Cycling couple-nutso communication

[Zen]

So I don’t get why I’m not being told until the deed is done.

Surely after all this time together you must be used to this sort of thing.
It sounds to me like you have the kind of relationship I'd like.
You do your thing and I'll do mine and maybe sometimes we'll do our thing together.
What's not to like?

so you did or did not discuss the arctic and CA interviews before you went? /confused.

Hi gang -

Lest we forget, some past threads in which relationship advice was sought lead to misunderstanding, hurt feelings for the OP or others participating in the thread, and in a very few instances even erupted into a a flame war.

The classic example:

Tread cautiously.

wow. that was quite a thread! And I never posted on it once!

Shooting star, a lot of us have tried hard to get to meet and get to know other TE'ers. Some relationships have started here.

What you're saying is true, we can't really tell what you are like, but most of us advice givers are very much in earnest, so we pipe in here with advice, which we think you want because you asked for it.

I was sorry to hear you missed out on an opportunity to work in the Arctic.
good luck.

Hee hee, that epic thread was before you joined, Mimi, so you shall be held blameless.


It's a good example of how internet communication can go haywire.

omigoodness, you're right! two months before I ventured here.
