LOL Have thought, just not there yet.
Liked your post on marriage... As usual. Have you ever thought about writing a book?
They have no reason to talk about past relationships. What's the point? To have you feel sympathy for them? It's a new relationship, a new beginning... so shut the fudge up already about which girlfriend wronged you 15 years ago. I think it's a good approach... if you find someone who is stuck in the past, why waste time trying to get another man back into the present? Just move on.
I've run into it too many times. I've had so much ugly stuff from men. There has been some good too but a lot of that was a man/men trying to help me after some other man created a disaster. I don't think every man is a rapist, or will threaten me or stalk me or beat me. Why should I have to pay for whatever they've dealt with? I'm resolved not to let in into my life anymore. The next man who starts in about his ex, after any initial, this is why I am here in life stories, I will be gone so fast they will think they imagined me.
Could be a start... The brainstorming in the Clitical Thinking thread helped me understand it better, but how to change those harmful thought patterns that cause all the heartache... I still don't know.
I don't know. I'm not looking at this point.
You'll probably run across the right one when you least expect it. At least I hope you do.
I've about given up trying to figure it out.
...and yet we love to claim that it's the women who are difficult to understand. lol
Ya'll are enough to drive women crazy. If you are wonderful, we are crazy about you. If you are jerks, we crazy because of you.
