| | emporessmystique's profile:I'm 47, been married, divorced, have 2 grown children of whom I'm very proud. I've been married twice, first time at 19, because I was pregnant, divorced 2 years later. My 1st ex was physically abusive. Second marriage at 24, married for almost 20 years, ended mainly because my husband was an alcoholic and became very emotionally abusive, and refused to get help for his problem. Now I'm in a relationship going 7 years strong, and I'm very happy. Through my life I've learned that most situations are not black and white, there's alot of grey areas. With age I hope I'm acquiring wisdom. I have become much more open minded as I've gotten older, and that's definitely a good thing! I've experienced so much in my life, but can still find things to smile about. And remember..just one person can make a difference!Feel free to write me anytime. |

A. 25 December 2008: It would appear that he likes you and enjoys talking to you, but maybe the idea of a long distance relationship doesn't really appeal to him and that's why he doesn't make more of a move? LDR are very difficult, and many people can't/won't get ... (read in full...)
