I like to debate, I don't find talking online particularly natural because of what you lose compared to a real conversation, so the forums lend themselves towards debating for me personally.
Because you could interpret what he's done in that way. You said something about him needing to lessen his phone calls and now he's completely broken off contact without warning. If you think his heart was in it to begin with then I would think it is this or maybe because he's seeing somebody else.
I have to say I agree with you, we've all seen the type.
But I have to say, given that my other half is a Russian, that young Russian women over here are not always the freeloader looking for the man with a lot more money than time.
Well my girlfriend's Russian, and that's because I don't find many intelligent and cultured young British women around, and the ones that there are regard being intelligent and cultured an achievement in itself - which I don't like or agree with.
I'd say you've pushed him too hard and he's legged it. But the fact that he has dealt with this in the manner that he has suggests that you're probably better off without him.
I can't say I view men and women wanting to have children in that light. I view the natural pulse to have children as one, if not the last, grounding elements left amongst the people of today - it is itself a rare display of commitment and selflessness.
Shouldn't a culture consider a child as a must? It's how you deal with a pressure that counts, perhaps what we see in this issue is a rather lax fashion of doing so.
How much worse does the economy, the environment and social conditions in general need to get before this prevailing, yet rootless and isolated attitude is discarded?
That's in part what I mean by convenience, which is whatever is best for the parent and not the child. This is because the parent exists here and now and so it is the individual's right to do what pleases themselves most easily.
I'm talking about discipline. I don't see a reason to overreact - you wouldn't need guns and tear gas to send a message of what is and what isn't acceptable. You would only need such extremes if it were the majority of Libyans causing trouble, which it isn't.
