I am back. My father passed away on Saturday (7th) unexpectedly. Spent the week taking care of arrangements and playing hostess to family and friends for the week. Had to come back home on Saturday feeling guilty for leaving my mother at the house alone. Trying to convince her to come stay with us (me, my brother and sister live an hour away in the same town) thru the holidays so we will see.I am surviving, just trying to come to the reality that I cant call my dad for advice like I used to. It will take time.

But other than that..I just read some horrible dating stories from you guys. I can top them I am sure. First relationship I had after marriage..dated him for a year...little did I know he got married about 5 months in...to someone eles. Total double life. And my last relationship...oh, he went back to his ex who treated him like crap...but she asked him if he would give her another chance and he said yes. To his credit he was honest with me and wanted some time to think about it. Told him if he needed to ask me for time then he can just go. 3 weeks later they broke up again. She didnt change. Throw in there random dates where guys were hoping I was some closeted bi-sexual porn star..and theres my dating history for the past 12 years.

So those dates make me hate dating. But still have not fully given up lol.

Dear [MENTION=45679]Diana1180[/MENTION] - my condolences to you and your loved ones on the passing of your father.

Yes, dating when single again can indeed be a challenge. One day, I might just write a book.

The story about the dude who got married 5 months into your relationship with him - wow. Was he always telling you that he was on a business trip to a certain city?

Thank you for the thoughts.

He lived an hour away as it was and told me he lived with his sister and her kids. (yes, i fell for it) so he always came my way and stayed at my house (weekends my daughter was with her father) I was leary when he never had me over but he explained it away as being busy, no privacy etc etc. He had me stop by his work etc so I let it go. One weekedn he said he was going to NY with friends for a bachelor party. He even stopped at my house on his way back north. Yep, found out that was actually the weekend he got married. He had kept in contact with me all weekend so I was none the wiser. 4 months later I get an IM from his wife so I called her and told her everything she wanted to know and apologized to her. Never spoke to him again. Oh..and I also later found out he slept with some of my friends who are swingers. He told them I was fine with it but just didnt want to know details. Bring on the STD blood work!!

My family STILL makes fun of me to this day for that one lol. I can laugh about it now...but was so pissed he made me the other woman.

Partly also my fault...just out of a divorce..I was naive.

I have the worst dating stories of all. Might be because I've been single longer.

I was dating a pilot. He had to take a 600 mile qualifying flight with another pilot. The other guy brought along his girlfriend. The girls sat in the back. We were going from Long Beach to Yuma, to Las Vegas. Spend the night and go back to Long Beach in the morning.

On the way to Yuma, those rascally boys thought it would be fun to get wasted on weed. Then they thought it would be fun to do some aerobatics in that Bonanza. I thought that plane was going to break apart. If those guys could not pull out of a dive fast enough, it was nothing but that empty desert floor.

Maybe it was the heat or the rapid changes in air pressure. The other girl's nose exploded. Blood was spraying everywhere. I took off my tshirt and held it to her nose. We made it to Yuma which is not a manned airstrip. It's just a landing strip with some hangars. A man was there working on his plane. I appealed to him for help. I was not about to get on that plane again. The two guys were going to argue but the man had a truly large sidearm. They left and I was out in the middle of nowhere with no way to get home. My rescuer said he would see what he could do and locked me in his hangar for the night. Do you know how cold the desert is at night? I was wearing shorts and a blood soaked tshirt. In the morning some random guy showed up at daybreak with coffee and donuts. He said "I'm here to take you home". And he did. The boyfriehd called to demand I come down to the airport and help clean the blood out of the plane. FU! Lick it up yourself.

I truly bless Arizona and their carry laws.

I have the worst dating story ever!

I was taken a qualifying flight with another pilot when we decided to smoke a joint and do a little aerial acrobatics for fun when one of the girls in the back started exploding with nose blood! My date even refused to help me wash it up! Some people are just rude!

Top right corner of the post in question, you'll see a "thumbs up/thumbs down" sign. Click on that. It's automatically set to give positive rep, you have to move the button to give negative rep.

Diana, sorry about your dad

Katz you always have the craziest stories you should write a book.

Has anyone here tried a long distance relationship? I can't imagine how that would work these days.

Everyone says that.

I have just led a very long life. It really doesn't seem that long in the great scheme of things but it has to be because I've outlived everyone else I knew. I've never lived any kind of normal life. This incident happened in maybe 1977 - 1978 I have a past to draw on.

 

[Diana1180]

I have before. It just takes honesty and communication. It can work if both parties want it to. Its tougher..but do-able. Plus depends on how far. That takes money.

Yeah I'm deciding against it, I have a girl I like in San Diego but thats so far and she gets hit on everyday, I can't put stock in a girl I can't even see, plus travel is not economically feasible for either of us at this point. I've known her for 7 years we met in the Military.

It has a better chance of working for couples that are devoted and committed. For building a relationship it doesn't work at all.

Yeah I already know, I'm not going to try it I'll just be setting myself up for failure.

I agree with you. Healthy relationships are hard enough without throwing in more obstacles like distance. I've tried long distant relationships before and they never worked out. I'm not saying long distant relationships are impossible, just very very difficult. Nothing is better for a relationship than close proximity and face to face conversation.

i don't know, absence makes the heart grow fonder is true for me. My girlfriend is my best and closest friend, but if she was in my face every single day, we'd probably kill each other. lol
