OP with the work crush on a single guy in my dept. I am also single. My friend in another dept is now single as of yesterday, and I know that he is interested in her. She's a knock out and can have any guy she wants. I just know they're going to get together. I doubt it will be a long term thing, but I can see it happening in the future some time. I hate this. I don't want to watch and keep my chin up while it hurts my heart. I'm tired of always being the one doing the right thing and getting hurt. I will have in my heart, however, that he hit on me first, months ago, and that it's my choice (and the right choice) not to get romantically involved with a guy in my dept.

My sister has been researching our family tree for quite a long time. A while ago she came across a family who in the year 1967 lost four young children all within months of each other. She's been trying for so long to find out what happened to them. Today she finally got the answer - measles. They were 1 year old twins, a 2 year old and a four year old. It's just so sad. As a mother of young children myself I can't possibly imagine the heartache she must have felt having her children die one after the other.

The other night at bf's house, he asked me a question and told me to say all the things that come to mind when I think of men, and not to filter anything. Everything I said was negative. Then I asked him the same question about women. Everything he said was negative. He has said many times that after meeting me I have restored his faith in women, saying that I'm a very kind person, and not the typical arrogant, bitter, bitchy women he has run into in the dating world. We're both middle-aged, divorced, with adult kids, no ex drama. I'm proud of how I've healed and recovered from my divorce and the heartbreak I experienced, but after that and then a few years in the dating world, I do have quite a different outlook on men, in general. Bf is a good guy, for the most part - haha, but it was interesting to hear the words that came out of my mouth answering his question.

I just hope that the cop that shot Michael Brown has really sat and thought about what happened and knows in his heart of hearts, with God looking over him, he did the right thing. If he can sleep at night and get a good night of rest..then okay. But if there is a twinge of doubt he screwed up, I hope he comes forward to say that.

I don't know if it's me, or him, or what. First off, he can't even hold a conversation. I'm noticing his immaturity even more. Second, I'm realizing I'm relieved & a little happy about his departure. When he was around daily, he was all I thought about, fantasized about, and wanted. He was breaking my heart; now I'm just glad because I can move on & be done with those feelings. I was so hurt & longing to be with him all those months; now it's out of sight, out of mind. We talk online but he can't even say more than a few words. It's like, Hello McFly?! But he's so young he wouldn't get that reference. What a waste! I'm so eager to move on and forget the whole worthless thing. I'm amazed at how meaningless he means to me now.

My anniversary with my ex-husband was on Sept. 12. On 9/11, however, we had just moved into a new apartment and my mother was having heart surgery 5 hours north of us. So we woke up to the chaos in NYC, chaos in our apartment, held each other tightly in shock, then got in the car and drove north, listening to the radio the entire way, then sat in the hospital waiting for my mom's surgery to be finished and watching the news. My dad took us to dinner on our anniversary, but we were pretty much over it.

I am surprised at how well I'm taking his leaving. I don't miss him or feel as heartbroken as I thought I would I wonder why?

I'm in my upper thirties and I've never liked my older sister! She's just a cold hearted selfish bitch. Always has been. She doesn't have female friends for long because she sleeps with their partners then when caught blames her "friend" I've never met anyone half as screwed up as she is. We had the same childhood so wth? I'm absolutely ashamed of her, don't want her around my friends or myself. She'll rob you blind, lie, start a fist fight with someone anytime you're forced to deal with her. Since I avoid anything involving her I'm a bitch of course. I would never have a real wedding because of her! All eyes always have to be one her(funerals, weddings ect) otherwise she throws a huge fit. She's 41. Age hasn't changed her one bit. My friends are my family. Blood doesn't equal love, bonds. Sad but true.

He wasn't a bad husband. We slowly but surely grew apart over the years. I tried hard to rekindle the relationship, and at first he tried too, but then it was like he just gave up trying. Guess he liked the aloneness more. We had many years of a great marriage, while it lasted. I was devastated and heartbroken, but sometimes you just have to let go. He was a good husband.

Crushing on divorcing guy in my department. We flirt a little (we're BOTH single). But I try to keep up boundaries because I think it's not good to date in the department. He's so hot though. Amazing eyes. He makes me LAUGH. Do you know how long it's been since I laughed? He scares the shit out of me, actually. I'm so confused. Today I extended his deadline on something, and he said I was sweet. My heart fluttered. But I assured him I did it for selfish reasons since I needed more time too. Face:Palm. Why did I have to brush it off?! Oh yeah: boundaries.
