I'm also sure that I can mess up my life all by myself if I tried hard enough. :dead: :)

I'm sorry Armistead...you tried but I think I won't follow that advice.

And good for you. I'm sure Armistead was just joking. Even if I was serious I wouldn't dream of offering anyone in relationship matters. I can't think of anyone who has done worse in that area.

On the other hand feel free to ask just for fun. I'm sure you'll get an answer that will cheer you up if nothing else. :sunny:

Thanks...

Good luck to you also for that other girl you mentioned...

It's time to formulate a plan...Let's see...I'll need The A-Team, Chuck Norris, and a Priest....

No? Didn't buy it? Okay...I have no plan... :hmph: Not yet...that is... :cool:

(Gee...here we are...a bunch of Naval Nerds talking about relationships on an internet forum... We're cool right guys? :oops: )

Carrollsue 02-17-13 08:12 AM

Sometimes you can be a nerd in one department and something else entirely in others. This forum has an older average age than most, ranging all the way up to men in their eighties. We have people who have been happily married for forty years or more, and ones who've never married.

I've been engaged to a girl who decided otherwise and nearly killed me, happily married for eleven years to a great woman, which ended because of my slide into depression, divorced, have two daughters who don't talk to me, and four grandchildren, three of whom I've never met and the fourth I've seen exactly once.

Back when I was in the navy I thought the girl next door was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I was still trying to work up the courage to ask her out when the old girlfriend dropped back into my life and I forgot everything else. That ended with her dumping me and me finally having to move to another state just to survive. A few years ago I found out from my sister that the girl next door had had a secret crush on me. If only I'd known then. The one I was engaged to and lost recently came back into my life, talking about how crushed she was when I left her! It only took a few weeks of emails before she decided all over again that I wasn't worth her time.

I don't try to have relationships any more, not because I'm afraid of getting hurt or because I don't like women. I don't try because I've come to believe that I'm not fit company for that kind of involvement. I loved my wife, but not the way I should have, and I don't think I could feel that way for anyone else either. So I'm happy for my sister, who has a great marriage, and I live entirely alone, rarely even talking to another human being.

So yes, your situation could be worse. On the other hand you're still quite young, and the person you end up loving for decades could well be waiting somewhere for you to find her. College is an amazing place for meeting the love of your life or for just having fun. Don't be in too much of a hurry. Looking back we say life is short, but at your age life is long and there's plenty of time. Enjoy it while you can.

Best post in the thread, Steve.

Armistead 02-17-13 12:05 PM

As much as I joke, I'm blessed with a great wife. If you can find trust without jealousy, you've found a gem. We'll be together until I'm dead.

Also blessed with a great daughter from my first marriage, 3 granddaughters and just told last month another granddaughter on the way. She started dating this fella in the 8th grade, never had another boyfriend in her life. I just pray they stop having babies, but I'm guessing they'll try one more time for a son. He works for the FBI.

Sounds like you've been to Hell and back.

I realize that my situation could be a lot worse. That made me feel a little better. Thanks for that.

When I had been married for two or three years, my wife worked for a local gift shop. The owner's daughter was going to Los Angeles on a buying trip, and asked my wife if she wanted to go too. She asked me, and I thought it was a great idea. Someone I worked with asked me "Aren't you worried? How can you trust her all alone like that?"

I replied that if I couldn't trust her, why would I be married to her? If she betrayed that trust there was plenty of time to move on. Silly question.

Your daughter could be in the 'Beautiful Women' thread. So could your wife, for that matter.

A little secret; only half is true. I've never come back.

Glad I could be of some help, however little. Even when you live the way I do, life can have its good moments.

Why? I've lived with it for years. Decades even.

Carrollsue 02-17-13 07:23 PM

I read this everyday and just think "WOW"
 
:hmmm:When this started I did not have ANY IDEA that it would come into something like this ..” amazing group of younger and old men” looking into the soul. Damn! Woman find this they will LOVE it!!


Some things first, All those picture are BEAUTIFUL and Mr. Armistead, your son and his family is something to Behold, bet your muscles, that are use to smile, must ache all night long, from the smiling.:yeah:


Now, my turn…I not going into all of it, just the part the last 3 years. I was told that I have mild Alzheimer’s, known something was wrong for a couple of years and then fend and found out. Well, anyway, what happens sometime is that I dream very “alive dream” and so I sleep alone, and the cost of this will be unbelievable so I have move to the Philippines, were I can live very well on me military retirement pay, TriCare and Medicare, yep it can be done. So, I’m married, wife in Tifton, Ga, she well taken care of, kids and grandkids, older and old. I have a good family here that helping me and in that family there is this 2 year lovely girl who, when I go into those “Dark Times” put me out of there so I can live again


So, PLEASE if you get like I do sometimes, get help, play with kids, go into the sun, BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING. :subsim:
