All good things come to an end.

[asiafever]

It's hard to remember sometimes why we chose this path of punting. Sometimes you feel it would be easier (and cheaper) it seems to have found a different outlet. It has taken me to extraordinary places and introduced me to amazing people. None more so than the object of my recent affection. Previously I had been wary of ever getting too emotionally attached to a working girl, and so my deviation from this path has lead me, inexorably, to this point where the house of cards has toppled down.
To a single father society can be less than kind. Meeting women isn't easy as most you come across are themselves married, and with no family to assist there's no possibility of 'going out to pick up'. Hence my punting habit went from once every 6 months to regular. You feel guilty sometimes, but you have needs that must be met. Cleaning can wait. Shopping can wait. You hate the selfish part of you that judges these girls on their physical being, ignoring the heart and soul, then discarding them like half sucked oranges when the time is up. But not her, you broke your golden rules with her, and now are paying the price.
So as I sit here in the sun, reminiscing and mourning what could have been, I watch my young child play on the playground, in pure joy. She notices my melancholy, and comes over, wraps her arms around me and kisses my cheek.
"I love you" she whispers in my ear before running off to continue play. There can be no unconditional love like that of a young child. Pure and innocent.
I check my watch "5 more minutes darling", she looks disappointed, but then shrugs her shoulders and says "oh well, all good things come to an end..." prophetic stuff from a 6 year old... but message received.

Good luck my Princess, it was beautiful while it lasted...

A little reflection, self indulgent perhaps, but a reminder that in this game we play very little is made to last, enjoy the moment!

Never be afraid to try somethin'g new because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know.

Hi brother Gringo,

is that Mao Ying in your avatar photo, gee you are showing your mileage there my friend, and me too by pointing this out !!

For those brothers who are too young for her, this is the lady fighter who was Bruce Lee's sister who got attacked and killed herself in the movie Enter the Dragon:

Ha, ha, Ahlungor one for mature gents. Mao Ying aka, Lady Whirlwind aka Lady Kung Fu . The star of Broken Oath, Angry River and many more. The first female arsekicker to hit the big screen and as cute as a button.

Punting is like a dream its fun and when you wake up or leave then it is over until next time that's what makes it so good.

You can just take it or leave it make the most of it enjoy it and move on.

Sounds like he got involved with a WL and now it is over ...

Yep, that's a pretty concise summary!

[paulgallen]

SOO campaign over. absolutely gutted. need some punting to overcome it.

[charliesexy69]

Good for you Bro that you are sharing the pain here rather than holding on to it.
Emotional involvement is rare with the opposite sex for some of us and when it hits us it hits hard.
I see what you're going through mate!
I hope you get through it and out the other end feeling stronger.

From my past experiences i now make sure i have some woman to fall back on if this situation ever arises.
Between punting and dating websites (a member of 6 sites) i have plenty of variety. (Oh...i have one at home as well.)
I can't bone all the women i know but it is good to have them as friends still.

I might be next in line for punishment due to crossing the thin red line recently.
Very hard to pull up. :greedy:

[CunningLinguist]

Yep, that's a pretty concise summary!

I forgot to say your original post was nicely written!
Also if its any consolation the highs and the lows follow one another, as without any lows there are no highs ...

Nicely written from the heart.

Look at the bright side at least you have your real Princess which cannot be replace take strength from your six years old princess and you will eventually forget as she is the one who will always make you remember why you are here for :) or ease the pain.

Iexperiment youre dead right. That little comment alone from the little one gave me some perspective.

Cunninglinguist, precisely, you need to experience one to appreciate the other.

Salute to the great man.... love from your six year old and yours to her are the most valuable ...
