The Ex Factor: Do you still stay as ‘friends’?

Send Love EcardsThank you for all the messages that you wrote in to support Mrs. Bradley. She was overwhelmed with the love and affection in those messages. She said, “Bob, the love you get from these people is rubbing off on me as well! Please thank them on my behalf!” So folks, thank ya all!

Let’s talk about something else today. Have you read that I met Laura the other day? It threw me in a rather awkward position because I didn’t know how to carry myself in her presence. I didn’t even know whether I must say ‘Hi’ or just move on with a smile. I have heard that many people are friendly with their ex-significant others, despite the fact that they are not in a romantic relationship anymore. Is that the best way to be? What’s your opinion on this? Are you friends with your ex?

Age for Love

Send Love EcardsShould there be any age for love? That’s what I talked about in the newsletter. Frank’s love for Mrs. Bradley is unusual and she’s struggling to come to terms with it. I talked about it with a couple of friends. They supported the fact unanimously that anyone should be able to fall in love or be in love, no matter how young or old they are. Age has got nothing to do with it folks.

I would like to make another observation in this regard. I think after a certain age the meaning of love takes a new turn. It’s no more the fun of dating or partying that people look for in their significant other. It’s more about spending time together and protecting each other from the cruel barbs of loneliness. I know that I look for different things now in a partner. Meaning of Love has more depth, more meaning and more poignancy as you grow older.

What do you think? What’s your opinion on love and age? Comment below and share your thoughts.

Reconnecting Friendships

Send Friendship Week Ecards
As I wrote in the newsletter, Irina took Megan’s words to heart and tried to console with Kate. Click here to read about what happened. Megan, as you already know by now, is the wisest soul around and can be counted upon to act as peace-maker. Irina understood Megan’s point and realized her brash action has hurt Kate. Irina called up Kate and apologized and tried to patch things up. Kate didn’t really react one way or the other. She treated the call with a general lack of warmth and had apparently made an excuse of having to cook. Then on that pretext, she hung up. This behind-the-scene story was told to me by whom else, Megan. Now I am really alarmed at the way things are shaping up in this context. I just hope and pray that senses return to the two war-ladies and they get back to their ‘gal pal’ ways again. And I want that to happen soon! Stay tuned! I have a feeling you haven’t heard the last on this!

In my last newsletter, I asked you about whether you have friends that you’ve stopped talking to. How did you go about patching up? Do you have any advice for the warring parties? What should I do? Help!
