Oh my gosh! I felt your inner pain ... and I apologize for the fact that when I got to the part about setting your hair on fire, I laughed. I'm so glad you weren't hurt, and hair grows back. Perhaps a new hair-do would not only rectify the situation 
There is no such thing as a legal separation in my state..The only way I can get husband out of the house is to force him out..He refuses to leave..I would have to file for divorce and get temporary orders including a restraining order..
I feel so
doggiediva - I live in Florida which is a no fault divorce state. Everything that was accumulated during a marriage has to be divvied up 50/50. Unfortunately, he has nothing but the house to offer you. Because of your health situation he may not be e
I have tried being obnoxious and very hard to live with in hopes of getting him out of the house and my hair, but that didn't work, lol..
I didn't need a key logger, husband accidentally left his browser open one day before leaving the house..I printed out all of the e-mails and kept them in a safe place..I showed these e-mails to 2 of the 5 lawyers I consulted..Both said that they w
I haven’t gotten that close to any man; after 8 years on the sites……I am done
I think every woman and man who dates, at every age, should be aware of the possibility and have a conversation about it. My last steady man had genital herpes. He told me up front and we talked about it and took precautions. I had a baseline test at that point and researched herpes to make sure I could protect myself. And, I did. We dated for about 2 years and I am herpes-free.
The next man I saw asked me to get tested for STDs and shared his results with me!! He was 68, I was 57. He’s been one of the few men I’ve met who offered the testing first.
So, yes. Testing is easy now days and can even be done through online testing services where you go to a lab and have them send in the results.
I talk to my Dr. about my sexual activities and get tested each time I get ready to enter into a new relationship. And, I expect “him” to do the same. I also have condoms on hand.
Thank you! someone with some common sense about STDs. I have G.Herpes and the last guy I dated was “terrified” of getting it. He refused to use a condom. The whole thing shot my confidence level to 0. I had to re-evaluate who I am and the whole dating thing. I’ve come to the conclusion that I will not be defined by an STD. There are intelligent, mature people out there that will find me worth loving even with this. This just might weed out the men that aren’t worth dating! I’m just not sure at what point to give up the information. Seems to premature to talk about it at the beginning of dating someone.
good for you. Once I got the facts on genital herpes I felt able to deal with it–my Dr. was wonderful about giving me the details I needed. I agree that it could be a good screening tool. I think I’d wait for a couple of dates before sharing. And, then be prepared to offer some details and maybe even a link to a good website where he could learn about about it in an informed, matter of fact way. I seem to recall blogging about when to share details about it at some point.
As for condoms, I know guys think it spoils the whole experience but they’re just wrong. You can still indulge in play, you can put it on him in a sexy way and the newer, thinner condoms don’t block sensation as much. And, if he doesn’t want to take the time to please you and protect both of you—then he’s not worth your effort.
i am back in the dating game. There are condoms for oral sex as well. Try SKYN lifestyles made of polysoprene material, in a gold package, non-latex. it is so thin he does not even know he has it on. the man in the sex shop uses it and sold it to me and he states it was sooo thin, and it is only for oral sex on a man, and not for intercourse!.no taste for the woman. and you can use any flavored lubricant on top of it and then it is really nice, such as JO H20 tropical passion or your choice of many. the man will not object at all.
If you go to a sex shop and get served by a man, he will sell you the best condom for intercourse as well, that does not distract from feeling. No man should put up such a fuss and refuse sex because he does not want to wear a condom!
