 <title>Ending Relationships etc.</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/12283#comment-14535</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, I have had quite the experiences with relationships and how they affect your day to day life.  I live in a close knit apartment building and many people here choose to date other tenants; the inevitable happens one breaks up and then moves on to another he/she relationship causing endless emotional situations to arise... so far I have had 3 such relationships in 16 years of living here and each time I learn a valued lesson about myself and the people here.  The best advice I can say is that when another woman wants to date an EX let her maybe it will work out... or like all those dated my EX they&#039;ll becoming more understanding of your decision to WALK... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This has come about time after time .... my EX-FIANCE has dated my closest pal/ her closest pal/ and NOW her closest pal.... I saw the results of this screwed up connections first hand this past SATURday morning at 4am A woman in her 60&#039;s ready to rip out her hair...&lt;br /&gt;
So if there any of the gals her that recognize this name JOHN BLACK just keep walking and realize that your worth more than anything offered to you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As to my current status single I think and very confused&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Relationships:  Beginning, Middle, End</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/12283</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Reading sex &amp;amp; relationship blogs, one thing that often strikes me is how different posts capture the different stages of love and relationships.&amp;nbsp; For the beginning, or perhaps pre-beginning, &lt;a href=&quot;http://charmingbutsingle.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Charming, But Single&lt;/a&gt; writes about &lt;a href=&quot;http://charmingbutsingle.blogspot.com/2006/11/couple-season.html&quot;&gt;Couple Season&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;I won&#039;t have a date for Christmas parties. Or New Year&#039;s Eve. And I often wonder if the joke about men not looking for a relationship between now and Valentine&#039;s Day holds true.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the middle, a thought-provoking and difficult post from Kyra at &lt;a href=&quot;http://homeatheart.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;Home at Heart&lt;/a&gt; entitled &lt;a href=&quot;http://homeatheart.blogspot.com/2006/10/home.html&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;I guess what started it is my niece. We have a long history--too long&lt;br /&gt;
to detail here. Just suffice it to say that she has a special place in&lt;br /&gt;
our hearts. And while her home is not a. . .&lt;em&gt;bad&lt;/em&gt; one, it&#039;s not&lt;br /&gt;
the best place for her. I spent this summer in Michigan while J&lt;br /&gt;
attended another school, and Kendall and I became even closer than&lt;br /&gt;
before. And I want her to come live with us.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Alissa at &lt;a href=&quot;http://alissaclare.typepad.com/the_exciting_life_of_acs/&quot;&gt;I Found a Fatal Flaw in the Logic of Love&lt;/a&gt; calls her post &lt;a href=&quot;http://alissaclare.typepad.com/the_exciting_life_of_acs/2006/10/full.html&quot;&gt;Full&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;The other day I was thinking about how hard it is when relationships&lt;br /&gt;
end.&amp;nbsp; Not just in the sense that something has inevitably happened to&lt;br /&gt;
cause a close, intimate relationship with someone to end, but in the&lt;br /&gt;
way that it can change your entire world and everything you thought was&lt;br /&gt;
true of yourself.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&#039;s comfort to be found, I think, in the reading of the journey and where each of us find ourselves.&amp;nbsp; And what we see what we look around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contributing editor Liz Rizzo also blogs at &lt;a href=&quot;http://everydaygoddess.typepad.com/&quot;&gt;Everyday Goddess&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://sexysmart.typepad.com/&quot;&gt;the SexySmart Blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
