They agree that they have both decided.
They can agree to move in together next month.
They can decide to move in together next month.

Problems crop up when one partner decides to 
move in with a LO and the LO does not agree.

Agreement implies a joint decision, NO?

The breakup of a significant relationship is very similar to the death of a loved
one. If you look at the psychological research in both areas, you will find that
people need to go through the same stages of mourning: denial, anger, depression,
and resolution. Everyone goes through these stages, but at very different speeds.
If you jump into another relation prematurely, you will put this mourning process
on "hold", only to reappear sometime later. That's why getting involved with someone
"on the rebound" so so often a big mistake. 

In addition, ending a relationship and being alone is the perfect time to reflect on
what went wrong. Invariably in any breakup, both sides share responsibility, and
except for extreme cases (like axe murderers) it is useful to assume that each
side was 50% responsible. This is the perfect time to understand what you did/did not
do, so that the same problems will not be repeated in your next relationship.

Finally, it is important for you to learn to be comfortable being alone. It's
hard at first, but until you are comfortable with yourself, being by yourself, you
are not ready for another relationship. If you get involved with someone else in
order to placate that lonely feeling, you are apt to be emotionally dependent on
your new SO to a unhealthy degree. There's a world of difference between mutual
caring and emotional dependence. By the same token, this is not the time to be
isolated. By all means get more involved with family and friends, making them
into as big a support group as you can handle.

\hh

p.s. This combination of theoretical and real-world advice is coming from someone
trained as a psychologist and who, after 23 years of marriage and a couple of kids,
is going through a divorce and living a lone for the first time in a long, long time.

Exactly!  Of course, thats only 50c per American, much less than we
spent saving the S&L crooks.  (I think we should collect all the
directors of reckless thrifts, and sell tickets to their stonings.  We
could probably raise quite a lot of money toward bailing out the
investors.  Or maybe we could charge 50c to stick em with a pin, that
way they would last a lot longer as a source of revenue.)

On the subject of communicating with your soulmate, I think it is just as  
important to be able to feel confortable with each other even when you  
find yourselves in a "lull" in the conversation; You cannot fill every  
minute with conversation (well, maybe some can), no matter how  
compatible, and if you don't enjoy the "quiet" moments, also, I think you  
find yourself wanting the proberbial "more".

Mark,  I think you're worrying too much and that is exactly your
problem.  Sex drive is mostly a state of mind.  I think you're probably
so worried about not performing that you *can't* perform as well as you
want to.  Just relax and don't worry about it.  Most male problems are
anxiety-related.

Hey - I wish I was in your shoes - I'm the same age and I'd love to
have a lady like yours!!  Maybe another thing that could be a problem
is what you are doing in sex - not to get too personal, but how about
less actual intercourse and more foreplay and variations?  You can go a
long way to satisfying her needs without taking of your trousers, you
know ;-)

Again - stop worrying about it, take it easy, lie back and enjoy it :-)
