I know the thread is for fun LL and I´m not upset. I´m simply saying what I really think.....at the risk of being reported for not being a true party member
You are all absolutely crazy.....seriously. No joke, I mean crazy. Never in my life have a met such a group of....well weirdos. I am serious, with the exception of a few who are as I am, trying to ignore the crassness and idiocy of many members.
Ok. I hate that this place is so false. I don´t think hardly anybody is honest.....unless they are on their meds, or off the drink and drugs. I watch, and see wild mood swings. wtf!!
Everybody seems to have some kind of emotional or physical problem which I cannot relate to.....sorry, but it´s not something I either know about or understand. Maybe I´m lucky, my life has been virtually calamity free!
Can´t agree with this, or somechicks post quoted, sorry.
People in general don´t often take anything out on a subsequent partner after a abusive or an unhappy relationship. If that were the case they would be simply repeating the bad treatment received, often not a part of their own physical make-up and therefore virtually impossible.
I think that people who have been abused, or unhappy, tend to offer too much of themselves to the first bidder due to a lack of self confidence, thus leaving themselves wide open to the same kind of abusive relationship. This is why men and women sometimes end up with the same kind of negative relationship over and over again.
What also may be the case though, is that after an abusive or unhappy relationship, people are naturally more wary and close themselves off a little. If that is perceived as "taking it out on men" then so be it. Personally I do not agree.
Well actually, he wasn´t confiscated permanently, but the batteries were! He switched himself on as my hand luggage went through the scanner.....bzzzzzzz. The offending item was removed from my bag in full view of the world.
As a travelling teacher, Bob was my best friend and always packed carefully before I left for foreign climes, he was confiscated once though at the airport.....very embarrassing!
If you have read some of the more intelligent posts....mine included.... you should have realised that it is not about money.
Most men, whether they choose to admit or not, do prefer a softer, caring woman...in Spanish the word is cariñoso, much better I think, who looks after her man.
I´ve already said that this is much easier when the woman does not have to work full-time, rare in the Western world. However in other cultures, the woman works in the home and devotes her efforts to the man in her life. How wonderful for the man! How could he not be happier with that kind of relationship?
As a disclaimer, I have always worked. My ex-husband is with a stay at home partner. He loves that attention and not having to share boring domestic chores with a working partner.
I couldn´t possibly tell you which is the better type of relationship.
At the risk of offending the US members, I can honestly say that these incidents are relatively uncommon in Europe, thus I am always shocked when I read these things which seem to be a part of everyday life in the USA.
If you have no real relationship with her other than verbal, then maybe she is keeping her options open. She is not sure, she may be making a huge mistake to give up on the old relationship, even if it is not perfect, without any real basis to do so.
It´s a difficult situation, and I´m reluctant to criticise her as others have done here.
RE: If you could create your perfect mate...
Yeah!
