Re: Pic of C in the designer jeans I bought him: be jealous ladies!
I can't even explain the jealousness that is going on in my head right now.
Forgive me... I haven't gotten any since I was impregnated.
Oh, you biitch! lol
You are one lucky girl!

Ditto to what Erin said.
I think the right thing to do ann marie is for you to share C, with all of us. K? deal
BGG-He texted me the pic so I could see him in the jeans I bought him. I bought them yesterday, then we met at the gym to workout and I just gave him the jeans in the parking lot. So when he got home he tried them on and texted me the pic. This made me laugh because you sounded suspicious and it reminded me of when SD used to take pics of himself like that (only w/ his face showing) on his phone. I remember finding them and thinking "I have never seen those before, who did he send those to??"
mrgn-we just got back from the lake for four days so that's why he is so tan!
What makes you say that?
I value you ladies opinions for sure, so I guess I am curious about why you made that comment.
I, personally, don't think I am moving too fast. We don't see eachother every night, he has had minimal contact with P, and the only reason I got those jeans for him was because he is coming with me to my class reunion dinner on Saturday and he wanted a nice pair. He also paid me back.
Can we clarify? Buying an article of clothing for someone--in which they pay you back-- is moving too fast?
Sh!t. I bet those cookies I made for D after we had only been dating for two months were too fast as well. And the sex toys... Which, oddly enough were both for Valentine's Day. Anyways.
Tifanico-- I guess because I am moderately in the same spot as achase, I understand where she is coming from. I have said it before, and I will say it again, I don't think you can truely be invested into a relationship if you are only giving 75%. I am a type of person, and from what I know of achase she is similar, that pulls their whole heart into a relationship. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved before, eh? I think when you only commit yourself less than 100% into a relationship-- if it fails, then you have all the "what ifs" and "I could have dones" because you know in your heart you didn't give it your all.
:::shrug:::
I don't think that going on a vacation with your new SO is moving too fast. (Was it with or without P? Doesn't really matter.) I think going away on a vacation gives you new surroundings to allow yourself to really get to know your significant other. Another opportunity to show if they are the person that you really want to continue to date. Are they the same person around other friends? Do the bode well under stress? What is my role in his life?
Even if P came along, I think it is another great opportunity for A to know whether C is good around P. Doesn't mean C has to be a father figure-- by no means. I know that isn't what A is looking for from a relationship at this point-- by why would you not consider it if it was someone serious? I know I do with D. Will D ever be L's dad? No. He won't. As our relationship continues and grows, he will begin to play more of an active role.
Just because two people date--one having children-- doesn't mean that the child has to see these people in a "romantic" relationship. My best friend spends more time with L than D does. L really has ever seen D and me have physical contact with each other.
Achase- DAYUM!
Well helllllloooooo!
And the pic on FB where he's getting stuff out of the back of the car....super hot!
I know you weren't trying to be snarky, and I sincerely appreciate the concern. We did go on the houseboat with his kids and P, but my entire family was also there. And he and I did have an overnight trip last weekend for one night.
I think that you can never be sure what will come of something until you just give it a try. I don't feel like I am trying to push things with him by any means and I think that the relationship is and will take a natural progression.
It's always difficult with kids, knowing when to introduce them to your SO, knowing how much exposure they should have with them, etc. I don't want a father figure for P, right now. That being said, if the right guy (maybe it's C, maybe it's not) were to come along, I would hope that he would love P like his own. I am really sensitive to this because P doesn't really have a father, and perhaps he never will. I don't want him getting attached to someone just to have the relationship end so I am very paranoid about this.
Tifanico--- I agree with you that taking trips with someone so soon after beginning to date is moving a little fast. It's not really my style either. I was also giving the side eye about the jeans thing until she clarified that he paid her back for them. (I just had a bad experience w/ being used for money and gifts. Ex never had a job and I bought EVERYTHING. So yeah, it kind of raised my red flag at first.)
Achase--- I'm glad you're having fun with him... he has a niiice bod
I have to admit I thought the same thing as tifanico. Of course we don't know the whole situation, but I remember a recent post where mrgn was basically told (by several people) that she shouldn't be bringing her SO around LO at all, and if I recall correctly she has been with him for several months. This was a four day family vacation with someone achase has been with for a much shorter period, right?
Too fast, too slow.... we are adults and we get to make choices based on what we think is best. Sometimes I feel like the input about other people's choices going a way YOU wouldn't choose for yourself is a little irritating. I realize the comments were out of concern for achase... but she is happy. And maybe in two weeks they will break up (hopefully not, just saying) and she will be an emotional wreck looking for support. If she'd asked if you thought she were going too fast, or what you would be doing if you were in her situation, it might be different. But maybe I am the type to only "help" if someone wants to be "helped," or if something detrimental could possibly happen.
Achase, I think you're doing what's right for you. I think that's wonderful. The super jacked thing isn't my cup o tea, but he CERTAINLY takes care of himself which is a hugely respectable quality. Also, he can clearly throw you around (when the time is right). Have fun and I hope things work out the way you want them to with this guy!
Meh, wasn't me singing that tune as I have been with my SO for 8 months, and we have went to more of SO's family functions (with child) than I can count. His parents, and brother and SIL, both got L an easter basket. Damn them for moving so soon and accepting my child so quickly.
Let me say three things:
1) That is indeed a very nice body.
2) I do not know him.
3) I am an old prude. Modesty matters to me, so a guy/girl texting suggestive shirtless pics to me screams 'player.' He clearly thinks very highly of himself and my concern is that nothing may compete with how wonderful he feels about himself. Does this mean my concern is well-founded - certainly not. But Achase is too fabulous to be dating anyone who thinks more of themselves than they do of her.
