My girlfriend

[AndrewAPrice]

I thought I should make a thread as a tribute to my girlfriend. And other people can do the same for their girl/boy friends.

I love..
..the way she can turn the most awful days in to some of the best.
..the way her smiles illuminate my insides when all else is dark.
..the way she comforts me when I'm frustrated and stressed with work.
..the way she always knows what to say at all the right times.
..the way she puts me above all others.
..the way she's smart and is always full of great ideas.
..the way we can talk bout anything and not even care what the other thinks.
..the way her glittering eyes can tell me more than her words can.
..the way she waits up for me to come home (even if I'm late and tell her not to).
..the way no matter what happens in life I'll know she'll always be there.

Someone's got it bad

I went for "Yes and I married them" (5 years now ) and wouldn't change that for anything.

Cheers,

Knew her for a long time, became a pair in 1999, proposed in 2001, married her in 2002. Her, and our two kids, are my anchor in happiness.

My wife and I were dating for only about 6 months when we got married. If I remember right, our wedding was the day after our "7 month anniversary". We've been happily married for 3 and a half years now, and have to kids... My son Colin is 3, and my daughter Emma just turned 1. As Solar said about his family, they're my anchor in happiness, and probably the only reason I manage to stay sane.

I voted for option 1 . I will never have a girl friend . I am happy staying single and prefer staying single .I will not mary. I am a freaking weirdo . There are other reasons as well

1) I want to reduce my country's surplus population ( least thing i can do for my country )

2) Married people tend to very selfish , If i stay unmarried I can do something good for the community as whole , without too much concerns about myself.

3) I do not want to waste a womans life , It is better that they stay away from me.

4) If i ever have kids , they will be called sons of sandeep --- 'Worst thing i can do to them'

5) Finally do not misunderstand me , I in my entire life has not treated a woman with disrespect , or involved in a relationship with any woman . I am supressing my internal emotions for a greater cause .

I'm not meaning to sound disrespectful of your decisions, but there were a few things in your post that I thought I'd point out.

1) Reducing the surplus population is a noble goal, but there's other ways to do it without sacrificing the benefits you may get by having a healthy relationship with a member of the opposite gender. Both times my wife was pregnant, her pregnancies were very rough, and there were a lot of health concerns for both her and the baby. So after our daughter was born, and after lots of discussion about the matter, I went to see a urologist and had things taken care of. We decided that we still would like to have another child, and we'd like to adopt. Unfortunately there's lots of unwanted children out there in need of a loving family, and we intend to provide a home for one.

2) I do know quite a few married couples that are very selfish, but on the whole I tend to find that a happily married couple is more caring and giving together than either one is capable of on their own. I've always donated some time and goods to charity and those in need, but since I have gotten married I find that I spend more time doing those things. Back to the unwanted children thing, my wife and I are also about to start attending classes to be foster parents. We've signed up with the appropriate county and state agencies so that if there's some reason a child needs a place to stay for a night, a week, or a month, there will be one more open slot. There have been entirely too many cases where a child that should have been taken away from abusive parents and put someplace safe was left in that abusive situation simply because there was nobody to take the child. Some people will point out that the government does provide a stipend for each foster child, and some people are in it just "for the money", but for us it's all about improving the quality of life for a child, and "doing the right thing."

3) Plenty of studies have been done that show married people are generally happier, healthier, and live longer, more fruitful lives. Of course, that in and of itself is no reason to get married, and here in the US the divorce rate is nearly 50%.

4) There's a lot worse things that could be done to a child than whatever damage you think may be done by their name. For me, I couldn't imagine life without my children. They're most of the reason that I am who I am today, and I find that I'm a much, much better person since they came into my life.

Finally, while I applaud your decision to act toward a greater cause, and I wish more people in this world adopt that way of thinking, I don't really agree with your Vulcan ideology on emotion. There's plenty of ways to further a cause without having to sacrifice so much of who you are, or potentially could be. That being said, perhaps you don't see it as sacrifice.

Again, I mean no disrespect with this post, and I apologize in advance if you or anyone else is offended. I think I'll step down from the altar now and get back to work.

i have a girl friend we been together for last 2 years planning to marry soon

[chezzestix]

lol at niteice

I am in the same boat. I love to date but I'm in an ackward position where I cant date until I move out to college because with this little time it would be pointless (one and a half weeks!). Maybe I'll catch one of the girls in the Computer Science or Computer Information Sytems majors or my college is big for its nursing program (oooohhh nuuuurrrsssseee!).

I don't know what to vote. I have a very sad story. I loved a girl very much, yes I still love her, but she just left me. Still I can't forget her, most of the day I remember her. I am missing her. Wish her with me again at some time in my life. So I don't have an option to vote.
