Do you change at all based on who is closest to you at the time?

I feel like my lifestyle, my behaviors, what I do for fun, changes a lot depending on who I'm dating.

The things I DO certainly change depending on who I am dating or to whom I am married. The second ex, for example, was an outdoors person and loved fishing, boating, camping and hiking. I LEARNED to love those things also, because I had never been exposed to them before.

The third ex loved to hang out in bars, smoke pot, snort coke, play pool and video games...and again...I had never been exposed to that before. I can't say I didn't LIKE to party hard, but it certainly isn't good for you.

@4meAndyou I can't picture you as a hard party type

@JohnnyNoir True, but it is terrible what a bad influence, especially one that the person loves, can do.

@AbbeyRhode I know just how true that is.

@JohnnyNoir Me, too. I hope you got out of that relationship.
4meAndyou · F
@AbbeyRhode Yes. Eventually, I calmed him down a little bit...but he had a lot of bad habits.

@AbbeyRhode oh yeah. That ended years ago. Should have known better

@4meAndyou Nice to hear you were a good influence. :)
@JohnnyNoir The mind might know better, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

@AbbeyRhode a lesson learned the hard way
AbbeyRhode · F
@JohnnyNoir True, and it makes one appreciate a better relationship all the more. :)

@AbbeyRhode true. It also supplied me with quite a few red flags to look for
