    Off to work - hi ho, hi ho. I'm not riding to work today either, Kits. Getting there is easy, coming home is just too much for me after a long day of work. Good on you to ride at all. I am jealous.
    yeah, i saw that. not a word about bicycling. I think it's either some confused soul or some guy trolling.

    I vote for confused soul. Trolling guys would post about used wet shared bike shorts?

    Knott, I agree, I aint never seen a bunch of wymens who can write and think like we does here.

    the trolling part i suggested because twice they said something about after the thrill is gone in a relationship, is it okay to cheat?

    Yep, I think we all are suspicious of Sad Ranger. The newest stealth troll technique is to post a few things that elicit sympathy and motherly reactions, then slowly to start introducing bodilyfunction/sex issues. Her intro was very cursory and no real bike info to speak of. I don't think she is much interested in biking.

    Well I do want to give her the benefit of the doubt. I am just curious about anyone who starts off the way she did. I was a little suspicious when she mentioned having affairs and I thought her intro was totally different from her other post (***kicker, no photo, no town/state/prov. - unless there really is a Sunny Island)

    now enough about me (considering it isn't to happy) what about this newbie that's laying her heart out? why do i always miss everything?

    CWR, I'm so glad you are able to try to work through this difficult time with your bf. Relationships can be hard to keep healthy and growing. Takes a lot of work. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, the work you are putting into it now will make you a better, stronger, wiser, more loving and more resilient person. Good going, friend!

    well, remember, a relationship only works if both people are really committed.
    Just because you love with all your heart and mind doesn't mean the other person will do that. the cardinal rule: screw me once shame on you.
    screw me twice, shame on me.
    PS Just reallized i gave unasked for advice. I'm sorry, the mother in me just pops in all the time!

    and about sad ranger, just do a search on that person's posts. they are still available for you to read.

    yes i know this and this is what i need to figure out. if i'm the only one in it or not.
    i believe in those rules too. and the advice was fine. i need someone to give me motherly advice now and again, thankfully here i get the sisterly advice that i need too.

    Some people react to pain in different ways. I always give new posters the benefit of the doubt.
