SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 21, 2018:

Don't give up! He's out there waiting for you to find him, Marianne! He's probably out there on the verge of giving up on love himself, but it's that glimmer of hope he has that you will come into his life and complete him.

Men and women who served in the military - what’s the biggest misconception of war?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 20, 2018:

The government tries to brainwash military service members into thinking that going to war is a patriotic duty where we are there to fight for freedom. But our freedoms are right here on U.S. soil. The goverment promotes false patriotism.

How needy is needy?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 20, 2018:

To each his own. I'd be flattered if a man called me the day after a date to want lunch with me. Talking about a future together... at least he's being optimistic. Personally, I find nothing wrong with that if there's a mutual attraction. I don't know? Go with your instinct.

Would you date someone with herpes? Considering everything else about them was great...

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 20, 2018:

I would not. I am STD-free. I expect the man I fall in love with to be as well. I keep up with my annual health exams.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bothered to wake up today.

Sex before bed or sex before work?...hmmmm

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 18, 2018:

Before work. Morning sex is the best. Even sex in the middle of the day on an extended lunch break? At least a 20 - 30 min rendezvous and a quick 10 min shower? Mmm...

Met my ex’s girlfriend at a church event tonight.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 18, 2018:

It's not weird at all. I'm the same way with my ex-husband's girlfriend. I always try to be everyone's friend. She is a bit insecure about my relationship with my ex-husband. One day, I want to have a normal family lunch or dinner with everyone at the table during summer and events. She'll probably never accept my invitation. I promised my ex-husband I would never tell her why we really got a divorce.

Would like your opinion on this.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 18, 2018:

If you're not the charge nurse (or if he isn't) I would report it to her or him. Take a female witness with you from another dept or a friend who doesn't work there. I'm the type of person who doesn't mix business with pleasure. I don't give guys an opportunity to hit on me at work. My job is too important to compromise over one person.

Why do men like a southern accent?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 15, 2018:

I appreciate men with Southern accents. The sexiest accent is the North Carolina accent. Like the one from former senator John Edwards. Too bad he allowed an affair to ruin his political career. I really respected his views on most things. What an a××hole to f××k it all up... But yeah, his accent is mesmerising! https://youtu.be/MtbdO-vxWCg

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 15, 2018:

I'd be lying if I didn't feel some sort of insecurity when it comes to dating . But you know what, Ken? Before I ever feel like I'm going to be rejected, in my mind, I've already accepted just being friends so the rejection hurts less. I have sat across the table with dignitaries and regular folk like myself. I'm like a news reporter in search of her headline story. No matter how nerve-wrecking first encounters, enjoy the moment. People come, people go.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 14, 2018:

I usually tell them, "I am 100% certain you that I am right. You know why? Because you are still here and not with your god. What's keeping YOU from being with your god? Is it doubt or fear or both?"

I just gave up the love of my life for no real reason.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 14, 2018:

You did the right thing. If you're the problem due to your PTSD, it's best to remove yourself and get help rather than to continue hurting those you love and who love you. But, you need to communicate with them your intentions. They deserve the truth.

I do a lot of introverted things, and have a hard time making friends with new people.

DON'T let this experience stop you from trying again. We all deserve to be loved. You will find love again. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DEFEATED. She is just one person who wasn't meant for you.

So, I’m falling in love with someone.

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 12, 2018:

If I were him, I'd never put someone in this situation knowing well you're going to get hurt in the end. That's so selfish. You need to be the strong one and cease the relationship from going any further than just friendship. Why do this to yourself? Don't let your emotions take over your logical thinking.

So I have separate from my wife after being together for over twenty years.

I did not go to my high school prom, but I did go to the after-hours party that night.

What are some warning signs that a relationship is not going to work?

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 5, 2018:

1. I prefer not to date anyone who has preadolecent or teenage kids or who wants more kids. (I'm not ready to go through that again, anytime soon, or in the near future.) Grandchildren are the only exception, as long as they don't live with him. Personally, I'm going to wait until I've finished raising both of my sons before I start dating again. I'm in no hurry. 2. Possessiveness and excessive jealousy 3. Sexual incompatibility 4. Financial instability/ Being unemployed 5. Lack of hygiene

Forgiveness

SleeplessInTexas comments on Nov 5, 2018:

I forgive others by moving on. I don't look back at the same people twice. I don't allow the same person to hurt me twice.
