Getting Back Together

[Siggie]

I agree with dusky.


Anyway, like I said, as long as the mosaic doesn't cheat on you with another vase until he's ready to marry you.... you're O-KAY!

Uhm, it makes sense to me!

I agree CK... if it does, you can donate it to the salvation army or you can break it into pieces and send its remains to the dump, so it never cheats again.

I avoid ceramics altogether; expensive, fragile, impractical. Metal containers are the best. They may not look as lovely but they do not break and they are cheap.

I am officially lost in this metaphor.

Wow, this thread is infused with metaphors.

They may not look as lovely but they do not break and they are cheap.

No you are not completely lost, in fact I see a perfect connection. In other words you are suggesting that not-so-attractive men are perhaps not a splendor to look at, but they are more reliable and modest.

I agree.

And to add to the topic, I believe that it all depends on the circumstances. There are no set standards.

dont try to make sense of it... it's bigger than all of us. wtf? *shakes head* I dont know what's wrong with me today. I'm a little nutty.

You use metal containers for vases?
You should avoid ceramics.....especially if you're making them.

[dusken]

Ha! I see how it is.

[Siggie]

Ha! I see how it is.

Okay, I take it back... they're disturbing in a beautiful sort of way.

[dusken]

Only two of them are actually disturbing. Well, maybe three if you are easily disturbed.

Anyway, I admit to sucking at ceramics.

I'm lovin the metaphor in this thread

I would say it depends as well... sometimes being apart changes your perceptions and you may see tiny things that you argued about before as what they are... inconsequential. *shrug*

But won't those little things get bigger though if it was worth to fight about?

Stats:

1st marriage: Chance of divorce about 51%

2nd marriage: Chance of divorce about 77%

2nd marriage to same person: Chance of divorce 82%


There you are my friends. It will almost NEVER work. I know there are exceptions to this rule, but from my experience with it, these stats seem to make A LOT of sense to me. The first thing that will always haunt you is the reason why you broke up. Basically, why did the 2 of you decide when your relationship wasn't fighting for any longer. Then, you begin to ask yourself if this is going to happen when you are faced with other problems. If it's so easy for him/her to walk out so easily then, what makes you think it can't happen again? Also, during the time you were apart and SINGLE, what happened? You two will hold back so much from eachother for fear of something coming out. Maybe you were with someone else during the break-up or he/she was. These are just problems that make the relationship SO MUCH MORE difficult.

It's hard to sustain a healthy relationship. That's why you have to start off with a clean slate. You can't have excess baggage from the relationship before.

It depends on what it is. If it really is a small thing, then it wont get bigger. You live with it because no one's perfect and you probably have tiny flaws they're living with as well.
