Thanks! Hi River and FallenAngelina, Thanks very much! I've learned something about navigating this forum! P.S. An astute observer will notice that my age has gone up since Tuesday. Wednesday was my birthday. 6 months since I saw Jacques...

In post #9, Karen (FallenAngelina) said: Your new love relationship confims that. You spell out exactly why in your other thread: Quote: Originally Posted by River View Post ....And that 25% desire is about 95% desire to share something WITH, rather than get something FROM -- also a new state...

So I visited Jacques in LA The perfectionist in me has taken forever to write this. I don’t think it’s “ready” but I should post it anyway. It’s been way too long since my visit to LA. MrFarFromRight - your reply came after I’d come back from LA. If I’d seen it earlier I might have done...

Hi Jane Q, Is it post #36 in The Notebook? (I can't figure out how to link to it either, but searched for "OKC" in that thread.) Great story! FAL -------------------------------- M - Me - Mandelbrot - female, 60 - _trying_ to figure out if I'm poly Clyde (previously B) - 58 - my husband...

Yeah, except I'm afraid that even bringing it up would blow everything out of the water, and she'd never let me see him again. I'm going to have to see how far gone he is. She said "he's not a blithering idiot," and seemed to think it would be OK to put him on a plane by himself to travel...

What's on the table? So, an interesting question - is anything beyond a hug and a peck on the cheek with Jacques off the table? I have no idea what it’ll actually be like to see him, whether there’ll be any chemistry there or not, but I’ve been contemplating the thought anyway. And it seems...

Headed west Hi MrFarFromRight, Nope, can’t say I’m a Cancer. I’m a Scorpio. So, Clyde isn’t feeling very comfortable about feeling responsible for Jaques’ well being if he should come to visit us. So what we’ve finally come up with is that I’m going to the West Coast by myself to visit...

A possible visit... Thanks Kevin, Gala Girl and MFFR for your kind words. MFFR, Artemis certainly knows at least _some_ about the nature of our communication. She knows Jacques sent me two Adele CDs. She knows I was his first girlfriend. She knows that things got to the point of my...

Background - Back in the fall of 2013, my high school boyfriend, Jacques, contacted me after having been out of touch for 38 years. We decided we both still/again cared about each other and had what I guess would be best described as an emotional affair, at least on his part. (My husband...

Definitely dementia So, I’ve been sending e-mails periodically. Chatty things about what’s going on with life. Occasional requests to please be able to come and visit. Silence. Well, I figured that Artemis had a lot on her plate, and if no one was telling me to actually _go away_, I was...

Actually, I think the threesome remark was made by the mutual friend through whom they met. I too was wondering _where_ they met. In terms of, on Seasiren's home turf? On his? On vacation somewhere else? But in any case, sounds like he said - this particular LDR isn't going to work for me...

Hi GG, Thanks for your condolences. My desired outcome is all those things. I'd like to stay in touch and hopefully even visit. I've been sending chatty e-mails about once a week. And gotten nothing back. (See my previous post - reply to Kevin.) I have no idea what a good frequency is...

Kevin, Thanks for your support. I went back and read your blog. I'd forgotten that LV passed away only last year. You said that Brother Husband and Snowbunny noticed changes in her as far back as 2004. So you were dealing with this for 9 years! I have a friend who is a family practice...

Maybe I'm missing something. I think she didn't hear from the _girlfriend_ for 2 weeks. Not the guy. So I wouldn't be judging him on _that_ account. I don't have much experience this arena, but the casual dating if he's up for it seems the way to go right now. and definitely getting tested...

Short version - My boyfriend from high school, Jacques, contacted me last fall, but we cut off contact to save his marriage. What I wanted was for Jacques’ wife Artemis to be OK with my being in touch with him, and maybe my being able to see him. To give him a real hug rather than a virtual...

What is a "successful one post LDR"? And what trip takes 2-4 hours and what trip takes 12 hours? Thanks, and good luck! It sounds like you all have your heads on straight and are thinking about each other. FAL -------------------------------- M - Me - female, 59 - _trying_ to figure out if...

My _impression_ is that court-ordered paying for a kid's college comes up when the parents are divorced, and there is child support involved. I don't think it comes up when the parents are together. Although I don't know how the intricacies of poly parents who have different spouses would work...

But we will always be friends and even lovers I really like this quote from November. ColorsWolf, is it yours? I've been wondering if I've been thinking about my old boyfriend Jacques too much. It's not clear that we'll ever be in _any_ kind of communication again, because his wife was so...

Hi Dannie, One caveat about the siggy line. As far as I can tell, if you use the siggy line feature that Kevin (kdt26417) explains, it always use what is _currently_ in your account. So if you change the siggy line today, it will be changed in all messages where you used the siggy line, even...

Hi Lady L, I'm missing something here. If you feel alone with these interests, why don't you make _friends_ who share these interests? Attend the events and strike up conversations with people. Then you won't be alone when you attend these events, etc., and maybe one of the friends will...
