The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.
I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.
The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise.
My mom drives me crazy sometimes but I have a good relationship with her.
Not to be weird but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom even though she passed away and I've been surprised at how much I've been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo but that's true.
I always knew I wanted kids but when my mom passed away I was like 'I want a bunch of kids. I want three kids or four kids and I want to have that relationship again.' I can't bring my mom back but I can have children.
My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.
I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will but I'd rather have a complicated misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.
When men hear women want a commitment they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.
It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
