Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» I KNOW you love your mate. Do you like him/her? Are you getting on each other's nerves being cooped up together for so long?
She's my best friend as well as my SO. We enjoy each other's company. We give each other space when necessary. Right now I'm consoling her by poking chocolate between the bars of her cage - her rugby team just lost the Grand Final.

Ditto for us R...as you know very well by now. I wonder how many couples never realized being cooped up together for endless amounts of time....together alone with no other "company"...could be a real downer. HER rugby team? Not the same as YOURS? So hers lost. Does that mean that yours won? I kinda sorta understand. Generally Jim and I root for the same tennis players except he is a huge fan of novak djokovic and I'm not. So I always hope novak will lose and Jim hopes he will win. Usually it's novak and Jim never rubs it is in nor do I when on rare occasion novak gets beaten. But I do not try to hide my joy either! Thank you for your reply and Happy almost Monday? :)
I didn't have a dog in the fight, my team ceased to exist many moons ago (the Balmain Tigers were merged with Wests Magpies - "Balmain boys don't cry" and we DON'T root for the unprintable 'pies!). I follow a different code altogether - Australian football, very different from rugby. The MIGHTY Adelaide Crows finished in the cellar this year :-( Maureen is a Penrith Panthers fan - her sister once dated a former Panthers player and they remained friends. They lost by six. To give you an analogy that you're more likely to understand, I'll use American football as a reference - Penrith scored a touchdown with seconds left on the clock to bring them within six points, and declined the PAT to give themselves one more play. The Hail Mary failed.

Excellent m2c. Spousal abuse is more prevalent now I have read. And that must be a consequence of not really LIKING your mate. I mean sometimes you're on different pages but so what? I just don't understand being unkind or mean or cruel or abusive just because folks are forced to be in each other's company day after day after day. I don't and it makes me sad because I think that means they are living lies. They get along as long as they spend LESS TIME together! Seriously. How sad is that? Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee and thine! :)
