Is anyone else familiar with Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I prefer in this order: 1) Quality time (even if it's just being in the same room reading a book quietly) 2) Acts of service (cooking, cleaning, going grocery shopping together) 3) Physical touch (making love, holding hands, kissing, spooning) 4) Words of affirmation (besides the usual 'I love you', getting encouragement for an upcoming promotion or a compliment) 5) Gifts (Nothing fancy! I'll accept: tacos; chocolates; flowers; dog toys, food, snacks for my pups)

I wasn't a nerd, but I did play 1st string trumpet (band geek) in our military marching band, sang Alto in choir, was a member of SADD, teacher's pet, worked the school front office as a student assistant, did volunteer work with the local city K9 unit, was recognised by our city mayor for some of my work... I did not go to my high school prom, but I did go to the after-hours party that night.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 27, 2020:

If I notice my guy being too friendly to others (especially women), I'd have a problem with that. Being nice is great, but overly friendly and overly helpful while ignoring our relationship, that would do it for me. There has to be boundaries. You can't help everyone.

Celibacy vs.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Jan 28, 2019:

I have been celibate for almost 5 years. No sex toys, nothing. I don't recommend it to anyone, but it's what I've chosen. I meditate, exercise, and keep my mind as busy as I can from the thought of sex until the right man for me comes along. He's gonna be in for a huge surprise after he experiences me.😊 Reason being, I haven't met anyone who wants to be with me for me. If a guy's only constant compliment to me is, "You're so hot. Oh, you're sexy, etc" he's not for me. While I appreciate compliments I don't like feeling like an object of sexual gratification. To each his own.

Would you get into a relationship with a person who already had kids with previous partners/partner?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Dec 10, 2018:

Of course, I would! If I love him, I'm going to love his children as my own as well. In my personal experience, I've never had an issue with a man's children not liking me. It's been his ex/ baby mama drama. THAT there was and would be the cause of my break up with a man. (If his ex is psycho towards me.) His children and mine will ALWAYS be our priority above anything or anyone. _________ Disclosure: He can't have more than 2 kids. A guy with too many kids (more than 3 max) is a turn-off for me. And if he has multiple baby mamas, even worse! (Unless we make one of our own.) Which is not likely to happen. Thanks to birth control!!!

SleeplessInTexas comments on Apr 23, 2019:

I don't want to die anytime soon, but I'm kind of excited to see what's next when the time does come. We do not truly die. I believe that our energy lives on.

Marriage in society today

SleeplessInTexas comments on Jan 29, 2019:

For marriage to work, it takes two strong, unselfish, imperfect, and responsible people. Sadly, I've been in your shoes: DIVORCE! I did not fail in my marriage. He did. What he did to me really didn't hurt me as much as how it affected the other person. He cheated on me with another military service member's heartless wife. Her husband was deployed to the front lines of the Iraq war in 2006. My then husband was also there, but in the Green Zone, guarded by real heroes like this woman's husband. *too long of a story to tell* After finding out about my husband's betrayal, I was more concerned for the well-being of my fellow brother-in-arms whom my ex-husband had just betrayed. I didn't care about my own feelings. I was angry because my husband could have caused the lives of other service members by forcing another to become emotionally and mentally compromised and risk the mission at hand to stay alive and keep others safe! THAT'S the shit that did it for me. I couldn't forgive that. What he did was unfathomable and unforgivable! I had no choice, but to request that our marriage be terminated as quickly as the courts could grant it. I paid my Attorney up front in one lump payment and whatever it took to help make this divorce quick and painless. She did not disappoint. I filed for divorce in mid-December 2006; was officially divorced by the mid-March 2007. I warned my ex-husband to not try to fight the divorce. I deserved a peaceful ending after what he did. I hired a good Attorney whom I had once worked for. She warned him too. I was more than generous during our divorce and asked for nothing, but my house and kids. I signed the waiver to not accept alimony. That's how angry I was inside that I didn't want a single penny from him. Just child support. I didn't want to look at him. I was embarrassed and disappointed. He apologised profusely, but his betrayal to another military service member was too much for me. I requested that he apologise to the soldier instead.

SleeplessInTexas comments on May 11, 2019:

I grew up in a wonderful town. Went to school in an awesome school. I was a band and choir geek. I feel proud to say our schools practiced these etiquettes. I never saw or heard fights out in the field or amongst parents. Our players took a knee when a player was injured or they would help each other up. They always talked out problems like modest adults. We had successful years with the best coaches, football, soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. players. I'm proud of where I grew up (even though it was a Christian school/community). I grew up in a wonderful christian community. Not promoting christianity, but it was always good to me. I didn't fall out of the religion because of a bad experience. I fell out of it because something unexplainable changed my mind and opened my eyes.
