[Sigh] is this baseball, basketball or American football. Do you people not know that Argentinia just had a major victory over Ireland?
We are talking Rugby here my friends, played where men are men, and women are women and small furry creatures from Alphs Centurii ARE small furry creatures from Alpha Centurii . . . .
Not quite what I meant Jazz - we are currently insignficant in our WAS' plans, and hugely significant in how they are behaving. If that sounds gnomic it is because it is gnomic.
Ok, back to role of the real OP. (If you are getting laid by your spouse who is off with someone else, then yes, you would qualify.)
Roles of OP: * To piss off spouse. Perhaps to get back at or to hope spouse will dump them upon learning the news, i.e. the coward's way out. * WAS has been looking all along and finally found a suitable person (for whatever reason) * Happens to be there when someone feels they get no emotional support from their spouse
After getting over feeling sorry for myself, I pretty much don't feel sorry for anyone. I do however feel empathy for those with children with cancer and the like.
What I am really trying to think about is whether and in what ways the OP supplies the 'missing pieces' for our WAS MLC. They go for a range of types, and some of the r's last and some don't, but I wondered what the MLCer was looking for in choosing that particular person, or whether anybody would have done .. .
No, IMO, just anybody wouldn't have done. IMO, the WAS goes looking for someone who demands nothing of him/her. In particular, the WAS picks someone who will not demand that the WAS look at him/herself, or question his/her choices, in any way. I think the WAS is running from many things, but at the top of the list I think the WAS runs from himself as the source of his problems.
I think that is why the often pick people just like them who seem either very needy, or just plain beneath them. No demands, no expectations, and certainly no expectations to change themselves.
Really?? I feel sorry or at least compassionate for lots of people. And pretty good about myself, most of the time. I did feel sorry for me, and for my kids, but that is such a waste of time. There are worse things in the world happening in BangKok and Darfur and China right now, that's for sure.
Actually, angelica, my SIL was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. I definitely felt bad, but then I saw her and my brother after the initial reaction take the bull by the horns and they didn't feel sorry for themselves, I figured it didn't make sense for me to feel sorry for them. That is how I mean it.
Yes, I do see - I had cancer and survived - didn't feel sorry for myself, and would have resented the wrong sort of pity that is for sure.
I guess the people I feel sorry for are those who are destroying themselves by their actions . . . and taking others down with them. it is a sort of helplessness.
