Also, if you need, print out this thread onto little note cards for quick reference if you need them. I can create a list of witty anecdotes that you can randomly pull out and use at a moments notice if you'd like.[DOUBLEPOST=1358293470][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't think it's really arguing, so much as correcting.

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering.


Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is finished.



In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.



A husband said to his wife, "No, I don't hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine."



After a quarrel, a husband said to his wife, "You know, I was a fool when I married you." She replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice."


These are sure to get you all sorts of,er... attention... at the wedding. Enjoy!

I removed her picture to protect the innocent. I posted it initially in a moment of wekaness because I felt like showing off a little.

Hahah I was wondering when someone would call me out on this. When I posted the OP I basically already had the girl in mind that I was gonna ask, based on the suggestion of the girl I "broke up with". They're best friends.

The OKC girl basically decided on Sunday that she's not in a stable enough lifestyle to support a relationship and doesn't think her dog-heavy lifestlye will support my constant allergy issues. So she told me she wasn't gonna lead me on anymore and that she'd like to still be friends. She told me all this basically as I asked her about the wedding, but I felt we were headed in this direction anyway so it wasn't something that took me more than like 2 days to get over. She said she'd still go with me if I wanted, I told her that probably was not a good idea, and she suggested I ask the girl I DID ask instead. Which I was already sorta mulling over.

So the girl I'm going with now is either a super good friend to both her and I, and wants me to make the transition easily and so is enabling my wedding plans, OR she's genuinely interested in going with me despite the "break-up" with her bestie. She's apparently mentioned to OKC Girl in the past that she would totally go out with me too if not for her cats (which incidentally are much less of a problem for me than dogs). So maybe something could happen here. She does seem excited to hang out with me both before and at the wedding, and to get drunk and share a hotel room. I'm trying to not get my hopes up as far as that's concerned - I don't need to read too much into soemthing and friend-zone myself again.

So that's been everything from the last couple days. And why it's been a rollercoaster of emotion.

Quothe the raven: Nevermore!

Oral antihistamines (pills and liquids) ease symptoms such as swelling, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and hives (urticaria). Over-the-counter oral antihistamines include loratadine (Claritin) and cetirizine (Zyrtec). Desloratadine (Clarinex) and levocetirizine (Xyzal) are available by prescription. Fexofenadine (Allegra) is available both over-the-counter and by prescription. Some oral antihistamines may cause dry mouth and drowsiness. Older antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) and clemastine (Tavist) are more likely to cause drowsiness and slow your reaction time. These sedating antihistamines shouldn't be taken when driving or doing other potentially dangerous activities.

That and offering to vacuum for her occasionally should take care of things. I've found Zyrtec works well for me, my father uses allegra, and I know people who find claritin works best for them. Pets are generally an easy hurdle - don't let them keep you from finding love.

Claritin works great for me, at least for a few hours. Her concerns were more long-term - if we eventually move in together, will I be drugged the whole time? Will I eventually build up an immunity? Who knows!?

Honestly, between us, I think the allergies suck and all, but it seems like a lame excuse. I think she's not ready for something and as opposed to having me just wait for her, she's cutting it off.

I did zyrtec when we had a cat, and never seemed to develop a tolerance. In fact it took about a week for it to work all day, the first few days it did only seem to work for a few hours after I took it. If you take it regularly you won't notice the side effects (as far as I could tell there weren't any, and I really don't like taking even ibuprofen if I can avoid it as it makes me feel fuzzy headed), and it will eventually work all day. I'm told that's common for most 24 hour antihistamines - taking it regularly is required for it to last the full 24 hours.

When the cat died, I stopped taking them.

Either way, it may seem like a lame excuse, but if you avoid going over there, and when you do you're sniffly and rubbing your eyes the entire time, she's going to dump you before it gets serious. You have to decide if you're going to fix the problem, because she's not going to do it for you, and she doesn't want to feel like she's making you uncomfortable. If the relationship is worth it next time, consider visiting your doctor or trying one of these medications. While I wouldn't go so far as to suggest allergies are debilitating for you, it's obvious that yours are getting in the way of your life, and you are doing things differently than you would if you didn't have to deal with them. If that's the decision you've made, that's fine - I know people with allergies who choose to live in a way that prevents the allergies from being triggered without drugs. They miss out on some things, but they eventually get everything they want.

Something to consider, anyway.

I did all that, shy of getting a doctor's advice, because I didn't want things to get that seriosu that fast. It's not like either of us were in the state where we could move in together ANYTIME soon, and Claritin was good enough for the handful of times I stayed over.

Again, I think she was looknig for an excuse.
