OK how about this ponder. Should there be some break up protocol or rules? I mean there's other dating rules that are out there call 3 days after the first date, 3rd date rule, etc. Do we need some for break ups?

A friend of mine is going through a break up and both of them are just driving me nuts. They're emailing each other multiple times a day. She's going to his place tonight to "talk". This is the 3rd time they've broken up btw. They keep back sliding. Though the frequency of the break ups has picked up. There was like a month between the first and second but only a couple weeks before the third (they tried to claim they weren't back together in between those two).

I just think they need to learn to say stuff like "I care about you but we're not right together and we need to spend time apart right now". At least something along those lines.

I'm thinking maybe a rule like for 3 months after the break up you are only allowed to hang out with your ex in groups. No phone calls unless it's a short "hey I left my at your place can you bring it to ? thanks" variety. How about that?

FREELANCERTEX

Thursday, July 23, 2009 6:51 PM

I think there should definitely be some protocol rules for at least the younger dating population (i.e. voice only, no text breakup, no email breakup, no going through friends @_@) but in a situation like that, yeah, i think they need to spend some time apart apart.

are they happy when they're together? I mean, have their breakups been really ugly? whats the story with these two?

MSA

Thursday, July 23, 2009 7:07 PM

I think there should definitely be rules
1- do not put your friends, pets, kids, parents, etc in the middle of it by asking them to take sides, carry messages, etc
2-If you're going to break up...do it. don't drag it out over a long period of time. Cut off contact. If you want to be friends. Wait a month or so then try. if you fail at it once, stop trying
3-Do not trash your ex in public. Sure tell a few friends or someone you lean on, but don't go all facebook, myspace, ad on a blimp about it. That just makes you look like an ass
4-Do not reveal secrets, personal issues, or other private things you became aware of due to being in the couple. Have some class and don't just spew someones personal stuff everywhere because you're feeling hurt. In the long run it's just mean, hatful and says more about the kind of person you are than about them

These are the rules I would love to see enforced:)

It's like their relationship is bipolar. They say both. We're so happy. This relationship is so draining and makes me so unhappy. The break ups have been ridiculous. They act super crushed for a day or two and then boom back together and "going to really try to make it work this time". This break up has lasted since Saturday at least. That's a new record.

I think they're wrong for each other. I don't think you break up three times if you're right for each other. Every time it's been her breaking up with him. I think each time she freaks out and thinks "but it's like wasting a year of dating and what if I never find someone else!?". Then they get back together and she realizes he's not right for her and staying together is wasting the time she should be spending looking for mr. right. Which is exactly how this last one happened. They went to a wedding and she flat out told him during the ceremony she was thinking "I can't ever see myself marrying you". Ouch dude. Yet he still seems to want her back. He's convinced she's just scared and is lying to herself.

Ah .. ok well you get a medium sized carboard box. Into place a series of cards with social dilemas. Add fisher price people to act out dilemas and solutions and then add a few board games or other pen/paper games that require two players.
Level one kids work on acting out ( with teacher monitoring and assistance) solutions to the dilemas
Level 2 they practice these newly learned social skills ( taking turns, active listening, etc ) by engaging peers in games:)

So, I think bowling is the culprit. They have this game where they put up obstacles in the lane and you have to try to curve the ball around them. When I was playing that I was like "ow ow ow". So, I only played a couple of games of that. At least now I know what to avoid.

I was watching whatever morning show they have on NBC the other day and one of the hosts visited a butcher in NY. I laughed my ass of watching him try to cut flank steaks. I thought his wrist was going to snap like a twig.

So what are some of the things we don't normally do that make us regret it later?

Me: " we went to the doctor and he took some pictures inside my tummy so we could see it's a baby"
K " But what if the snake was hiding when you took the pictures"
Me " well that might be, but I'm pretty sure it's just a baby"

Well I'm not going to see it with a guy friend that's for sure.

Realistically I don't want a gf. Cause if I had one I'd want her to just fit around my schedule. Basically I'd only want her around like maybe 1/20th of the time. I'm far too selfish with my time to let someone else share much of it.

For instance a pet peeve of mine is people who want to do stuff without at least a couple days warning. Wanna go see a movie tonight? My answer is almost always going to be no. I've already thought out what I'm going to do with my time and I'm not likely to change it spur of the moment.

Well I had people over to play Wii this weekend and I must be adapting cause my arm is fine today. So, I guess that does make for a good Monday.

Though I'm sleepy because I woke up to a car alarm at like 2:30am that sounded really loud like it could be my car right in front of the building. I'm on the back of the building though. So, I would have had to put on something reasonable to walk outside and check my car and do I really want to confront a thief half asleep?

Then I realize the neighbors cat is in our house... and happily mingling with our dogs. The cat froze when it saw me and darted out, but I now wonder how often the dogs let the cat in..... ( they were raised with cats so as far as they know cats have the right to come inside and eat their food and such)

AAAAAAAAAW!!! that's adorable!! *even though she hates cats*

as for the pet ponder: i'd go for allergy meds, 'cause i love dogs (fortunately neither the significant other nor myself have allergies) or, as my neighbors had to do, a hypoallergenic dog. dunno if there are any other hypoallergenic pets out there, but that's what i got.

That works for a time but how long can that go on if the relationship gets serious? Eventually marriage will come up and marriage with two households seems a bit ridiculous.

NVG here:

In some cases a two household marriage is for the best. Think of how many folk would still be married if they just spent a little less time together.

Well hmmm are you trying to tell me something??...giggle

Mostly I think more marriages would last and be better if people spent plenty of time getting to know the person first and really talked out their view of how things should work.

awkward!

I'm really just curious if anyone would be willing to give their pets up for adoption for someone. I think that would be one tough decision.

LOL Zeek... I really sometimes wonder how outsiders respond to NV's and my byplay... like when he does this funny gruff voice and orders me to " make him a sandwich" if they think he's serious or something... giggle

Perish the thought... though there are those people who send their kids away 'cause new SO doesn't like them ( but obivously there is something morally defective and emotionally bankrupt with those people) Your pets are yours to care for and love you don't just give that away...

Yeah I'm just joking about the two house thing. I'm fairly certain that didn't have any implications there. Really I do think it would help some marriages though I don't know what that says about the marriages in the first place.

I totally agree about parents who send their kids away. I can't imagine what they are thinking. To me boarding school isn't one of those let your kids leave the nest type of things. They're still in nest mode. College is a different story. That's spread the wings time.

Definitely Zeek...

ok laughing now about a pelican story. These pelicans at the zoo stole some guys cell phone and were playing with it, floating it around in their pond and such and then, as it often does, the fun got out of hand and one of the birds swallowed it and the keepers had to get it to spit the phone out.

Austin browncoat First Sunday (actually on the 2nd Sunday for better attendance) which is also combined with a dual birthday party and a zombie or zombie hunter themed costume suggestion/gross zombie food potluck. I will not be dressing up but they said they'll have some stuff on hand for people who aren't into costuming.

I'm going to make green slime punch. If I can find stupid lemon lime jello...none at the grocery store yesterday. I'm going to check out super walmart and super target tomorrow.

Zeek... well if you want a nifty make up for zombies... just stop by local costume store, buy a small amount of liquid latex and then mix with coffee grounds and spread on your face and arms. It'll be this odd flesh gone green tone and it'll decay over the course of the evening making you more and more zombified and it shouldn't cost more than $3:)plys because it's decaying and all it's easy to painlessly remove

Sounds like you're set for a super fun weekend

If you count working on messed up computers fun, then, yes, I do have fun planned/scheduled.

I'm just hoping to get Serenity back in working condition ><;; other than that, not much planned, except maybe finding my campus (same school, transferred to a satellite campus) and scoping out textbooks. :)

For this I got up ... argh I hate Mondays

Went and saw GI Joe yesterday.. I like it. Definitely a typical Stephen Sommers though.

OK ponder If you were asked for opinion/advice and you weren't in a good frame of mind to give it, would you not give the advice?

Several women who've never been pregnant asked all about how great it is ( may I say never ask a woman who is 7 months pregnant if she'd recommend the experience...) I don't want to put them off because it's awesome in so many ways, but right now I just don't feel like being the pregnancy cheerleader

I would probably give them the advice in my current state of mind and then feel bad about it later. I doubt I'd be disciplined enough to stop myself.

I just hate when people ask you for advice on a topic when it's not one you're really pleased with...

so how was your weekend Zeek?
