Resolved Question: I broke up with my gf but it doesn’t seem right at all?
It all started when my ex told me she had made plans to go see a friend in another state, prior to us being together. At first she told me it was just a friend, then that she had feelings for him in the past, and then that she thought that was her soul mate, but says nothing ever happened because she knew he was wrong for her. We had an argument over it one day and she canceled the trip. I asked her if she still had feelings for him and she replied “NO, that ship has sailed”, so to me this was a little reassurance, and I should be ok with it. Eventually we got very close and we told each other that we wanted to be with each other for the rest of our lives. As the time grew neared I finally told her to go because I told myself that I don’t want to keep her from doing something that is going to keep her happy. She said that this trip was supposed to make us stronger. Before she goes, I told her the only 2 things I didn’t want her to do was sleep in his bed or drink. The first night that she is down there she calls me and tells me she is sleeping in his bed because there is no extra blanket for her to sleep in the couch and she tells me “what do you want me to do, freeze my ass to death.” The next day they buy a blanket, but again she sleeps in his bed because his roommate passed out drunk on the couch, and the same goes for the third night. The fourth night she tells me she is not even going to attempt to try and go for the couch because she will be waiting all day. The whole time she is down there we are constantly arguing, and I ask her if she is starting to have feelings for him again and she tells me that she never stopped. While she is away I am chatting with her roommate who is legally her husband but they are not in a romantic relationship anymore (she needs the medical insurance), and he tells me that everything is ok, and she would never cheat on me by the way she talks about me to him. When she comes back she tells me “why would she come back to me if there is someone else who loves her and wouldn’t put her through all that stress?” I also ask her if we were to break up would she go to him instantly and her original response was “why do you care?”, and I said that I thought I had a right to know- and she said yes she would. He sent her an email after she had told him that she made a commitment to be with me, and he said that he would never sink the ship and give up on the idea of them being together. What she told me bothered me and what he told her bothered me. I suggested we go to counseling to work out our problems, and I tell her that we should keep that (going to counseling) to ourselves as to honor our relationship, and she tells me she already told her friend whom she visited, but was sorry and wouldn’t tell anyone else. I got upset and I told her that if she was going to keep him around for the wrong reasons that I didn’t want to be there anymore as to be in a 3 way relationship because our problems are no business of his. She called to tell him that they couldn’t be friends anymore. Later that same week, I slept over her house and told her that I never wanted to tell her who to be friends with and who not to be as long as she knew where to draw the line, and by constantly telling him where we stood because he kept asking was to me disrespectful. I don’t have a problem with her sharing these things with friends and family like I have done, but to tell the person whom the troubles were about is too much. So she text’s him instantly at midnight after I tell her that, and tells him they could be friends again, but told me that she didn’t want to see him anymore as she only wanted to be with me. We go to counseling and the therapist constantly accuses me of throwing darts at her heart. He said I shouldn’t have told her not to sleep in his bed because she is not 5 years old, or that I shouldn’t concern myself if there is a third person involved, and I should never ask her if she still has feelings for the other person, and tells her if I ask something she doesn’t have to answer. I thought the point of counseling was to better your communication and NOT to tell each other to communicate less. The Sunday before we break up I ask her again if she has feelings for him and she said yes and I tell her that is not fair to me, and tell her that she shouldn’t be in a relationship with me if she doesn’t know what she wants. 2 days later we are supposed to see the therapist and she told me before we go that she was going to break up with me and we were just going to therapy to end things amicably. When we get there the therapist asked me what was wrong as he saw the mood in my face change and he tells her to step outside so he can talk with me. I tell him that I didn’t want to break up with her, and he said how about I ask her if she would be willing to work it out with you on a 4 week probation period you guys keep coming here and we will try and work it out. She comes back i
(this part got cut off from the original)
so she agrees to the probation period and says we will work it out. The next day everything is wonderful, and then the next day we go ice skating and go to eat at a restaurant, and I ask her if she had already made up her mind regarding the probation and she didn’t say anything because the therapist told her she didn’t have to answer my questions. I leave the restaurant and email her how hurt I was. Despite all things that have happened afterward I STILL love her. She told me that she would go to see the other guy when we broke up. She also blames the relationships failure on me because I wasn’t there for her emotionally the last 3 weeks of our relationship, and that I was emotionally abusive and emotionally unstable. When a mutual friend told her what she did to me all she said was he did this and this and never took any responsibility for anything she did. Despite all this I still love her.
My question is why does my inexperience of dealing with that situation stopping me from being with the only person I CANNOT live without? I didn’t know how to handle it and perhaps I should have been more empathetic towards it and understanding but I wasn’t and that is costing me the only thing good in life that I hoped for and causing me to be in endless pain.
Voting Question: Pulled over with out reasonable cause.?
Sorry this is a bit long.
My husband and I were pulled over, while on vacation to a national park. We were just heading home and were NOT on national park property when we were pulled over.
The officer stated that he was unable to see our sticker (we had a new car) and that he pulled us over accordingly. First of all once the officer was behind us he could clearly see the sticker in the window (he says so in his own statements) I asked him him if everything was satisfactory at that point then. And he stated well since I got you pulled over I may as well check your paper work.
After a moment he paused looked in the backseat at my children and asked, why aren’t they in seat belts. In unison my boys all said..WE ARE! and pointed to their buckles. Then he asked if these children were really mine. ?? what is that his business anyway?
After a moment he asked for the paperwork again and I stated it was in the back of the car, and apologized for the inconvenience, because we had been hiking and I put the safety kit in the glove compartment and had to move everything out of the glove into the safety compartment in the trunk (long story) SO I walked to the trunk (as he permitted) and opened it, There was a packed item (lightweight in the way) and I started to move it, the cop rolled his eyes and said just forget it. I told him, it’s ok the car IS insured and it’ll just take a sec for me to get it..he said he didn’t want it.
He then told my husband that he was under arrest for driving on a suspended license… Which was news to us. He arrested my husband in front of my children and I was forced to find my way to the town some 50 miles from where we were pulled over. He attended court that day and the judge told him that he better plead innocent (which was our intent) or he would get 30 days in jail right now.
The cop pulled me to the side outside the court and told me he was issuing my husband a no insurance ticket. I told him I had the papers in my car (which was parked RIGHT in front of us and the cop had no probs with me driving it)
When we arrived backk at our home 240 miles away we learned the suspended license was due to an accounting error and was promptly restored with an oops, sorry.
I unloaded the car, put the insurance back in the glove (intent on showing it at the court hearing) I switched insurance the next month for cheaper rates but kept the card..Our court date wasn’t until Dec. In Nov. my car was broken into and trashed, nothing was stolen but they smashed my stereo and papers were scattered about the neighborhood from mine and other vehicles…The old ins. card was gone, so I called and conveniently the company was out of biz. so we now had to accept the no ins. ticket as well.
Now this court has made us put our lives on the line by traveling through some of the worst weather on some of america’s deadliest roads (glacier National park ) our next date is in January 13 th and the public defender is trying to get my husband off on the fact that the stop was illegal all the way around.
My real question is, I know what the cop did was wrong. I have missed work as has my husband, my kids school, my kids watched their father be arrested on an oops from a court. We have put our lives at risk because this court won’t move dates to spring. I would like to put charges against the sheriffs dept. in that county. ANyone else think I have the grounds to do so?
Wow, some of you are just helpful little creatures..If you had read the whole thing you would know we have one attorney already. I was hoping there would be someone who knows a little more about due process and would know what kind of grounds we have…
As for a the person who called it a tale. I don’t waste my literary talents on people like you. Crap happens in life and unfortunantley right now it’s happening to us. SO if you have nothing intelligent to say..don’t answer the thread.
Temporary tags in Montana are just your registration with the date of expiration written in black marker on them…they don’t run them.. they can’t. The officer ADMITTED to it being a wrongful stop.
ozpry? How can i control who responds to my posts? Someones just milking for points I see. at least they wrote a good answer…BTW.. UPDATE> The attorney in That county in Montana is now seeking that the charges be dropped as a result of the officers admittance… I will update after our court date if there is one this month..as right now HIGHWAY 2 From Shelby to Glacier is closed due to blowing and drifting snow.
Voting Question: How am I bisexual and a Republican?
I know it’s weird but I just don’t believe with pretty much anything the Lil’ Dems or the Obama/Biden ticket promotes and stands for. I voted McCain/Palin this year, my first time voting because I’m 18 yrs old. I’m from the Bay Area of California.
I’ve take every political spectrum test on the net and they all label me “right wing”, “conservative”, “Republican”, etc.
Here some of my stances on some major issues:
1) Abortion: Pro-Life, pro parental consent/notification
2) Same-Sex Marriage: support civil unions/domestic partnerships only
3) Iraq: winning the war should be the top priority
4) Healthcare: Against socialized medicine, except for those who are below the poverty line, social security eligible, or temporarily while unemployed. Tax credits to purchase private quality insurance.
5) Wellfare: Wellfare-to-Work programs, which require the recipient to either actively seek employement or attend school or job-training programs. Should be temporary and not a primary mean of income.
6) Economy: only the necessary regualtion to prevent illegal and unfair practices and prevent recessions, too much regulations compromise the free market capitalism ideal.
7) Immigration: Illegal immigrants should be deported. 
Police Bruality/Racial Profiling: As a future politician, if elected mayor, would deal with this personally and would not hesitate to relieve corrupt sheriffs, police chiefs, and officers, from their duties if they participate in misconduct.
9) Prayer in schools: There should be a moment of silence which would allow students to pray in which ever faith they choose. Thos who are not religious would be able to use this time for studying or silent reading.
Am I really a Republican?
I’m just watching the aweber 30DC+ videos right now. Caro mentions putting in a street address for the footer, because legally you need one. Is it time to get a PO box for this. I certainly don’t want to put my actual address in. Does everyone here have a business address?
