Sophie 2407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 05-09-07, 05:17 PM (EST) "Going to the Chapel" I know it's been forever and a day since I've been here, but I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I'm getting married! September 22nd...to a man that works for the same company as me and is the most romantic, hilarious, caring person I've ever met. He's absolutely my best friend. I also want to thank you all for listening to me in the past when my love life was very up and down. I am very lucky to have had such great friends. Since we're here anyway, any good marriage or wedding advice? XOXO hopelessly in love   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" *grins* What I meant was, we don't live together and I don't plan on changing that. We are both very devoted to being IN CONTROL. In fact, I attribute our relationship's longevity to the fact that we have separate domiciles. I could even see getting married, esp. as we get older and have health care decision issues, etc., but not actually giving up my own place. Or my cats, to which he is allergic.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-09-07, 06:19 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Going to the Chapel" Yep. Making sure the relationship can survive once you get past the "New person I like doinking" stage of the relationship is important. Once you are past the lust-rush is usually when you find out if you are really able to make it through the ups and downs that life will throw at you with this person. Much better to find out you can't get along when the lust fades before the wedding. I dunno how long you've been dating before the engagement, but you want to make sure there is enough time total to make sure the two of you as a couple are going to work for the long haul.

In addition, from now on, be an adult and honor your commitments because you sure let A LOT of people down on OT with your lack of follow through. I would hate to see the same happen to your FH.   Top

Did you expect everyone would not be bitter about it? You took something that was supposed to be shared by our entire online community and basically held it hostage, promised to send it back (more than once) and then disappeared with no word for months (again more than once). At this point, some people around here might even venture a guess that you left it behind in Florida with your previous "perfect man of your dreams" and weren't adult enough to fess up about it. ...and yes, I'm proud of myself too because in 99.9% of the issues around here, I keep my mouth shut... but in this case, I think it's totally unfair what you did to your online "friends".   Top

But you haven't done that, all you've done was pop in once every few months and say "I'm sending the banana to Nookie" and then poof, you're gone. I'm not sure if you realize just how many people got caught up in the chronicles of the bananas and how many people looked forward to being a part of it -- and the fact that so many people spent money on shipping the banana all over the country and signing it and arranging for peep meets just to have some fun with the banana. And someone spent money to ship the banana to you. So I'm sure you completely understand the frustrations of some people here in regards to the banana and I don't think you get to say what you said in response to T-Kit at all because you haven't returned the banana after several promises. Well, that was a classy way of bringing that up. I hope you're proud of yourself. I think T-Kit has nothing to be ashamed about and she said what many of us are thinking. A Tribe siggie "Tsk, tsk.

I'm sorry if you feel like people have come down on you unfairly, but from our perspective, you stole our banana. Maybe it is just a cheap inflatible banana to you, but to many of us, it was a symbol of the community, an actual thing that connected us, made the community real, and not just a cyber place. Made the people real, not just faceless words on the other side of a keyboard. People held it, and signed it, and posed it for pictures. It was a symbol of US. No one owned it, we all owned it. Nookie was selflessly it's caretaker, but it belonged to us all, in our hearts. I think maybe you didn't get that part, how special it is, how important a symbol of this community the bananas were. But then, you really never were interested in the community, only how you could reflect it's attention on yourself. And I am sorry if that sounds harsh to you, but if you look inside yourself, you'll know it's ture. And you are always welcome here, because that's how we are, that's how it is. But if you are going to steal from the community, you need to hear it, you need to take the lumps that come from that. I am glad for you that you are happy. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, I wish you the best. I won't be offering any advice, because frankly, I know you won't listen. And like I said, you will always have a place here, but you'll be greeted more warmly if you return what isn't yours. That isn't mean, that's truth.   Top

About marriage. Even though mine is not recognized by the state, something happened when we had the ceremony. It was a bond like no other that I've had. And it was wonderful. We had lived together for 15 years before getting married, and have been together 14 years since getting married. It keeps getting better. I LOVE being married. That bond is priceless. Advice? Adaptability (on both sides). It's worth it. I've had to shift a lot of me around, and so has he (I think he's done more shifting than I), and we're both better people because of it. Businesses cannot survive without adaptability, neither can good marriages. Don't be afraid of therapy when things get rough (or worse---->boring). I've been more than fortunate with Sagebrush Sweetie. It took a lot of looking for us to find each other. Had I stuck with the first few guys I fell for, my life would have been a living hell. So, if you're sure beyond all sureness that this is the guy, and you've considered all your other options, then go for it. Shucks ma'am, yer too late. I'm one of the Tribe Always do right.

EVERYONE is in the 'honeymoon' stage their first year or so of any relationship. It's how you still feel about each other after you've seen every wart in the other person that largely determines if it'd make for a good marriage or not. About a year or two is about right to determine that, at the very least. And you've got to basically see the person every day before you can make the determination -- being apart in separate cities for part of the relationship isn't going to do that for anyone. Finally, you've got to be able to envision yourselves a few years down the road together. Can you see yourself in five years with this person? Ten years? I didn't do that my first go-around and I got burned for it. Now? I'm older and I'm wiser, I now know better what to watch for in a relationship and for that reason I've got a better second marriage after seven years with Pene than I ever had at any point in my first go-around.   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" LAST EDITED ON 05-09-07 AT 07:50 PM (EST) A friend of mine once said, "it's not about finding someone with qualities you want. It's about finding someone with faults you can live with". Or at least someone you can TALK TO about those faults or problems. You gotta be able to fight and fight fair. That means working it out without resentment. "Never go to bed angry" is good advice and it sounds super-easy during this honeymoon phase of the relationship. But as time goes on, that can become a really really hard thing to do. Are you prepared for that? How are you going to handle those arguments about sex, money or children? Because those arguments ARE going to happen and without that good foundation in place, they can get damn ugly damn quick. ETA: And one more thing in this epic post that probably makes no sense... Just from me to you -- Being lonely sucks. But there is one thing that sucks even more -- being lonely when you are married. Feeling alone when you are sharing a home with someone else. So be SURE. If that takes an extra year of being engaged, then do it. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here and pee-pee all over your happy moment, I'm trying to help you out. Take the advice from your friends who have been there -- they speak from nothing else but experience and are trying to help you avoid that experience. Divorce is ugly, painful and expensive.   Top

But there is one thing that sucks even more -- being lonely when you are married. Well said, Catt. Sophie, listen to Catt. She has some wonderful advice on this whole subject I can say I've gone through that feeling and it was horrible. Luckily, we worked through it. But it took a lot of pain, time, effort and love to get through it. Go into marriage knowing that it will likely be filled with some pain and agony. Go through a mental list of everything that could put a strain on your marriage from finances to an affair. Think about how you'll handle those situations...and be honest with yourself. If you can say you'd work hard to fix things and he can say the same for 99% of those things and really try to honor that throughout, then I think you can feel pretty good. -An affair is one thing I'm not sure I could forgive. The anger, hurt and distrust would be sooooooo hard to get over. I'm not sure I'm a big enough person to get over something like that.   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" LAST EDITED ON 05-09-07 AT 08:01 PM (EST) Sometimes you have to take risks. DH and I were engaged end of March of '96, were married in September of '96. We had been dating for 2 years before this but lived in different cities. Many reasons why this could not have worked, but we are coming up to 11 years and I can honestly say I have married the perfect person for me. It hasn't always been easy, life has thrown us some curve balls, but I truly believe he is doing his best and has the best intentions for me/us/and the family and he feels the same way about me. Other advice - don't get caught up in the small stuff. Focus on all the good. eta -- I should also add that we spent 1 month in South America together where we knew very little Spanish so we basically had to rely on each other and be together 24/7 for 31 days. We had to deal with missed flights, cancelled hostel reservations, PMS (mine), altitude sickness and violent food poisoning. Hard to fake being nice when all that is going on. I hear that wallpapering together is another relationship test.   Top

Then you don't feel the pressure of doing it anyway, just because everything is already paid for and in place. Sad, but true.   Top

txmomma26 5825 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-09-07, 08:42 PM (EST) 85. "Alright." My thoughts from the been there, done that school. I was 18 when the ex and I met. We went to college, we split up. We got back together and did the long distance thing. I moved to be near him and we ended up pregnant and married within 6 months. I was barely 20. That lasted a couple of years and I had to get.out. He and I both changed a lot in those few years. Some of it was growing up, a lot of it was the responsibility of marraige and a child. A person changes so very much between 20-25 years of age. And even more when they marry. At that young of an age, you have to have your eyes wide open with no illusions of grandeur....you have to realize that in a few years, you two may be two totally different people who just don't get along. And, you may grow closer together. You just don't know. I'd say give it a year of togetherness and another 6 months of engagement/living together before you get married. It's a lot easier to split if there are no legal ties. And for goodness sake, one of you MUST find a new job. Living and working together do not make a happy home most of the time. Another beautiful Syren Would this be the wrong place to spout divorce statistics? What about agreeing with much that was said up thread about responsibility to others? How about the cost of marraige (not including the wedding)?   Top

And I want you to really listen to me, Sophie. I'm serious as a mother ####ing heartattack right now and that doesn't happen very often. I was married for 3 years. I asked my husband to leave. 3 days later, he came over to the house, got on his knees and BEGGED me to let him come home. I said "no". Now he's dead. Died alone in his apartment, by his own hand (albeit wrapped around a vodka bottle), 2 months after our divorce was final. As happy and content as I am now, don't think for one second that that image of him crying on his knees with his arms wrapped around my legs doesn't haunt me frequently -- and will haunt me for the rest of my life. His alcoholism was starting to present itself before we got married. Had I waited an extra few months, I would have seen it and known and been able to avoid all of that. So ask yourself -- is 12 extra months too much to sacrifice to save yourself that kind of pain? I'm not suggesting that your DF is a raving alcoholic (or possibly a lunatic), nor am I suggesting that you shouldn't be happy or excited. I'm just suggesting that there is nothing wrong with stepping back for a second and excercising a little patience, and seeing how the next few months play out. There may be things there that you didn't see before. And besides, if there's one thing you need A LOT of in marriage, it's patience...so it'll be a good excercise. And I could be wrong and if I am? I'll shout it to everyone who will listen. A year from now, when you are married and blissfully happy, you can call me up and tell me I'm an a$$hole and I'll happily agree with you. Nothing bad can come from waiting a little while longer. If it's meant to be, it will be. And if it isn't? Well then you just saved yourself a whole bungload of hurt and trouble. Win-win, baby. Damn...now I've gone and made myself sad. DBF better get home soon. Debbie Downer, indeed.   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" I only browsed the rest of this thread, but I read enough to agree with everybody who says that you should wait longer before getting married. And that is not a generic, all-purpose "you." That is a YOU, Sophie, should wait longer before getting married. Based on your prior experiences, I don't get the impession that you have know this guy long enough to know if you are "in love" with him or just "hopelessly in love" with the idea of being in love. I am not trying to be mean. I understand wanting to be half of a relationship and wanting to feel that connection --- but it is something that takes time and it is something that cannot be forced. I think you need to look at your past misadventures with relationships and ask what you can learn from them. You do not necessarily need to discuss them with us or with anybody else, but you do need to be honest with yourself and truly introspective. Until you can do that and you can say without a doubt that you are getting married for the right reasons, I suggest a loooooooong engagement.   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" While others have already said it better than I will, I also recommend waiting for a while before getting married. My parents divorced a few years ago after 36 years of marriage, and I watched how both of them handled the aftermath. Mother: Dated selectively, found someone she liked, and is now part of a long-term couple with no intention of marriage. Happy ending. Dad: Found out really quick that being single and alone sucked, so he cycled rapidly through a series of "Miss Right Now" women with assorted major issues before finding someone marginally tolerable and marrying her. They've been married for a few years now, he doesn't seem any happier, and everyone else in the family thinks he made a poor choice in marrying her. Unhappy ending. DW and I have been married for almost 11 years now and marriage is work, but it's worth it. The good times are fun and uplifting, but the bad times are what test your relationship. We've been through good and bad and are still happily together. Think about it for a while before getting married.   Top

"RE: Going to the Chapel" DW and I have been married 25 years next month, and dated for four years before that. As has been said NOTHING bad can come from waiting. "Hopelessly in love" is *NOT NOT NOT* a good state to be in when you're getting married. Take a while of being together to let the "hopelessly" part go away. Have a few fights and see how each of you handles that. Spend some time apart and see how each of you handles that. And spend long periods of time together to see how each of you handles that. AND spend some time where one or the other of you is sick, and see how each of you handles that. You're gonna squeeze the toothpaste wrong, and he's gonna leave the toilet seat up...or down and wet. He's gonna buy something that you think is silly and a waste of money. And vice versa. He's gonna want to go out with the guys, and you're gonna want to watch a chick flick at home cuddled on the couch. Somebody's gonna forget to pay a bill, and somebody's gonna answer the phone when the creditor calls. Once a month, every month, you're gonna get hormonal. And eventually, you might have pregnant and VERY hormonal. Do you want to keep working after you're married? How closely do you work together at your company? what happens when you have a fight? Do you want kids? Does he? How many? How soon? You gonna keep working after the kids come along? How does he feel about it? I could go on and on. Until you have a pretty good idea how you, and he, are gonna handle EVERY ONE of those situations, you don't need to get married.   Top

That's my feeling, too. *sigh* Since I was the one who suggested her name it would have been nice to meet her. *shrug* Life happens. I'd ditto the waiting on the marriage advice, too. But, like others I doubt it will do any good. I will say, just in case Sophie is still reading, that I do not ditto the peeps that are suggesting that being married & working together is necessarily a bad thing. It depends on what you do, what your respective work responsibilities are, and how well you work together as a team. DH & I will be celebrating 25 yrs. this year. We worked together in the same department when we married. Shortly after we married he became my boss. (No. We had no idea things would play out that way when we married.) For us it worked really well. We made a great team. Synergy, and all that. We miss those days. But, we may well be a rarity. It doesn't work well for many. Taking the time to find out before cementing the union is definitely the way to go. Yes. We went from dating to marriage in a matter of months. But, we'd known each other, worked together, and been friends for a few years before the dating stage even started. Frankly, over time? "Love" is overrated. "Hopelessly in love" is unsustainable and unrealistic. Truly being friends with each other is much more important. IMO. Tribe sent springtime flowers! blogging's scary   Top

A short message to Sophie: If I were you I probably couldn't help myself and would still be reading this thread. So here goes. At least pm Schnookie. Let her know something. Anything. We've all done dumb things before, and even if you can't make it right by sending Carmen back you can make it better by letting Nookie know something. Just my nickel's worth.   Top

StarryLuna 4771 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 05-10-07, 10:21 PM (EST) 166. "RE: Show me the nana!" I agree with Mystic on the whole working together thing. My DH and I dated for 8 years and lived together for 2 years before we were married. Most of that was just due to the fact that we were college students, and then just poor post-college students. Anyhoo, two days after we married, DH started working for the same school system I do. Now, we're not in the same building - he's in the central office and does tech support for all of our schools, but I do still see him at least 2 to 3 times a week at work. Having him around has actually made my job a little easier, as he understands better why I get stressed out and he's close by if there are ever any problems. But the fact that we work in separate buildings is probably better than being in the same school. However, our county employs several married couples, many of whom work in the same school. Some of the met while working at their various schools, so I know that marriage and working together CAN work, you just have to do your part to take care of it, like any marriage.

We're in Informtion Systems (computers), so it's not code. He was software (programming), I was hardware (equipment, security, connectivity, etc.) We had some instances where someone would try to play "mom vs. dad" carp, trying to play us against each other. Didn't work, because we didn't let it work. Our areas were our areas and we trusted each other to know what we each were doing. But, at the end of the day, we both knew what issues each of us had faced, and on a few occassions, when one of us had a political issue with the higher-ups the other could intervene (and political is both figurative & literal - we worked for the government - on, at that time, as members of different political parties), either by giving perspective, or by diffusing the situation. And, we always knew, without having to completely rehash the day, what the problems were and what the triumphs were. Nonetheless, the relationship didn't happen overnight, even if our marriage eventually did. Again, literally. Partly because of logistics, partly because of politics, we eloped and married in front of a Judge - interrupting a trial to do so. The biggest thing is... We had formed a sound foundation as friends, first. "True love" & hickeys are nice, but friendship keeps things together, And, part of friendship is honesty. With each other, and with yourself. You really want to marry this guy and have a nice life together? I congratulate you and wish you well. But, if you can't be honest about something as seemingly inconsequential, to you, as a blow-up banana with people you haven't met? IMO, you're not mature enough to understand what real marriage, friendship, and committment is comprised of. Good luck. I hope you prove me wrong.
