    Yes,good thing for you,bad for me,I feel like I just dropped 20 quid down the drain Soph,he is a type,I met some strange guys,they are around,collect a few women,good for their ego,they are getting on,mid-life crisis,start to panic wondering if they still look good to the opposite sex,you know the sort,as winter approaches a male flower tries to pollinate as many females as possible because he feels the pull of his own mortality,a last ditch effort



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Hi Jam, been reading your thread with interest, sorry to hear of your troubles.

    I'm guessing, that you haven't met yet in person?...What are his intentions? has he talked about coming to visit you?...Sorry, if I've got all this wrong?

    We live in a world of communication, where it's not hard to stay in contact, with someone if you really want to.

    Last summer, I had no internet connection for a month. My telephone line got struck by lightning, it literally blew the sockets out of the wall...There was an almighty bang! & the cat shot off my lap. ...Had to have the whole line replaced.

    The point I'm making is, I could still use a phone, could still text & could go to the library to use free internet there.

    Whether you stay with him or not, you deserve much better.

    I wish you well.

    Hi Jam,

    Just caught up on some posts.
    Glad to see your bf and you are back in touch.

    Now I don't know about every man, but when you read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" (referencing the experiences of many many relationship problems), men generally follow a pattern of "going into the cave" to reflect and sort out their predicaments.
    I know I do.
    Women generally like to talk all the time, men can shut off at times.

    Don't worry too much, perhaps he will keep in touch for a long time, but do be prepared for his occasional silences.

    Hiya Sophie,

    I could waffle on for many many minutes about this issue but I think if you read Gray's book, it will become clearer.

    Basically men go into the cave and women like to talk about problems.
    Trouble is that men tend to try to "fix" things when women just want to be "heard".
    The big problem is that men try to go into the cave but sometimes women cannot understand this as they want to keep on talking to solve the problem. He is trying to avert a potential crisis or really bad situation and words sometimes confuse a man further.
    It is so complicated at times, but men should just walk away when things get too strained, AND women should know when to stop hounding their man.
    After all, tomorrow is another day and we want to be together with our partner, not stuck in the doghouse or worse.

    When I was about 14 I told my mother (now sadly departed this world) that I didn't understand girls.
    She gave me a pearl of wisdom that I will never forget.......
    "I'll just give you one tip. Never try to understand a woman because they don't understand themselves".

    Now, I don't want to say that I never want to try to understand my wife, for example - because I always do, but there becomes a point where a man has to understand that we cannot always "fix" a woman's predicament, but we can certainly try to stand back, focus and then smile.
    If things get a little strained, I certainly see the benefit of not getting into the nitty gritty ad infinitum. Walk away, let things settle down and then instead of getting back into the minutiae when we meet again, go back and just hold her without going over everything again.
    The strongest man is the man who walks away and walks back quietly.

    Just my teapot philosophy, and I can say that the years have honed this down from the mad days of a young man's perspective.

    wow, very interesting, that sure made things clearer
    women ought to get gray's book so we understand men more,
    or better yet, consult with aposhark for free

    This one really made me laugh, i think because it definitely figures, lol
    I bet you took her word for it, coming from a woman herself....
    Anway, i'm sorry about your mother, but she sure was a very wise woman

    Everytime I read your words, I always thought of my lovey dovey, when I am annoyed, he did that, he walk away quietly/politely (that I feel guilty) and if he know that I am calm, he will just give a big hug and asking if I am alright or still grumpy, you really mature and sensible person, Rochelyn will be very proud of you
