and their real feeling come out..funny they can come up with them when they haven't a clue about you..I'm thinking that's just their own insecurities. They don't know our stories and draw their own conclusions. Whatever!
