You know what sweet I am really glad to hear it and you are confident and sensible .
I think you're right, I have been feeling stronger and more confident than ever lately. I just feel ok with being single...I've come to a place in my life where I just feel content and happy to be alive and maybe they sense this.
zahra, Self love and respect cannot be stressed enough. I am glad to have learned this from my father may he rest in peace. This is what has saved me from living with this type of mistreatment or accepting in into my life! Great comment BTW
inthemind, Once again we will not allow ourself to put up with disrespect or an unfulfilled relationship if we value ourselves...I have always believed that self love comes first and have never been in a relationship which I am unsure of for very long.
RDM, I agree with the comment of keeping the kids out of any conflict between two adults. Me and my ex are still on good terms and I have always given my children the freedom to see their father keeping in mind that his blood also runs through their veins and any negativity toward him would send them a message of "there is something wrong with you" and I NEVER would do that to them.
H hhm, yep I think it definitely makes a difference when the other person is clear and open with you rather than leaving you to guess...the question of what is fair comes into play here
still, Could be true however, you have to admit that very rarely do we here about a man complaining about a woman "waisting his time" and I wonder why is this?
I have noticed one thing that most of my teenage children's friends who's parents are very conservation and rigid are the one most likely to rebel and get into the most trouble.
My daughter had a friend who was not a very good influence for a while and I was concerned so I decided to talk to the girl's mother well....the mom was nothing like I had expected. She was very conservative and told me that she has a "strict set of rules" for her daughter to follow and if she didn't she would be "kicked out of the house" ......her daughter now has a nose piercing, purple hair and is pregnant......I don't think its working
I'de like to add that it would be so much easier and less stressful if all men used the same approach when searching for a mate as they do when looking for a pair of pants:
Do they fit? Can I afford them and are they durable
I agree with all of your comments. I do think that its a cute gesture though I must confess that between the emails and flowers sometimes its easy to neglect the "flower box" at times but now and then I'll check and I think "oh, how sweet"
As far as sending flowers to a guy, I guess I'm old fashioned in that it feels funny to me but if both are comfortable with that I see nothing wrong with it.
BTW Here is a nice fresh bouquet for you men & a box of chocolate for being such great sports ...and I won't even expect any of you to "put out" hows that?
Ha Yeah Swiss, Doesn't that crack you up when they give you their email right away as if to say : "look I am so trustworthy that I am giving YOU my email address therefore I must be sincere right?"
Swan, Honey, you don't need luck. You're young , beautiful and sweet just try not to get too emotionally attached too fast. Take it slow and enjoy the ride! He sounds like a keeper!!
And if I may add, as far as career is concerned a man must also choose whether he wants a woman who has the kind of time to be there at his beck and call or a woman who is financially self sufficient...sorry can't have both
My daughter does rule the world in my heart ...she is my life and if a man who has never had children cannot understand the concept of unconditional love------>>>>
I give my children rules and structure but they ALWAYS come first. The fact that I am there for my family should be a sign to a man that I have integrity and substance. If he cannot see this , I do not need him in my life.
Nobody is strong and tough %100 of the time and we all have the need to break down and cry a little every now and then but don't ever let anyone make you give up.
Remember: No man is worth your tears and the man that is, won't make you cry.
sweet, I've learned that same lesson....rushed relationships are not worth the trouble in the end . Not only do they end up not working but they are usually not healthy relationship which leave you feeling emptier than ever before. I have learned to cherish my friendship more so and I have learned to distinguish the real ones from the others.... and you know that you have many friends right here on CS
