Misternatural 0 #51 March 24, 2006 This is an interesting discussion to say the least, nothing like airing out your personal life on the internet because ya just cant trust the locals with this stuff. Not to mention, you partisan nutty people make me smile. good advice, Gratzie! Human relationships can be tricky mind bending struggles mixed with sex and intrigue. I should clarify some things: We are 40 ish. (its a college reunion) and when you are at this stage in life being a couple is more about toughing it out against the odds, shaking your fist at the neighbors shouting "is that all you got?", thinking before you say something that will cost ya, and enjoying life when you have the chance. it's more practical and less about being crazy in love, as for sex... its good when you can get it. I don't recommend getting a masters at this point unless you've got a war chest of gold and lots of time, internships are a bitch....the other day I made a little joke about it & I got hit with a baking pan! I can't wait for her to get her degree so we can get back to "normal". In the meantime think I'll keep my skydiving helmet nearby, and my pants up when I'm on "Vacation". Besides,reunions are all about "Yeah I'm doin' better that you" anyway. "Pilot chute??! don't bother with that, its just for decoration."Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,452 #53 March 24, 2006 QuoteI don't recommend getting a masters at this point unless you've got a war chest of gold and lots of timeYeah, there's a reason why it's mostly young people who don't really need sleep who do that . Good luck -- sounds like you're taking the right path. I'll tell you from experience that the 25th college reunion is WAY more fun than any earlier one regardless. By then no one cares who's doing better than whom, and you can just relax and realize that the biggest asshole is now a nice guy (or not...), and that nearly everyone is pretty comfortable with who they are.

darnknit 0 #54 March 24, 2006 o.k. one option that has not been presented to you(even by women) is that she is expressing a need to feel important to you. if i were in your shoes i would do something special(a little hint, cleaning the cat box is worth more than jewelry in SOME situations).i would do whatever i could to help her realize how important she is to me before i go. sometimes a woman just wants to know that she is not replacable. there is nothing wrong with letting her know that. DISCLAIMER:this is just what works for me pulling is cool. keep it in the skin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeiber 0 #57 March 25, 2006 QuoteThat damned conscience of mine. An attorney with a conscience?! What's this world coming to? My initial comment was a joke... If this is 'the new politically correct bonfire', then yes, he should do exactly as you suggested. And no, he shouldn't cheat on her. Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Squeak 17 #58 March 25, 2006 You're asking for relationship advice on a skydiving forum, in BONFIRE, your relationship is OVER, for that fact alone. No wonder she's screwing around on youYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

ladyskydiver 0 #59 March 25, 2006 You've been given good advice from Lawrocket and others in this thread. I'm not in a master's program, but I'm going to school full-time and working part-time, doing homework, and trying to find quality time for sleep and my honey. It's a very stressful time as I am so exhausted by the end of the day (most of my days start at 8am and end between 12:30am and 1:00am) and trying to ensure that everything gets done and my honey knows how very important he is to me. Obviously, talk to your GF but it could very simply be that she is overwhelmed. From comments you've made, the reunion doesn't sound very important. Honestly...if you wanted to keep in contact with those you went to school with, you would already be in contact with them. So a suggestion would be to do something for her and spend quality time with her. The something for her could be having dinner ready for her so that when she takes a brain break, she doesn't look to see what's microwavable and will take less than 5 minutes total to make and eat or giving her a hug and telling her how important she is to you while letting her fall asleep in your arms without feeling guilty if she's "not in the mood". That is worth 1000% times more than it's weight in gold. Best of luck with this...but definitely talk to her.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misternatural 0 #60 March 27, 2006 Reunion update; Holy crowsfeet,it was tough to recognise some people, others look like they were in a time capsule. My crew partied for 26 hour straight, no sleep. I drove back in a slight hase (not drunk) but just very spent from laughing for hours on end till my eyes watered and beer sprayed out my nose. Only 2 (two) attractive single women there out 100 peeps,one of them was VERY sensuous but I watched her work the whole room in the same manner. Everything is cool on the home front, My GF made me a nice dinner and let me sleep the weekend off in peace, no questions. She is taking a huge exam this morning. Final thoughts: 20 + year reunions are MASSIVE FUN, nobody cares about your looks or money,as long as you chip in for all of the beer, food, and "shwag". Don't bring your S.O. they will not have as much fun and you can delve into the dirty but hilarious dark secrets that you forgot about(but will surely be reminded of) without getting in trouble. A picture of your kids and spouse or whatever will do. Watching your friends deal with room service for the whole crew after being stoned all night is priceless. Those of you that wrote that the issue was school stress and pre reunion uncertainty win a beer when I see ya. Thanks to all of you for playing! now back to the speakers corner for more chest beating.Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.
