Princess Bride?  I would never plunk down money to go watch that movie...instead I got the DVD...it was on sale alright and I was my little sisters hero when I came home with it.  And yeah, it was a pretty enjoyable movie.  At least we're together in the wuss club Jack.<BR>
<BR>
And yeah I've had dreams that seemed so real that even up today I'm still not sure if they really took place or not.  Or maybe this is a dream?  What if when I'm supposedly asleep I'm really awake?  Making my dreams reality and reality my dream...okay I'm getting a little weird now, I think I should sleep go to sleep now.<BR>
<BR>
Or do I mean wake up???<BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that Sweet-Dreams? stuff<BR>

Jon~After reading some of your poems I thought that perhaps you would like the song that I posted. I'd really like to know what you thought about it or if you've ever heard it. <BR>

Has anyone on the board the that song? <BR>

ok: *very* personal vent.  Imagine, if you will, falling madly in love with a man, talking every day, seeing each other almost as often.  Planning a lifetime together, introducing him to all your family and friends, sharing Xmas with his family, finding unprecedented levels of connection from emotional to creative to physical to moral. (can you feel the "big BUT" coming?)<BR>
<BR>
Then after four incredibly blissful months, you find out 1) the return of his ex-wife, whom he divorced over a year before, throws him for an emotional tailspin.  This level of impact confusing, until two weeks later, when you find out 2) she's actually his *wife*, because though he filed, they never finished the paperwork.  You are now an inadvertant adultress.  And finally, when you confront him about his emotional state, you find out 3) she left him two *months* before he met you, not the two *years* he said.<BR>
<BR>
Stunned disbelief (this is soap opera, right?), betrayal, deceit, anger, loss. . . he says he loves you, but even though all his friends and relatives hate his wife and love you, he needs to see pursue a relationship with her, because she "needs him", and "he likes that she has dinner waiting for him at home". And you, in a daze, agree to remain friends, because he wants to keep you in his life, because you have become so important to him, and a rare source of happiness and open communication.  <BR>
<BR>
Following a long hug and a kiss on the cheek, he walks you down the street with his arm around you.  He makes several comments about how sexy you look and how horny you make him.  Then he thanks you for being so understanding, apologizes (once again) for all the lies, and says he will show up to the opening weekend of the theatre piece you are in with flowers in hand.<BR>
<BR>
And the most insane thing is, there is this large part of you that still loves him, even though the whole situation is totally whacked.<BR>
<BR>
Now in this not-so-hypothetical situation: what would you do?

OK,...I admit it as well, the 'Princess Bride' is BRILLIANT!!... from the cliffs of insanity, the R.O.U.S.'s,..Andre the giant, in the fire cloak, screaming " I am the dwead Piwate Woberts!!"... no, its not a typo error.. LISTEN... thats how he says it!!.. and not forgetting the hauntingly beautiful theme by Mark Knopfler Of Dire Straits..sigh..I guess me, Jack and the rest of us are just a bunch of hopeless romantics!...which is why we're here in the first place!! <BR>

<BR>
Jon~ I liked “I woke up that way…”.   I hate waking up next to a guy with morning wood, and I get all excited and think its because of me, then he tells me, “no I just have to pee..”, I also like “pushed away”, it’s a feeling I know too well….<BR>

Wistful; This guy has some nerve, even if it made me crazy I think I would make it very hard for him to see me, almost impossible. Distance yourself so you can get your emotional feet back on the ground. Keep us posted Darlin, we're here for you..ha you can send him to us, we'll tell him off. The poem you wrote about heels was awesome by the way.<BR>
<BR>
You guys, I am way behind on reading and comments. I have been reading in bits and pieces and you all are wonderful as usual. We have a bit of progress with my Uncle and not much with my cousin. Both are on life support systems to live. Thank you for all your support and commets and I promise to get back and make some of my own soon.<BR>

Wistful ~ This sounds SERIOUS. I have pretty much been where you are. <BR>
<BR>
I dated Sean for about 8 months, and were engaged to be married. I had plans to move from Vernon, BC, Canada to Seattle, WA. I had given up my house, job, and belongings (border and INS issues) and it was two weeks till the wedding when the ex-girlfriend/live-in showed up in his life again (I think that she had been in contact with him for a while though). He e-mailed me the break-up note. YES! E-MAILED IT!! He told me that he had these 'feelings' he needed to figure out. "She told me that she was wrong for all she'd done and that she was sorry. I have to try again. She's never admitted fault or apologized. Never. I need to know if she's changed." <BR>
<BR>
I was devastated. I had never felt before the way I did about him, and I'm no sappy romantic. These feelings were strong in spite of myself. I wrote a very mature letter back, letting him go. I lost 10 pounds in a week. I couldn't sleep or eat. I was a mess. (I have been through A LOT of shit, including my first divorce (among other things too nasty to mention), and have NEVER been meesed up like this!) Because I was so ashamed, and couldn't bear to tell all the people who thought I was marrying my Prince Charming that he was a toad, the kids and I moved on our own to Vancouver, BC. No friends there, no family, no furniture, no job. <BR>
<BR>
It wasn't a week later that he was calling me again. Could we talk? Could we be friends? Telling me that he thought he might have made a mistake. She hadn't changed. His love for me was stronger. I was resistant to his advances. I was very wary of trusting him. But I LOVED him more than I have EVER loved anyone. EVER. So I said we could be friends. We talked. And talked. And talked. And eventually I started to trust him more. <BR>
<BR>
Eventually his charm and 'sincerity' won me over and we married. It was a beautiful relationship. For a year and a half. Then he found another girl who made him feel all funny and he had to explore THAT. I left for good. I will never be second place again. <BR>
<BR>
He was a decent enough man, but followed his 'heart' rather than his mind AND his heart. He regrets his actions to this day, kicks his ass and eats his heart every time he sees me or the kids. But it was a pattern he'd acted out in all of his relationships. Even the two before me. Never letting go before holding on to someone else. <BR>
<BR>
I'm not saying that you and this guy won't work out. But he's already lied to you a couple of times. He's also just proven that you're not 'first' in his life. You should pay attention to a persons actions, NOT his WORDS, when you want to know who and what they are. We tend to listen to what they TELL us because we don't want to look at the behavior that we KNOW is not what we want. I had lots of little warning flags flying everywhere with Sean. I loved him. I didn't want to see them. I wanted to believe in my fantasies about him. And I DID. To what end?<BR>
<BR>
Just don't fool yourself like I did, that's all. <BR>

Dear Wistful,<BR>
I agree with eveybody else. He's no good.<BR>
He's lied to you, and not just about little things, so you're never going to be able to fully trust him again. <BR>
And now it sounds like he wants to be able to have his cake and eat it.(i.e. to have both you and wifey)<BR>
I have a feeling that if you stayed together she would always be somewhere in the background.<BR>
Is it really him that you loved madly or what you thought he was before you discovered the lies. Dare I say that at 4 months you're still in the exciting honeymoon period of being in love so things havent really shaken down to full "relationship" love, when you know you can live with each others imperfections.<BR>
You've already got your doubts or you wouldnt be asking us. You know hes no good, so although it will hurt to break up with him, he will hurt you even more in the future, and it would be hard to continue a relationship when you're always wondering about him. <BR>
I think that maybe subconciously you've already made your mind up.<BR>
At the end of the day, go with your real gut instinct. Its usually right.<BR>
Good Luck, <BR>
Splatipus<BR>

he never had to lie, yes the truth might have kept you apart a little while longer but if he was the man for you he never had to lie, your whole relationship was based on his lies, now i can see if he was honest from the begining maybe you two could work things out but...he hasnt been.. so why do you think he ever will be.. when in fact he never needed to lie... yet has
