How difficult is German compared to something like Spanish or French when coming from a native English speaker? My wife and I have been tossing around the idea of learning so that we can communicate with her grandmother in her native tongue and with relatives should we ever have get lucky enough to get the chance go on her yearly visits to family.
I’m having an emergency. Just got this from Iraq:
[quote]Hi,
How are you?
Find a man yet ?[/quote]
Do I say yes, or no, or maybe, or. . .what?
Why does it always take me so long to finish breaking things off? This will be the fourth email since I told him I’ve decided it can’t work. WTF.

Why “THE ONE”?
I have been married for 20 years. She Say is “THE ONE”. I hope to die first so I don’t have to deal with life without her.
If for some reason she left my life I can’t imagine finding another “THE ONE”.
And to be honest…I wouldn’t want to.
Been there done that…
Thoughts?

The Mister and I have talked about this. If something were to happen to me, I’d hope he would find someone else. I wouldn’t wish loneliness on him. He has said the same.
BUT - If something happened to him, I’d probably go with a golden retriever and a vibrator. 
I’ve told that joke here before, after that DAMN Orion told me that my sexual market value is dropping like a stone with every passing year.
It hardly bears thinking about, because with any luck you won’t ever been in that position. By the time something were to happen to SheSay, you’d be living in an assisted living home somewhere and won’t even remember your name, much less want to go dancing (arthritis acting up), or go to concerts (you know old men are all deaf anyway) … Unless you are thinking about stepping out on your marriage. That’s a whole different issue. I don’t think you are saying that. I think it’s natural to imagine the other paths, even if you have no intention of “getting lost” on them.
I know myself well enough to know I wouldn’t be looking for 4-7 men to date. I’d want to find another THE ONE, and well…that just seems incredibly unlikely. I mean, a really good man has loved me since I was 20. That’s pretty much my entire adult life.
Related, someone I know had her husband promise him that if he died she would NEVER remarry. What kind of person would wish loneliness like that on someone they profess to love?

Totally. We both would want the other to be happy.
Mr. Puff sounds very lucky and nice. Good luck to the creep that wishes loneliness on his widow!

Just ignore…that tends to be the best bet for making us go away…

I took german in middle school and it wasn’t that difficult.
Then promptly lobotomized with dat cannabis for the next decade. Can still just barely remember verb tenses like Ich habe, du habst er,sie,es…
Oh, Em. The guy is still hanging on after 4 e-mails of “not going to work out”?
Maybe he just needs to communicate with someone other than a fellow G.I.?

Thank you. Just to clarify, the golden retriever is just for companionship. LOL!
About “getting a little lost”. That’s from this movie. I highly recommend. It’s funny, and a very sweet story about divorce and forgiveness. I think it was instant stream available from netflix or amazon prime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JIXs-zRHG8

I hear that when an old woman dies over at Leisure World, all the other old ladies are elbowing their way to the widower’s door with casseroles and pie. Apparently your sexual market value has no where to go but up. It’s a numbers thing.

I’m only supposed to communicate with Hockey now. We decided.
But I didn’t mention Hockey to Iraq, just the distance and danger issues. 
It seems mean to ignore him. :-/
Why would anyone in their right mind want multiple romantic partners? Lunacy.

What a terrible promise to ask. Selfish and potentially cruel.

I have no interest in multiple romantic partners (seriously no thanks). Multiple sexual partners is another story. I can’t see myself staying in a relationship that long at least not at this stage.

Who promised who what?
Marry and dating/seeing others are different things 
Related, how do you convince someone to go into a open relationship?

We’re sleeping together now and everything is just really good, so I think (and he seems to think) that it’s worth focusing on exclusively. Still not one single red flag. He’s strong and kind and funny. I’m sure there are negative qualities, but to this point I haven’t noticed any.
He’s always been enjoyable to be around, but now that I get to touch whenever I want to it’s even better.
I’m definitely having feelings.
