True Colours of Destiny maenad nuri Please, please stop trying to get me to move. I said I'll consider it -- but I need my current job to get to go to grad school. I need to stay around here, not in the suburbs. At this point in time, I would hiss at someone who suggests moving to suburbia. sweatdrop He loves the suburbs. I have a thinly veiled contempt for them.

jonasgarland Namikikyo Gypsy is a racial slur that is extremely hurtful, I would appreciate you changing it. Actually. No it isn't. There are people who call themselves gypsies. It isn't a racial slur. It may be considered offensive or derogatory, but so can any word in the English language. The word gypsy is a word once used describe traveling folk. It does not apply to race, get that out of your head. No Sir, it is not. I wish I could tell you in your face how stupid you are for believing this and how dare you tell me what to get out of my head. I gave you links and an example of how it is a slur.
So I'll ask again;
Please go back to history class and kindly change the ******** name.

Or am I being too pessimistic?

Hubby grew up in somewhat poorer areas of suburbs than I did. So he views suburbs as a step up. I don't really. Plus -- work will pay for grad school. Like a lot of it. There's no telling if I'd be able to find a job with the same company (with the same benefits) if I move. It makes me a little nervous that he's trying this hard to convince me, when I want to get my goals accomplished too.

It makes me a little nervous that he's trying this hard to convince me, when I want to get my goals accomplished too. What is it about the suburbs that makes it appear as a step up to him? It sounds like you are living quite nicely too. What he's looking for might be actually closer than he thinks. Also is he still aware of your goals? I know my fiancee and I both have a tendency to forget what we each want. It's good to have deep heart to hearts about dreams and goals in my experience with my fiancee. I learn something new about her too.

rmcdra What is it about the suburbs that makes it appear as a step up to him? It sounds like you are living quite nicely too. What he's looking for might be actually closer than he thinks. I have no idea --he's also thinking Chicago itself, which might be interesting at least, for a short time. Quote: Also is he still aware of your goals?

I learn something new about her too. He better -- I remind him that it's my turn for the higher learning once he's finally done with this round for him.

What he's looking for might be actually closer than he thinks. I have no idea --he's also thinking Chicago itself, which might be interesting at least, for a short time. Sounds like something to explore. Quote: Quote: Also is he still aware of your goals? I know my fiancee and I both have a tendency to forget what we each want.

XD I'm sure he remembers but it may be muddled with other things on his mind right now. Is there anything going on with him currently that could be pressing his need to move to become more vocal? If this is too personal feel free not to answer, I'm just throwing some questions to think about that might help you generate discussion with your Hubby.

A little too personal, but finishing school and trying to get things stable always looms in our heads, and he feels it a bit more intensely than me.

The whole situation with Roman Polanski has brought out the rape apologists in swarms.
Apparently, just saying no isn't enough, you have to punch the rapist in the face too. Oh and if you get drunk it means you auto consent to sex with someone. Clearly. >.<
I ******** hate people.

Recursive Paradox The whole situation with Roman Polanski has brought out the rape apologists in swarms. Apparently, just saying no isn't enough, you have to punch the rapist in the face too. Oh and if you get drunk it means you auto consent to sex with someone. Clearly. >.< I ******** hate people. Keep in mind though, that for three decades, the girl has been desperately trying to get lawyers and the media to just drop it already - she has already settled with him out of court and would rather you, me, the media, the law, and everyone else gawking at them just let her get on with her life and quit drudging up incredibly painful memories.
