Number 3 is the same person as number four.

Most of us have had at least one painfully bad relationship experience in our lives. For some, their personality is weak enough that they let it affect them negatively for a long time, perhaps forever.

The rest of us get back up, brush ourselves off, and forget about it. Maybe she'll snap out of it, maybe she won't. Only time will tell.

But now two painful divorces later the bloom has come off the rose. I could not believe it when I saw her last. It had been almost a year since her last divorce and she had changed big time. Gone were the flowing long locks replaced with a manish butch haircut. Gone also was the shapely figure, it was replaced with a boxy build and a mid section that looked like she was pregnant. She had gained almost 60 pounds. But it was her personality that had changed the most. Gone was the fun, flirty sexy girl I knew. It had been replaced by an angry manish figure that never smiled.

We asked her what was happening and her response was she had given up men and sex. And just gave up on all that beauty stuff. Is it permanent, who knows, is it sad, sure is. Bad marriages can kill a woman! Can you relate?
No its not "the bad marriages killing the woman" its her own doing.
Most people have bad relationship experiences. She is a quitter.

Interesting. If you don't actually care enough to get involved and help her, is this just an opportunity to gossip, then?

It's amazing how many people seem to be looking for someone to beat up. I personally don't care what people wear or how they style their hair, that said, I see the malevolent spirit rising to the fore when the conversation turns to Women and their refusal to "play the game". Maybe this person wishes to correct something in her life that had led her to the misery she experienced in her marriage. Being defined by your looks is certainly not something we would wish for ourselves, many beautiful Women have beed deluded into thinking that their beauty was or is an exchange medium, didn't you say she only dated the "best" men? The best men were defined as being "handsome and successful", is that your idea of a caring, loving, helpful person, she obviously saw her mistake in her choices of men, maybe it's time for her friends to see the fallacy in her thinking at that point in her life. "She wanted the good life", maybe she really didn't understand what made for a good life, we can't determine whether she really wanted that materialistic life or that like most Women she was sold a bill of goods that promised happiness as being things you buy. At any of our many twists and turns in life, we can change, and our friends will need to determine for themselves whether we succeeded or failed to be true to our convictions, in time this Women might be able to mitigate the worst of her past with a more realistic outlook on life, be a friend and help her through what appears to be a major change in her life.

You noticed that too I see. It's probably the same person that was dingler, goodtype, politically correct etc.

"The boys are twins and are 11 years old. Her parents and father are dead and no one else in the family wants to take the kids. The unhappy mother knows that the twins would be wounded mentally for life if she disappeared and gave them away, but she knows she is a unfit mother too"-Weekend Traveler

Im lost, I thought the twins father was dead, not divorced? Oh I know, they have a different father than both of the divorcees, right?
