Sean opens the bottle of champagne that bacon was thoughtful enough to
provide, and pours two glasses full.  "Lips that touch wine shall ever
touch mine...", he misquotes, then gathers you into his arms for a long,
passionate, and tender embrace, kissing you deeply...  The warm sun and

it's called "wishful thinking". I'm familiar with it. he doesn't

 Wow!  I thought I was romantic, but this guy blows me away.  Such a lovely
sentiment.  Problem is that, as you said, the world is about as FAR from loving
as it can get without degenerating into endless civil wars.

 "Romance is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."

I wouldn't restrict it to that age range.  Lots of people don't know at
much more advanced ages, or haven't worked out enough of their issues.
Think a *lot* about what you are doing is excellent advice.

Now, what does winning the lottery change?

My wife asks me every year "What shall I get you for Christmas?" and 
this is a difficult question because I already have drawers full of socks, shirts,
ties (which I never wear!), thermal underwear, pj's, etc. So you can see that
I really don't NEED any of these THINGS, and so I don't want any THING for 
Christmas. In this world full of hate, killings, rapes, muggings, robbery, 
movies with a killing a minute,four letter words at every turn, well, what I

John, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see your posts amid
the din that is often found on the net posted by ultra-hypersexed
males.  I hope you continue to post your pearls of wisdom and that
they don't continue to fall on deaf ears.  What you say makes sense
and I haven't read one word of yours that wasn't completely true,
at least from my perspective.

Thank you again, and I wish you and your wife the very best...

        I think that the key words that tripped me off were :
        "He thinks that my concerns are petty."
        If that be the case, there seems to be irreconciable differences.
        I don't feel that what you are feeling is petty at all.
        A woman needs to be treated like a woman, not a man.  These
        things are not petty when dealing with a woman.  And, if a
        woman is concerned with something dealing with expressing
        feelings in a relationship, it is not petty - at least to the
        woman.  If your emotional needs are not being met, get out of
        of the relationship.  If he does not show signs of changing,
        he will not change.  A new year is coming.  It might be time to
        make the break.

	True strength requires flexibility. (Something that both of
you are getting at somewhat anecdotally.)

	If you have a belief in something, and you do not fear to
challenge it, then it is truly strong. Weak beliefs are the ones
that must be held onto with the greatest indiscrimination and
rigidity.

	I believe that this equation of strength with flexibility
holds true regardless of one's sex.
