He's not much to look at, but he's super sweet. He's in pretty rough shape - a diabetic, skin and bones and up there in years. Bless his heart. I think he's lonely and wants some lovin' during his senior years. Who could blame him?

I really need to stop my feelings from growing. I cannot get too attached to this old guy. What am I to do????


Do not get attached to someone out of pity for him. Goodness Sakes Girl !!!

Back up & think about what you TRULY want IF your M doesn't work out. Write down all the qualities that are important to you in a person. Realize that IF your M doesn't work, you'll need healing time. You'll need to be alone & recover & discover who you are now. The worst thing you could do is jump into a R before this one even ends. That's job advice, get one while you still have one, not Relationship advice, girlie.

Be busy when the neighbor stops by. You're standing in QUICK SAND !!

xoxo I want all the best for you, this isn't it.

I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
