I've even used the "I'm too busy to date seriously" line on guys I don't really click with. Derby is my boyfriend and I'm happy in my relationship. I have a friend or two that satisfies the one physical need derby can't, lol but sometimes I put derby before them too!dollface mcsuckithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673763988322594980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-44117588382582222022012-03-22T23:27:44.646-04:002012-03-22T23:27:44.646-04:00Agreed, but read the whole piece.

I never appreciated my husbands involvement with golf, or the money he spent on it, but I didnt ever want to take it away. He enjoyed it.Arrah Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738705324841889273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-33782358892959607172012-03-22T20:37:08.387-04:002012-03-22T20:37:08.387-04:00I will have to say that I know the person that wro...I will have to say that I know the person that wrote that first entry and he is not someone who wants to put down his wife; he is bitter about derby and how much it takes from everyone involved.

He should feel proud of his wife and her accomplishments in life, not feel jealous or angry. If she has found a love that makes her feel empowered, and strong, and secure about herself then he should be happy for her. It is obvious to me that he doesnt want her to feel these ways about herself, because he is hoping that he gets back someone that is somewhat like his wife, so he wants a scared, weak, girl back instead of a strong, empowered woman. That logic doesnt appeal to me. Yes I understand his points about being left alone for long periods of time and having to do all the housework by himself, but that is a different issue with their marriage. Sounds to me like he doesnt want a wife with whom he has a partnership, but a little lady to stay home cook and clean, take care of the kids and submit to his iron rule, and this does not sit well with me!Arrah Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738705324841889273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-13027948655874881582012-03-21T10:20:20.548-04:002012-03-21T10:20:20.548-04:00I personally think Tsunami has the healthiest answ...I personally think Tsunami has the healthiest answer. Married couples aren't supposed to be joined at the hip all of the time and both partners need to grow and develop themselves as individuals too.Elektra Q-Tionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732580444053444826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370556203694333428.post-47149690231346395442012-03-21T09:51:42.577-04:002012-03-21T09:51:42.577-04:00I absolutely love your blog, Q!
I'm not even ...I absolutely love your blog, Q!<br /><br />I'm not even a skater and my husband often times feels like a derby widower. He is a good sport about it though and we do very well at balancing time together, for the most part. My concern is with telling the widow or widower, "You should help as a ref or an NSO or a volunteer - the team needs you too." Where the widow/er has an interest, that's a great thing. But you can't expect that every one of those widow/ers is interested. And you run the risk of having disinterested volunteers if their sole reason for doing it is to try to eek out a little more time with their loved one.<br /><br />It also seems like a very much one-sided compromise. Derby gets everything it wants and the relationship is tipping one way. <br /><br />I'm not saying a spouse/S.O. joining derby isn't an answer... it's certainly a very good one that works for some people. It's just not the answer for everyone. And we as a community would do well to support our community members when they take steps to shore up their relationships outside of derby - maybe that gives us the opportunity to be part of the solution and not so much a part of the problem.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295502313387040693noreply@blogger.com
