“Keep it in your pants” should be rule #1. Never mind the psychical benefits to keeping such a rule, but the emotional toll as well.
I see my single gf’s go through SO much unnecessary crap. I have 1 single gf, who showed me this “guy she was dating” and I told her, just from the pics on his FB that he is a fag.
She said he wasn’t I told her that boy goes both ways; therefore, he’s a fag.
One night, while she was out with her brother, this “giy” started talking to her brother, ignoring her, and asked for his number so they could “be friends” and hang out. I asked her if her brother was homo and she said no. That’s when I reiterated the guy she WAS dating was a fag(they stopped dating after he had his way, then said some awful things to her).
For some reason, she still chooses to be “friends” with him. However, she does “stalk” the bars he hangs out in.
I’m trying to set her right, she is a nice girl, but stupid. When I told her he was a fag, she denied denied denied!
Mrs WBill has much the same problem with her friends. I just sit back with my popcorn.
The one thing that I can't make my wife understand is that every one of her single friends would KILL to be in the position that she's in....comfortable lifestyle, great kids, nice house, stay-at-home Mom, (ahem) doting husband. She takes a lot of what they say at face value..."I value my independence." "I don't want kids." "I could never stay home...why don't you go to work?"
Crabs in a pot, all of them. Fortunately, my lovely wife recognizes a good gig when she has it, and is fully capable of telling the more persistent of them to get stuffed. :-)
She teaches part-time, to make a little spending money. I'd have liked to have been a fly on the wall when her former (female, liberal, 50+, childless, never married, rabidly feminist) boss suggested that she "Give up this stupid staying at home idea, ditch the kids, and come work full time for me!!". My lovely wife is not prone to anger, but one of the other teachers described the scene as, quote, "Volcanic". LOL!!
