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.
I'm not going to turn down love later in life. But it seems any mention of being unhappy at not having love in my life yet has always (not just here) been met with, "Well you might find the love of your life when you're ninety!" As if no one is ever allowed to be unhappy with the single life. Or that, if you're single and unhappy about it, you're not allowed to be choosy.
I'm sorry to be defensive about this, but I am.
I've had four LTRs already. Three ended miserably, one ended terribly. Not to mention several brief affairs. My track record of picking partners who are bad for me is stellar. I'm still open to possibilities, but I'm wary and doubtful.
Or that, if you're single and unhappy about it, you're not allowed to be choosy.
Now this, I don't think is the case at all!
I think that folks are just saying that the window closing might not be as near as you might fear. Not that it doesn't suck to be alone when you want to be in a loving relationship.
I'm sorry about how much this sucks, Sean. (and Zen)
The one and only LTR in my life can't really be counted as a full relationship since it very quickly turned into a caregiver/patient relationship. As much as I loved S, it's very hard to be resentful at her for stealing the best years of my life.
Not trying to tell you not to be unhappy, Sean, feel how you feel! But when you say the window is closed, well, no, it's not. That's all.
