Definitely LouL., if the man is treating the woman with disrespect, there should be no reason why she should feel obligated to stay in the relationship.
Good question Lou. It sure will be interesting to see the responses.
I think some people believe a woman has her place in the house and the man has his. I have heard that some people believe society as a whole will not operate correctly without the traditional family structure as a foundation.
I don't know but curious as to what others will say.
Yeah....rear-wheel drive vehicles in snow is a fun ordeal.
In southern Michigan here and we are suppose to get our first snow accumulation tonight. :(. I like the snow but....the cold and the slippery roads is a whole different deal.
Nam, I think everything in the universe is connected. It is like our environment here on Earth. If the rain forest disappears, it will effect the rest of the planet. Likewise, if something happens to planet Earth, it effects the rest of the universe.
Hello Wind, it is too bad something like that had to happen to you.
I think it would be best to learn from that....like Ken said. For me, I do not think something like that would hold me back from living my life for too long. But, I am a man. However, there are ways to avoid having the same thing happen twice.
Good luck and hope you find courage and trust for others.
If I was a leader of this country, I would make it mandatory that all legal age drinkers take a shot of Jack Daniels on New Years Eve. Not to mention, everyone knows that Africa is a state Pepps.
I have been looking for my new so-called "Crocodile" for a few years now. But, it seems as if I might of learned too much from my past relationship....and it is taking more time than I had expected. The important thing is to at least make yourself available and put yourself out there.
You are making yourself available with getting professional help. :) In addition, by you being on a dating site, you are putting yourself out there and taking steps to find your new love. As time progresses you may start to see new opportunities...don't be afraid to seize them. :)
SR, that would be a beautiful thing but unfortunately I think big business(oil) is too far embedded in our government. I believe Obama had great intentions when he first became President but I am not sure he realized just how powerful the presence of big business was.
But....sign me up. I will work 2 days a week, get tons of benefits, and a great paycheck. This way, I will be able to spend time with my new lady.
Nice for you to share this with some of us men. I must admit, I am a bit guilty myself of some of the things you posted. I was (and possibly still am) a workaholic. :( But, now knowing from past mistakes, making them twice will be much more difficult for me.
From what you have mentioned in your blog, it sounds like your "friend" is not completely satisfied with this man. Sure, she loves that he is educated and they can both sit down and have intellectually stimulating conversations, but he is not "everything" she dreamed she would be with. I bring this up because you mention that she can invest in a man abroad. Perhaps the guy she is currently with fulfills most of her requirements but he is not Western? If this is the case, then she needs to determine if she can be "truly" happy with the guy she is with or not. She should not make this decision based on any external pressures. If she decides to stay with him and is not truly happy, why would she want to make both people in the relationship suffer because of that?
As far as the guy checking out other beautiful women. It is human nature...not just a man but both women and men....to look at things of beauty just a little longer. How long has this man been single? Maybe he has not been "trained" or "informed" by the woman that it makes her uncomfortable when he checks out other beautiful women. Now, if he is sitting there staring at other women while he is in front of your friend, that would be a little awkward. But, if it is just quick glances out of instincts, I think that would be somewhat normal....especially if the guy has been single for a long time. A simple mature conversation between the man and your friend should help things.
As far as the emailing part....your friend not initiating emails with him. You know, men also "test" women to see what level the woman is attracted to the man. There is really no advice I can offer here. Because, if your friend is not fully attracted to the man, I cannot say she should message him. Only she will know, based on her feeling for him, how she should handle the communication portion of this relationship.
Hello Usha....great blog with a great message. I try to live my life like that. Life is so much better when you love everyday you live it and make the best of them. :)
It is time to hire "Brutus" the bill collector. Remember, equip him with a baseball bat.
But you are right Cat, when people take on a debt they should fully intend on paying it. To me, it shows a lack of responsibility and respect to not pay.
Something tells me, somewhere down the road, their lack of responsibility and respect will catch up with them. All you can do is live and learn....or hire Brutus.
RE: "A DAY AT THE RACES"
odds seem pretty difficult to beat. But, as I have heard one time, at least the odds are there to beat. :)
