I see it very differently to you, I do not see that he was playing a victim, at all. I saw a young man who stood up for himself, elegantly when he was attacked.
No I did not see him insult you, I would have been having the same conversation with him much earlier than I am with you.
Doesn't matter that whether you felt you insulted him Tater, he told you you did.
Those are his feelings. Are they not to be taken into consideration? When you are telling him that he is disgusting?
And telling Virgin that the OP had him sandwiched?
At the time, it may well have been a joke to you, but if the other person feels insulted, is it not something that you should step up and take responsibility for? Would you not instill those values in your daughter, or would it be okay if she went around saying what she liked because she felt it was okay?
I like to think and I was raised as you, my dad would go beserk if I was to do anything and if I lied, then god help me. I lied to him once, that was my one chance and my only chance. I never did it again.
You ask a vaild question my friend, on how it has been lost somewhere along the lines, I still remember the feeling of 'what if my dad were to find out?'
And I still carry that to this day, not because I am afraid of him, I am an adult and I am not afraid of any adult, but for hurting him and not trusting him enough to advise me.
And now I have my own adult children, who often say 'Mum, I remember you saying this and that'
I remember the values that my father and my grandmother showed, guided and mentored me with, I passed those onto my children and I maintain throughout my life, whether alone or in a relationship.
Well, if he pushes everything aside for one moment, then he may ask himself, if he is able to rear a child that is not his own, if that happens to be the case. He may not wish to find that out and accept the child as his own.
Is the risk of asking a test and finding out it is not his larger than the risk of dumping and running and leaving a child that could be his.
See you get nice things, I get fighting with poor G33, broken nails (false ones, I'll kill him) and a ferret, some ancient man pouring rum down my throat and leaving when he cannot get it up...
Is there a union around here, I feel this is a violation of my human rights as a lusty, buxom wench?
RE: MEN!!!!
Tater...I know you wanna stick up for dads and I have too, but that is not because I am against mothers either.
So put your gun away.
