Aww man, I was away too long - I was going to be all over the little wittle bunny wabbit approach as soon as Wede mentioned Lady Jane boiling something in a pot, but you all beat me to it - well done though, well done! Love the hive mind here.

[UncleWede]

And yet MK is nowhere to be found. He better NOT be talking to some gurrrrlllll!!!!!



ps, CONGRATS

Well if this shit hasn't turned into the equivalent of an awkward high school dance? A handful have dates, while the rest linger and make forced conversation.

Sara dips for bit to ensure the thread isn't consumed by the lack of choices from her dating app and this is what happens. Just look at it!

Sara, I admit defeat. I have nothing of any substance to add to this thread...I mean, I do, but you guys don't want to to hear it. Sara what's going on in the love life? Entertain us.

All I can offer is another important detail (to me) of that night in the club I was talking about before which I'm sure no one wants to hear.

[fiveohwblow]

I got off the market before I had a chance to even experience it. Men scoff and women say "ahhhhhhh" but ultimately marrying your high school sweetheart doesn't leave for many dating stories. Sorry King Rudi I am a not so casual observer. Maybe Sara will share some continued southern app charm...

I'm just giving you lot a hard time. I don't have anything to offer either. The good news is that there isn't any bad news to report either.

Well, kinda.....

Last Friday night, the girlfriend and I discussed moving in together. This is HUGE for me. I spent the first couple of years keeping her at arms length as to not get too close. As of now, I'd let her move in with me in a second; if that were a possibility. Lots to consider and lots to discuss before this actually happens; but I foresee legal documentation being drawn up for this. I've been reluctant to share as not to jinx anything.

Take your time and get all your ducks in a row first. If she's "the one" she'll be happy to work out the details in advance to facilitate an amicable split should your relationship take a turn for the worst. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks man! I appreciate that. This is the exact thing we discussed last Friday night. Neither of us want marriage, we've both been burned...badly. We both agree that we could spend every second together for the rest of our lives without needing to be married. Personally I feel like the construct of marriage is a dated ideology that died in the 80's. The only reason to get married anymore is if A.) you are a young couple starting a family that "thinks" you'll be together forever....whippersnappers or B.) You're buying a house together. Which brings me to the legal end of things. Her children are still young, 10 years before the youngest vacates the home, so her moving in with me is unpractical, which is a shame as my home is paid off. Me moving into her home is out for me as her place is big and nice, but her ex-husband was a DIY-idiot and thought he was Bob Villa....he most certainly was not. I have no desire to spend all my free-time and money correcting his idiotic attempt at upscaling the home. We decided that when the time comes, we'll either sell both homes and buy or build new. This brings us full round to legal representation in the event that things go south after. I'm also very reluctant to sell my home, then go in debt with her to buy another. It's like finishing the race and starting over again based on an emotion. Difficult stuff for me to process and come to terms with.

I'm not one to gamble what I've worked my entire life for, in hopes that someone will continue to love me and keep my best interest at heart. Big risk here. Scares the shit out of me, but at the same time; she is damn good to me.

Yeah, how would the kids work here - I'm confused. If they would move in with you, I see that as a source of strife, the moment they do something to the house you don't like. You are going to be the bad guy. Though its hard, I think maybe the clean slate in 10 years where it is just you both would be easier. But that would be pretty hard to wait perhaps. That's tough - but glad you guys seem to be doing really well again!

Is anyone in this thread getting laid?

[Joekerr]

It isn't a dating story, since I've been married for over a decade, but sharing a story to get things moving again:

My dog is pretty much perpetually scared of anything, he spends most of his time slinking around the house and hiding in closets. I don't know why, maybe we yell a lot as a family, not sure. Just a few days ago, I felt much like my dog, and the two of us spent a decent part of the evening together attempting to avoid my wife and the related tongue lashings I received on multiple occasions that night. He was trying to avoid her because he doesn't like anyone yelling, even if it isn't at him. I was trying to avoid her for much the same reasons, though said yelling was definitely directed my way.

I did deserve it though, and went to apologize after I felt she had cooled down a little. I had engaged a tax lawyer to look into a plan to get some money out of her corporation (that I had told her about and she knew about), but I didn't do enough to make sure to reign said lawyer in, in terms of his fees. And she wasn't aware of his hourly rate, I was, but neglected to pass along that little tidbit. So when his bill came in at just shy of $10K for not even enacting the plan, just telling us a plan (that we decided not to go with because it was too risky), I became persona non grata almost immediately.

Which was fair...I learned a good lesson that night, and I've got a different tax lawyer now going a different way, but his fees are capped and I have that in writing. And now I'm doing penance by taking on additional projects that I might not have otherwise done in order to add bill some clients to try to recover some of that money I spent on the first tax lawyer. But I'm sure my dear wife was again second guessing her decision to marry me in the first place that night.

Truthfully, I probably do a lot of things that causes her to revisit that decision on a fairly frequent basis. Its sort of a miracle I'm still married. She *says* she'd be lost without me, but I think she'd manage to find her way pretty quick!
