^ I definitely have to agree with that.
But I can't stand it when people won't take "no" for an answer and think that calling me bad names because of my rejection is okay.

[Joce Paradox]

Same. I've had several guys on facebook get interested in me and not leave me alone when I'm just like fine with being friends but not wanting anything else. And then people will complain about being "friendzoned" when nobody can really help who they're attracted to.

Ugh, tell me about it! When I was 20, I think, I was really into this one guy. I liked him for a year and a half or maybe even two. Then I was like I need to get over him because I was convinced he was never going to be interested. I managed to get over him, and one night out he drunkenly confessed that he had a thing for me for years. I was like nice timing, buddy. If only I had known back then.

I also managed to get over the guy I was talking about on the first page (a lot has happened in the past month, and I've realized we're best just as friends). And now that I'm focusing on me and how to better myself, he (and other guys ) are getting drawn in.

Well, it's still great that you got over him and managed to keep the friendship

[MissAndieWitter]

Thanks. Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. But I'm glad it's almost gotten back to normal.

Bumping the thread back from the third page in case anyone needs any romantic relationship advice

[Aurora Cormier]

Great, I love this thread

[begin again]

Such an interesting thread

[Yellow Mustang Girl]

Feel free to ask for any advice or just talk about the great moments in your relationship

I have been married for 10 years, together for 16. My husband works 3rd shift so we barely see each other, we are also broke and have three kids so there is no "date night" We go out once a year for our anniversary if we are lucky. Sometimes we go years before we have one on one time.
He's a great guy, I just feel like I don't even know him half the time because we barely see each other or talk.

[Aurora Cormier]

I'm so sorry Sarah

To be honest, I think a lot of folks who are married with kids and work different shifts feel like this I think it's a stage that many relationships go through. Is there a way you can try to incorporate more time together? Even if it's with the kids?

[~Unfaithful~]

Once it gets nicer, I know we planned on walking trails and hiking the river trails.

[Aurora Cormier]

^ That sounds good

[Yellow Mustang Girl]

Yea, just getting out doing some things together will help. Sometimes it takes time and effort and work to try to spend intimate time together.
