Re: Oh great, the L word
"I want you guys to know. I'm dating Michelle Obama. She had a rough past. She made some mistakes. She did some porn. I'm telling you this because I respect you enough to tell you myself rather than have you hear it from someone on the street. I don't want you to treat her like a second class citizen because of this. If you can't treat her with a little respect and dignity because she made a mistake in her past that's public and out there and can't be hidden like some, then we're going to have a problem. I really like her and if you give her a chance, I think you will too. I hope you understand I've wrestled myself with the issue, it's something that has made me doubt the relationship. And after a lot of soul-searching I've decided that I really like her, enough in fact that I'm willing to look right beyond what she did in the past and accept her for who she is now, and what she's working to be in the future, which I think is something pretty special."

Re: Oh great, the L word
I like this but made a subtle change. I prefer the term "choices" rather than "mistakes"...unless she feels that they were mistakes.33anda3rd wrote:"I want you guys to know.

Re: Oh great, the L word
I don't think it matters how you word it, the point needs to be made. And, before that point is made, you better be pretty sure this is going somewhere, like a lifelong commitment that will last, if you're going to start telling your family if they don't approve of someone that there'll be problems.

You only live once Dreamer, if you enjoy your time with her, keep seeing her. If your family has a problem with you being happy, it is up to them to deal with it, you have to make you happy.

Well that's a good point. I think I'm a long way from this being a lifelong commitment.AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote:I don't think it matters how you word it, the point needs to be made.

She does make me happy. She's a real sweet heart. I took on a big project so I was out in the shop all day. I told her I wouldn't get done until about dark so if she wanted to hang out it would be later. So as a bit of a surprise she brought me dinner at the shop. It's stuff like that she does that makes me really like her. She certainly didn't have to do anything like that, but she just did it as a surprise.wart57 wrote:You only live once Dreamer, if you enjoy your time with her, keep seeing her.

Sounds like a great gal, things happen in peoples lives, it is how they deal with them and move on that defines them.IMADreamer wrote:Well that's a good point.

Good luck, I wish you the best.

I am not saying you should get married and be together forever before telling your family. I would just not tell my family they couldn't have opinions/feelings that disagree with mine or else there would be problems. Sounds like your family is important to you and you to them. And, that's great. That's a great, great thing to have...a loving and caring family. And it comes because of vast amounts of time spent together, raising you, and they want what is best for you and vice versa. So, to say, ultimately, if they disagree with you that you'll disassociate yourself from them (or whatever the 'problem' would result in) is a very serious thing. And, that seriousness should not be ignored or overlooked.

The photos look about how you'd expect a 100 pound woman would look after a 200 pound mixed martial artist beat her up. What a piece of [expletive] that guy is.
