Yeah GD, PLEASE! We were chatting on Yahoo last night and he said something AGAIN about his ex wife. I told him I was so sick and tired of always being compared to (and it seems like not measuring up to) his exwife. It's always "My ex-wife would have" or "my exwife would have worn..." and blah blah blah. Or the "When I was married I/we....." I told him to get over it! Its been three years since they were divorced and she was already sleeping around on him three years before the divorce. I know that hurt but it is what he told me. I reminded him that she had no problem getting over him as she got married almost immediately after the ink dried on their divorce. He then goes into a tirade about what would I know? I have never been married! WHAT? I have never been hurt or screwed over? YES, I have! We talked about some things very few people know about me. It was hard but necessary. I feel like he is worth working with so I shared. I told him it was her memory or me. I was not going to spend all my time with him reminiscing about his marriage that didn't work. I don't want to always be compared to her and not meet those standards. I really blew up and tore into him. I know he was hurt, I know she took him financially, but that is OVER. If he wants someone in his life, he has to move on. Build new memories, traditions and expectations. I think after chatting for 8.5 hours he got it. He just called and you would swear we never had that conversation last night. He was all happy go lucky and telling me about his yearly fire department exam and that on the way home his engine blew in his truck (he ended up buying a new one then!). Oh, I just don't understand men and their motives. Or why they get hung up on some women.....

Women may be from Venus but I SWEAR men are from that planet that begins with U not Mars!

Afternoon/morning all. It's an overcast day with rain forecast this afternoon. I've been in the garden planting zucchini and weeding ready for more summer fruiting plants to go in when I buy them. Shadz stayed out all night and came in at 6am and went straight to bed on Airy's bed. It's so cute, she loves having Airy home.
Mmmmmmm rum, just a wee splash this way please, I have the coke ready and waiting.
MC, it's like picking at a scab, you know you shouldn't and that it will hurt but you still pick at it. Men can't resist scabs.Posted 1 month ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

Yes they sure keep wallowing in it even when they have something good (me!) right in front of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even the good guys are rubbish sometimes...but if it's worth working for, and from what I've read of FF I'd agree with you it is, then I'm glad you seem to have got the message through. But no wonder you need a drink!!!
Over on this side of the pond, my own "great 90% of the time" male specimen is helping Button find all her lost ping pong balls...and it's gone 11pm...!

MCW! You are highly regarded by my British work colleague! I shared the Cadbury chocolate that you sent with Airy with her. Actually I got a NZ Cadbury fruit and nut bar and we did a blind taste comparison. She got the British one straight away - she had been craving for some British Cadburys!

LOL at KK! So that's another TDKer to add to my emergency chocolate shipping list!!!

Ping pong balls have a knack for disappearing into a black hole for ages and then returning months later at twice the number that were first lost. at least that how it seems to work in our house.

Yes Dee that is true. GD was inquiring about what happened last night with me and FF. But I still think men are bigger whiners! LOL

I agree with Dee.... women do it too. Perhaps we are a bit better at doing it subversively LOL It's hard to not compare - especially if the marriage was a long one. Hopefully, the new would compare more favoarably than the ex. He/she is, afterall, the ex for a reason!

One ping pong ball located, the rest will have to remian missing in action til the morning (I suspect they are behind the sofa, they usually are, but we are NOT undertaking furniture removal at this time of night!). 'Tis bedtime here in the UK, good night one and all, see you tomorrow (day off, and already FULL of odd jobs, errands and another dreaded acupuncture appointment!)

LOL @ MC - yes I agree, men are definitely bigger whiners ! Especially when they're sick !
Excellent conversation MC. Manfriend and I don't seem to be able to hold a conversation for more than 15 minutes !
I have spoken up about a particular phrase the Manfriend uses for the 3rd or 4th time now... and he never remembers the prior conversations. Frustrating
-
I have made mention of it before but last night for some reason it really got under my skin. I brought it up and he changed the subject so I brought it up again and he tried (unsuccessfully) to change it a THIRD time. Yes, I do hope he got the idea loud and clear. Hopefully we will go forward from here. I don't think he realizes how hurtful that is to me. I never compare him to any ex's I have. He was married ten years. Goodnight MCW

Sweet dreams, MCW! Glad you found at least one ping pong ball. MC, good to clear the air with FF and tell him how it all makes you feel being compared. How long has he been divorced now? I was once told that it takes half the amount of the marriage to heal/grieve. I was married three years so that means it will take me 1 1/2 years. I will be at the one year come next February.
Work was very busy and I am happy to see that I have only 25 minutes till I get to leave w**k and go out into a mess of a commute as it is still pouring rain out.

They have been divorced three years now. She was married within a month and a half of the divorce.

(((MC))) I thought it sounded like he was bringing her up a lot, even before what you told us today. I'm surprised to hear it's been three years since he was divorced - it sounded like maybe it wasn't that long ago. I know when I started dating after breaking up with the live-in boyfriend I was supposed to marry, it took a long time to get over it and I know I was guilty of bringing him up a lot on dates. I went out with one guy who was recently divorced and all we did was compare exes. He was very nice and all, but neither one of us were ready to date yet.
I'm glad FF is back talking with you today - that's a good sign. I do think he's worth working with as well, so hang in there. -
.... *skids* in the Cafe, after a LONG, tiring day!.... Hi guys!... yikes!... "bean soup"..... looks around for a LARGE bottle of "beano".....LOL...
... Daughter is arriving in tonight from UCF to do laundry and sleep.... Cuddles is "dancing with joy"...
... I know you guys like your Cadbury chocolates, but I swear I am sending some "boiled peanuts" down under soon for comparison!... LOL
MC, ... hang in there with FF.... some times it takes work, but if they're worth it, it will pay off.... you my friend, are definitely a fine person, to be loved and savored... I only hope FF can live up to the expectations of being worthy of your company!... Hugs

Trufflesmom, what a marvelous program. I remembered seeing something on it last memorial day. I know my dad would have wanted to go and we would have tried our hardest to see that he did.
Due to lack of experience in the manfriend department, I don't feel adequate to discuss the other topic! Hang in there ladies!Posted 1 month ago by paulajeanne #

It's 10.00 pm here in NZ, ... cool to nice in USA and the night is cool in NZ ..... it's be time to close Night Shift and snuggle under the comforters, so here goes...good job everyone & bless you...
check - turns fountains off
check - sweep the floor (never know who has been tossing stuff around)
check - lights off and turns out neon "TDK Night-Shift" and "Poetry Jam" sign in window
check - night lights glowing gently, puts on cool jazz radio for ambiance and stragglers check - cat flaps swings creeeeeeeek (pulls out WD-40), check cat flaps again to ensure they swing quietly and effortlessly
check - doors closed, left just ajar so fuzzbutts don't come to us with complaints
check - dry kibble out as a midnight snack (so hopefully no 5 am breakfast wake-up call) and freshens litter-box. Puts away assorted fuzzy, squeaky cat-toys into Toy-Boxcheck - windows slightly open for Northern TDKers' spring and closed for Southern TDKers' autumn.
Goodnight to all our imaginary friends in TDK land, Goodnight Airy and Jim-man. White light,healing energy and prayer for all those in need. Be careful out there! Bless all those whom have left before us, please watch over us >^..^<
