Reply #37: Tahiti, you and others don't like those of us married for over 25 years! [View All]

you don't believe in "Romatic Love and Marriage" because your life has been soured by bad experiences. I have many friends who feel like you.....but you know what! I'm kind of sick of hearing this. I'm okay and have been in a "romantic and wonderful" relationship for 25 years and more......

yeah....we've had lots of trials and tribulations and arguments and disagreements.....but we are romantic and we believe in religious vows and and .......hey......yeah! to you cynics.......we "GOT LUCKY."

But, your's and others trashing of "Religious marriages" and people who manage to stay together because they love each other through "thick and thin" and even fighting "evil relatives" and "kid problems" is really wearing a little thin on me these days.

I think you are a very interesting and challenging "intellectual poster".....who brings wonderful "academic style" to DU.......but lately you sound like a bitter harpie......who is sitting in your "Ivory Tower" pronouncing on DU'ers who have really good relationships but are here "FIGHTING LIKE HELL to GET BUSH OUT!"

I'm sort of sick of this trashing of us "Traditionalists" by some DU'ers who think somehow if one has a great, stable, committed relationship with romance and love and commitment........that we don't belong on DU.

BTW: You wouldn't want to know the angst we've had in our own lives, my husband and I, because that might make you all think that your pain might be shared by others but that we chose a different way than the " Anger and Bitterness, and Spite" I see by DU'ers who don't have "committed relationships" or those "relationships have gone sour" and they now want to trash those of us who do.......no matter that we have had some really bad stuff "go down" in our own lives that you don't even want to know about.

Peace to you Tahiti.......but this has gone too far......
