General > How to move on after a relationship dies

I'd like to make a couple of additional points. If we are talking about love, then when a relationship becomes that intense, so intense that both parties abdicate responsibility for their own health, happiness and safety, in order to prioritise those of their other half, regardless of whether they reciprocate or not, just because you can't help yourself... at that point you won't be looking for the relationship to end. Ever. You will work on the premise that this is something that will endure, until one of you dies. If you are still making calculations about when is it the right time to make the break, then you are simply not in love. You are just having fun. If you are genuinely in love, then the end of the relationship will be traumatic. You should fight to stop it ending, if you think it can be saved. But if that proves impossible, then if you genuinely care about the other person's happiness above your own, then you have got to let go, no matter how painful. With luck, both parties will have friends who can act as a support network to help both get back on their feet. And if you both do the right things, you might, eventually, be able to re-establish a non-romantic friendship.
The other point I wanted to address was the one raised by kookiesNCr.. Hoping to find someone almost like the person you just broke up with... I wonder if this has ever happened to anyone else. When I have had relationships, I have often entered with noticing physical flaws, and/or other characteristics that I had to make allowances for. However, when the relationship ends, what I had to put up with before became things that I found attractive in other women. It is not that I was consciously looking for a copy of was now gone. I simply found beauty in what previously I found less than beautiful. I have never mentioned this to anyone, but I expect it is very common.

Is there space on Rude to discuss romantic love? I think there should be. Let me make the case.
Firstly, earlier on today, someone started a thread about the difficulty he had letting go. This thread actually began as a comment on his post. However, after I'd written it, it struck me as far too harsh to leave that comment there. I did not know nearly enough about his personal situation. I also can empathise with his pain, having experienced it myself. When relationships die, we go through a natural grieving process. I think a large number of Rude members have done the same. I have checked possibly thousands of Rude members' profiles since joining, on Valentine's Day actually. And virtually every single one of our profiles say "I have never dumped someone. I have been dumped." If so many of us have been dumped, it is probably not a bad idea to discuss how best to deal with that pain. And how to help our buddies when this happens to them. Or when they are in a situation when they have no option but to cut loose from someone.
The fact is that Rude members DO form stable relationships. Many couples are on this site. Some of them are swingers: Alanna and her hubby, for instance. Most who swing tend to advertise on Rude only for female partners. Since there are so many loving couples on this site (Trinity and MrToo, RudeMcP and Chesty, Brett and Sammy... the list is endless), why is it that almost nothing is said about romantic love here?
The first time I raised this question on Rude was when TaQuilla tackled all aspects of sexuality in her blog. She divided them into sensuality, sexuality and eroticism. Does anyone agree with me that there should be somewhere on Rude where we can discuss emotions, and romantic love? Or do they just get in the way of a good wank?

Can I thank BJMature also for her support. Can I also say that I have no problems with people taking issue with parts of what I wrote. We all benefit from having our ideas challenged. That sharpen them up. Could I say to BJ that I do think I may have not been as clear as I wanted. I accept that when a relationship goes sour, one party might be completely blameless. And I am not arguing that at the first signs of stress one party should not fight to save the relationship. However, a point comes when you have to recognise that the time has come to let go. If you truly love someone you have to wish them to be happy, even if the only way that is possible is by agreeing that you can no longer be part of her life. If you refuse to accept this, you destroy your own chance of ever finding true happiness with another. Furthermore, you will poison the mind of the woman you claim to love. All the happy memories you could have left her with will be tainted by the obsessive stalker you are in danger of turning into.If a parent loves their children, they will know when the time comes to let them move on with their lives, and make their own mistakes. In much the same way, if the love of your life needs you out of her life, you have to let her have that. For the happiness of you both. If this strikes some as sentimental and gushy... That's just me: big hearted, romantic Derek.

Hi Strawberry. I really appreciate your support in this. I trust you and your baby are both doing well. As soon as I heard you had gone into hospital my thoughts were with you.
As far as the comment from the other individual is concerned, the one who dismisses my blog is a toilet... I drew up a reply, to him and to other contributors to the message board who share his contemptuous attitude to me and my blog. However, I am having second thoughts about posting it on the message board. I think I'ill save it for my blog

If you love someone, it has to be unconditional. That person's happiness and health is more important to you than your own, or anyone else's. That is why if your better half falls out of love with you, you have to let her go (if it is a she). She needs space to get on with her life and to find someone to give her what you cannot. Possibly a time will come when a relationship blossoms once again. However, if you really still love her, lelp her to get over you. Wish her well. Look forward to her finding someone to replace you. And get on with your own life. Don't dwell on what might have been. Retain the good memories, and push the bad ones out of your head, if that is possible. Try to learn lessons from what you did wrong. And see that you don't repeat them in your next relationship. Obsessing can make for great literature. But in reality, it leads to a tragic waste of your life. And possibly fear and anxiety for the one you claim to love. Just because one relationship did not work out, that does not mean the next one won't. However, if the next one discovers that you still cannot leave behind past romantic attachments, she will not feel special. She won't stick around for too long. Before you have any chance of finding true love, you need to get over old ones that are gone forever.

The new zoom feature should improve Rude members' perving experience here no end. There is now no justification for anyone not using this browser in sponsored group shows. And that means the banners will always be there. I also discovered that producers and red mods did not know about IE's zoom feature. Had to send RudeMails to both to explain this. This feature should be brought to everyone's attention here at Rude.

I am also using it right now. One great new feature is one they've stolen from IE. It is possible to zoom the entire page many time over. Those who want to watch a performer, and could not care less about the chat can now do this in either IE or FF.

Should the FREE VIP competition be... - Submitted: Jun 17, 2008 04:00 PM

... biased in favour of men? Obviously this would be unfair. However, this would balance out the unfairness against men in becoming producers. I have seen guys (including myself) up against competition of women who really ought to be going for VIP via Producership.
I am not arguing for excluding women from this competition. However, apart from exceptional circumstances (such as a particular reason why a woman cannot get Producership) or their being no other entrants, or the superiority of a woman candidate being overwhelming, I think there should be such a bias in favour of men. At least until there is parity of rights on becoming a Producer.
I would appreciate guidance on this. The reason I ask for clarification is that I was just off to show off my new status to a handful of woman that I would like to tempt to enter this competition. However, the truth is that all of these ought to be Producers. I don't want to pesuade them to enter this competition if the judges have the same attitude that I have that there really ought to be a bias in favour of men.
I assume there will be a variety of attitudes to this. A debate should be healthy.

Thanx to the judge(s), whoever that person (or persons) might have been. And thanx to everyone who wished me luck on the board. And especially to those who made it clear they wanted me to win. I will get round to doing so individually on their RudePages, blogs RudeMails and elsewhere else I can think of. And a special thanx to Angel Eyes. Firstly for letting me have the only scrap of multimedia on my RudePage. And for every other form of support over this competition and in general.
If I had not won today, I intended to pull out all the stops to make the case for why I should get it next time round - unless I was convinced that a better candidate had entered ther race that particular day. I am confident that I could have made a very convincing case, and I would win the judge(s) over sooner rather than later. However, I am very, VERY pleased that this was not necessary.
Once again, thanx.

Thanx to all the well wishers, and to BJMature for her advice via RudeMail, which I will take into consideration if I don't win first time round.
I don't intend to follow this thread until I after the decision is made.If I don't get it, then tomorrow I will reenter. I will also make a case for why I should get it. However, the judges might be interested in knowing that although I promise to make my case an interesting read, hopefully an enjoyable one, as I have pointed out before, I don't do brevity. It might make War and Peace look like a short story. So if the judges can't speed read and aren't looking forward to learning how to do so within the next few hours, they might want to shut me up by tossing me that VIP upgrade now. That was a joke, btw.
On a serious note, I remembered one other song lyric on my blog. A song called Angel Eyes. I don't know how I could have forgotten that one. But it has been removed within the last few minutes. I will double check, and if I find any others, I'll take them down too.

I just remembered I have a blog entry on jokes by Steven Wright. I suspect one line jokes are not covered by Rude's copywrite policy. However, to be on the safe side.... They are now gone.

I want to win this competition.
I expect I will have done something to screw up my first time entering. If so, I will reapply. I had about ten song lyrics: one from Arcade Fire, many from Jake Thackery and one from Don McLean. To be best of my knowledge, I have got them all off my blog in time.
There is no multimedia stuff on my Page, but there is likely to be within a few days, including some pics of Trin's that I won in a quiz a few days ago, and a pic from a very special lady, and a couple of vids from me. But I have decided not to wait any longer. I was also going to wait a few more days because many of my stats are on the verge of crossing landmark figures within the next few days. I thought it might be funny for the judges to note that I had exactly 4,000 age views, 150 blog entries, 250 RudePages favorited, 300 vids favorited, 200 pics favorited and 100 buddies. But I can't be arsed doing that.
I am not going to make a pitch for why I deserve this. If I do not get it first time round, I will try again. I am confident that at least two red mods would like me to win, and possibly more. I am not going to ask any of my Producer friends to make shout-outs on my behalf or to lend support, unless they feel they want to do that. I know that these people have hundreds and even thousands of buddies. I do not want to put them in a situation where they feel obliged to help every buddy that asks them to do that. My RudePage and elsewhere has plenty of nice comments by people that make me feel good about myself. That is all I care about. No one needs to repeat what they have said just to help me win a competition. Having these people as buddies makes me feel special, with our without VIP status.
P.S. If I have screwed up this application, could someone tell me what I did wrong, and I will try to fix it in time.

Rude Contests > VIP Free Upgrade

This does not address my concerns. Firstly, I now know that it is still one single individual member of the panel who takes the decision each day, and the number of votes are not decisive, and no explanation needs to be given... This is a terrible idea, imho. Members of the panel will have their favorites, buddies and prejudices, and these have been set out all around Rude. Just because entrants are not told when which is the best day for them to enter (at least not pubicly), that does not affect the risk that favoritism and/or prejudice (if only at a subconsciouse level) will carry the day. Even if this was not the case, justice must only be done, it has to be seen to be done. It is not in the interests of any of the judges to have allegations of favoritism and/or prejudice held against them. And even if the entrants will never know who took the decision, the other judges will know, and they can have their own suspicions that the decision was taken in advance, and the entire exercise was a pointless waste of time, from the point of view of all bar one entrant that day. The only way to make such allegations impossible is by decisions taken by majority vote.
Secondly, the question of when to enter. Of course it makes no sense to enter five minutes before closing. But whose clock are we working by? The judges must have an agreed time zone. So what is it? Is it EST? Does one day's competition begin at midnght EST? If not, then when? If this question is not answered, then someone could continually enter five minutes before the closing time for applications because they simply do not know the answer to this question.
Thirdly, we are told that this is not a popularity contest. However, unless the concerns raised in my opening paragraph are dealt with, everyone will suspect that this IS a popularity contest with the judge of the day - even if their anonymity makes this impossible to prove on any given day, or ever. But if it is not a popularity contest in the sense that the numbers of supporters for a candidiate is not decisive, then should campaign material on the day count? After all, someone could ask a more articulate buddy to write their campaign material. In the past, I have written speeches, jokes and letters that others have taken the credit for, which is fine by me. I can think of lots of reasons why the judges might decide to back me over the competition. But I cannot make such a case without this being an implicit call for others to languish out there in the ghost town that is non-VIP Land. I reeally, REALLY do not want to do that. If the content of my blog and RudePage did not speak for themselves, then I would, reluctantly, try to make a case for me getting VIP status. I think I could make series of convincing arguments. And I do not think I would be accused of lack of imagination either. Having said that, in my pre-atheist days, the priesthood indoctrinated me with notions about not blowing your own trumpet. This is one of the few things left from my religious "education" that lingers on. Because the ONLY way to restore Rude to me as the pleasurable experience it was prior to VIP is to win VIP status, I will make the case for why I should get it, rather than anyone else who enters the competition that day. But I will only do that if it is absolutely precondition of entering the competition. I was hoping that I could just throw my hat into the ring, then hope that the judge (whoever he or she is that day) could make the decision based on my content, and what he/she knew about me. However, judging from what is being said here, it looks like such an approach might be a waste of entering the competition. If that is the case, then I would like to know beforehand.

Fall in love
Lose your brains
Write crap poems
Have lots of waynes.
*****************************************
Jokes that need to be explained are always crap. However, for non-UK residents (and possibly non residents of Scotland) waynes (which I know is spelt wrong, but I don't know the real spelling, and I could not find this out by googling it) are kids.
And I don't care if my poetry is crap or not. I no longer have the brains to give a fuck.
