honestly, Altho I loved the idea of til death do us part, and one love forever and ever, maybe its just unrealistic... worked in romance novels, and old black and white movies.. but in real life, not so much

I think people tend to grow and change, not always together.. just a matter of deciding whether or not the changes can be accepted by one another.. I couldnt accept my STBX's and he couldnt accept mine. .. eventually it just imploded I guess

    Anyone else ever had their occipital nerve swell at the back of their head?!I had about 2 weeks of insane pain originating from the base of my skull on the left (not a new pain, just new intensity, persistence and constancy) that then travels up my skull towards my forehead and along the back of my ear.Well, week before last I touched my head one night and realized there was a raised lump there...
