Counting myself lucky, but really?

In reply to ShadoPrism (msg # 111):

That's rotten, too bad you didn't take them to the cleaners!  Firing someone for passing out (like you chose to do it?!?) would have been bad enough, but that much worse when it was because of working conditions and poor decisions on their part.

Yeah, true, but I was only 19 and did not know about that stuff at the time.

I'm just dipping my toes back into the RPol water, and I guess I'm still a bit of a noob, but I was quite active for a few months, and intend to be so again. Which leads me to wondering in idle curiosity, whatever happened to vents-2? Or is that unhistory at this point?

Welcome back.  :)

Vents 2 went to 999 posts a while ago, and was retired.  It's still on the previous page, if you want to peruse it, though.

It was Burger King, so not a small place  (though last time I was down that way that store is totally gone, was a fishing tackle store in it's place).

frivolous question

Okay, I really need to vent. not because I am mad, but because I am hurt. Why do men think we women are so stupid that we won't find out things especially when they put stuff on the internet. I have been in a relationship with someone I was planning on moving in with them as soon as they got their housing straightened, til then I was living with my friend at first in PA and since then in Illinois because I was waiting for him to tell me I could come. Well, today when he didn't tell me he loved me back, which he ALWAYS does, I don't know why but I just knew something was wrong so I began looking online under his name. I found a woman whom I won't name, calling my boyfriend babe! I followed it to her facebook account and lo and behold, she has that she has been in a relationship with him for three months! Three months he has been stringing me along, making me believe everything was fine in our relationship and that I would still be going to be with him only to find out he lied to me. Well I messaged her, told her about how he and I had been in a relationship for over a year, she blocked me but that's okay, I don't care I just warned her to watch her back when it comes to him because if he can do it to me, he will do it to her too. And then I confronted him and he couldn't tell me anything other than it was the distance, we had seen each other in April and I hadn't had the money to come back down and see him, but I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Now I'm so hurt because I fell for him harder than I have for anyone else and I don't get it....what was so wrong with me that he couldn't just wait until his house was finalized and I could come be with him? I know you guys don't really know but I just need to get this out, I am hurt and so very, very confused.

In reply to fireflights (msg # 118):

I know this doesn't help right now, but be glad you hadn't moved in with him when you found out.  A rat like that probably would have done other hurtful things, and at the very least you would have been out a place to live on no notice at all.  Hopefully the other woman thinks things over and gives him some measure of what he deserves.

I hope she does too, but it still hurts really badly that he did this and he knows my past of men cheating on me, he swore up and down he was the one to always be cheated on and that he had never cheated on someone he was with. But now I believe he was just telling me what I wanted to hear.

frivolous question

I know you can't pick and choose I've been in your position before and it sucks majorly. However.. Some guys when they catch on you've been cheated on before see it as a gateway to do it because it's easy and because you've been through it before like you said he'll tell you things you wanted to hear.

But, he's a jerk for telling you it's because of the distance, it makes you feel at blame as well. But it's not, it's not your fault at all. He didn't need to go into a relationship with another woman, he could have told you 3 months ago he wasn't sure/happy.

For that, it makes it worse. But as Brianna said, be glad you didn't move in with him. If he wasn't willing to tell you for 3 months it could have gone on for a lot longer.

Thank god for us women, our gut instincts and FBI like minds and Internet at our ready.

Happens to us men to. I was dating a girl many years ago, we were even engaged to get married, then she married this Other guy and I only found out through a mutual friend it happened.
Ironically I had introduced her to the guy she married (he was the friend of another friend and we all met him at the first friends party).
Anyway you get the picture - even men get cheated on. It's hard to find good people sometimes.

I know even men get cheated on, he told me he had only ever had girls cheat on him and he was the one always getting heart broken. Well so was I and it seems like it's still me in the end who is getting heart broken. I'm so tired of being the one hurting, I have never cheated on a guy, I have always given my all in a relationship, so I just don't get it. But oh well. Guess it's just how my life has to go.

Some of us seem doomed to have horrible love lives.
Me, I am turning 50 this year and I have totally given up on finding someone whom I could have in my life. Been hurt far to many times to put myself out there any more.
I hope this is not so for you.

Sadly for me as far as I feel right now it is. I am tired of being hurt, I am almost 38 and I can't give anyone kids, I have multiple medical issues, one being precancer, one being my back with degenerative disc disease and two very bad knees. I'm a mess so honestly, I felt lucky I had found a guy like him, until now. So now.....I'm just done no one will want a broken woman who can barely walk.

You may be surprised on that one.
But I am in much the same boat medically speaking. Had 3 strokes (that we know of) over the last 20 years, broken bones, (shattered left shoulder with new steel joint that hurts all the time), the bad knee's (that one is actually pretty common I am finding, though the reasons vary), and many other health issue's.
Finding Anyone willing to put up with our problems is a godsend. I got some friends who help me out (between their own drama's), but nothing in the romance department.

Heh, we could problem fill a thread with our combined health issue's (everyone who visit's this thread that is). Sometimes we forget that. Which is why we have vent threads - helps us reconnect with others who can sympathize with our woe's and try and offer a little comfort to our wounded souls.

Yeah, I'm sure it's been very rough for you and I'm sorry you have to go through all of that. Me, I have arthritis on both my knees, had a surgery to repair torn cartilidge on the right one. I had a girl at 150lbs jump up in the air and slam her entire body weight onto the middle of my back when I was 21 to now cause me to have degenerative disc disease moderate in my L5 and L4 and mild in my L3, I can't get my meds right now because of a transition, I have pre cancer in my uterus and haven't had my suppression meds for almost three days now, it can come back which is why I have decided to remove my uterus, I honestly weigh 340lbs right now because I can't exercise. So I am rather stuck and he knew all of this about me, not to mention the emotional scars I have from not only past relationships but from my abusive childhood too and he said he accepted everything, now I wonder just how much lying he did to me.

Fireflights, Shadoprism, I know the feeling.

Justing looking for friends, maybe some fun ^.^, but for now the idea of getting married again is definitely a no.

Tired of being lied to as well. Bleh.

I am getting quite frustrated with a series of horrendous GMs I've had. It's getting really annoying. I generally joinig adult games because I figure that the participants will be more mature, not less!

Working two part time jobs to be able to afford to rent a room in someone's house.  Trying to make payments on debts that I can't legally fight, despite them not being my fault.  (Long story, but that's not the point.). Now, my work pants just ripped and I need to buy a new pair one one of my precious half days off.  Now I have to put my bedroom back together after an exterminator sprayed for ants.  Looks like another night of less than six hours of sleep.

Truth is, however, that I feel pretty blessed.  Things could easily have been much worse.  So, while I soak my feet, I raise a glass to my fellow RPoLers.  May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends!
