Hardly faking it anymore: Puddle's third thread

[Heimlich]

OK, for the record, I would NOT subject anyone to me in a thong.

Regarding the meeting someone new being easier. OK, right, a new R would have lots of baggage of whatever sort -- kids, past R, jobs, living arrangements, finances, etc. However, I still think the whole getting to know you, falling in love part could be easier with someone totally new because there isn't any immediate personal baggage between the new couple. I'm not saying that R would ultimately be better, just that it could/would be easier without the amount of pain that our spouses have inflicted on us and vice versa to begin something new.

I remain committed to the idea that if all of us could get through to the other side with our current spouses that that relationship would be one for the ages.
