My friend was rejected by a guy, his excuse was "I've always had an intuition that I was going to die young, so I'm afraid to get into a serious relationship with anyone."

My ex said: "If I stayed with you, I'd be settling"...after we were together for 7 years! Now, I've been with a great new guy, who thinks that my ex was crazy for ever telling me that.

Please note that my birthday is in August.

He wanted to see what it felt like to miss me. He also wanted to see if he wanted to be with me forever.

ahem... "I don't like your new haircut."
perhaps that's the award winner in the shallowness category?

My ex initially said that I brought him to life after a long dull relationship (36 years). He said that I have him a reason to live, a twinkle in his eye, brought a smile to his lips and showed him passion again but that he was in love with another woman. A woman he would not have had the nerve to approach if I had not given him the confidence to try.

I broke off a great relationship because of a dog too. I hate animals inside a home...its just nasty. ( I would rather have kids) She was wonderful...almost perfect.. beautiful, caring, witty, fun, But..I refuse to live in the same house as an animal..especially a dog. They belong outside. So I broke it off when she got a puppy. She had an older dog already..it was so old I was hoping it would die soon. Oh well...I ended up marrying a non-animal lover like me..so it works. P.S. We have 4 great kids.....
