You keep saying I post cryptic emails... I certainly guarantee that is not my intent. I try to clarify when asked.
Yeah... there were 200 emails on the AFF site... I signed up about five, six weeks ago... spent some time there initially digging around, and when I went back to check the account, boom, there they were. I found it a bit strange, given my lack of response... especially that the profile I posted was really, really short... dunno. I didn't read all the emails, but the ones I did... putting it in the context of an R and someone who is lying to you gives a different frame of reference, perhaps, than people who are going there to talk sex, hook up, whatever.
I think I explained why I did it, but perhaps that gives you a bit more info.
The post I made the other night was a venting... I had one glass of wine... but it was the venting, not the wine. The whole thing, with the xbf and the site... was a very cynical experience for me. Had the same kind of reaction when I watched the first quarter of Eastern Promises.
I want me to be happy, healthy and stable, too, Lil, and I thank you for your concern.
That's what we all want for you. Since this is a place we all vent often the mental picture we get of eachother here is not our public face but more like what a partner would see. The disappointments, frustrations, sometimes dispair and so on. Since it is virtual (you could be a wrestler from Cleveland) venting has few negatives.
The downside is others whom we all coorespond with get into fixit mode or WTF mode and respond accordingly. Not they are incorrect but it is harder to dissern venting from real issues. It is good you have people who do question or respond to your posts.
Best wishes

Oh, I know that it is not the site that is meant for "Relationship" in the big "R" kind of way but even if you are hooking up you have to be able to stand the sight and proximity of the individual. I am not at all surprised that all walks of people are on there - they are everywhere.

Of course. Given my background, that is the last place I'd ever hang out. The purpose of it was, xbf was quite insistent on convincing me how it was 'no big deal.' I was getting quite frustrated with him not 'hearing' me. It was interesting to me, his reaction, when I told him I had created an account, etc. All of a sudden, it was a 'big deal.' And that I didn't tell him... LOL!
I realize there are some things that are just different for men and women... but the reactions and the feelings we have to things (whether I think it is a big deal, or you do, or he does) come from similar places. And though we may not understand what 'sets someone else off,' the feelings behind it are genuine. To then stand there and say to someone... 'wtf, why are you being this way? This isn't a big deal...' that just minimizes someone. Invalidates them.
Which we all here, have experienced time and time again. We all know how much that hurts.
It was saying to him... 'you're hurting me. Stop it. If you don't want to, for your own reasons, that's fine. But don't minimize me in the process, or try to talk me out of something I'm feeling.' He understood, then, what I meant.
Kinda goes back to that whole 'acceptance' thing again. Everybody wants to be accepted for Who They Are. The other side of that equation, of the equal side of it is, in having someone accept you, you, in turn, accept them. <-- THAT is the hard part.

Can you clear this up Corri...it was a little too cryptic for me? Just kidding {as IC ducks a sucker punch from Lil} Very well put Corri...now get back to answering all those e-mails Love ya kid
We all know e-mailing some one encourages them to continue contacting you, so I suggest that Corri just flush all the interest she gathered while on AFF.
