I'm Worried Update: He Called And Apologized

[CajunDixie]

Hmmmm

I'm not happy about the fact that TJ has to drive on these roads to get to work, especially since he's originally from Florida but he reminded me that he has lived in Alaska and Oregon and has lived here in Virginia for four years so he does have some practice. I also asked him to call me later tonight to let me know that he's safe and he said he'd call me as soon as he gets to work. He barely ever calls me in the afternoon (he's usually asleep) so his phone call a few minutes ago actually surprised me but he wanted to talk to me right before he went to sleep.

He doesn't mind that I worried about his driving in ice and snow because he's from Florida, so why should anyone else?

4 years isnt enough practice? Then I'd advised you not to venture out in snow for 4 years since you've just learned to drive. With all the worrying you do I wouldnt be surprised if you end up with an ulcer.

My husband lived in MI for many years and I still worry about him driving in the snow/ice. I don't think HW is being silly at all.

My husband asked me within the first few dates about wanting to get married and have kids. Like others on the thread, I was a bit put off by this at first. I realized, however, that my husband is a very focused and driven man. He knew what he wanted in life and really didn't want to waste his time with someone that didn't share his same goals in life. He wasn't asking if I wanted to marry him and have his kids, just if that was what I wanted from life!! Obviously since he is my husband it all worked out. He is perfectly normal and is not really controlling. And the qualities of being driven and knowing what he wants in life are part of what I feel in love with and part of what has helped us build a pretty great life!

Thank you, robsmom...TJ has those qualities as well. I think the question was more b/c there was no point in wasting his time with someone who doesn't want to have kids when he does want more than anything else. Besides, his first wife (he was married to his high school sweetheart for one year when he was 19) didn't want kids.

Becky - a couple of my friends that I went to school with at Midlothian HS have become Chesterfield policemen. I talked to one today by chance and I asked if he knew TJ - he said it sounded vaguely familiar but he doesn't spend a lot of time by the courthouse. He's going to ask another friend of ours who is a cop that is friends with a couple of the guys in the sheriff department if he knows him. That would be funny if he was one of his poker buddies (as he puts it) Would be a small world!!

I totally agree with Jersey Janice.. BTW TMI...

 

[honeywolf7]

Well, I don't think he plays poker but that would be pretty cool. I went to a new church yesterday (a friend got me to go with her) and met an older man who is a policeman in Chesterfield but he didn't know TJ (I forget how many people he told me were in each department but I think it was in the hundreds for both.)

just an fyi Cajun, people don't drive on the wrong side of the road in germany.

 

[MeanLaureen]

LOL Serena! That's the same thing my hubby said when he read it - he lived in Germany for a few years.

Becky - I think the poker buddy name isn't quite as literal as you take it - just means they hang out together at times.

That's cool that you went to a church in Chesterfield. I know you work for the UMC - is that your religion too? I go to a UM church in Chesterfield and my "ex fiance" is a minister of a UM church here too.

Glad to see you got your drivers license and a car. This city is darn near impossible to get around in on GRTC. Unless you just want to go on the Broad Street corridor. Although I know from my VCU students that work for me that parking on the VCU campus can be a bear.

Hope everything works out for you on the Criminal Justice major. I had a couple of students working for me that went with that as the major and ended up dropping it for something else.

Oops (about the "poker buddy" thing...I'd never heard that term before so I thought you meant it literally.)
I actually went to a Baptist church. I'm Protestant, but I'm not really picky about which Protestant church I go to. Also, I'm actually leaving my job at the Methodist church for a different part-time job that pays about the same and where I basically do the same kind of work. I'm tired of being kept from helping those that I'd like to help because our church "doesn't offer that kind of service."
I'm curious as to why they dropped it. Personally, I love Criminal Justice. It's the first field that I've taken classes in that actually made me want to go to class every time and where I was disappointed if class was cancelled for some reason.

Hi again!

I don't think you need to defend any of the decisions you make. The more you defend yourself, the more some people might be egged on to put you down. You seem to be doing what you think is best for you and your children. Keep up the good work!

I guess when you post something on the Community Board that makes you sound clingy, needy, and desparate for love, then you probably need to be prepared to defend yourself.
