TO WOMEN: How to Build A lasting Relationship

Any one here perfect?

Only I am!

I agree, respect and friendship is the key.

One of the most profound things I ever heard was “Would you treat a best friend the way you treat your spouse?”

As for hubby who threw away the CD, he was batchit crazy...on a scale of 1 to 10 of the worst things he did, it was a 1. Again, I married him for all the wrong reasons. I know it....

But, I won’t do it again.

[najida]

Broken people attract broken people....like the chunks of a puzzle piece.

Sometimes its a good thing, sometimes though, it’s poison.

I think you have to look at the whys of the attraction.

BUMP!

[bannie]

You’re a better catch than to have to stay.

“Women are evil!” said to me my Indian friend recently, after my latest misadventure, punishment and public humiliation by a woman who not long ago declared she was my best friend.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Even more ‘oddly’ is that in the New Testament, husbands are told to LOVE their wives, while wives are told to RESPECT their husbands.

A woman who is loved is treated with ultimate respect and defended by her husband against threats.

A loving man who is respected by his wive does not put her down in the machismo-lowbrow-hillbilly-Clintonesque stereotype, he treats her as outlined in Proverbs 31.

Put me on that ping list - I adore watching the FReeper contingent of the He-Man Wimmin-Hater’s Club. They are endlessly entertaining! LOL

Unfortunately, after every “real” relationship, you have to have a disposable relationship to clean the pallet.

[najida]

You’re on it ;)

[najida]

I agree.

[ladyjane]

Broken people attract broken people...

That is so true. I have to remember to post that statement in the next All-Wimmen-R-Evil thread. That should cause a furor.

[Vermont Lt]

She’s cheating on you.

Just kidding.

Or am I?

[ArrogantBustard]

I tell my wife of 25 years, "I love you",

My Dad taught me (by example) to do that. I'm quite sure they must have disagreed sometime, but I never witnessed my parents exchanging bitter, angry or insulting words.

I hope that, maybe, I learned something from them.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Please add me also...as I enjoy them too (my Jane Austenish moments) ;)PaMom

[Alkhin]

OH! Najida - found a dance instructor!

[CIB-173RDABN]

Anyhow, is FR supposed to be the guys place for balance? If so, I’ll go elsewhere.

No. FR is open to all. Just be prepared to defend any statement you may make. That is what makes the site so interesting.

(...but remember, there is not rule that says you have to respond to everyone that replys to one of your comment, you can simply ignore them.)

Unfortunately, after every “real” relationship, you have to have a disposable relationship to clean the pallet.

There might be some truth to that...

[bannie]

Good morning, Najida.

That was well thought-out. You deserve a great relationship.

Would you please add me to your “Wimmen R’Evil” ping list. Thanks.
