My Parents taught us you had to have both of these quailities or the relationship would not survive.
To me, it is like this:
You can love a person as a friend. This is just a simple love and respect but it would not go any further. The person is on par with and similar to the love you have for your, sibling or pet.
If the friendship deepens and grows into something more then, you find yourself wanting, waiting, looking forward to sharing all things with that person. Then this if it is mutual grows into Being in Love and unable to imagine shariing life with anyone else. You would sacrifice your life for that person without hessitation.
It is Imprtant to always Love your Mate not only as your Mate, (In Love) but also as your Best Friend, (Love) because you have to not only work on the Love you have as Mates, but also keep the friendship Strong as the foundation for your Marriage.
Many people lose sight of this and they say I Love Him/Her but I Can't stand Him/Her. They forgot how to love as friends to keeep the background of their relationship alive. JMO
First, the government's role is to nurture, not enable. Make sure there is a ROI on every welfare dollar spent. Skill-enhancement should be emphasized. Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day, teach him to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.
Secondly, in business, do not reward failure. Punish it. I'm sick of incompetent rich people getting government money. If you're mentally incompetent, you're not fit to lead, and darwinian logic says you must die off. That is Adam Smith.
Thirdly, Level the playing field economically. Tally up the 800 billion dollars and give an equal share back up to the tax payer. Hey, I could start a hell of a business with $320k.[/quote]
For the most part, I agree with you, Lela. The only thing I would change is that Kitty01 should offer advice ONLY when and if her daughter ASKS for it.
I do not have children, however, I think this should have been left alone and also, not mentioned here,as it is the business of the FOUR Women, ( See below{}) and the ONE Man and the THREE children mentioned. I know two were mentioned more than others, but there were three children by this man mentioned.
Personally, to me, this indicates the man is NOT a Responsible Mate. It also indicates the girls involved, are not responsible either.
Hopefully, they will all grow up before he gives someone a STD or a death sentence then all will suffer more than they already do.
IMO, by Kitty's actions, it also makes it look as if Kitty's Daughter wanted his current g/f to have to go through the same thing she did when she was with him, ( Again see below{}).
This is wrong, the pain Kitty's Daughter suffered, should never have been wished on anyone.
Still, maybe taken, if He ever gets back Stateside. The waiting is very hard. . . Makes me have a whole nother appreciation for my Mother and what she went through not hearing from my Father for months when he wwas on a Military Assignment,
We would definitely have some thing to discuss, includiing what we expect of our relationship, why he needed to cheat, where ifany whwere we go form there. A visit to the Dr. for STD Testing is in order.
