Hi, I posted a second ago. That earlier chat must have gotten my mind going. Came home - lifted weights, jump roped, now calm. [ Reply | More

Met her at one of the CPA courses you have to take every year to maintain your license. In fact, we started as friends because we found out we had mutual acquaintances. Then one thing led to another and we started dating. She is very intelligent and you can take her anywhere. About 1 1/2 years into it we started talking about getting married (she had been married briefly with no kids). This is where differences came out. I would want to do something like go to a baseball game with friends I have known for years and she would make a huge deal about it. Or I would be concerned about my daughter's homework and she did not have the patience for it. Finally I said to her, sorry but this is not how it should be. We were never engaged and I did not live with her. It then took a few months to wind it down. [ Reply | More

For me, I think it is hard to be with someone who does not have dcs -- there is just no way to understand. Also, it is so obvious that now relationships need to be very flexible -- you really need the right mindset. Just take things as they come, dont really worry about anything [ Reply | More

I cared deeply for her but not really near the first love or ex-wife when I first was married. When you are in love, you feel like everything in the world is going your way, and she wsa too intense in a not-so-great way. [ Reply | More

You know, I think I was like your first gf. My first real bf was in law school and I have only realized now how special he was and how in love I was -- I went to London and came back and just wasn't ready for real life and got scared and we went our separate ways. Because I wasn' t ready, it would not have worked, but in retrospect. I think he was my great love. [ Reply | More

Too many similarities here, except for me it was LA, for you, London. I do not know what I would think if I saw her somewhere. Why did you get an economics degree? [ Reply | More

More than economics, it was more wanting to go to the LSE -- I had wanted to go there for a long time and once I started practicing law, it would have been impossible. It was really great, but I only know now what I lost. [ Reply | More

It is funny -- I also think about seeing him. But strangely, I don't have painful regrets, more intellectual, even though I know it sounds different. I woudl imagine we are very different people now [ Reply | More

I do know what happened to him -- I was hit over the head with it because his marriage announcement was in the big box in the NYT, so I unfortunately got the whole story from that. The funny thing is, in the article, the day that my former boyfriend said he met his fiance was teh exact day I got engaged to my now ex-husband. [ Reply | More

No. It was incredibly fun being with him and I was very happy until our dbs came and he really changed. But love? No. And it is funny you put match guy in there -- he reminds me so much of my former bf -- strongest feelings I think I have ever had for someone [ Reply | More

Match guy -- it is this whole body feeling never had before. Don;t know if it is my circumstances, but hard to concentrate at owrk, always thinking about him, etc. Former bf -- too remote, we were together for four years, so don't recall the initial feelings. Just remember us being great together in every way [ Reply | More

Let me tell you a story about that. My father was Jewish and my mother is Catholic. As the kids growing up never considered me Jewish, and I understand the reason, I felt ostracized and never explored Judaism. On the other hand my sister "looks" Jewish and is very culturally Jewish. I celebrate all the Jewish holidays and have taught my daughter about them. [ Reply | More

My ex-wife is Catholic. A Jewish girl did ask me out at NYU but I told her that I was terrible relationship material. Unfortunately she saw that as a challenge. Don't ask me why, but for whatever reason, I sort of knew you were Jewish before you said so. [ Reply | More
