Welcome Neenay! 
We have something in common - my eldest has just finished Uni too.  I am SS Maksyl's night watch.  Here in Australia, we are 13.5 hours ahead of DWTS board time.  So expect to wake up to my serial postings during the lone hours of your night.

I will probably check up on how things are going on this board in a few days, but I am going to step away for awhile.  My reasons are identical to Tango's reasons.  I do not for a minute believe that Maks is falling apart.  And I can't say that he is reverting to his bad boy ways because I do not believe he was a bad boy any more than Val, or Derek or Mark or Tony is a bad boy.  And I most defintiely do not believe, based on the evidence, that he is being disrespectful to Meryl and hurting her.  The evidence based on a pattern of what they do when either of them is out of the country, is that MnM do communicate on a regular basis.  That pattern continued today.  I am confident that whether as a sweetheart or as an amazing friend, Meryl knew all about this trip before any of us did  because MnM talked about it. People are telling him he needs to ask for forgiveness.  Others are saying that he needs to crawl.  I think his instagram picture of the writing on the wall and Lizzie's tweet all point to this. He is not doing anything wrong, and this includes the fact that he is not hurting Meryl.  My opinion is so contrary to what is being said on this board that I feel it is best for me to take this break. I do not want to offend anyone.  Even more I do not want to say something to someone that will hurt or wound them.  We went from saying "LIsten to Maks" to questioning his very integrity in a matter of 24 to 36 hours.   

It has taken me so long to write this, edit it and rewrite it that probably all the rest of you have logged off.  Sweet dreams to all of you.  Gabriele, I think of you and your son a lot as I am becoming acquainted with the 21 year old autistic son of a friend of mine.  I spend time with him for several hours two days a week.  He is a sweetheart and madly in love with Disney. 

 
OH, KOS--thanks for posting that but I think we are just trying to figure out what is real. I really love to hear your perspective because you make so much sense--so please don't go (or at least DO come back). If we have dissed anyone, I don't think that is what we intended to do. I know that was never my intent. Please forgive me if I offended you.

Like you, I feel that MnM would have talked about this trip--and it was likely planned for a long time. I also do not think that the few photos that we've seen are horrific or even indicative of any "real" relationship with this bikini girl. I do HOPE and pray that you are correct and all is well with the world. I think it is safe to say that we ALL hope for that.

This might get way too looong.... KOS, please come back.  We need you to conduct the choir of fat ladies when we collectively decide it is time to sing.  My feet are firmly planted on the ship.  I have said that before.  You are not alone with Tango in your opinion and I appreciate that you have taken such a clear stance.  Being a late arrival, of a non-english speaking background, from the other end of the globe and without shipping or DWTS background, I often times feel it isn't up to me to argue when I perceive the general mood around me is turning.  Actually, I had written a post yesterday to point out that imo it is fine to stop shipping, but to pin it to the pictures in Italy is rather arbitrary.  But because a number of people seemed relieved at being 'freed', 'liberated' of their MnM obsession, I ended up hitting the back button, not wanting to disturb their newly found sense of wellness. 

KOS, I think you, Tango, Jet and myself, the accountant (sorry if I left anyone out) operate in similar ways.  Mind you, I am not trying to make a case here that MnM are an item (though I personally think they more likely have a future together in mind as the end result and I trust both their extraordinary determination).  Please correct me, but we know that DB is a 'professional escort'.  She makes money by being someone's date.  Maks met her through Nicole Volynets.  For all we know, he could gives her some business on the Cantamessa expense account.  It has been presented like a fact here that he personally forked out $50 for her.  We don't know what the arrangements for this trip are.  Would I prefer he was with a 'professional' or a new love interest.  The answer is obvious, but again we don't know.

Otherwise we have Jenna's pic of Meryl in front of his apartment recently and Maks' radio interview with cumulus in Detroit, they gave the public what they had to and the rest is theirs.  At that time, in all likelihood the Italy trip had been in the diary already, as you pointed out, KOS.  To be honest with you sisters, I am rather excited with this Italy weekend.  There is more activity on SM.  Our so reserved Meryl posted a song with little musical merit, but interesting lyrics and Maks and Lizzie feel the need to tweet their attitude too.  I'll sit back and enjoy the action!  At this point, I'm looking forward to the DWMLA opening and what we'll see there.  Apparently one of the tumblr girls is going, so it's going to be interesting.   With Meryl in Chicago on 9th, she may well turn up, officially if she is contractually allowed to or otherwise. It is rather far out of the way, but we can always hope. .

Just been to the abc dwts board.  I am taking liberty to bring view's last post over, as not everyone visits there anymore:-

"It has been a roller coaster ride, hasn't it. Mostly self-inflicted.  But I remind myself that just two weeks ago Meryl was at his apartment in LA  (pictured with Jenna) and a week before that Maks was in Michigan and gushing on, again, about what they have and how he loves that it's theirs (and not ours). ...
Because I'm not a teenager nor is this interest in MnM in any way a substitute for love, drama!, or emotional connection in my own life - I can ride the ups and downs, perhaps, better than the tumblr teens who are so invested.......Thanks for your reference to Ryan (Gosling) and Rachel...because sometimes I suspect that Meryl has asked for the relationship (oops...) amazing friendship to stay cool, casual, under the table, for a while  (Olympic year?) and if they still feel the same way about each other after that interim, then..  see where it takes them. BTW, remembering that Michigan trip, I've wondered how the off-board, general public took that admission of his to the radio interviewer, "but, uh, I'm actually having breakfast with Meryl Davis as we speak".  We know that he had just flown in that morning for the mall thing.  But that was quite a titillating bit of information to throw out to the general public, I thought, and yet no tweets or follow-ups from either of them to clarify or disclaim what could be construed. ...
But I'll post it because I care about us, and our relationship on this board.  I ship us.Let's hang in there 'til February's performance."

Hear, hear!
