re: IM driving to the store because my wife locked her keys in her car.

our defense made multiple stops in the 2nd and 3rd quarter but we couldnt cash in. and then when manziel went down, fricking joeckel blew a wide open hicks in the flat who would have walked in. just an overall incredibly frustrating weekend

Uh oh she didn't give you the "I'm scared of getting too close" talk did she?

Nah, it was kind of weird. Apparently she has struggled with depression and it has recently really gotten bad she says. She says she has had suicidal thoughts and the like. She also just gotten on anti-depressants. She was all weirded out and telling me how I deserved someone better and deserved to be with someone normal (which really scared the shite out of me).

It was a really nerve-racking conversation, but I told her that I was with her through all of this and that it didn't change the way I felt about her a bit. I think I was finally able to break through a bit and make her feel some what better.

I'm not sure if there was something that has caused her depression to worsen recently or if she was just freaking out because she knew she was depressed and was worried how I would handle it.

You missed Sorantables thread. We already discussed that she isn't preggers.

Dad is a PE, so I have some knowledge of that as well. Not really sure if I want to follow in that path, but the $100k/yr starting salary his company offers fresh graduating undergrads is kind of tempting.

You can get in the industry without being a PE. The majority of the tools guys are mechanical engineers that get paid really well and don't know shite about a lot of petroleum stuff. It's our economies driver, there are PLENTY of paths to take.

I can say the same for me. It was a lot of fun.

I've been there. Got through it by opening up. Be careful GWT, you're about to take on a very important role in this girl's life. And on principle I will kick your arse if you screw up what you have going with her.

Did said email motivate you to try to get off earlier

Knew you would be...those pics did her very little justice and she's a really sweet person

If she has an underlying issue about depression she's not gonna have self esteem enough and that is usually common even if it scared you don't let it...the only thing you might have to work harder at is building her self-esteem and some cases it's worth it I have experience

Depression can be crippling emotionally at times and when/if it gets that bad you just have to be strong so the fact that she's sharing this with you means she is starting to trust you...which is key with someone with low self-esteem so don't break it for any reason

I am aware of it and I am nervous, but I believe I am fully ready for this. When I thought about her taking a break from school and spending time with me, the happiest part about that for me wasn't actually that I was going to see her, but that I was going to be able to be there for her when she needed me. I absolutely hate seeing he like this and want nothing more than to be able to make her smile and laugh when I can and be a pillar for her to lean on when she needs it.

I feel so weird opening up and saying this, but I just think this girl is special. When she was telling me how I deserved better she said that she didn't want to hurt me and I told her that the only thing that could hurt me was losing her. Like, I'm treading into new waters here. I'm feeling things and thinking about things I've never done before when it comes to a relationship. I have a really weird nervous, excited energy about this whole thing.

I talk to her and when I'm done all I want to do is talk to people about her. (case in point: see my main topic of discussion in the IM thread for the last few weeks).

And AnThat, I would hope for no less. I hope this entire board kicks my arse if I end up breaking this girl's heart.

So whats going on in here.

Sup fellas.

So are we getting place settings candle sticks or a nice blender for his gift?

I think Craigslist would be a good starting point for our shopping.
