Re: As fast as you set the pace......

Every relationship and person is different...all I can say is live in the moment and enjoy the relationship and watch out for red flags...in the beginning we tend to miss them or not see areas that could become issues...

I was with my X for almost 30 yrs, met a guy after being solo for about 5 yrs and have been seeing him for about 3 yrs. He is a nice guy and treats me well and we have fun. The rules of the game are different with subsequent relationship and it depends on where we are. Some of us have already had kids, have jobs and we may be looking for different things such as companionship. Having gone through divorce we may not be looking for marriage again but a committed life partner or just someone to hang with. Our approach to a relationship is probably far more different than when we were younger.

However, we all bring baggage into the relationships, thats usually what can screw it up. I have had to recognize that nothing is forever, and my jaded outlook now shows me still that with these subsequent relationships if the going gets tough most of the people will just leave...having recognized that it may make some of us be on guard...try to refocus just on the moment, the day rather than 4ever after.

At the end of the day, we really only have ourselves to rely on. I know that sounds terribly cynical but thats where I am with a new/subsequent relationship...have fun, enjoy it, be happy and not put anything else out there except that.
