When a woman goes through emotional, self-destrustive stages in her life, she is sometimes said to have a low "Self-Esteem". When a man goes through the same, he is said to be down on his "Ego".
Does "self-esteem" apply only to women, and "ego" only to men?
I was inspired by one particular man by the name of "zdeadmnwalking". For some reason or another, whenever I got opinions from men on matters that were important to me in this forum, they replied with either sarcasim, laughter or without caring.
I'm not trying to be "IN THE WAY" as you state it so graciously. We were together for 14 years, and now we are very close friends who still care deeply for each other.
I"ve been divorced for almost 5 years. My ex husband and I separated and eventually divorced for all the wrong reasons after 14 years which we both regreted. We continued to be there for each other even though we weren't together anymore.
His new girl-friend of 2 years insisted on meeting me so that we could become friends since me and my Ex was still so very close. My guess is that she felt very insecure about their relationship.
Upon her repeated insistance, he asked me if I would meet with her so that she would stop fighting with her about me. I did it for HIM!
Now she's got my phone number and keeps calling me all the time to find out if and when I see him because she's very jealous. Even when he's not with me, she accuses of being with me. So, we decided to be even closer.
I still have feelings for him and he still has feelings for me, she can't accept that, so she has created a lot of tension between us and strained situations that do not exist!
I got over my ex by thinking about all the "Bad" things that was done or said to me. Finally I realized that the bad out-weighed the good, and that I deserved "better", and so do you!
On another Internet Dating Site, I received several e-mails from a man with no picture posted. I kept asking for his photo, and finally he sent me a picure of his siter from Uganda, and another picture of his sister in New York!
On one other occasion, I received an e-mail with a picture of a very handsome man that I was corresponding with on a regular basis only to find out that it was a picture of his son. I found this out because we were just about to meet, when he admitted the truth. He was actually 74 years old!

THE WORDS "I LOVE YOU" COMES EASILY FOR WOMEN, BUT MEN WILL NOT SAY IT, EVEN WHEN THEY DO, WHY IS THAT?
