A. Alone. Hoping I find a lifetime partner.
If I don’t find him, then it is better to have loved, than to never have loved at all.
You cannot spend your life being disrespected. You have to stand alone sometimes than to be treated like a doormat.

A. Not at all. 🙂 I have never resided in America, however, I have visited California, during a holiday. I have never lived in the USA though.
To be perfectly honest, I have never thought about living abroad, away from England. I happen to love my home country. It has never been an issue.
I have lived abroad, however, it was only temporarily and I felt quite homesick whilst living away. I am always glad to be home every single time I go away. 🙂
There’s no place like home. 😀

Q. SmileyRose have you ever tried reverse psychology? What is it? Does it work?
A. 😀 Reverse psychology refers to getting another person to do or say something by telling them the opposite of what is desired. It’s a common tactic commonly found in advertising and even parenting and can be a great skill.
Yes, I have used it. It can work when skilfully used. 😀
An example of reverse Psychology: You can tell your child “Not to tidy their room,” in the hope they may tidy it. 🙂
Reverse psychology can backfire though, so be very careful if you start to play silly games with people’s lives. Reverse psychology is a persuasion tactic that can often leave people feeling manipulated. If a person feels like you are always using this technique to get them to do what “you” want, they may reach a point where they feel that they cannot trust you anymore.

Q. Would I ever date an ex partner?
A. I don’t think so. You see that person would be an ex-partner, for a good reason. Even if you loved him once, it would be very awkward to form a bond with him again, once you’ve been hurt by him. Sometimes it is far better to sever all ties and to start again, with someone new.
Ask yourself one question, why did he hurt you? If you have felt a strong and passionate love for someone and then he hurts you deeply, those memories never really go away, no matter what anyone says.
If he has deeply hurt you. Can you forget that feeling? Can you forget how he made you cry and sob on your pillow, whilst you tried so hard to get some sleep? Can you really fall in love with the same man again, after he has hurt you badly?

A. Lol are you seriously asking me this question?
I suppose some men do not get it! If a man wants to be with someone else who dresses more provocatively than I do, and he sways towards her rather than me, I am not going to let myself down by behaving like her too. I have pride in myself. I like myself and nobody else is ever going to make me lose my self-respect. I would sooner wait for a nicer guy to come along. Someone who will sweep me off my feet. 🙂
Q. Are you a Grandmother yet SmileyRose?
A. Unfortunately not yet. Maybe one day in the future who knows? I know that I shall shower my grandchild with lots of “love” when I do become a Grandmother one say, just like I did with my children. 🙂
