One love, true love. Is it for real?

Haha. The cheerful one.

Mind if I ask, how is yoru lady treating you?

Hope she is not reading all this, for your sake.

Honey, even your internet name shouts "loser".

It's definitely about liking and respecting yourself first.

well you agreed with me in regards to the roomie bang so I just assumed..

My lady is treating me perfectly. Actually, she probably is reading it...but that's ok.

hahaha! Exactly!

I gather you are English, what nationality is/was the wife out of interest?

I can understand how you feel; lets face it, your wife was soon down the road when things were not financially as they were.

However, I do get an inclination that perhaps you did not make (or at least were not seen in her eyes to have made) much of an effort to seek a job; perhaps anything.

I can also understand how your respect for women has gone for a while after your experience. Similarly there are some nice girls out there.

I don't understand what you find the problem is; you clearly state that you are sh!t in the sack, so probably sex as you have been having of late would suit your requirements anyway.

I also don't understand as per the Salsa Thread Spring Cleaning of the Heart

why you have this need to be with one person as a sole mate especially going by the number of split-ups/divorces on this forum.

At least you can look at the benefits of having nothing now; you are not going to be taken for a mug in your next relationship.

when you need her?

I think that one was a quicky. in and out. or a stormy, makes a buzz, well a fuss, a ... never mind, and then fizzles out.

dear me ... I'm so bad.

Well, she was not cheap eastern european, if that is what you are trying to get at.

She was also English, albeit, a very greedy and vindictive one as it turned out to be.

I had made all the effort I could. I did find this job in Switzerland now, didn't I. Bear in mind the higher you go the lesser opportunities or job vacancies are there, so it can take time before you find a suitable job. The other option would be take a severe pay cut and get whatever but then you are regressing in your career and also in your standard of living.

I was hopeful, I would have found the job eventually, it was just her attitude and how quickly she turned against me that hurt me, when I had dont nothing to trigger that apart from loosing my job, which was in no way in my control.

Oh no, not a mug at all, I am the rude ******* now!

yup. common story. it's amazing the number of divorces and split ups i've seen in the last couple of years due to the economic downturn. same story - husband loses job, wife gives it a couple of months to see if he gets back on his feet (all the while scouting for the next man) and then jumps ship.

to answer OP's question: no there isn't only one true love. there are many possibilities out there. also women are the last people to know what they want for themselves so you can safely ignore whatever they say in that regard

Oh God I go to a meeting and this thread has 6 pages!

it's been one of the best friday's for a while on EF. lot's of random threads

I realised, a bit too late, that you were taking all this in jest?

Whatever happened to quiet dignity and maintaining one's integrity regardless of what life throws at you?

Why should experiencing the normal ups and downs of life entitle one to be a ****?

Plenty of men have had unpleasant experiences with women. So it goes. There are selfish, lazy, greedy, egocentric people all over the world, of both sexes. So what? Does that mean that we have to change our behaviour to suit them?

Get over yourself, go for a walk, learn good manners and respect, and get out there into the world.

No woman is ever going to love a self-pitying whiner.

indeed...what is worrying is the common theme... ...hurting men and pooping prostitutes

DB...there you are starting with the walking again

great advice though!!

its all very Big-Brotherish, isn't it?

maybe we need a combined thread about prostitutes pooping on hurting men?

It's like some hideous ******* child of Big Brother and Oprah Winfrey.

Goodness me! A preacher usually comes towards the end.

Next you will say is if you are physically injured, just stay at home and bear with it. Dont ask for medical help.

Sometimes one needs to talk, to lighten their load. Somethings are not so easy to say nor easy to keep inside. Talking to other people often helps. Its not easy to find people to talk to when you are in a new country and recovering from a past mishap.

Preachings are easy, pretentions are even easier but kills one soul from inside.

Good manners and respect? Wherever that came from.

I repeat; I am NOT looking for love, pity or help. Just wanted to let out and hear from individuals with like experiences, if any.

Apparently its a fetish in Japan

Any thread about golden showers or peral necklace's? yuk
