Straight out of the mail is fine. It gets a little better after a few days, but there's not much difference (IMO).

Saturday is the day. Spoke it over with a friend of hers and she's gonna take photos. Bla bla bla. I didn't want to involve anyone else but its her best friend.
Hhv should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to steep these bad boys and try some new flavors.

Popping in to say hello. Hello !
Got back lunchtime from overnight to WV, leave out suppertime for two-night run to OH/ KY/ SC. Pays the mortgage.
Maybe I could put in a request to our little ray of sunshine (Becky) for a certain 'Highway Song' from an old southern band called Blackfoot.
Be good Y'all. Have a Safe and Blessed Wednesday, whenever it gets here for ya !

Well in the interests of full disclosure, my stunning 10+ year run with the lioness may have run its course.
We are different people now and I think we are gonna work out a way to go our separate ways while keeping our kids together as much as possible. Not official yet, but it kinda seems that way to us both. Sad in a way but exciting, too. It will be nice to do this right and do right by the boys.
It's really not hard to understand with me working like I do and being the rather taxing personality that I have. Of course there are other things as well, and that's not hard to figure out. I am maybe just not a good serious boyfriend guy right now and maybe I never will be. This was probably my best chance at one, and I can honestly say I don't have any regrets either way and am glad I had this experience. She is the longest (by far) relationship I have had.
So my marital advice is coming from that perspective...which is a bit compromised.

I was going to chime in with some wisdom along these lines too. So no hammering from me.
If it's nerves because you're excited and hope it goes well, then just suck it up and deal with it.
IF you are nervous because there are a few things that seem off... please think long and hard about it. I'm not a big fan of divorce either, it hurts, it's scary etc... But I'll share my experiences.
First marriage I did not give it any thought at all, he asked, I said yes, I knew it wouldn't last. 100% without a doubt I was certain this was not forever. And it wasn't, it was a short few years of separating, trying again, cheating, lying, separating repeat.. finally divorcing each-other (no kids, no house, I was 20).
Current marriage.. Definitely said yes because I was in it for the long haul and believed we'd be happy forever. But... there were things that just weren't right. My well being was not anywhere on his priority list and honestly his fell off mine when I realized this several years into it. Then we had kids and bought homes and i was too busy to care about it anymore. We have nice times together, but I'm still not on that priority list. AT ALL. Kids are older, not so consuming of my attention and NOW.. just about 15 yrs into it, the same feelings I had when we got engaged are still there. The not so certain feelings. Sure, we can stay married and be relatively happy. But do I want relatively happy when I'm 86 and using a walker and he's still not holding the door for me?
really listen to yourself Craig and be very clear on what's making you nervous.
Good luck!
I see we are on the same wavelength here. No wonder I agreed with you! I'm sorry though. It's a really crappy feeling, the kids UGH
That is freakishly like how I feel.
I just think that we have lost making each other as happy as we could. It's not that she is bad at anything, but, I dunno. Is it supposed to be this routine, mundane, and "good enough"? She says that she does not feel like I say I feel but I think she is just settling for the easy path. Our hearts are not in it. I think we take too much for granted and are gonna be better off apart. I am glad we are good enough friends where we can do it now and make it clean.
It is possible that I am just not a one woman kind of guy and I am just a wanderer. It's not any concrete thing. I just feel something is "off".
I'm not a fan of good enough. You are fortunate that she is thinking on the same lines. Mine is not accepting at all and it's making things very hard. Routine and mundane are certainly part of long term relationships but if you are working to help the other grow and be happy it should add dimensions and break up routine right? I find we are each just doing our own thing with each of us tagging along as necessary more out of duty than desire.
That is it. Me and mine are really efficient room mates.
But I am fine with it, I really am. I see this as an exciting new part of my life and I am glad I identified this and did not waste another 1, 2, 3 years doing it. Good lord, life is way too short for giving any of it away!
Okay, we gotta stop Sunny, we are gonna scare Picc!
People should wait until they're 50 to get married.
Just jokin' folks...don't hammer me too.

I'm with the chimp. I got no advice. Nothing. I'm coming from a place so far far away from everyone here it's hard for y'all to get in my head and understand and vice versa so I'll stop there. And nothing seems appropriate right now. But I will say that I wish you all luck and no matter the paths you choose I hope that you will be happy in the end. And I truly mean that.

Now that's funny right there!
Marriage advice from me - When you've known the "one" for a while, you love them, can't imagine your world without them in your life, and they feel the same about you, then go with your heart. And in the opposite situation, then go with your heart. You can't predict the future and neither can anyone else, and we're a long time dead.
