But from what he's saying here, it doesn't seem like he's looking for friendship. And it doesn't seem like he keeps friendships going when he's dating someone.

Maybe

I tried asking him about that earlier in the thread, but he never responded to it.

Well it's worth a try anyway

They're PHYSICALLY here, but their brains got lost somewhere in space between the moon and the stars.

You will find the right woman for yourself at the right time. GOD BLESS

just wanted to say that i am one of them. i have been waiting to find my one and only so long that i cant wait to just be with him as much as possiable, although i am afraid of scaring him off because i might just smother him a little too much. :)

anyway, she is out there and if you lived a little closer and were a little older i would try to talk to you more because you have an amazing smile and great eyes and im having a hard time finding guys like you here in wisconsin. maybe it is time for me to move and see what else is in the world outside of wisconsin.

take care and GOD bless you on your search!, annie

Down to earth girls are getting harder to find for everyone. I think it has a little to do with all the craziness that the celebrity divas are doing and all the media coverage for them. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and all the rest who make it look like anyone can just run around having fun all the time with all the drama.

As for the relationship, you can not expect her to give up her old life just because you two are in a relationship now unless she is trying to get away from her old life...maybe find someone in the witness protection or something then...lol

You can look at a relationship as two rivers coming together and flowing out to the ocean. They need to be able to merge together. You need to accept her friends and family just like she needs to be able to accept yours because they are part of who you are. But just like when you are single, friends come and go so if her old friends do not like her in a relationship they can try to tear you apart...but it is up to her which way she goes...

I couldn't have put better myself~Gravel
Civic, I wish you good look in all you're looking for and here's something to cheer you up:

Im here Reading...lol

This notion scares the crap out of me.

I think he just wants her to be all about him and their life, rather than spending time with friends and doing stuff on her own.

I'd never give up my friends for a guy. I'd also never give up things I enjoy doing just for a guy.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

I would want my life with a man to be a joint life as well. Our life, our home, our plans for the future, etc. But, I would also expect that we would have separate interests and activities that would continue. I don't think it's healthy for a couple to spend their every waking moment together and only participate in activities they can do together.

Just wondering..maybe you are smothering her? Too much time can be overwhelming. Maybe you can find ways to spend time with her AND her friends? A party, a picnic and so forth. Experiment with different ways to incorporate her needs as well.

Exactly.

That's 191!

it's got me checking to make sure that the signature IS on the dee-vorce decree

and that there is only 1 car in my drive way

U got my point?

yeah i feel ya pain but what can you do ...either choose differently or compromise or cut down on the cuddletime maybe just a wittle bit smile

Some very good advice on this thread. It seems the that the original poster may have some inner issues to resolve first. I know its hard to admit the we may be doing something wrong ourselves. But if you're stuck on certain areas of your life, it's usually a big indicator that the problem stems from "you". Talking to people helps, ask close friends and family if they have any "insight" into your problem. Most times loved ones see things, but don't speak on it, so as to not hurt your feelings. But I've been through it to. I'd rather have people tell me about my faults,and get hurt/mad for a minute, then go the rest of my life feeling that I'm missing out on something good.

Good luck and God Bless.
