answer---- Be true to yourself-don't expect something to develop that is not there.
2)Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
answer---leavening my second hubby for peace of mind.Yes I would do it again, needed to finally find out who I was really.
3)How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
--Answer at this time in life friends are where it is at-hate the bar scene unless it is with close friends. love movies but not alone,and at this time of year dinners are few out, and more stay at home with friends over.

1) What is the most important lesson you've learned from a past or previous relationship?
- Not always are things as they seem to be.
2) Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
- Learning to see abuse as it is and not staying in a relationship on based on broken promises. Yes, I made the correct decision but I've learned from my past as well. I don't see it happening again in my future.
3) How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
- I have a 9 year old and what is available in this community is something that doesn't offer me anything but more problems (talking about gambling and bars).
Happy Holidays to you as well

1. Being able to trust, try to stress how important honesty is to her.
2. I wouldn't change anything if it meant that I wouldn't have my 2 beautiful kids.
3. I have a couple friends, Jason and David that we go to the movies.. but if I had a woman, I'd much rather go out with her to the movies.
Overall, I know I could've got to really know my X better before getting married, cause if we would've lived together for 6months to a year... I wouldn't have married her. But my kids are my life, and I wouldn't change nothing and go through it all over again just for them.

cj--i found out movies are ok once your relationship is past a probation period--but you can only watch a movie while talking and getting to know her better at 1st is most important perhaps on a dinner dance--perhaps get that DVD and use that pause and play button on the remote using it to your advantage

1)What is the most important lesson you've learned from a past or previous relationship?
Ive learned to live and let live, not to ever worry if the other is coming home, what they are doing when they are away, just be 2 people in 2 relationship.
2)Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
Didn't make the right choices, can't change it now, would if I could.
3)How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
I normally go out to dinner once a week with a friend or alone, I get together for dinner with groups of family/friends once a month, usually 6 of my 9 sisters, once a month me and a friend Kelly go to Barnes and Noble and read all day and have lunch, movies I always watch in the comfort of my own home or a friend/families house, dancing shooting pool once every 2 weeks with brother Gordy, Date once a week usually, dinner, dancing, mini golf, movie at my place, hiking, casino, etc etc, favorite is to come to my place and make dinner together and then watch stand up on DVD and snuggle.

That nothing in life is meant to be forever and even if i love fairytales they are to say the least hard to come by.
2)Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
Not sure, sometimes i wonder what my life would have been had i dropped the loser when i had a chance , but hey shit happens and you learn from it.

1) What is the most important lesson you've learned from a past or previous relationship?
- I can only be me and can't change them. Either it will work or it won't. When you know in your heart you have done everything possible to make it work then its ok to walk away with a clear conscience.
2) Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
- Deciding to file for divorce. Difficult because I have 3 lives depending on me to do the right thing by them. Made the right decision. Would have done it sooner.
3) How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
- I don't go out during the week. Maybe 1 or 2 times a month because I have 3 kids. Happy Hours mostly with co-workers and 3 of them are my "Charlie's Angels" who have my back no matter what... just a phone call required. Home by 7. My life is so exciting! lol...
Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow, I didn't expect something like this in this forum but I think it's great you are making us exercise our minds!
1)What is the most important lesson you've learned from a past or previous relationship?
I've learned that if you love someone unconditionally you will ignore a lot of what they do until it's too late. By the time you realize they aren't going to change, you feel like you're too old to get out and that you have lost all of your self esteem due to being abused mentally and physically for so many years.
2)Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
This one is easy - and everyone in the widows group knows what my answer will be. This is sort of a two part answer. I made the right choice when I told my husband that I forgave him for everything he had done to me in the last 25 years in order to help make his passing easier. If you'd asked this question two days ago, I would have said that I made the wrong choice but today, I can say it was the right choice because I realized that if the Lord was willing to forgive him for his sins, then who was I to not forgive? And if I forgave him then I needed to forgive myself for lieing to him about the forgiveness. If that doesn't make sense, I'm sorry cause I know what I was trying to say.
3)How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
I live in a county (slightly over 9,000 people) with 6 liquor stores but you can't buy liquor by the drink and with only two restaurants - and they both close at 8:00 p.m. There is absolutely nothing open after 8 and if you go to the next county you can see a movie or maybe bowl a game or two up until 10. So you pretty much have nothing to do.

1. Not to stay in a relationship with unrealistic expectations. Always be true to myself.
2. Joining military at 19 because I was a wild child that was about to be homeless. The military taught me alot and I wouldn't change the experiences and knowledge gained from it.
3. I only go out a few times a week. It is mostly just hanging out with friends at their house. I hang with a small group and we don't really go to the bars or clubs.

#2)..Most significant "fork in the Road"~~definitely getting together with my NOW, ex. i feel I made the right choice and I would do nothing different-Life is about lessons.

1)What is the most important lesson you've learned from a past or previous relationship?
I learned how to deal with the baggage we were both carrying around by unpacking and talking; also learned that when I was unhappy to be patient and it was amazing how often just a few weeks after feeling unhappy for a few days I would feel so incredibly in love and estatic and wonder how I could ever feel happier than I did at that moment . . . very thankful I learned to be patient and have a wait and see attitude toward temporary feelings of unhappiness.
2)Looking back at your life, what has been the most significant "fork in the road"? Do you feel you made the right choice at the time? Would you choose differently now?
Wow, the most significant was chosing to move from Idaho to North Carolina to be with my now x-fiancee but we had eight [mostly] fantastic years together including the most happiness I've ever experienced but I still miss my Idaho mountains. Was it the right decision - I don't know but I don't think I could give up those years together even if I had the opportunity.
Definitely would not undo my marriage to the father of my children as I would not give them up for anything but if I could change it to two one-night stands 17 months apart instead of six years of hell I would jump on that option in a heartbeat.
3)How often do you go out during the week and what sort of things do you like to do? Dinners? Movies? Drinks? Something else together? Do you normally go out large groups or with just a few friends?
Seldom - two teenage daughters who do not yet drive and a demanding career. My folks moved here to be closer with us so I try to have dinner with them (their house or mine) at least once a week and play cards with them; get together with friends about once a month . . . usually just a few friends. Sometimes we all go camping together.
