First, Allon replied to a posting of mine and said its
often hard to tell whether you are in love or just think
you are. I must agree, it is hard. I think the easiest
way for me to tell is when I'm angry with my SO/mate/
honey. (Yeh, that'll happen once in a while.) I think
I tend to find it very easy to forgive someone I'm in
love with. If I'm not really in love. I tend to forgive
a bit more grudgingly. I also get a lot more tolerant
so that its harder for me to get angry in the first
place. I also get angry about different things. If she
says she smacked up the car ("Oh, it looks terrible,
I'm so sorry!") Me: "Damn woman! I don't give a damn
about the car. Are YOU okay? Piss on the car!" Does
this stuff make any sense??

I am not currently living with anyone. I have lived with 
ladyfriends a couple of times. Though there have been a
few rough spots, I really did enjoy "shackin' up". Something
about having a lady around just did me a lot of good. As
a side note to the person who asked about the financial deal,
both of my live-in ladyfriends made quite a bit less than I
do. But, once you put the money in one pile, who gives a darn
where it came from? (That doesn't mean we should waste it, it
just means its *OURS* not hers or mine.) And, sinse one was
a student, she had a very valid reason that she didn't make
a lot of money. She only worked part time. And, like the other
guy said, what comes from the heart means a hell of a lot. The
last lady friend was a hell of a cook. (She just didn't really
like cleaning up the kitchen afterwards(8-). That was okay tho.
I don't mind that much.) We ended up sharing a lot, even our
troubles. Its just too bad her depressive streak got the better
of her, because we couldn't whip it. The other side of her was
a pure joy. I understand there are a lot of people who are like
that. But, like Stella (you know, STella?. Yeh, that one.(8-).)
once said, ummm, something about treating the depressive side
can take the peaks off the manic side...My SO wouldn't go for
that crap.

Well, 'nough of my ramblings lest this get kinda depressing.
Does any of this make any sense to any of you folks?


Regards.
