| Wife wrecks her Harley, breaks back. After 2 yrs of healing, she was on 12 different meds. I tried to stand by her side. But, it was no longer the woman I married. She became a Jykle and Hyde, mood changing every 5 minutes, lots of anger, craziness. I could not take it any longer. 24 yrs of marriage ended. But, I escaped with my own sanity, gave her everything but my bike, a 83 el camino, and my cloths. She gave me back one acre of land out of the 40 we owned. I'm free, she is still well medicated.

| Well....without getting too personal....things evolved into
just a friendship and with each of us having our own separate
bedrooms. We were together for 7 years and the last 3 were
spent as just friends/roommates. I decided it was time for a
major change, so I moved down to Venice, and everything changed
for the better.
Btw...my ex and I are still good friends. I feel for those whose
relationships ended badly, or with the other passing on. Situations
like those make it hard to recover and move on. Thanks to God, and
friends, I have been very fortunate.

| My last gal's Ex use to say she was the ICE QUEEN.
When I first met her, I could not imagine what he was talking about ; she was so sweet, so well mannered, so apparently giving.
Then I got to really know her. The real subtle stuff : the beast beneath the mask, the evil beneath the smiling face.
I learned she went to a "manners and charms" school as a teen and had learned how to master a "front." I began to see through this front into the selfish, greedy, penny-pinching, disaffected creature she really was. She had an answer for everything and that answer had nothing to do with you ; it was always about HER. She could go ice cold in a split second and leave you feeling like you did something terribly wrong, when in fact you did nothing ill whatsoever. She was only ever interested in GETTING WHAT SHE WANTED, no matter what that referred to, and she would try and get ME to get it for her, and if I failed, she would get it for herself, but she was NOT to be denied. She felt that she was ENTITLED to everything and that it should be handed to her on a silver platter. I found out, as time went on, that she hated her mother and that her mother never once told her that she loved her, her entire life. She, in turn, has never used the word LOVE when describing anything with men or relationships. Whenever I said "I love you" to her, there was only a half smile in return.
When I had had just about enoughof the ICE QUEEN, I left her to fend for herself. There is sometimes nothing so awful as not being loved or appreciated by someone you thought capable of it. The EX was right. He knew why he left her. His life was better afterwards. So is mine.

| Imagine someone using a vacuum to pull the life right out of you. He did, and I survived. Almost 3 years later, we're all extremely happy. He lives an hour away, and I have the babies, and he sees them when it's convenient. Therefore, he never has all of them at one time. (That's a good thing.)

| hotpurple I have seen people like that before. My son got mixed up with one like that too and it was NOT a fun thing to watch. It is a wonder that I have a tounge left in my head. I had to bite it so often. I am sure happy that he come to his senses and got out of that.

| I was married when I was eighteen, and too young. We divorced in '85, have 3 grown kids and 3 grandkids. I have been in relationships with men since my divorce, one was a long distance thing that didn't work, but lasted for quite a while. Another man smoked way too much pot, and drank to much Guiness Stout. The man I was seeing a year ago is a crossdresser,(total surprise for me) and and wanted to dress like a woman when we were alone. When I saw his silk panties in the wash, I was gone the next day! There is something about a man in a stuffed bra, and long brown wig, that doesn't do a thing for me!

| Smile I can relate. After 20 years I just seem to snap out of it. Woke up one morning looked in the miror and did not like the person I saw. But, as I pulled my head up and started liking who I was, he decided he better find another pature to play in.
I am not saying it was his fault in any way. I was the one who allowed it to happen. Now I am happy, like who I see and he is still the same person. I should have seen it while it was happening. But, do to the fact of the way I was raised I thought that was what I was supposed to do. I have loved and learned.

| First one, met his disco dancing queen, while I stayed home with the kids.
Second one met his drinking partner who also liked to swing.
Third met his co-worker, made more money than I, and was going through his change of life.
They all married their greener pastures, so far the first two found out the pastures were'nt so green!
Waiting to see when the third one finds that out too!!!!
Bye bye boys!!!!

| Which relationship? I guess I will go to the most recent, and the one, that I believe helped me much more then any of the others. I had reached a point in my life, where I was totally numb, and unfeeling, when it came to being close to a man. After living about eight years like this, and not being involved in any relationship with a man...and accepting the fact that I could never trust or love a man again. I met a person, who woke me up, and in time I grew to love him .... at first, I thought that was enough, I was just thrilled with loving someone ...but it wasn't...I wanted and needed much more He was not willing or capable of giving me the love I needed..and the love that I deserve. The relationship ended, I was not devastated, or bitter..I was thankful for knowing him, ...for the complete honesty found within the relationship...for the respect we both had for each other..for giving me half of the equation. Because of him, I have not allowed any man into my personal life, unless he was a man of honor, integrity and emotionaly stable. That is a pretty high order..and it took some time, but I have found all the same qualities in Ron ..and this time..the love is equal..it is shared..as is the determination to make this relationship work, against some very heavy odds.
