I can related to where you are coming from. I use to be a very active DB socialite at one time and saw much of what you have said. I use to agree with what you have posted. And in part ran away from the DB social scene b/c it upset me. And I myself dated a fellow DB'er and it was a huge disaster.
Now five years later I have a little different take on this.
Different people follow different paths in life. We are all adults and part of being an adult is the freedom to choose an learn in your own way at your own pace. These days I am more about letting people do what they will and figure things out for themselves. Sometimes I find people learn more about life when they experience it themselves. I am happy for my friends if I am wrong and there to support them if I am right.
I reserve my soapbox for occasions where someone is placing themselves in danger or exposing their children to their post D issues.
take care, AG
I agree, AG, When you step back/out of the situation, you see it very differently.
Board relationships can take on meanings you never intended, or you can both take on those meanings, because you have an understanding of a piece of life that is the same, you grow 'close' because of a shared experience. The friendships and the romances very often go sour when folks meet up. Many people have regretted taking the relationships further than they did. Unfortunately, some people just have to live through it to realize it.
AG--I got your note. There were extenuating circumstances and I will leave it at that.
