john See you got the popcorn...and yes hopefully people will have open minds when it comes to love...it works both ways though...baggage is not just a female thing...don't sleep...lol...
john wallops is quite correct...we all need someone...I doubt any woman would throw it away for a minor disagreement...most people I know try to work on their relationships before coming to the conclusion that it is over...
john Your welcome...women are often judged by others...so it is good to state your independence...not a gold digger...or a clingy or needy individual...not to be mistaken by someone who will drop you like it's hot when things get a bit difficult...
john This description of being independent is not meant to be used as a woman who has no feelings or cannot form attachments...it just means they can take care of themselves financially...at least that is what it means to me...men these days do not want to look after women either...financially I mean...it should be equal...I agree with you!!
simmo A white lie is an example of a way of not hurting a person's feelings...not a deliberate deception...not to be mistaken with the kind of lies that can hurt others...the motive is to lessen the pain...
cat A white lie is okay in my opinion...but sometimes a lie repeats itself again and again...then before you know it...you forgot what you lied about...then you are caught!!...so ye I agree with you!!
cat I think most of us would like to kick that persons' a**...our members here have made some decent friendships/bonds...a shame someone has tainted our community...
lind Glad to hear from you...what an awful thing to happen...but we are all vulnerable...we all take chances and some decisions are bad ones but if we don't try...then we may never meet or become good friends...so although there may have been some red flags...we do need to try and trust as well...it is in the spirit of good things to come...
detective simmo Good to see you have some humour about it...we may never know why people lie to such a degree...as zman states...but it makes you wonder if that person has some mental defect and unable to relate to fellow humans emotionally...perhaps we all should be detectives to guard our feelings...
