Hey guys, I'm referring to true love and not just fling or mistress. My boyfriend and I can't get married. We just can't. Because we have a forbidden relationship. My guy keeps on telling me that when he gets married, he will keep...

Limey73 I know 7 years is a long time, and old habits die hard, but this guy is having you on dear - drop him like a hot brick, pronto! It probably won't be easy for you after all this time you've been with him, but better to suffer now for a while, than for the...

I realize there have been lots of discussions on myLot about age differences in relationships-- people seem divided on what is "OK" and what is "creepy." Recently, I have found myself re-visiting the "age issue" from a closer...

When countries such as Poland and Romania joined the EU, they were given the freedom to travel and work in the UK without a visa. What so many expected was an oppotunity to come here and earn money and make a better life for...

Limey73 We have similar problems in Canada. One of the main problems here is the fact that qualifications from other countries are not recognised here. For instance skilled people we need badly, eg doctors, surgeons etc - their diplomas, degrees whatever, do not...

If you had to choose between the following, and could only have one what would it be? (I mean if these things were completely independant from one another, because I realize that if you had wealth or love, you might think you...

Limey73 Tempted to say Love, but after thinking about it, would say Happiness, because I think if you radiate Happiness, Love will soon seek you out anyway. Luckily I don't have to choose, as I am blessed with both (not much of the first two though!).

I came across this quote, the other day: "If you are GREAT, you don't need to TELL people; people will tell YOU." I got to thinking about how we perhaps all have someone in our lives who's forever talking about their good...

Limey73 I'm a Brit living in Canada, and when I first came here to Toronto, 26 years ago, I had a hell of difficulty getting a job at first, because at interviews I always tended to "talk myself down" when asked about my skills and abilities....... For instance, if...

Limey73 There is also "The Wall, live in Berlin" DVD, recorded in 1990, a year after the Berlin Wall came down. A great and different concert, and if you haven't seen it, well worth a look.

Limey73 It is always nice to keep in touch with your heritage, even if you yourself were not born there. My wife and I are both English by birth, and lived a large part of our life in the UK. In July, 1981, We pulled up sticks and arrived in Toronto. We came, we...

Limey73 Hiya - you know, it's one thing to be bullied by your peers, and bad enough, but for a teacher to be the bully - well that really is the bloody limit! And you're right, it happens that way quite a lot; glad you mentioned it. In fact both our daughters...

Limey73 Hiya... Kids can be so cruel, and not always physically; sometimes the mind games are more affecting than the outright bullying. Don't want to sound sexist, but I have found that girls seem to specialize in that kind of thing more, whereas boys seem to...

What is your definition of the word "beautiful"? Does it concern about the inner beauty or the attitude of the person? Or does it concern only about the physical appearance? What do you think??

Limey73 Inner beauty is the long-lasting quality for sure, I would say........ Although, outer beauty is so subjective that it too can be long-lasting.......For instance, my wife and I have been married for many years - as a young woman she was outwardly beautiful...
