i have a friend who is currently going through a VERY trying time with her H. i've known her for 15 years and when she started dating H a while back i saw some warning signs that he was a verbal abuser and extremely dependent on my friend.

did any of you go to counseling prior to getting married to get help with BM issues? the issues of how your SO deals with BM?

asked recently how myself and BF met? does anyone find that strange for an 8yo to ask? when i responded she said, "that's not what uncle **** said"...so she not only asked me, but also asked my brot

How long does it usually take for them to get it? Get the fact that they are divorced for a REASON!

Anyone have a joke for me today? I'm feeling soooooooooooooooooooo blue!!

Apples & Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
