My brother joked that they're pretty much never going to believe any of us ever again.
Nah, just tell them the brutal truth. Then say "what? Would you rather I hide the truth and LIE to you for all this time? You didn't take that well with [brother]." either way, good luck to you and him! I wonder what your sister thinks?
And frankly, it's been very very difficult to not feel like my window of finding any kind of long term relationship has closed as well.
Sean, I feel like this sometimes as well. I hope we are both wrong.
P.-C., man. I wish good luck and strength and a hardy sense of humor to all your mother's children and all their present and future significant others. Mother of P.-C., for future reference, if you're not totally prepared to know what's in the closet, don't open the door!
Seriously, beth! Exactly!
I would Never say "there's a pot for every lid" because I think that's bullshit but, Sean, take it from me, you never know what's going to happen. I certainly felt the way you did overthe years and, then, suddenly, everything changed.
Eh, my grandmother got married in her 60s. And my MiL met the guy she's now living with when she was in her 60s. Neither Sean nor Zenkitty have expired in terms of LTR potential.
-t, that is what i was comming back to say . I've been to a number of weddings of people in thier 60s recently. and I know a number of people closer to my age ( 47) that have found people that love them partly because of their quirks. And I know of one childless couple that 'adopted' a whole family. I think there is a lot of room for life to surprise you in some unexpected ways , Sean and Zenkitty.
Man, does he need to drag you down with him? I mean I know you 2 are close, but it's not like it'll be easier on him if you're outed as a co-conspirator.
He has no intention of dragging me down with him. We agreed that I should be shocked—SHOCKED I TELL YOU—to find out that there is gambling going on in this establishment. But I've got his back.
OMG, you didn't tell us that your bother had a secret shedevil girlfriend!!!
Because I am the best brother ever!
He was LIVING with her and keeping her secret?!? That's crazy.
They're not officially living together, but she's basically there all the time. Thankfully, not when this happened.
huge helpings of nothing~ma Raq.
P-C, I totally thought that your mom was going to open the closet door and discover the girlfriend.
I don't want to wait until I'm in my 60s, thanks. I'm not pleased I've had to wait this long, and still pretty much nothing.
Is it worth the wait if the person suits you completely? Yeah in my ideal life I would not be getting married at age 42 but, dag, he was worth the wait.
