Adult children living at home with parents...

Oh boy, you keep believing that. I truly hope it works for you; but you're young, if it doesn't, there are plenty of other men out there for you.

PS- What was your drug of choice?

This reminds me of the other thread where that guy's friend won't realize her stupidity and therefor he will no longer be her friend. Why are we even wasting our time with this?

MY drug of choice? Mostly marijuana...but towards the end (before rehab) I was eating any pill that I could find, and acid too....

I'm not forcing anybody to read and reply to this...if you think it's not worthy of your oh-so-important, high-and-mighty time, stop replying to it.....I'm on here trying to get some perspective and some advice...if you don't have any...no need to post, right?

See, I don't really consider pot a drug. Maybe it's just me.....And no, I don't even smoke, not since my college days, some 14 years ago...

Lots of people DON'T consider it a drug...and that's all well and good for them. But for me...it definately was....considering that I was smoking 9 grams of it in two days...BY MYSELF.

The guy can always stay on the couch or spare room, no?

Honestly, I would have a bigger problem with my daughter dating a drug addict than I would with her having sex.

An EX-drug addict. And, I myself was one too...so they can't and won't judge him because of that...when I deem it right to tell them, then they'll know....as it is right now, I don't see them NEEDING to know.

Couldn't agree more Vashti -

Been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt. (Not ME, but partners) Drugs and alcohol have destroyed almost every potential great relationship I've ever had.

Once an addict, well, as they say....

[Pears]

Despite what you are seeing from the male posters who may or may not have children, many, many parents are not comfortable with the idea of their child having sex. Parents like to see that the "outsider" is committed to and LOVES their child, truly and deeply, before they are having sex, and for many "proof" of this type of relationship means marriage. Does this mean they don't think their child is having sex? Probably not, but if you think it is yucky to think about your parents having sex, it is twice as disturbing to think about your child having sex, so many parents refuse to think about it at all and don't appreciate it when presented with undeniable proof, especially when their child is only 21.

Thanks for the insight. I knew it is always uncomfortable for people to think about their parents having sex but I never thought of it the other way around. That could be because I'm not a parent.

shh! was my drug; I'm going thru withdraw.

Lloyd, I think you, Shh! and Rosebud are involved in a three-way marriage.

You guys bicker too much not to be....Just sayin'

BTW...Not to threadjack but Xmas girl and I had a long (phone, she called me) talk today. Actually no serious topics but either we'll be married forever within a year or never speak to each other after today.

Don't know which option I want. LOL.... Hard to admit that you truly love somebody, huh?

[clynn]

Hey threadjacker!

I don't quite understand...but it sounds like quite the conversation. You said no serious topics...but was it just an epiphany you had? Or an ultimatum she delivered, or?

Is it hard to admit you truly love somebody? For some more than others, for sure. Cuz it is a risk. for sure.

(and what about bar girl?)
