If you know you need to separate then sex will only complicate that. Not much else I can say that hasn’t already been said! Good luck though… I cannot imagine living with someone I loved so deeply and not being able to be with him. ---

Canvas shoes - sorry I have to agree with everyone else. I’d kind of make myself scarce. You can still be “friends” but develop your own interests and your own life. Give him a chance to miss you. ---

Finding someone who is your perfect match - intellectually, emotionally, sexually…but having completely different tempraments…“everything” is perfect, we just can’t get along. THAT sucks. ---

That would suck mipiace! I was pretty out there in the beginning myself (I had lots of temper issues) but over the years my hubby and I have melded into the sickening couple who makes everyone else vomit 🙂 ---

Well, I think you’re all right. And I liked what **Davebear** said about me realizing that the separation had to take place, but that I don’t feel as if it’s right. And of course he’s right about the wreck I’d feel afterwards. Argh, I wish that I could wrap things up and get out of here NOW. And **Honey** of COURSE you’re not butting in!!! ---

**Branwen** I decided your bro is too young for me lol… and as I’m not into girls, thanks but no thanks **Tanookie** 😛 **Canvas** , I just thought it’s how I’d feel if I was in that situation… partly you think you could handle it, but I think the emotions and feelings and your past and your hurt at why its not happening or working would all just flood in and you’d be ten times more hurt than you are now … and I, for one, would HATE to see that happen hon ☹ {{{{{{{{{ **Canvas** }}}}}}}}}}}}}} ---

There ain’t any, in my jukebox. 😛 _Ambles over to the jukebox, and punches up Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville_ Yes, I know. But, it was getting depressing, in here. ---

I thought the SnS pub was a livelier place than that dave… I mean really… I like Jimmy Buffet but he’s hardly what I’d expect on the juke box around HERE 🙂 _snaps her fingers and the jukebox kicks into high gear_ Lets try a little NIN shall we? followed by a bit of metallica for MetalDude. Some Cake for the ladies and some Floyd just because 🙂 ---

Can I play some Robert Earl Keen? The road goes on forever, and the party never ends… (Yee-Haw!) ---

Okay, _Margaritaville_ **is** a little mellow. But, it was 7:30 in the morning, for cryin’ out loud! Hey, **Dolores**! You’re getting to be a regular, here. 🙂 But, I have to admit, I don’t even know who Robert Earl Keen is. ---

Wow … that’s just a little harsh there… maybe a bit less caffiene? I mean really… it isn’t like I asked for barry manilow! ---

It’s not the caffeine. It’s the messing with my jukebox.
