He lived close to me

I stalked him until we had a date hahahaha

We got married when I was 20 and he 24

We ended up being like brother and sister

He was a Libra...not passionate enough for me

He ran off with my best friend and married her......

What did I learn?

Mmmmm....not to trust women with yer man

Not to get involved with a man that was cold and undersexed....

Not to get involved with a man that was a mummys boy

And more,,,,,if I think about it!

He ran off with your best friend? My god I'd be in therapy for years...geez.

If you have a water heavy chart like me (you have a lot of scorp, influences, right?) then you KNOW you're better off without a wimpy, wishy-washy libra man. (Sorry to libra guys out there, just not my type in the romance department, personally).

You are married now, right? What is your husband's sign if you don't mind my asking?

Do you still talk with your first husband or your former best friend?

I was 22

How did you meet?

We were in the same college both pursuing PG. For more than 1.5 yrs we didnt see each other eventhough we were in the same college.
One day I was having breakfast in the college canteen. I usually have it in hostel. I was with one of my classmates.
She said I should seriously find a guy to overcome my loneliness.
I said if anyone is ready to buy me ice cream everyday i am ready to fall in love, for I need a reason to look forward in the relationship We were laughing over that when this guy entered the hall. He was very tall and handsome.
With the same smile, I looked at him.
He was puzzled to see a stranger gal smiling at him, but amused I guess.
He took a near table and ate very slowly, looking at me all the time.
He was sitting near to the window and my friend's boyfriend was about to come any time. So we kinda always looking through the window gave him the feeling that I was looking at him
Finally when my friend's BF arrived this guy greeted him. It turned out that they were in the same hostel and I got his name.

I think that day I had a long breakfast of 2 hrs

What was it like?

Love at first sight. I used to laugh at the concept before. He had such an impact on me that next day also I went to the same place at the same time.

What did you learn from it?

I learnt that physical attraction is not enough for a successful relationship. That without empathy, no relationship will remain.
We both did the same mistake. I started the relationship thinking I can change him into more receiving person. He thought he can change me into an organised person. I was lost in the relationship for a while but wanted to rediscover myself. But he was not ready to accept the real me. We couldnt strike a middle path. Moreover, except the sexual part we didnt really love eachother enough to work on the relationship. By the way he was an Aries

Are you still in touch with that person?

Very heart-warming about how you first met...very cute. Love at first sight IS real, I totally agree.

posted March 13, 2006 04:51 AM         

That is a hard question to answer because real relationships make you feel important but to me love is about devotion and time,

posted March 13, 2006 06:01 AM         

Okay, the fact that I had wished him to meet someone else, as I was wanting out of the boring old marriage, still hit me hard that it was my BEST FRIEND....hahaha....

Therapy....oh yeah.....I went thro that for a while !

No I dont speak to him now or her.....I hated them for years and now I just realise what a pair of wishy washy wimps they were.....they are good for each other !!

Yeah I am very SCorpio.....errrmmmm...as you can probably tell !!

I got married to an Aqua after that.......a bit of a disaster and now I am third time lucky to a Virgo with Sag rising and Moon in Aqua.....(its a very challenging relationship but not boring or wishy washy and not destructive as was with the Aqua). Jeez I cant believe I survived all of this !!

Me and my present man aint that compatible at times, but we have strong strong love and we have been together for 17 years..... I drive him crazy, he drives me crazy !!!

He says its like living with 100 women and living with me for 17 years would be like living with another for 170 years.....very intense and on the edge....

Okay, ask away if theres anything you wanna know about my colourful and challenging life....

P H E W !!!!!

School

A big, hankering ball and chain with no progression at all

Never stay in a situation out of convenience

posted March 13, 2006 12:35 PM         

We went to the same High School

We were both immature Gems and it was a disaster

Learned that if I ever dated a Gem male again in this life, he'd have to be very mature and evolved.

Haven't seen him in years

I was 21.

How did you meet?

We met at a goth club. We both admired eachother for weeks before he finally got up the courage to talk to me.

What was it like?

It was pure magic. I was certain I'd found my "one," my prince. I thought I'd found the kind of love that would last forever. And I had found that kind of love, it just didn't last in it's orriginal form. He's still one of my best friends although we no longer share a romantic relationship.

What did you learn from it?

I grew up, I learned that love is not a fairy tale, that it takes work, but it's still so incredibley beautiful and precious. I also learned a bit more about what I want in relationships.

Are you still in touch with that person?

posted March 14, 2006 03:31 PM         

I'm a Cancer sun / Taurus moon / Gemini Venus / Taurus Mars and he was a Virgo sun / Scorpio Moon / Libra Venus / Taurus Mars. Astrologically we were very compatible, and we spent seven years trying to make things work. Linda really had it right when she described Virgo / Cancer pairs in Love Signs. She talked about a couple that spent years separating and getting back together. My Virgo and I probably broke up 20+ times but always found our way back to one another until I finally grew weary of being left and closed the door firmly behind him the last time he walked out. We'll always be the dearest of friends but that I'll never open up that door for him again. It took me years to find someone that could quicken my heart like him though. Seriously, once you’ve known a love like that it’s hard to find something to replace it. I’ve finally found it in a Cancer sun / Taurus moon / Leo Venus / Cancer Mars. He’s quickened my heart and shown me that it’s possible to love someone not only as much as I loved that Virgo but more.

I'm glad you found an incredible love after what must have been years of crazy ups and down with your virgo!

posted March 15, 2006 01:27 AM         

I was 20 and he was 22. He was a Pisces Sun, Taurus Moon with Virgo Rising. I am an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon with Cancer Rising.

How did you meet?

We were both working for the same company. He asked me out to lunch one day and then we just stayed together for nearly 3 years.

What was it like?

Honestly, it had its ups and downs. I stayed mostly because of convenience.

What did you learn from it?

To always follow my intuition and do what is in my best interests.

Are you still in touch with that person?

How did you meet?
Through a mutual friend who worked at the local theater.

What was it like?
Like meeting an old friend -- we just clicked very fast.

What did you learn from it?
That sometimes you can love someone with all your heart and all your soul and still have to say goodbye.

1) 16, he's a Virgo
2) we met when we were 6 in church. he made me cry because he wouldn't let me "explore" the church school with him. we met again when were were 16. we were in an afterschool club together, and started going out because our group encouraged it.
3) At first, being together was great because I received a different perspective from him and we would talk about everything.

Initially, there was this great spark which then turned into this inferno of hate. In the end, we couldn't talk about anything without getting into debate and there were no comprimises. One of us always had to win. We never figured out who would win, however, because we would just keep fighting. I suppose its because his moon squared my moon and his sun/mercury squared my mercury.

We dated on and off for six months in the end. Once it was truly over, he started telling me that he had lied when he said that he loved me and that he only said that because he was hoping that it would be true in the end. It never was, and never will be. I will never give him another chance ever again.
4) I learned that I shouldn't listen to others when it comes to matters of my OWN heart. I should trust my own intuition. A little white lie is still a lie. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.

5) I see this guy EVERYDAY at school because have the same close set of friends.

Guy #2
1) He's a Scorpio. It wasn't "serious" back then, but it was my first romance aka "Puppy Love".
2) We were 8 in the 3rd Grade when we met the first time. Instantly, we were in competition for everything, lol. He would do a cool science project, I'd plan mine so it would be cooler. I'd write a 2 paragraph essay, he'd write 3. I'd memorize half my multiplication table in a week, he's memorize the whole thing in 4 days. He'd pick on me and call me Wednesday (I had long black hair and always wore them in braids. I was also a pasty, scrawny little tyke then too) I'd laugh back at him because he looked like the kid from HOME ALONE.

We'd play playground games, and in the end it was always me/my team against him/his team. On the last day of school, he signed my yearbook with his phone number and address so I can come over and play. I lost my yearbook and never called him. The next school year we went to different schools. We had only knew each other for 9 months. And I liked his A LOT the whole time..

We met again this year, just this semester in Journalism class. After a month, he finally said something to me. I walked into class, and we were the only ones in there. I was irritated and he looked up at me and asked me what was wrong. I said "Nothing" and he looked back down at some homework he was doing. My other friend walked in and asked me why I seemed so angry. I started complaining outloud and then I apologized to her for being so bitchy. I then apologized to him because I felt bad for being kind of rude. I think the convo went like this:

Me: [short explanation of melodramatic day] I'm sorry if I was kinda rude... guy whose working hard on his homework so he probably doesn't care about what I just said...
Him: I was in your 3rd grade class.
Me: What?
Him: My name is ****. Thought I should tell you. And I was in your 3rd grade class...
Me: [silently thinking] OH MY GOD! It's you! [jumps on chair] I totally remember you!
Him: [smiles] Ok..

That was pretty much it. We talked in class, and he did this weird thing for awhile: he would question every detail of what I said to see if I was lying/exaggerating/correct. I'd prove that I wasn't lying or anything every single time, but I still think it was kinda weird that he was.. i dunno.. "testing me" I guess. Weird Scorpio...

Anyways, we walk and talk in the hallway together now. Mostly walk. I mention something, ask a not-yes-or-no answer question usually, and he'd respond. And then not say anything... just keeps walking... and then we'd reach the part of the hallway that he seperate and he'll say: talk to you later. "Okay...(me thinking:not like we ever talk).....bye."

3) I learned that no matter how many times you are seperated, a loved one is always in your heart. Although, I can't really say he's a "loved one". Love's a strong word to use with a guy who barely talks to me...

And hasn't asked me to Prom yet....

Alot of people say I'm being impatient. But once you think about it, I've been waiting for 9 years!

So, I suppose the lesson to be learned here is that.... "With love and patience, nothing is impossible"

Hmmm.. I like that quote..

how did we meet?
My younger brother introduced us.

what was it like?
Well gez lol she was the one that pushed every button, but always was the one that walked in when every one else walked out, happy times, sad times, aww REALLY angry times, lonely times especially after an arguement that use to irate me heaps.. lol is this going any where im not sure
*Opps gaining my composure again"

What did i learn?
if you going to put your heart out there on the line expect to get hurt but learn from it " i think" not to sure about that one yet..i think i'm still making the same mistake over and over again lol but getting there

Am i still in touch with this person?
yeah strangley enough we have a 2yr old daughter togeather, it was hard seeing her though but i had to not see her for about a month after we broke up-
As to set up bounderias as the relationship was over, and did'nt want any mixed messages or the idea that there would still be a chance of reconcilling the relationship we both left the relationship on a mutual agreement.

Had 2 beautiful kids and stayed together for 7 years. Miserable for 5 of them.

I learned not to rush into things because they are exciting. This guy adored me although I didn't stop to ask if he actually knew me.
I also learned that children can have two stable, loving parents in their life even if they don't live together. Actually its probably because we don't live together!
