As it is right now, Charles and I may have a relationship that can be transitioned into a friendship, if I let it go on as it is, we could end and not want to be friends.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good wishes :)Diana Crabtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157633578650098780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11192925.post-1166378976714490212006-12-17T12:09:00.000-06:002006-12-17T12:09:00.000-06:00Diana, I just read several of your most recent pos...Diana, I just read several of your most recent posts and can really relate. Though I never had the desire to have children, if I did I would want to stay home with them too. I know how being bipolar can affect career choices--I stuck with one company for over 20 years, which turned out in the end to be a good thing because they had great benefits. But my being bipolar did derail me many times, and probably hindered me from getting further ahead than I did and taking more risks. <BR/><BR/>I also know what it's like to compromise in a relationship. I moved in with my ex-b/f right after college and stayed with him for 20 years. Looking back, there were red flags from the start, but I didn't heed them. We did have some good times, but the fact that the sex (for me) got old quickly was not a good sign. Things went downhill from there, not with a bang, but a whimper.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's great that you know what you want and feel that you must think carefully about your choices. I wish you health, wealth and happiness!elvira blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807259749719715614noreply@blogger.com
