My secret? I almost bailed at my wedding.
I was still in love with my ex. And although I ended up marrying, I was still in love with my ex for about 2 more years.
Sometimes I talk online and feel I connect to other guys.
The sad part? I honestly love my husband.
---
Seems to me you should have done your husband a favor and bailed, but instead you only thought of yourself. How selfish.
---
I started the relationship with my currentgirl while I still wasnt over my ex. its taken about 6 months to get over it. my gf knows, and brings it up in every discussion she's losing... but I honestly love my girl, about 10 times more then Ive ever had feelings for my ex. perhaps I should wait longer then 1 month after a 3 year relationship to start a new one
---
love alone can tear a person apart.
---
it is a shame when you marry someone out of some disjointed loyalty only to spend the rest of your married life miserable
c.u.f
---
Yep - I almost married someone out of loyalty - thank heavens I saw the light!
---
You know, I have a different point of view about all this. First off, I don't see anyone in this oceangram who married anybody out of loyalty, misplaced or otherwise,. Except for the person just before me, who apparently did.
Second, a lot of people are still in love with their ex after a divorce. That depends on who initiated the divorce and what the issues were. That's pretty normal.
Do you have to wait to have another relationship until the coals of a first are completely dead, I'd say it depends. I don't think it's necessary for all positive feelings about an ex to disappear. However, if you have active plans to socialize with your ex or even try to sleep with him again, you're not ready for another relationship. If you still have thoughts in your head, but no real desire or intention to act on them , I'd say you're ready - go ahead.
Third, as far as I'm concerned, being in a committed relationship doesn't mean that you can't feel you connect with other guys. At least, if "connect" is beng used the way I would use it. Having a committed relationship doesn't mean you can't have connections with other men.
The first person here loves her husband. I don't see that she has anything to be sorry or worried about. At least from what I read in the message. I think some of the people who've added to this oceangram are assuming a lot that isn't said and being very judgmentmental about what they think has been said.
OK. I'm done. Utah USA 9/21/06

Well said sc !
Different strokes for different folks. I thhink we can have different sorts of feelings of love. I love several of my friends. Some I just have acquaintances with. All men (as am I) but I have no desire to run away with them and live with them. Slightly different with opposite sex but same principle. As long as there aren't the dangerous 'romantic' fantasies or lust it can work perfectly well. If my wife was still friends with her ex, I could deal with that. If she spent weekends with him I'd worry ! I gues I'm saying that love can change shape from romantic or lustful to cosy and friendly. And there must always be happy times to remember. Don't look for perfection in life. Just make the most of what you have and try not to hurt anyone. RG UK

I'm totally not married.
---
Great words of wisdom in this botle.
---
Get counseling!EVERYONE!
---
Umm errr .. what they said .. nothing to add here .. Back goes the bottle.
---
A lot of people discussing it is better than one trying to deal with it alone.
---
I wonder whether the original sender is tracking this? I only want to add that even when in a relationship, people can't help it if they feel "crushes" and/or "connections" to other men or women. These things can pass. It's only a problem if you act on it. Or actively seek it out. Don't ruin what you have on a whim, but don't string your husband along, either.
---
Lots of words of wisdom. I made a serious mistake when I married my second husband as he was a horrible mean man. The details would shock anyone but even though I divorced him many long years ago and have no contact it hurt me and my family and the effects are still evident. Take your time choosing a life partner. Six more months and I would never have married him. If a person has met "the right one" he/she will still be there in six months or a year. If it's the wrong person, they will be long gone.

Never recieved a message - hope someone gets this one.

One of many received.
The longer you stay on the more you receive

Just wait. They will come soon.

No, they won't. They never come. I wait and I wait and I wait, spending my days, sitting on my chair in front of the monitor, it's been weeks now and I've gotten exactly zero messages. I'm beginning to lose all hope of e're receiving one....*sigh*

I enter competitions online and then come to check for a bottle - there's always one waiting!

Do any of you see the ridiculousness of this? THe people who say they have never recieved a message are KIDDING. They sent this one, didn't they?

I was just thinking the same. If they never receive them, how do they forward them? HAHA!!

Please add to this story and let's see how it turns
our:
Once upon a time there was:
---
a little boy standing on the beach...
---
He watched as the dolphins played, away off in the
distance, and wished he could be swimming among them.
---
Then all of a sudden, he saw this bottle come floating
by. He said look, it has a message inside----
---
He picked up the bottle, pulled out the cork, took the
paper out and unrolled it. The message read:
---
"Do not be sad child, your father was an ancient
mariner beloved by all things aquatic, your salty
tears bond you to him eternally"Just then out of the
corner of his eye, the boy saw something mesmerising.
unbelievably it was a..."
---
mermaid. Always thought to be fiction...there she
was, her tail glistening in the water as she jumped up
and dove in the water. Then....
---
The child wished to become a merman and "POOF" the
genie in the bottle made it happen. The child so
happily jumped in the water and swam after the
mermaid. Then...
---
----
He realised that he no longer had his two legs, that
they had been replaced by a single tail. In his panic
he....
---
swam in frantic circles trying to figure out what to
do....
---
eat for lunch as all this swimming was making him
hungry. So he decided........
---
..to go to his favorite burger stand on the beach..
but wait.. he couldn't walk.. Was he never to taste
another juicy burger?? Was this what he wanted??
Would he ever see his family again??
---
Then suddenly he remembered the mermaids and his
hunger changed into something else...
CUF
---
juicy mermaids he thought and swam out to find them.
the mermaids will cook me a feed sure as eggs he
thought. just when he had almost reached the
mermaids....
---
a fishing vessel spread its large net and he was
caught along with other
---
merpeople! No no, they all cried. Except it turns
out that they spoke merspeach, so it came out sounding
a bit like a bunch of seals. The fishermen said - OH
NO, NOT MERMAIDS AGAIN!
So that their haul wasn't a complete waste, they took
all the mermaids and merman to the circus in town,
where ...
---
they were sold to the circus to be put on display. But
to their amazement,
---
the circus wasn't doing very well and soon closed.
Luckily the kindly owner....
---
was filthy rich so he built an aquarium for all the
merpeople. they weren't very happy put on display like
that, so they...
---
decided to do something about it. One night when the
circus owner was putting food in the aquarium they
swam up and asked him if they could please go free.
The man saw the error of his ways and decided that
even though they were very beautiful merpeople, and
looked great in an aquarium, they would be much
happier back in the ocean. No sooner as the man had
agreed on this, a...
---
bullet hit him in the back and he died instantly. The
wealthy dead mans servants decided to cash in on the
unusual inhabitants of the pool and put them all in a
hot tub and transported them to another circus where
they were put on show and were very unhappy so they
all killed themselvs.
The end
---
one was the little boy though, and just before he died
he called out his wish for them all to be
reincarnated, and as there was still a wish
remaining...
---
he brought all the other merpersons back and they all
were transfered to regular people. The realized they
had a great sound so became the new group, Water
people. after the 1st 12 # 1 hits....
---
their lives fell into the inevitable downward spiral
of booze, drugs, and fast women. Their spirit.......
---
Their spirits suffered terribly as they forgot who
they were and where they had come from while under the
haze of a drug-induced fog. But the human spirit, in
some, cannot be extinguished that easily. The boy
always lived inside the grown merman, and fought to
remind him of the day he stood on the seashore
watching the dolphins play...
---
and he wondered "what happened to my mother?" After
his stint on stage that night he left the theater and
headed home to the last place he remembered his mother
living. When he arrived he saw.............
---
a ramshackle cottage sitting in a yard of overgrown
grass and weeds. Yet there was a dim light...
---
He struggled through the neglected garden reached the
frount door.Before he knocked he peeped in at the
window and saw....
---
an elderly man sitting in front of a dwindling fire.
He had a long beard, a blue captain’s overcoat and an
ancient pipe was perched between his cracked lips.
There was an eye patch over one eye and a wooden peg
protruding from his left pants leg. As if sensing the
boy was there, the wizened man turn toward the window
and said, “Hello son.”
It was then that the boy remembered what that long
letter in a bottle had said, “Do not be sad child,
your father was an ancient mariner beloved by all
things aquatic, your salty tears bond you to him
eternally."
He felt a drop of water run down is face from his eye
and it landed on his lips. Unconsciously, he licked
his lips and realized his tears tasted of salt, just
like the ocean, just like the note had said. He looked
sharply at the man in the cottage and said,

Here is a wonderful old song:
How the world can change.
It can change like that!
due to that wonderful word, MARRIED!
See a palace rise, from a two-room flat,
Due to that wonderful word, MARRIED!
And the old despair, that was sometimes there,
suddenly ceases to be....
and you'll wake one day, turn around and say,
"somebody WONDERFUL married me!"
And so he did, and I wish you absolutely, the very best. Widowed at 34, raised 6 children alone, life is worth living. Enjoy every moment, even when it hurts.
