Actually, this was sort of the last hurdle to telling people. I held this one back until the very last.
sorry to hear it man Ya'll were so cute together [fromthe man that *grin* never even seen ya together ] Glad you were able to remain friends that is extremely fortunate and QUITE A BLESSING Rocket River
Sorry to hear that. I don't know your situationation but, I had friends that had a similar situation. They got back together. Nothing like being lonely to change your perspective on things. Best of luck and I hope everything turns out the way you want it to.
Surprising news to say the least. It seems like ya'll are going out on your own terms. Best of luck to you, Jeff.
No one should bother. I think she wants to put as much distance between her and this BBS as possible after me.
damn....another reason why I gota keep my wife happy... Ive never not had facial hair ever since I could grow it... and I keep looking for that elusive job that will allow me to keep my hair long.
well, being in a band has to be a plus, otherwise everything i ever thought worked simply doesn't (i thought long hair was good??? i guess not).
Mrs JB tells me that I should have no problems for the following reasons: I'm a musician I co-own my own business I love animals I am a good cook I count massage therapist among my former careers and am still pretty damn good at it I don't smoke or do drugs I own my own home I actually like to shop for clothes (no matter how gay it sounds) I dunno. We'll see. Frankly, I'm not really that worried about it at the moment. I'd just like to have some fun. I was in serious relationships throughout my 20's, so I'm not sure how quickly I'll want to leap into another relationship anyway.
Hey, shouldn't these reasons make here reconsider?! Like everyone else, I'm shocked. I don't post very often, but I do feel like I know a lot of the people here on the board... I've been reading and posting for seven years now. Crazy. I always thought you guys had a great relationship, and I'm really wondering what happened. I know, I'm a curious person!
Man, sorry to hear it Jeff, but if it is for the best, it is for the best. It's got to be a depressing thing to go through. Hang in there.
Wow, this sucks man. Definitely reaffirms my decision to never get married. But as far as the living arrangements you have, best of luck to that. I am in the EXACT situation you are in (having an ex as a roommate, together a long time, best of friends, amicable split) and well, let's just say I hope it works out better for you then it has for me. Keep your head up, get in (better) shape, get out there and get some. That's the best cure. If you want all the reasons being single is awesome, let me know. I'm single and loving life.
Those are all superficial things. They aren't really about long term relationships anymore than "long walks on the beach" and "listening to live music" would fit that category. We do have a good relationship, just not one built for marriage. RocketsPimp: No, my being on the board didn't play a role in this whatsoever. I was kidding.
See, I don't have a problem with marriage and this certainly won't deter me from doing it again if I find the right person. We were 22 when we fell in love and just weren't mature enough at that point to really come to grips with what long-term relationships and marriage mean. That isn't to say that some can't figure it out at a young age and get it right the first time. Many couples do. We just weren't one of them and, given the fact that now 54 percent of marriages end in divorce, we clearly aren't alone in this one. I don't have any problems with long-term committment or marriage. I'll just be much more careful and deliberate the next time I'm with someone and I think it could be love.
Jeff, you know my story, and while your divorce and my divorce could not be on further sides of the spectrum, I still have a feeling that there are some feelings you are keeping to yourself. If they are there, vent them. If not, good luck friend. Just thinking about divorce of any of my friends makes me nauseous.
