Comment on Moving in Together – Pros and Cons of Shacking Up by Robert

Me I would try living together first before I would ever choose or decide to get married. If you can’t live together in harmony, how do you expect to be happy in marriage?

Comment on Staying in a Marriage for Financial Reasons by Amanda K

Reading this, and comments has been helpful. Both at 72 now, (in a 2nd marriage of 25 years with his and hers children from previous marriages) a split isn’t a good thing this late in life – even though he completely surprised me with his infidelities and I am deeply hurt and saddened.

We are well off enough that each could take 1/2 and move on and not be too bad off financially – but it would be a major lifestyle hit. (I would probably move to another state to be near my children and grandkids) I also have to push my feelings aside and calculate – chances are pretty good I will outlive him. If I do, then the other 1/2 of the estate will ensure I’m not struggling later on and ultimately go to my heirs. (Not his). My biggest fear is that if I passed first, the script would flip and my kids would get nothing. I really don’t want to bring any of this up and give him ideas! Not so easy to stay in it then maybe – at least without some kind of legal assurances. It’s a mess either way.

Comment on Sending Christmas Cards, A Dying Tradition by Diane Svoboda

In reply to Diana @ looking.

I totally agree with your comment…”Email is nice but it doesn’t say I care the same way an envelope in the letterbox does.” My card list has gotten smaller as people have died or moved away and out of my life, but I still love to get cards and send them. It’s the only time of the year you can say “yes, I don’t see you often, but I wish you a happy Christmas and happy and healthy new year.”

I totally believe Christmas cards are not only a wonderful tradition, but a way to stay in touch with relatives and friends that you might only see once a year or at a funeral or wedding. It’s a lovely tradition to continue. I suspect those who don’t want to send cards are to lazy or self-absorbed to bother. I feel that it is a great way to stay in touch with others…to let them know that I still think about them even though it is hard or impossible to get together in life.

I too have noticed the decline in Christmas cards, and I do not like it. Every year I always write a Christmas letter to up date people I haven’t seen all year. I received a card from a friend one time, and the words were “No special occassion, I just thought you’d like to receive something other than bills for a change.” I always think of those words, and I love and save every card, so on a bummer day, I can read them, and it lifts my spirits. Whether they are glittery, new or old fashioned I love them all-it is only once a year–so please do not quit this beautiful tradition, and if you are sstrapped for postage, do like I do-hand deliver as many as you can to their homes, and maybe you will have time to visit!
