Soul mate is another term I use for life partner. Someone you can count on to work through the hard times and will stay by your side until whatever is causing the waves gets figured out. A person with real dedication to themselves, first, and then to you. It takes two strong, independent people to make most relationships work, imo. I am a hopeless romantic, truth be told :P but my family and extended family have shown me how accepting real love into your heart will help you see that the person you have will be the person you always have if you care enough to understand them. I am on my second marriage and after the stress and chaos I caused in my first, I realize now that if you decide to get married you really need to understand and practice sacrifice, dedication and empathy if it's going to work. My wife isn't something to be had, won or possess. She's her own star in an infinite galaxy and I am thankful everyday that I had the gravity to attract her and I work everyday to keep that gravity strong!

I have an interesting story to tell and this is as good a place as any.
At my previous employer (worked there 1985-2000) had my eye on a girl that was not in my department, we played company volleyball together after work. At the time she was married so I had no real interest, other than I could see she was attractive and a nice person. Fast forward to 1995 and I find out through the grapevine that she was getting a divorce. I approached her trying to feel her out on whether she would want to go out with me. Turns out she was in a relationship and nicely told me that she wanted to see how things would go with this guy first. I leave said company in 2001 and in 2014 I find out my former coworkers got together once a year at a bar to catch up. I decide to go out of curiosity. This girl walks in "alone" and looks pretty good for mid-fifties. We start talking and I could tell she wanted to date me.. but I was used to single lifestyle and wanted to remain living that way. She started sending me emails and I finally decide to go out with her in 2016. An already long story short. She moved in this past September after selling her house and things are stressful at times because of the adjustment for both of us. Most of the time things are fine.. but she says sometimes she is down and feels lost?..... Bigger adjustment for her than me but I'm a little worried on what if things don't work out. Guess... time will tell. |

Just that she lives in my house and would not be a pleasant experience to go through. She has money from her house sale. So she could buy a property. I have never lived full time with anyone before. That's probably part of it.

Gotcha, that is definitely a huge change in lifestyle. It is good that she has money and isn't dependent on you financially. Having a cohabitant has it pro's. The company is nice and having someone else around to assist with house functions and duties is nice. I imagine things are quite awkward at the moment.

Aren't we all healing from something? This sounds like pass, pass and pass to me.

DING DING DING!!! Also sound like an excuse not to put out. I'd rather have a girl that doesn't use a rubber crutch and isn't afraid to admitting to wanting/needed it just as much as I do. I have no time for games.

Yes, until you find out her last name is "OfArc". I'm really wondering if they should be doing tests of the water where Doc is from. Could be the next Flint, Michigan. |

Except we know her real name isn’t Joann... or Joanna or anything normal. Doc doesn’t date girls with normal names. This probably was Kerie from Mexican night or if it’s really a new one her name might be Johandy or something...
