Are you really Canadian? Because when I lived there, oh yes sorry I’m not actually Italian just live and work here, anyway, when I was in Alberta and BC, I was very taken with how polite and respectful the people of those provinces were, so I assume you are from far off land where manners and respect were long forgotten. My friend you are not only showing up yourself for a women hating pratt but showing up your country, a few positive posts would work wonders for your self esteem and for this forum.

I listen to BBC Radio 2 when at work, I use it for Teaching and to keep up with whats hapening back in the UK, plus its my daily dose of Real Spoken English
Yes I intend to visit and work there, in 1-2 years depending on how well my new career as an English teacher goes. My understanding is that I need at least 12 months experience before I can get work in China.
Dru you will not believe this but since I arrived here in May I have only eaten pasta rarely, only when I have been invited to a large dinner party where pasta is served as a between course filler, I mainly eat the starters which are small and various and the main course which is usually meat with a sauce, followed by a salad then fruit cheese and coffee.
But I do agree, fresh Italian pasta is wonderful as is their pizza which is nothing like those in the UK or USA
Oh for heaven’s sake people, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best in the world, health and full of all the right things to create a balanced wholesome meal, they always eat fruit at the end of a meal, they drink gallons of water with every meal.
I am so sick of all these reports that come out each week, if we followed them all the human race would die out in 12 months.
My advice, eat loads of beetroot, olives and fresh fruit with a balance of various meats and green veg, drink a glass of red wine a day and stop worrying so much to reduce the stress.
I agree, this is not the right place for such emotions as you are experiencing now.
Hopefully you have people around you who can offer support, my own thought is that CAB (Citizens Advice) may be able to help, put you in touch with people who can guide you
My deepest condolences for this awful time in your life.
David DeAngelos is a player who has written books about dating, his philosophy is that women are attracted to men who use a cocky and cheeky way to talk to them, in fact, he promotes a way which I find demeaning and disrespectful to women.
Most of his website is full of useless crap which you have to pay for before you realise that what he preaches is either disrespectful or pretty bloody obvious, such as being confident and happy rather than withdrawn and miserable
I think this guy is just here to promote his website and books, maybe he should read the rules for CS
I don't think religion comes into it, I do however, have a lack of trust in the powers that be to make the right decision, that they may decide that I am as good as dead so they can make money from selling my organs, or use them for someone who pays a higher medical Insurance.
If it was necessary for me to donate an organ for a family member, that is quite different, not got a problem there.
It is without doubt a difficult decision, but I have to err on the side of the scientists, these animals know of no other existence and while I agree that they are live creatures of this earth, that we can cure such terrible disease as Cancer etc has to be worth the cost. However distasteful it actually is.
It’s called manipulation, some are real masters at it, they chip away slowly but surely, leaving you with doubts and uncertainties, until you eventually break, it has nothing to do with the actual relationship, but all to do with how you end up perceiving yourself. When you’re self esteem is cracked by these manipulators your whole world collapse's inwards.
Some are strong enough to withstand this constant nibbling away but most will eventually succumb to the onslaught.
When a relationship is in its infancy there will alway be room for doubt to creep in, especially when it is a LDR.
CS should be so proud, there are many manipulators here, they disgust me
Relationships don't really change that much, maybe the contents varies with changes in society, but the actual running and support of a relationship remains fairly constant.
Lack of talking equals breakdown
Discussion with compromise equals a lasting relationship,
The problems may change but the solutions remain the same. The fact is that in the main we are spoilt and lazy, and cannot accept the fact that for any relationship to work, both parties must work at it,
Bottom line, He has a brain, with the right approach anyone can learn, we know he loves her, that in itself would give incentive to improve, to gain her pride in him which in turn will help her to rebuild her attraction then affection and so to love him.
My point is, in today’s society we all give up far too easily and take the easy path rather than work and get a better reward.
My 'ol school values have served generations with no ill affect
IMO = In My Opinion, used to show it is just an opinion not an order or proven fact
Yes it will always be her decision and hers alone, but, she could still make a good home, and study as well, become a teacher and then use her skills to benefit those who would appreciate her knowledge
She would be hard pressed to find another man who shows such intelligent compassion and understanding, he may be uneducated, but he carries more wisdom than she will ever have.
My opinion stays the same, she is a fool to look elsewhere, she will never find such powerful love anywhere else. Most women would give their right arm, to find a man who feels that way about them, IMO
In my honest opinion, I think she should stay, devote her life to making a happy and content family environment, there is always the chance that in time and if she allows it, that she will also fall in love with him, many arranged marriages work this way.
This is not a mistake, this is a tragedy. She liked him enough to marry and have his child, now she just wants to discard him like some old pair of knickers.
She does not deserve a child let alone a loving husband.
You obviously care about her, but what about her husband, what do YOU care about how he feels??? What he wants????
Your friend is not so clever, that she only married to have a handsome husband shows a real lack in wisdom, maybe she should have married for love
Maybe she can try to help her husband to become ambitious, I assume he loves her and would always look after her, is that not what we all want? To love and be loved
Why?, it's not your mother who is making the choice as to who you go with, if it is, then she is way too controlling and needs to give you space.
I care what people think of me, I believe if we are honest we all do, but, I reached a point in my life many years ago, when I decided that if I felt strongly enough about someone, that I would take or leave how their friends thought about me. It was her who I was dating and that was what was important. That in this day and age, we still get conflicts with our families regarding race, colour, religion, wealth or social class is a very sad reflection on the world.
Not picking on you, but rather commenting on your post, I wonder whether it has more to do with self esteem, self worth and confidence, in that someone who is worldly wise would not even think about social status but would be looking at the personality of the other person, whereas, if someone has led a sheltered life, that could lead to those issues you mentioned.
I know millionaires I would never want as friends and have friends who cannot rub two pennies together, financial wealth or business power do not automatically make someone special or better than anyone else.
I find intelligence a turn on, I have no interest in class, but whether we can talk about the same subjects on the same level, have common hobbies etc.
When I get to the stage of having to do a background check on a potential partner, I think I will just become a hermit.
