question to the girls
do you write crazy letters and emails to your bf / hubby at 3 in the morning when you miss them like crazy and can't sleep. And when PMS is hitting on you also?
Why are we doing that?

2. in that way you are lucky
I did last night. My bf just called me to tell me I have nothing to worry about whatsoever. But he was pleased that opened to him as I did in that email.

3. Not that lucky for me.
Besides, you will see him this weekend, right? Think of all naughty things that you plan on doing to him and you will be fine.

4. yes I will see him Friday
and believe me, it will get naughty .... :evilgrin:

but sometimes I could bite my ass to even write such emails. I know he loves me and I don't need to worry. I am just insecure once in a while because I never had such a man before in my life.

I hope you find a new man soon. And a very good one.

10. that happened to me
he showed up when I wasn't looking. In January/February I decided for myself I am happy right now being a single and just want to have my fun. What happens? In May he pops up, we meet and hit it off right away.

12. I'm just happy being a mom.
I want a relationship when I get lonely. Sometimes I wish I had one every time a friend has a new baby (it's hard not to want another baby, especially when you hold them and they smell so good). Then I just give up and figure that it won't happen and I need to make the best of my life w/o depending on a man to fulfill me.

8. PMS and relationships
I don't have a relationship and haven't since I left my marriage 9.5 years ago. It was the best decision I've ever made.

But, for some wierd reason, when I'm PMSing is when I miss a relationship (a good and decent one) the most. Who knows? :shrug:

9. aren't hormons a horrible things
last time I had PMS my bf couldn't come due to work even though we thought we could see each other (we have a weekend relationship at the moment). When he told me on the phone I started crying. He was pretty shocked and so was I. Never happened to me before.

15. Not anymore.
They weren't appreciated unless he was in the mood for them. I mean that in terms of more than one he in my not so wonderful experiences.

Until I'm convinced otherwise, my only use for men will be killing bugs high on the ceiling where I can't reach and for sex. Call me bitter. Call me realistic. :shrug:

17. fortunatly my bf appriciated what I wrote
it was more self critic about myself and how I hate that if effects him. He called me at lunch time telling me not to worry.

But it is a bitter feeling to write something from the heart and the other end is not appreciating it.

16. They become part of every thought.
Love makes us want to share everything with our beloved.

Some of the most telling emails I've ever written were between 3:33 and 4:44, in the still of the night while the world around me lay sleeping.

28. Good Morning ffm
When I was in-love with * D * I sent him long emails about everything. Now that I'm not involved with anyone, I still don't get anymore sleep because I find myself composing drafts in my semi-slumbering mind.

and on the brighter side of my life :hi: Today is sunny. The forecast is showing temperatures of 40 degrees for 4 of the next 7 days ... so I'm smiling !

The Harley V-Rod Lovin house-mate promises to finish the quill work on the Trike because it needs to be clear-coated this week.

I had troubles last night to fall asleep
I logged off from DU a bit before 1am. Wrote that email to my bf around 2.45am and finally went to sleep around 3.30am. Had to get up at 6.30am, so I had only 3 hours of sleep.

How did your doc's appt go?

33. I put the appointment off until this Thursday.
I'm concerned but not worried. I promise not to; run any marathons, shovel snow or rip anyone's arm off so I can beat them over the head with it ... until after a stress test says it's OK to return to my normal crazy ways.

Watch it ... on only 3 hours of sleep you could morph into someone like me.:scared:

if there were more people like me.

People do say smiles are contagious and love is the answer.

I believe a little bit of kindness can go a very long way.

50. Lessons in Living Life 101
should be taught in every school because sometimes it isn't at home.

Both of your sayings are good guidelines to live by.

The Golden Rule seems to have been forgotten by too many people.

20. Then my girlfriend must really love me, because
she shares every single thought with me, all the time. Nonstop.

The other day we were driving home from Topeka, and she asked "What do you want to listen to?"

I replied "It doesn't matter. I won't be able to hear it anyway."

:evilgrin:

We joke around a lot, and are usually pretty open.

And sharing everything that goes to her mind? - yes she really loves you

19. I used to write such things to Mrs. V., before I moved to the east coast
to be with her.

Of course, in those days, she arrived at work at 6:00 AM, so more often than not, if I couldn't sleep for missing her, I'd get to chat with her.

There's nostalgia, but I can't say I MISS those days. I'm much gladder to be with her. :loveya:

30. No.
Because most of the time, they half-ass read things and it doesn't really register anyway. I guess I'm cynical and have been hurt too many times. More than likely if you're telling a man (very often) how much you miss him, care about him, can't life without him, it only pushes him further away. :shrug: Maybe I've just been involved with the wrong men.

32. wow, from what you tell me
I really am lucky with my bf. It is not pushiung him away at all. He ain't writing stuff like I do but he certainly reads my emails and shows me in other ways how much he loves me.

I hope you find the right man/men. You are still young, and guys at that age are still kids. Ok, the stay kids but do grow up a tiny bit ... lol

41. Similar stuff.
If he says mushy stuff to you, it's ok, but on his terms. It's about control. I've been down enough roads with enough life experience to know that and I don't play those games anymore. Nobody owns me.

Honesty. Openness. Dialog. That's how grown-ups deal with things and too often it seems to be difficult for the other gender.

45. Exactly.
I'll still never understand why everything has to be on their terms, but I suppose that's one of the lessons you have to learn. Kind of a double standard, but it'll save US the hurt in the long run. I just don't think they know how to articulate their feelings.

And he worships me. I require him to bring me home a cake or jewelry or flowers every day.

Kidding, of course. Mine's half-German though (stereotype alert!) so I had to tame him a bit. He didn't come out of the box the way he is today.

LMAO!

But goddammit, I love the crazy bastard and I love talking to him; the instant I hear his voice I feel all light-headed, like taking a shot of vodka on an empty stomach. Such a rush.

62. In the beginning I went almost crazy
if I didn't hear from him for a day. Now that I am more sure about him and our relationship I can go a day or two without talking to him. But because I rarely see him our phonecalls are important to me.
And I feel the same like you when I hear his voice or see him. Butterflies filling up my stomach.

64. thanks
long distance sucks. But then it makes the relationship more intense on the times you see your partner. For me when I see him it is like falling in love with him all over again and like it is the first date so anxious I am to see finally seeing him again after the separation.

:hug:
