Advice for the Lovelorn, Bored Friends and Annoyed Relatives

[soundofmusic]

This is a subject I think all of us can relate to: Have you recently left a long term relationship and trying to figure out the "new rules" of dating, picking up a man/woman.

Has your best friend suddenly come under the spell of "the most amazing..." The only thing you know, is that you haven't had a decent conversation since your friend has been dating this jerk.

Does your sister, brother, son or daughter, show up at family dinners with a loser who grabs you when the other isn't looking.
Does your brother come to your house with a model with a dress so short your husband and 5 year old son can't help but see Egypt?

Does your mother/dad have a lover that is your age and wants you to call them Mom/Dad.

Are the parents fighting at home and taking it out on you?

Let us know, ask us what to do...Do it anonymously "Ah, my friend"...I know I will...

P.S. This is also a good place for those anecdotes you've always wanted to tell!

Well, I was thinking you could always address your questions or anecdotes by saying, "I have this neighbor who ....

Hum, Hum...

I am familiar with a certain elderly woman, whom after a few years of widowhood found a beautiful, young adonis who amazingly seemed to flatter her and encourage her infatuation.
Now this Adonis did have some minor flaws; though, to the widow, these only made the fellow more irresistible.
The widows daughter, who by the way, was slightly older than her mothers lover; found the young mans odor objectionable: He smelled of liquor (the best liqours the widow could buy him), smoke and often had smelly, dirty socks.
If this was not bad enough, the fellow came to the house at all hours and in his inebriated state, often banged on the daughters window instead of the mothers. The floor had thick spills of liquor, the couch had cigarette burns and there were the most ghastly sounds coming from the widows room....

It was really too much! The daughter tried to be tolerant; but truly, a 55 year old woman and a 30 year old man...it was disgusting!

Thoughts anyone?

[Haunted]

Sounds familiar. When my neighbor married a young fellow, she was in her mid 50's, he in his late 20's. I wondered what happens when he reaches his 30s — his prime, she would then be in her 60s... The good thing is, he looks like he's in his 40s, so at least it doesn't appear like mother and son when they stand next to each other. I think she couldn't resist his physique and and the prospect of having a live-in handyman in her house. He was a migrant worker and he fitted her scheme. They never went on a honeymoon or even a vacation in all of their 4 years together. Over the years he learned more English and watched enough English language movies to start snapping at her and became really abusive. He also started to hit on other women... Eventually they divorced.

I think the fellow sounds very disagreeable. However, if the the man is 30 and the daughter is slightly older- she needs to find her own place.

if she has the looks of the 55 year old Christie Brinkley or the allure of Demi Moore, it wouldn't bother me one bit. But this guy is cashing in and he's getting 2 for the price of one...that's a bit much.

It is an odd thing that those great physiques that we simply ignored in our 20's become suddenly irresistible near menopause. She seemed to have a good thing while it lasted: romance and free labor. Do you think he would have abused a woman his own age and still have a roving eye; or was it because she was now unattractive to him?

Do you think the daughter should get her own place because she is near the mans age? Don't you think the relationship between the mother and this man is fleeting and doomed?

Now that is exciting; do you think he is also spending time with the daughter...but the daughter seems to object so much to his very presence!

Do you think that is why he is "accidentally" banging on the girls window...

I have heard he occasionally is so stuphorous upon awakening, that he leaves his clothes on the widows bedroom floor and wanders about the house:skep:

She is very conscious of her looks, she wears full makeup even at home and she went for botox treatments. But she's always a bit of a nagger, and in personality she can be very irritating so that invites disrespect and abuse. Also in observation I don't think he was ever in love with her. I remember when they were dating — actually she was forcing the date — he wasn't calling her and to make him call her, she bought him a cellphone. Even then he still wasn't calling.... Being that it's a marriage of convenience he will keep looking, consciously or subconsciously, until he finds his special someone. It's just inevitable.

He might have craved her attention at one point and not getting it, he turned to annoying her. Question is, did he leave his clothes on the widows bedroom floor before he banged on the daughters window?....

I imagine she would have to keep makeup on all the time just to look like he does in the rough; can you imagine what that must be like when they make love? Do you think he manipulated her into buying the phone so that he could call other women? I have a young neighbor who constantly nags her immigrant husband; at first, he actually seemed to be a bit turned on by it...he would grab her out in the yard. It's strange, he seemed to get tired of it about the same time he learned English also.

Very insightful, Haunted. He may have not been as inebriated as he seemed. Of course, I have often heard that it is a popular fantasy to have both mother and daughter or two sisters.

Even on her hospital bed she's all made up. When she doesn't, she looks her age. As for the phone, I don't think he was sophisticated enough then to practice the art of manipulation. He was just not into her. After they got married, he did use her computer to IM his folks back home while she looked all pretty with her makeup on and no place to go.

Shall we open another chapter of lifes drama:

A friend with whom I work in the hospital, a woman of 34, has been visiting every doctor of our acquaintance for the past year. She has also developed a huge tolerance to Percocet. She has a husband at home with Schizophrenia; and all the fellows at work claim that they know exactly how to cure her illness!

Recently, out of ideas, the last doctor sent her to a psychiatrist. He suggested a friend of his; but she chose a more popular doctor who often consults with our patients. He is a massive figure, way over 6 foot, with white hair and a shiny bald spot, one blue eye and one with a full white cataract. He has huge hands and feet and his tight clothing suggests that he is "all man" despite his obvious age.

After 3 weeks of regular visits with this fellow; she seemed much better than any of us could have expected. She smiled all of the time, had a glow in her cheeks. She had been a little over weight and she began to bring salads to lunch. On the other hand, the psychiatrist spent less time on the floor; when he saw her in the hall, he ducked into a room.

Whenever this doctor shows on the floor now, she turns bright red, jumps in the locker room and is all tears. I used the staff restroom after her, the other day, and there was an open pregnancy test box in the trash....

I have no idea what to say to the girl; how to help her.....

It sounds like that huge psychiatrist you mentioned has just practiced some serious mal-practice.

[blazeofglory]

There are indeed some doctors who take advantage of the patient he is supposed to take care of. While nursing the patient he or she can gratify some of the fancies he otherwise cannot do. Such unprofessional conduct happens at times. I know a male doctor, a gynecologist who indulges in the female organ. He transgresses the boundary. While he is a playboy some women give in to, yet some were bold enough to object it. Life drama goes on like this until he got trapped for good

I can relate to that one, sort of. I was in a relationship for over two years, with some one who was incredably controlling and emotionaly abusive. We broke up last year but I still havent been able to get another relationship going, I don't even know what to do half the time and instead do nothing. Now I have the possibility of being with someone who I have tons of respect for and am very attracted too, but I still havent found all my confidence and don't have any idea anymore of what is too much and what is not enough.

A very wise opinion, Bien. I sometimes think that men may want to try a mother out to see what the wife will be like in 20 years; or get the daughter to insure inheritance...it's insane, whatever the reason.

Did he marry her for citizenship? Do guys take women on dates anymore; I hear alot more about "booty calls" and hanging out at the house.

:brow: :lol:


It sounds like that huge psychiatrist you mentioned has just practiced some serious mal-practice.

It seems a mixed opinion at the hospital. Technically, it is malpractice for a doctor or nurse to sleep with a patient; but since the two were acquainted and working associates, some say it was just an affair. I tend to think that if he gave her drugs which made her more susceptible to suggestion; it was malpractice. The fellows think she was just fishing for a way up the social ladder.

What finally happened to the gynecologist?


I may sound like a stick in the mud but while it's salacious I would hate to denigrate two professionals on just these observations.

No, Papayahed, you are a firm believer in the concept of innocence until proven guilty; and that is very noble. I tend to think the circumstantial case, though, is flawless; though I "only listen" to the gossip at work.

I comend your courage for getting out of the other relationship! It is very difficult to get your ego back after it has been torn to shreads in a long term relationship. I think it was a good idea to wait the 2 years to find yourself.

What is this new person like? Is she your age or a bit older?
Do you share interests?

So folks, how do you approach a person, nowadays, to ask for that first date?
What type of activities are good for first dates?

A 59 yo friend, the twice divorced father of 6 children is particularly proud of his son who finished law school last year. It was a surprise and disappointment to his mother when he failed the bar; but not dad, who believes one can buy his way into anything.
On Christmas day, the young man, who seems to constantly strike out with women (and has had a rather effeminent roomate for 10 years), showed up with a beautiful blonde wearing, what appeared to be, a long sequined shirt (that barely covered her wide hips) and transparent pantyhose...It was terribly distracting as we all sat down to dinner. No one moved to the buffet table; we just stared, women and men alike.
My friend was quicker on the draw than the others, he kept sending his son on errands and inching closer to the girlfriend until his legs were strattled around hers (his fiance was looking murderous). They began a conversation about Eastern religion and this blonde was brilliant...
While the girl sat, no one ate. Soon, though, the son looked annoyed and ignored; grabbed the girl and was gone...
It was really terribly awkward....

Do you think the guy sometimes has problems getting "the gun out of his holster"; those type are always all over the place.:skep:

WhenI was young, I used to date older guys; I soon found out that they thought I was a quick fix for premature ejaculation. If I had them around now; I would tell them to just break their dominant hand for a month....(did I say that):redface::smilielol5:

you didn't say that, LOL.

that's true, he could be trying to get me jealous... Does he really think I'll be thrilled to be in a party of 4?

I could have used some sarcasm but I just told him nicely I'm not in the relationship mode. He bought me stuff and one day when I was dying of starvation he saved my life with pastry he bakes. He's basically a good person, just desperate. He told me he can't wait to get married (why????). For every desperate man there is a more desperate woman. Let them find each other.

Shes almost exactly like me, only incredably attractive. Shes going on 19 so younger. We share interests in pretty much everything. I think that all is what makes it such a difficult and nerve wrecking event.

He probably thought that if he made you jealous, you'd discover "your true feelings about him".:idea: Yes, I am sure he has fantasized so much about you; that he believes that you are madly in love with him (particularly since you are kind enough to accept his gifts and eat his pastry:lol:)

Bien, you're a genius:hurray:
Are you sure you don't want the poker buddies to actually be lovers who secretly want to marry the two lady friends, so that they can still have "poker nights" together? They are doing all of this to have children; then they will divorce the women and get back together. :idea:
But, what they don't realize, is that the two women already know that they are gay; but are interested in their perfect cheek bones.... they are part of a black market baby ring:yikes:

Perhaps, you should just think about getting back in the dating world now. I'm sure she wouldn't mind having another friend. Ask her out for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Don't worry about the "next move" or "if a relationship will work out". Let the thing move on it's own momentum.

I don't have any good weird love stories unfortunately. The closest I get is asking a guy out for coffee to discover later that he was straight T_T. Or, that time a portly balding gentlemen at a concert wouldn't stop asking me to dance, that was kind of flattering though.

A lesbian friend of mine dated a MtF (a biologically male, female transgender for those not familiar with the acronym) for like 5 months. Their sex life was less than normal, given that she was a lesbian and he refused to use his penis because of gender issues. I don't know how they even lasted 5 months.

What do you mean man, this is A+ stuff:drool5:
I'll bet the straight guy was giving you signals and lost his nerve at the last minute:idea:
You always know how hot you are when the losers keep following you...I've figured this out because when I was hot, all I got were losers. Now that I am a bit portly and aged myself; the hot ones ask me for "a dance"

We must hear more about this lesbian friend also. Was the MtF willing to use harnessed energy?:driving:

My brother is finding life with his wife of 23 years frustrating. They began their life together when he was 23, he had a new truck (which he loved), a number of toys that only men can appreciate, a new job that he jumped right into after trade school and a decent down payment for a house. He married a woman who had a partial share in a duplex and a two month fetus in her belly.
The first several years of their marriage went quite nicely. He continued to move up in his company until he had a company supplied truck, plus his personal truck. They bought a larger home to accommodate their 3 sons, they were able to take several vacations a year.
As the eldest child began to think of college, his wife began to feel unhappy. She began to look for ways to "make life more romantic" and suggested he come home in the middle of the day for lunch. She began to complain to his sister that "he wasn't as fit as he once was in the bedroom". He told her perhaps she should get a part-time job or a hobby.
After a few years of these romantic lunches, they had 5 children, all boys, the youngest is 2. My brother has had to replace his "power truck" for a van which can accommodate all the children. The once large house is now spilling over with baby beds and toys. They cannot find a baby sitter even if they could afford a vacation. His company is down-sizing and he has taken a pay cut and a demotion. His wife tried to work part-time as a teachers assistant; but quit when the children began to get into mischief and the house became a wreck.
I think their marriage is headed for disaster; but will stay together because they can't afford to be separate.
What do you think?

Those "gifts" are nothing things. Kiddy erasers, notepads, etc etc. Things you won't say no to. It's not like he's giving me a Mercedes (which I would keep also).

It's not that bad down there really, sure there is the rat thing, but I quite like rats and besides, they keep me company. Now it's when people forget to fix the drain that things get a bit, too much to take, so every now and then we poke our heads our for a bit and travel the real world searching for cheap tools to fix the drain ourselves. That's really the only reason we leave our damp little cavern, truth is if it wasn't for a leaking drain -like chinese water torture, oh the horror- we would never leave.

My brother is finding life with his wife of 23 years frustrating. They began their life together when he was 23, he had a new truck (which he loved), a number of toys that only men can appreciate, a new job that he jumped right into after trade school and a decent down payment for a house. He married a woman who had a partial share in a duplex and a two month fetus in her belly.
The first several years of their marriage went quite nicely. He continued to move up in his company until he had a company supplied truck, plus his personal truck. They bought a larger home to accommodate their 3 sons, they were able to take several vacations a year.
As the eldest child began to think of college, his wife began to feel unhappy. She began to look for ways to "make life more romantic" and suggested he come home in the middle of the day for lunch. She began to complain to his sister that "he wasn't as fit as he once was in the bedroom". He told her perhaps she should get a part-time job or a hobby.
After a few years of these romantic lunches, they had 5 children, all boys, the youngest is 2. My brother has had to replace his "power truck" for a van which can accommodate all the children. The once large house is now spilling over with baby beds and toys. They cannot find a baby sitter even if they could afford a vacation. His company is down-sizing and he has taken a pay cut and a demotion. His wife tried to work part-time as a teachers assistant; but quit when the children began to get into mischief and the house became a wreck.
I think their marriage is headed for disaster; but will stay together because they can't afford to be separate.
What do you think?

She gets extra points for sticking with a not-so-fit husband. Some women would have gone outside their marriage to get a better fit.

The way I see it, he (not his wife) can't afford to split after a pay cut and a demotion. A divorce, if he's heading in that direction, is too costly. Imagine paying child support for 5 kids!!! Alimony too? Wife and kids probably continue to live in the big house, but him, he might be sleeping in his van. It's best in his interest to stick together. But I hope things aren't as bad as you think though.

It's a funny thing, it seemed that when the marriage began to have problems was when they discovered (at that time, they had 4 children), that 2 of the boys had learning disabilities. My brother has dyslexia; but managed to still get ahead in the job world. He became very hard on the boys, insisting that they just weren't making an effort. The school suggested that the boys go to a special ed school; but it was expensive and my brother didn't want people to think his children were disabled.
It seemed like suddenly, his wife and he were hinting that they may be trying "for a girl". The youngest child had seemed quite bright; but began to have some behavioral problems as he got past 4. The baby seems rather slow. I believe, that my brother blames his wife for the childrens disabilities; there are learning disabilities on both sides. They are also very religious and tend not to want to try medications and new approaches to these things.

Loss of a child or medical conditions sure puts strain on some marriages. But not my uncle's. The first child of my uncle and aunt hasn't spoken a word since she was born. Eventually they found out that she's deaf. They wanted a boy anyway, so they had a second child. Problem is, the second child is also a girl, and she was just as quiet.... Convinced that they're due for a bright little boy, they tried again and this time, they didn't get a girl, they got two twin girls! After that they learned their lesson and stopped reproducing.

That's amazing, I've never heard of having two deaf children. Are the twins able to hear?
I think, sometimes, when a child is born with a medical condition, it changes the focus from the couple to the condition itself, not even the child really. They begin learning of new treatments, visiting clinics, their social world widens and that is what saves the marriage momentarily.

The twins hear fine, but I think they made a big gamble.

I guess alot of us don't realize what's in our background until after we have children; if I had known how many crazies I had in my family and husbands, I would have been scared to death to procreate:cold:

I had a crazy situation this week, my absconder lover called from jail, "a mistake" and no one had a landlline except me. He wanted me to call his girlfriend to find out why he was in jail and to tell her he loved her. It was an odd thing; it seemed strangely natural. I called the first night, she's crying and promising that she'll do anything. I looked up her facebook page and she had put a message on her wall that "When someone does something wrong to her, they have to pay the piper". The second night he wanted to know what she had found out, I called and his best friend, her old boyfriend was there. The third night I called, she was wasted. I told him I don't think night is her best time, is she always like that; he said "most of the time".
So now he went to court and all is well, he has called once...No thank you...Just to let me know he's okay:prrr::incazzato::dupe::dupe:

Well, I can't say I'm like Liz Taylor or anything; the fellow I was crazy about since I was 14 broke up with me, so, on the rebound, I married a doofy guy I worked with. I married him when I was 18 and stayed married until I was 26; the only good thing about that marriage was my daughter.

Several months later, still 26, I married my high school sweet heart, freshly divorced from his 2nd wife, he was 28. We were married 24 years... it was a wild ride full of lots of fighting and illness...he passed 5 years ago...

I'll bet the straight guy was giving you signals and lost his nerve at the last minute:idea:

Haha, well I've never known him to date a girl, but he does follow them around like puppy dogs occasionally. We became pretty decent friends later in college. He still has an oddly effeminate taste in music and fashion.



You always know how hot you are when the losers keep following you...I've figured this out because when I was hot, all I got were losers. Now that I am a bit portly and aged myself; the hot ones ask me for "a dance"

Haha, pretty soon we'll all be the portly aged ones. Then I'll remember how cruel I was for not giving the portly gentleman a chance.

I think your friend was gay; but had mom issues. I think that alot of times we get confused about what we really want when we are young because of poor parenting; until I was in my mid-thirties, I had a thing for older men even though I was married to people my age. It took me that long to get over the need to have a father figure in my life...

Yes, that's how it works, we take our flirtations with the portly gentlemen very lightly when we are young; and when we are old, karma turns us into the portly gentleman who gets his heart broken by a young adonis

Your friends situation is really sad; if they stayed together 4 months, there must have been something there besides sex...do you think?

There's this guy who has a financee in NY but is planning a trip down to Texas for a weekend to meet with another girl for a "test drive." I just got a call from him. He asked me out to dinner. You could have knocked me over with a feather.


He probably thought that if he made you jealous, you'd discover "your true feelings about him".:idea: Yes, I am sure he has fantasized so much about you; that he believes that you are madly in love with him (particularly since you are kind enough to accept his gifts and eat his pastry:lol:)


There's been new developments!

During his last week at the job he asked everyone for their addresses to send an invite, he's getting married to his financee! This announcement came two days after he gave me a heart shaped necklace thingy from the 99¢ store. At the same time someone observed a piece of paper sticking out of his pants pocket. It's a Internet dating website.

A week ago I got his wedding invite. It's a lovely homemade card printed on a printer that's running out of color ink. On one side is a cartoon dog, the other side a clipart of a hot chick sitting on a hot rod. This is what he wrote:

"Hello, How RU? I would love 4 you to come to this because I need to talk to you. What I have to say can not be said over the phone it can only be said face to face. Also there was 1 thing I wanted to do but didn't get the chance to do on the last day we worked together and I need to do it to see if I am making the right choice & to know 4 sure if this Lady is the right one 4 me.

[QUOTE=soundofmusic;926582]You know, Brian, the last time I saw pictures of you; you were as handsome as Bien, Comedian and Pip...I can't believe that you are so non-photogenic that you were just too ugly to look at:confused: Did you grow snakes on your head or get a few gods angry:shocked: QUOTE]



I got a few Gods angry and I'm expecting the snakes any day now.

Sound is clearly mistaken. No one could possibly be as handsome as I am.

A perennial youthful misconception.

Oh God, what did you do...I think he wants that one kiss...I think the other woman may be one of those plastic dolls:troll:

I'm sure he'll insist that he got the plastic dolls just to get on the HOV lane.... He did show me a photo of his bride-to-be, looks life-like. Get this, he's going to find out who's the right one at his wedding reception? That's high drama.

er...whichever is cheaper for this guy :auto:

Well, I always like to feel in control; so I like manual...but, then, I miss using both hands:ihih:

Yeah, they're about to get angry at me too; but, you know how it is, this British heritage just makes us too fond of freedom of speech and the right to bare our arms...and anything else that might need a tan.

Or as humble...

A perennial youthful misconception.

I can't figure out, with Pip, whether I am more tittilated by his appearance or his brains..

Yes, he really needs the full service model to fool the cops...or to distract them.

Now that's a plan. Perhaps we can take mr. rich with us too, we need spending money and the Euros are high.... :coolgleamA:

Okay, you want to chloroform him the night before his wedding, tie him up, and lock him in one of the cabins? I was just thinking of rolling him and cleaning out his bank accounts; but if you want to take him....
Does he require much care?

When you said Mr. Riches I thought you were talking about the one with the beach house and boat. No no, not the groom. His bank account probably just consists of a few green backs in a tobacco can. That's hardly enough to pay for our margaritas.

I still haven't answered his wedding invite. I don't feel like eating hotdogs....

Oh, no, that's a blow to my plans. So who are we taking to fund this big party the 4 of us are having. ...

I guess I could take my former Mr. wonderful; he claims he is doing wonderul and is wearing 2 gold chains. He came over on Monday night, all purple eyed and drunk and I sent him home. His mom later told me he had his sister call his girlfriend to tell her he'd be out al night...woo...hoo...:Yawn:

Wearing 2 gold chains? Has he taken up rapping? Or maybe he's pursuing a new career as a pimp :troll:
Sounds like he needs a babysitter.
