I just saw this, among other things. Did you actually read what he says about codpendency? Interesting. Cool

I did, and while it makes a lot of sense, in general I found the way he promotes only doing things together totally suffocating.

Maybe interdependence would be a better word. if I'm in a relationship I do want to be able to rely on the partner or else why have one. Trust is key I think. Without it there is no hope.

I'm def no mother teresa lol.

well exactly... trust does not mean keeping tabs on your partner at all times. It means trusting that they're being honest with you about what they need, what they want, and what they're doing ... and even if you don't know what they're doing at a given moment, trusting that they're not breaking your established rules.

Totally agree, Meg - needing to be together at all times and needing to keep tabs on everything is just showing you have no trust in your partner, which is probably the most demoralizing thing in a relationship.

And how would we have proof she killed him in his sleep? We never know if folks just drop out or die or whatever ... maybe you could leave a letter with a good friend to notify us, or something?

PS - I really hate when people just disappear from my life.... seriously it causes me much grief. Sad

I am trying to remember the exact instance but can't, I recall her getting mad at me over a fictional character.

There is an 80 year old woman that works in my office, I once mentioned that she gave me diet coke or something and she was furious with me.

As far as this forum goes, I do this at work during down times. I have noticed that more women are using their faces as their avitar and I know for sure that this will get me killed. Shock

I was just accused of wanting to learn guitar so I can sing in pubs and be on the meat market and have all of the german men hitting on me. Every single last one of them. Laugh

Carnation, I read on another thread that you are an editor. What do you edit?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm an editor. I edit the bottom of the barrel junk that nobody else wants to do, usually company handbooks, rules and regs sort of thing. It's a real snorefest, but I need the side income. Nothing as glamorous as editing a newspaper.

Ha ha ha, you know I kinda want kill myself every couple of days. Particularly on deadline day (no pun intended) have you ever thought to yourself "It would really suck to die right now, but on the bright side no one can make me write if I'm dead" That is me every Tuesday morning.
