Hi India, This is going to be a little long, I let someone speak the way I could ever do about "If the concerned persons are happy with each other and have no issues then why should it be a topic of concern to others."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Part of a sermon delivered at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama, on 17 November 1957.
"Now, I’m aware of the fact that some people will not like you, not because of something you have done to them, but they just won’t like you. I’m quite aware of that. Some people aren’t going to like the way you walk; some people aren’t going to like the way you talk. Some people aren’t going to like you because you can do your job better than they can do theirs. Some people aren’t going to like you because other people like you, and because you’re popular, and because you’re well-liked, they aren’t going to like you. Some people aren’t going to like you because your hair is a little shorter than theirs or your hair is a little longer than theirs. Some people aren’t going to like you because your skin is a little brighter than theirs; and others aren’t going to like you because your skin is a little darker than theirs. So that some people aren’t going to like you. They’re going to dislike you, not because of something that you’ve done to them, but because of various jealous reactions and other reactions that are so prevalent in human nature."
Cat, you put a lot of work into this story. "Baron Lambermont did sink off the coast of Tunisia on April 14th, 1904", absolutely true: 14 April 1904, Operateur SA Tonnage, Antwerp. Baron Lambermont, Belgian flag, Cargo ship. Struck rocks and sank at Cape Blanc, Bizerte, Tunisia.
I am not telling you what to do, but I think he is trying to manipulate you for his own convenience. He choose to go of his own free will, he shouldn't have any regrets. His choice, he should have thought about it before. Wish you the best of luck.
RE: Blame The French
No need to be sorry, silly Teddy.
