Ok maybe not a book, but certainly a list Ok do you have a list of NEVERS meaning that you have done something in the past and have vowed to yourself an oath that you will NEVER EVER EVER do it again for the rest of your natural? Go on think there must be something you have done or did and regretted it and thought I will NEVER do that for as long as I live Ok I will start you off I will NEVER move in with anyone again! After spending 9 years living with my ex's it was 9 years of hell and I would never do it again. I am far too independent to live with someone, I like my own space, no one telling me what to do, no nagging, no arguments, no fights, BLISS! I would also say I would NEVER get into another relationship again either! I have swore a life of being single too. I know you should never say never! But that is one thing I have promised and swore to myself NEVER NEVER again! So how bout you, would you never marry again, never fly again, never eat a certain food again, never let anyone walk all over you again

LOL There are some mevers I won't repeat on open forum just now my darling brother but one I can say is I will NEVER eat fish again, nor will I ever lick a battery to see what happens or get drunk and experiment with how it is that men can pee standing up! I am not trying to trivialise your post sweety - you know I am not , I am SO proud of how you have turned things around over the time we have known each other but I do wish you wouldn't say NEVER about a relationship - there are some good catches out there you know and I just so want you to be as happy as you can be! xxx

We need a get together and we can really let rip can't we and we won't have to worry about a forum or a computer getting in the way. I am happy without a partner and judging by my history I am not safe picking one I always pick up the cast of The Munsters. I am absolutely hopeless, so it's safer to shut down that way I protect myself. Liars, cheats, manipulators, control freaks and plain weird I've had a bellyful of them, maybe in my next life I will try again and hopefully I would have tuned my antenna better by then, cos they're bleeding wonky ;0)

I will never ever fly without an assistant again. The one time I did it, in my entire life, they forgot me on the airplane. The airline people were supposed to come lift me off and put me on my next flight as I can't walk, but they forgot I was coming and the cleaning crew had to inform them. By the time they got me off, I had missed my flight and was abandoned in New Jersey en route to Michigan where I had an assistant waiting for me for 17 hours. Needless to say, I ended up not paying for that flight, but I will never risk it again. I don't care how long the flight is even if it's only half an hour.

I will never get a plastic carrier bag again. I am trying to do more to help the world. When I go shopping in a supermarket I will take jute carrier bags. If I am out and I go into a shop and I realize that I don't have any of my jute carrier bags with me I will bring out one of the material carrier bags that are in my hand bag. I know what you mean about moving in with someone and then how upsetting it is when things turn nasty. I think going out together on dates is far better than moving in together. I got married in 1994 then got divorced in 1999. Getting divorced is a painful experience and so I will never divorce again. I have no plans to get married. I think that being single is a delightful life. A person has their own space and there own way when it comes to planning a holiday. Once a person has got away from a horrible ex-partner they can enjoy a wonderful freedom. I like your idea of A Book of Never will I ... my friend Wolfie. I am so pleased that you are happy and I wish you good luck.

If everyone thought your way, plastic bag usage would crash and think how much that would make a difference, but sadly you are in the minority, good for you my friend. Least I will never go through a divorce that's something I don't have to worry about or the expense of a wedding either. Both my aunts went through bitter divorces and my aunts husband actually slept with the woman next door how evil is that?? And with two young kiddies as well, life can be shite at times. Enjoy being single my friend and besides think of all that travelling you can do alone, wonderful. We take freedom for granted too much!

OMG! You sound just like me. I hated being married. Loved having the kids though and if I had it to do over again their dad would have been a turkey baster. As you say, never say never, but I've been single for some time now and I like it that way. I have a list of husband qualities I'm looking for. I'm told I'm too picky. I don't think so.

Hi Wolfie, I would never say never as a first so therefore that leaves me open to doing something again at some stage, I always do something at least twice to make sure it was really as good or as bad as it seemed on the first occasion LOL. I too like you love my own space and am very independent and couldn't imagine ever living with anyone else again but at the same time if the right guy did come along, maybe I would, for now like you I am enjoying the single life. From what I can gather about you ex was that he was very controlling so I can imagine how much you are enjoying freedom right now. Ellie :D

Well I tried living with someone TWICE just to make sure and it was like NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! We all need our own space and even more importantly our FREEDOM and it's amazing how we take freedom for granted.

I have said I would never marry again. I've been happily married for about a hundred years now but still have days when it's hard to live with him. If we weren't together for any reason I would be quite happy to live on my own. There are probably lots of other things I said I would never do but still did tham again.

I will not give in to people who wish to make my personal business theirs. I will not go back arround certain people because I think they have sweet words and terrible actions.I will not allow people who have taken advantage of my good nature to ever be back in my life. I will not listen to anymore lies. Thats the biggest I will never ,that I have.

I've said a couple of times now that I won't live with anyone again. The second last time I went back on my word and my ex and I got a house together. It wasn't bad like with you and your ex but it was very damaging in a different way. I swore again not to do it and still, I've wanted to be close to someone. I think now, it's not meant to be for me so I'm planning the rest of my life to be alone. My daughter says "Don't give up on people Mum" but it seems to be necessary and inevitable.

I learned to never say never. [e,]happy[/em] I grew up in the north, then lived in TX and FL and swore I would never, ever, ever live where there are months of snow and cold weather. Right. I married my hubby 3+ years ago, and he's never lived anywhere but Ohio. So guess where I am... And the first year we were married...the first snow was way before Thanksgiving and about 9 inches. Figures.

I would never eat food again if I don't know how it was cooked. The last I did, my stomach kicked me.LOL I would never trust anyone again, I know now I can only rust my family. I would never open myself to anyone again, specially my relatives, they hurt me so much an I don't want to feel that pain again. I will never spend so much for Avon. LOl I still have a lot of never ending never list to do, but that's all I could think of now.

I will never trust any one easily.Since for the last two years,I trust my employer,worked so hard that I've sacrificed much of my spare time,always working hard.But then I found she was not sincere to me to such an extent that maybe she thought I was an idiot!So you can guess how awful it feels! And another case is with one of my colleague,I looked on her as a real friend and I treat her very well,invited her to dinner quite often,and also helped her sometimes at work.But then it happened when it came to things concerned with self interest,you can not imagine how she performed...Really disgusting.From this experience,I'd already swore that in the future,in no ways should I trust anyone again.It just seems that nowadays,people is not sincere to each other any more.How disappointing,Right?

I will never regret anything that I do because at one time in my life it will have been exactly what I wanted. I will never pretend to be ignorant about something just because I don't want to help someone. I will never live outside of my means, if I can afford the wants in my life but can't afford the needs, then clearly something is wrong. I will never say I hate someone.

If I were to lose this husband, I would never marry again. I love him, but we have made some awful mistakes. I will not be that lonely again that I will have to marry. Of course we are both going to live to a ripe old age, so that is not going to happen. I think there are some other things, like "I will never be owned by my closet again."

At this point I can only think of one never AGAIN! We allowed a friend of ours to move into our home. He was having dual knee surgery over a 2 year period. And he was going to need assistance in recooperation. Well, that has been through and finished for quite some time. We find ourselves pregnant with our second and final child. We need the room. And he is dragging his feet in leaving. So NEVER again!

Hmmm as they say never say never but of course there are things that I would never do again. 1. I'll never eat spicy baked mussels again because I got sick after eating those. 2. I'll never take my studies for granted again. 3. I'll never accept a job again where I won't be happy. 4. I'll never give up on any challenge that will come no matter how big or small it is. 5. I'll never let others tell me what I want to do because I'm the only one who knows it.
