THC, I'm serious. Every time somebody posts about something going on in their life, you find it necessary to hijack that conversation by changing the subject to your situation instead of talking about theirs. It's one thing to bring up similar experiences on the side to back up a point, it's another entirely to shift the conversation towards you. It's getting old, and I know I'm not the only one who's feeling this. If you could go ten posts without hijacking someone's conversation, that'd be great.

I was just looking through some topics and I noticed that many people are also doing this constantly, yet I'm the one who was called out on it. I'm aware that I am doing it now, which is why I'm about to say

On topic: It's probably not that good of an idea to avoid her, cash. You definitely should try to get your thoughts straight and also probably have a conversation with her. I know I probably won't have much of an influence in what you do, but if you still insist on avoiding her for a week, it's probably best to at least tell her first so that she doesn't think you hate her. Not like, "Hey, I was told I should avoid you for a week because I need to get my thoughts straight about you." More like, "Hey, there's been a lot going on lately and I think I just need to be by myself for week." Or something to that effect.

eyhhhhh I'd disagree with that one. Sometimes forcing yourself to take some time off the other person will help you move on (if you so desire) or at least get a new perspective on things. I think this is a case where it's a good idea.

I'll third what Ampharos and Altissimo said.

I did say that if he was going to do it, he should tell her first. He should do what he feels is best. It's up to him and it seems like he already made his decision.

I don't really know, I mean, I haven't been having any problems with her ever since I started thinking about her in a "romantic" way. I do know that if I try to do anything, I'm going to screw it up. I've been trying to tell myself to think of her as a friend, and that only worked for a week or two. It seems like, for me, that not thinking of her in the way I feel about her makes my feelings for her stronger. Based on that logic, if I thought about her romantically (and still didn't take any action accordingly as I've been doing), then maybe it'll die out and problem solved. I don't think that'll work, but it's just an idea. The things you guys are telling me to do make sense, but when I think deeper into it, I feel like I've already explored those options and haven't gotten the desired result. I think I'd rather not have a war in my brain, tearing me apart, because whether or not I see her as a friend or as a person I love seems to greatly affect the way I act, think, and perceive things. You guys can go ahead and tell me I'm wrong, but I'm stubborn, you're not going to change my mind at this point.

Can't argue with that. Good stuff

I've had multiple people tell me different statistics, and I'm not sure how reliable the web is on this: What's the REAL percentages of couples that marry and divorce across the world?

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

I'm not sure how reliable the web is on this

What do you think this Is? Your neighbor's barbeque? We are probably less likely to be correct about this than some site on the web. Watcha gotta do is look for this stuff on the web and try to find some sort of reoccuring data. While it may not be 100% accurate, it is still more likely to be than one site or us.

Over half of all marriages end in divorce is the statistic I've heard most

[cashwarrior1]

That's why you should never marry until marriage.

[AmpharosAndy]

Cash with the official motto of this thread XD

[LeviR.star]

Over half of all marriages end in divorce is the statistic I've heard most

That's actually very scary.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

That's actually very scary.

Not really. Most of those marriages happened from being drunk or contain an abusive partner and a partner with Stockholm syndrome that eventually realized to leave the other.

More of an educated guess than actual statistics. It's very possible (and likely) that I'm wrong, but I do have reasoning behind it. Therefore an educated guess.
