His father's death was a reminder of the 'fleeting nature of life' and all that romantic/poetic tripe. lol But it made Roger look at his own kids and want to be with them more just for a start. Not to mention a wish to be with the person he loves. So to be hit with one loss followed so closely by another is hard to take. And I think a lot of that aided what he said to her.

But what are they? xD <br /><br />Nah, they haven't spent much time together, but at the same time, she does yell lustily for his assistance anytime life gets hard. She won't have that any longer. <br /><br />Ah, a lot of his thinking there is influence by what he does everyday. He's paid to be suspicious and to look for potential underhanded dealings. Does that mean he's right? Not necessarily. But hurt people are rarely wise with their words. ;)<br /><br />Thank you!

So yeah, she wiffed that one bad. lol<br /><br />Roger will do his best to stay safe. If nothing else, he does want to be around for his kids. And that's pretty astute! His line of work, and whom he now works with, has colored his thinking quite a bit. Does that mean he's wrong? We'll see.<br /><br />Yes.it.is! lol<br /><br />Thank you! Oh no!

And self doubt? Oh yeah. And Absolutely! Mariah doesn't realize how much she's used Roger, What's to come will be quite a learning experience for her.<br /><br />Roger isn't going to forget about what's due to his kids in his care of himself. He also will make sure he gets to see them as often as he can. We just might not see him as much. lol<br /><br />Thank you! I worked hard on those. HA!

Hubs and I are forever saying "If wishes were fishes" to one another for the fun of saying it. lol<br /><br />Their relationship had reached the point where it was stagnant to Roger and he's not one to sit still and take life as it comes. He might not be a forceful person, but he also realizes you have to continue to move forward in life. I think the sting he felt was more about finding out that she wasn't the person he thought she was. Most of their friendship he's put her on a pedestal and attributed a lot of qualities to her she didn't/doesn't have. That disillusion is going to be more heartbreaking to him than the disappointment of her rejection.<br /><br />Yeah. She's got quite a bit to work on doesn't she? Then again, her moral base wasn't ever very well developed to begin with. ;) <br /><br />Thank you!

Aw. yeah. Poor Roger. ...We had a blast! Thank you!<br /><br />Aw. yeah. Poor Roger. He took a tough situation and both relieved it and made it harder. But they couldn't keep up doing the long distance thing forever. <br /><br />Is he right, is he wrong, we'll find out. :D<br /><br />Yup! She's in for quite a surprise too, I think. Anytime she needed Roger all she had to do was call and he'd run. She no longer has that luxury and will have to learn a new set of rules for the world around her. <br /><br />Lol.

I...:( I'm not really sure who I feel worse for. I feel really terrible for Roger - being rejected like that must be terrible, and Mariah's attempts to make it sound better only made it worse. But, at the same time, I feel like Roger jumped too easily to conclusions. She doesn't want to marry him...so that means she <i>must</i> still love Andre? I don't really think she still holds a candle for Andre, but I do think she did the right thing by not accepting Roger's proposal.<br /><br />Enjoy your vacation!convicteddreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812626414525441171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-10402239034851181062015-04-19T01:23:02.634-05:002015-04-19T01:23:02.634-05:00I did that thing with my Nook again ::hangs head::...I did that thing with my Nook again ::hangs head:: <br /><br />*sigh* Well you already know some of my reaction to this, lol. I still want to throttle her. "He didn't meant it?" GRRRRRR >_< My poor sweet Roger. The things she's saying, just....*sigh* No one else knows? No embarrassment factor? I'm with Roger on this. 5 years is long a'damn nuff. <br /><br />I am sure, though, that the factor of his father's recent decent could not have helped matters a bit. That's just a rough time to be dealing with emotions in general, let alone having your marriage proposal turned down by the girl you've loved for forever. It's heart breaking. I still can't believe she actually has feelings for Andre, that she didn't deny it. I kind of hope Andre dies at this point. <br /><br />;) Mistyhttp://www.simsl3gacies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-62808421134558093532015-04-17T08:23:10.787-05:002015-04-17T08:23:10.787-05:00That was a really sad "aha moment" for R...That was a really sad "aha moment" for Roger, poor man. Those pics really tugged at my heart strings. Still, I guess I'm the only one here who thinks there are a few other valid reasons than Andre or Mariah's emotional damage that makes her not want to marry him, at least not at this point. And yes 5 years and three kids should perhaps be enough, but they haven't spent much of that time actually together at the same place. I don't know, even if seeing him all distraught was heartbreaking, I'm still not 100 % Team Roger here. And to immediately jump from a rejected proposal to all kinds of speculations.. Maybe he's right, or maybe he should just deal with NO for now and lick his wounds, without throwing accusations around. <br /><br />Beautifully written and posed as usual.

I don't blame him for not being okay with second place. Especially when second place is still arm's distance away. He shouldn't be stuck trying to convince himself of her feelings for him and shrug off her behavior. She may cite wanting to prove that she is independent but she has been taking care of herself for a long time. Long before she was ever truly alone so whether she can do it or not really isn't the question. Her issues run deeper than that. Whether it's still love for Andre (to me) seems inconsequential. Actions speak louder than words and Mariah's words speak volumes. Whatever she does feel for Roger isn't important enough to be #1 (or even #2 after the children) to her and that's what matters.heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461257842343457492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-19006505412676834212015-04-16T16:36:12.061-05:002015-04-16T16:36:12.061-05:00Nicely written.

Oh, beautifully done---but so sad! *cries* Poor Roger and Mariah. =(<br /><br /> I hope that with this time apart, both of them are able to think a little more clearly, and see how both of them could be wrong. On Roger's part---I really don't think Mariah is still IN love with Andre, but past mistakes have a way of making you doubt yourself, and Mariah already had some pretty big issues just from her childhood that I don't think she has worked through either. Combine those two--and wowsers! lol As for Mariah, she needs to figure out that just because you are with somebody, doesn't make you any less independent, any less a person. It's okay to lean on people. I don't think she ever had that option as a kid though, because of the way Layla was.<br /> I'm a little worried about Roger---I hope he keeps himself safe and remembers that he does still have children that need him!<br /><br /> Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it---I think Mariah is going to find out that going it all alone isn't what it's cracked up to be.<br /><br /> Whelp, there's my armchair diagnosis, lol :P<br /><br /> You did a lovely job on the poses! I hope you release them someday. That last one was really heartbreaking!<br /><br /> Have a fun, safe trip! =)Nirarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253184399668018141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-48599048255310403212015-04-16T14:13:37.996-05:002015-04-16T14:13:37.996-05:00Roger crying is to sad, and a real cry to, not a m...Roger crying is to sad, and a real cry to, not a mancry. Great chapter, sad but good. Roger doesn't know who Mariah is, but maybe she doesn't know either. She kind of had that breakup coming though. Roger ain't that patient. <br /><br />Can she really still have feelings for André? He's so... meh.

I&#...I'm honestly not sure what to say...<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />I'm not surprised that she might (or at least may be thought to) still hold a candle to Andre, after all, he was her first proper boyfriend, but... I dunno. Part of me wishes (that doesn't seem like a word, is it one? Of course it is, it just seems to 's'-ish) she could remember the hurt she was put through. I guess you can't deny feelings for people even if you don't want to feel them.<br /><br />Neither am I surprised that this would be the end for Roger and Mariah, I mean, no one can bounce back from a rejected proposal, he even had a dream and everything about her wanting to marry him. Just imagine the sting he must be feeling, knowing that the girl he loves still holds a flame for the guy who left her all alone and while he picked up the pieces of her heart, she picked up a sledgehammer and broke his. <br /><br />I'm not sure what to think of Mariah right now; I'm a little dubious of her at the moment. Although, I have to agree with her on the awkward feeling when a guy cries. <br /><br />Anyhoo, have a happy holiday! :) FutureCarrie?https://www.blogger.com/profile/18093792281240235088noreply@blogger.com
