RE: Supporting a Friend Who Is Grieving

In my opinion there is nothing anyone can say or do. my wife passed away six mth's ago . and that left a massive hole in my life. I went back to work a week after her funeral . my boss was understanding with everything . on my return to work I told my supervisor I wanted everyone to just treat me normal no tip toeing around me . and that's what I got. life and death share the same street .and that's the way I look at it . she's on the other side of the road waiting for me to cross when there will be a gap in the traffic who knows . and now I am working to reduce the size of the hole she left

RE: How to Cope with a Stubborn Child

it's a generation thing. i was born in the sixties . no mobile phones no x box no ps4 as kids we at to make our own entertainment . great fun times when I think back . nowadays kids just have to say I want and it's there for them . and as the years go by it's getting worse . and all that dose is create kids with no respect at all with no value of anything because it's all come to them so easy. and todays world is just full of Wayne and Waynetta's slobs who drag there kids up give them every thing they want even though they can't afford it. and the sad bit is those kids are growing up and creating more slobs with no value on anything
SLOBS RAISE YOUR KIDS DON'T DRAG THEM UP TEACH THEM THE WORD NO

Since each of you made your posts quite some time ago, perhaps you will not see this. However, I want to say that I agree with what each of you said 100 %. NO ONE should ever detour from being their true self to impress someone or to gain their approval.

However, certain things, such as cleanliness, not using offensive language in public, and other society norms should be followed. Unless an individual is homeless; if one is able to smell your distinct body odor 1/4 block away, get a clue !!! Also, use of profanity; although it seems to be more prevalent in todays age, by BOTH men and women, just isn't acceptable in certain circumstances.

There are other things which some people do, which are offensive to others, but I do not have the right to tell anyone else how they should behave. It has already been stated that by one's actions, they may be hurting themselves, but if they don't care; so be it.

RE: Supporting a Friend Who Is Grieving

Coming from the grieving side of this article, I want to apologies for the outbursts of anger! I'm always a very calm and relaxed person, but recently the ballast in the kitchen light went bad, and I was having a hard time deciding what kind of light to replace it with because the interior design of our home was always my late wife's domain (she had been gone 4 months at this point). When I was talking to my friend about how I was having a hard time deciding what kind of light to replace the bad one in the kitchen with, she suggested I try to make the house more to my own. Before I even realized what I was saying out shot "I don't want the house, I want my f*%*ing wife back!". I felt so horrible! Lucky she was understanding but damn, that was SO out of character for me!

RE: Forget Bad Boys: Women Like their Dating Partners to be Gentlemen

As a gentleman by nature I've found that acting in this way does very little to impress ladies of less than.. say 30, and often older than that.
When I was younger the ONLY possible chance I had at getting a date was to ACT like a bad boy. If you polite and caring, you're not worth their time.
I met my wife 12 years ago, and I opened doors for her (and treated her as my most trusted partner in life) until the day she died. I tried going on a date not along ago, and she insisted on paying for her half of the meal and was offended that I opened doors. We're still good friends (I wasn't ready to date yet, but tired of being alone ALL the time), so it wasn't that she wasn't interested. When did having respect for women turn into showing disrespect? Just because someone opens a door doesn't mean they think you're incapable of doing it yourself.

RE: Possible Reasons Your Relationship Failed

I know there are some very good points with why some relationships fail, I donot have a great track record myself. I grew up as a fat kid, life was hard at school and home. I grew up not letting girls know I like them as if I did they themselves would be teased so keep my feeling to myself. This way of life I took into young adult hood so when I like a lady I didn't let them know as then I didn't want to lose a friend, me thinking they would run a mile from me. Over the years there have been some truly gorgeous ladies I fell for, not just talking about there bodies here, they were so beautiful in their hearts. I just didn't let them know I liked them as I still carried the fat kid way of life with me. I am grateful for having such beautiful friends at the time.
I have tho jumped in with all four feet so to speak and been married twice in life and have two divorces to go with them. I have some awesome kids a dad could ever hope for tho now still live life on my own.
I feel with a lot of relationships when two people get together it is all great at the time, we think we may know each other well and in some cases this might be true. I think any relationship that is love only will not last, it need real and true friendship.
I look now at it as the earth is the friendship, love is the roots of the tree, if there is a soild base of friendship for love to grow then the relationship has the best chance of living. when there is strong winds and storms, as in arguments and mis understandings if the love is held strong then the relationship will survive. If the relationship is love only then when the same storm hits it blows at the tree, any friendship, ( earth), maybe moved and even if the relationship lives it is weaken so when the next storm comes or the one after there will come a time when love is lost and if there is no real friendship to hold it together to re new love then the mighty tree falls and dies, as does the love and the relationship.
If people want to help keep love strong also keep their friendship strong, I do hope to share love and life with someone again one day, and have a friendship that is just as important a long with all that goes well in a relationship. I maybe way off base with my thoughts, being single for so long now I forget what it is like to have a friend let a lone a relationship... I am not sad or lonely tho... just living life with what I have...

RE: 10 Reasons to Avoid Dating a Married Man

I disagree with the author of this blog. The reasons are below.

Firstly, polygyny has economic, social and health advantages over monogamy. Encyclopedia Britannica (1998) states, "Polygyny has several economic, social, and health advantages over monogamy. In most cultures, women contribute significantly to the wealth of the household and can thus materially benefit from the labour of an additional spouse. Where mortality rates of men consistently exceed those of women, polygyny can be seen as a resolution to the “deficit” of males and the “surplus” of females."

Hence polygyny should be an alternative to these social issues.
