Have I set the bar too high?

I think it's too late now. He kept texting & emailing me & asking why I don't reply & why I'm so mean. I wasn't trying to ignore him, but I'm sure that's what it looked like. I emailed him back & asked that he give me some time & space... got no reply. Guess I got what I asked for.

I was him in my marriage. Would it be OK if he'd been the wife & doing all that? Not saying what's right or wrong. And heck, I never started this thread with the intent of it evolving to this.

Equality goes both ways, J. It seems to me that all we women have done is taken on more roles... in MOST instances. Yes, we're now in the workforce, but we still go home to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. And many men (not all, mind you) still go to work & expect the dinner to be on the table when they get home, the kids taken care of, & everything to be spotless.

Yep! And I even pump my own gas!

I think it depends on the man & the situation. I recently met a man spontaneously at a diner he was stopping at on his way through the area. He'd already eaten by the time I got there, but I hadn't & was hungry. So, I proceeded to order myself something to eat & paid for it too.

I'm also very independent... raised my daughter singly, pay my own bills, even bought my own house. But when a man asks me out to dinner, well a true gentleman would usually WANT to pay.

HE asked ME out to dinner. If he'd simply suggested we meet for drinks... well then, that's different.

MEN

Have I set the bar too high?

I've befriended me in the past who had initially wanted more. My experience with that has most always been that they keep trying & when I don't change my mind, they actually get very angry/upset & won't talk to me. That just leaves me feeling totally confused, bewildered, & upset that I lost someone whom I truly considered a friend. I'd heard before that men can't be just friends. I don't think it's always true... but if they start out with different motives, I think it is.
