A New Decade - Part 2

[JCJ]

Yeah, I agree with the piece of paper. It is the promises that are important. In fact I know of a few couples that lived together and got married and the marriage just added loads of extra pressure. They were happier before.

[MsMelancoly]

Yep, I agree. I totally forgot about Gene Simmons.

Sometimes society puts too much pressure on being married. Makes you wonder what the "togetherness" rate is for LTR? Sometimes you just want to dam that life script you've been brought up believing. I guess I seem to struggle with that a lot inside. What's expected ......

[MichelleLT]

If I've learned one thing here, expectations bring trouble.

ESPECIALLY expectations from outside - e.g. from society or family.

And really, who would expect someone from KISS to have a stable LTR? He travels all the time, all the girls and fans and stuff. I mean, that's a LOT of stress on a R. I give him and Shannon big kudos.

[MsMelancoly]

No, you totally would expect a famous rock star to stay in a LTR. Ah, Shannon Tweed is her name - I knew it would come to me. Yep, kudos to her & to both of them. The ultimate sign of trust!!

[Virtually_Handsome]

I have to ask..... is that Shannon Tweed the "actress"? Gene Simmons and a centerfold for 23 years? That's incredible!

[AliSuddenly]

Hey MsM... I cant believe the positive interactions you and H are having these days! One thing that strikes me as really good in your sitch, is that there doesnt seem to be any OW??? Thats good as it DOES complicate things and make it awkward for them. So thats a huge plus. You are doing really well !

Don't know if Shannon Tweed was an actress, but do know from watching their show she was a Playboy bunny (I think that's what they call them)

Yes, Ali, It is good & strange. I think he sees me as not the enemy & we can work together. So I'm not all that bad after all. I think a lot had to do with pride - pride of standing on his own 2 feet. And of letting the past & the blame game go.

Gotta keep being that "cool" girl!!

[Kenn]

"Cool" and "fun"

Shannon did a whole lot of B movies....so I not sure she would be considered and actress........ouch - hopefully she doesn't read these threads.

So hi MsM, Hope your weekend is going well.

[JCJ]

Any more H contact Ms M?

[MsMelancoly]

Hey Kenn & Julia, Yeah - Hopefully she isn't reading these!!

I emailed my H this week. It seems he has been demoted - aagain at work. So he is applying for a few jobs elsewehere.

Frankly, my work schedule the past 2 weeks has kept me very busy. Pretty much just sleeping, posting & working. This 1pm-10pm schedule (& on the weekends) sucks. But I get overtime. After this week my life & schedule will return to normal. Yeah!!!!!!

Wednesday is my H's birthday. Have to check to see if we are still on for dinner. I think I can slip away from work for 2 hours for dinner.

So all is well .... except for being dead tired.
