Lean on your friends when you need them. That’s what friends are for. And you will find out which are your real friends — those that stay with you through thick and thin. So tell your man-friend. Cry if you need to. But be careful not to let the intimacy of sharing your dark thoughts transmogrify into the other kind of intimacy. Save that for another time.

Your blog loads nice and quickly, because I have Flash turned off.

One of your blog ads is a Flash animation. I’ll bet that’s what’s constpiating those “tubes” on the Internets.

As for neediness: You’re human. You have needs. We all do. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Your kids need to see that too: courage isn’t being perfect or stone-cold or never showing weakness, courage is soldiering on despite your weaknesses, and whatever is thrown at you.

Also, humans are resilient. People have survived worse. You’re already raising kids by yourself, so the only thing that might change is no longer having a man around that you don’t like, to get in your way, or make demands on you. It could be e a win overall for you and your kids.

They all need to see strength and capability in a man, not just in me. Donâ€™t they?

As someone who grew up under the bad marriage my parents persisted with until I accidently provided the last straw (long story) I can safely say this:

They need NOT see the lack of strength with parents unable to contain their unhappiness, resentment and anger with eachother if they persist with an unsuccessful marriage.

My mother tried to hold it all together and just make do but the dam came tumbling down. The reason it was so unpleasant at the time because of the DECADES of troubled waters behind.

If you’re going, get going. Worry about things WHEN they happen, not IF they happen.

It’s a little slow, it seems to be the ads, ad servers are notoriously over burdened.

Grumble.

It’s alllllways something, isn’t it?

Always some vile scheme to deprive me of my wankin’ time because of some silly coding issue.

Coding, wanking, coding, wanking…which will it be?

Hi AAG,

One of my favorite quotes re: this situation is this:

“Deserve’s got nothing to do with it” William Munny, Unforgiven

As far as M-X being in a cynical, bad mood, it’s all my fault. I told her that I was her ‘huggy bear’.

Hey, I tried.

I’ve been noticing that it hangs up a little when you first open it in my Firefox. Like some link or something is timing out, maybe.

Is it loading slowly for everyone? It’s not for me, but I’m on a high speed connection…

Please let me know.

For the love of FUCK, AAG!
Could your blog take any longer to load?

OK so I am inthe same situation as yours and you all know how bitter and cynical I am.

I always give vague answers to men because I always feel that they are just being kind and don’t REALLY want to know how I am doing.

I know that’s shitty of me but who ever said I was a nice person.

I’m a little fucking ray o sunshine today, aren’t I?
