It is an alien concept for many. I’m glad you brought it up and shared it here.

That even the person one holds closest to one's heart can betray us, gaslight us, and can't automatically be assumed to be trustworthy, just because we've fallen in love with them; even if it's reciprocated, because emotional damage from the past can be very real, and very abrasive in subsequent relationships.

@ChampagneOnIce so true, I also learned that lesson. 😔

@DearAmbellina2113 It's a hard lesson to learn, but there is value in it. Breathe and let go is all we can do sometimes.

Two people that wholeheartedly disagree can both be right. You have to put yourself in their shoes, then view the situation.
Being right has no value, being kind and understanding does. If you don’t understand, ask and listen.
You don’t grow by being right. You grow by learning.

@DearAmbellina2113 Yes I understood, I just think that is gross as well. I man should not defer to his mother all the time. Momma's boys are gross.

When I was younger and dating, I figured out early on to avoid these kinds of men. It just wouldn’t work.
I find myself too independent and self reliant , even from my parents. Plus I was raised in that environment where i was encouraged to choose my path and be decisive about my life.
I thought to myself, how could I have a relationship with someone who has to ask his parents’ approval for everything?

@CookieCrumbs same!!! I have been independent since day 1 (mostly because of parental neglect), so that's how I still live my life. Can't be with someone too dependent on their family.

@BobbyMoeven I just found that most of my men friends are much more minimalistic and tidy than my female friends. Just my own personal experience. I think your friends slobiness could also be due to maturity in college.

There are those people too.
It makes them feel good to say the words they think we want to hear.

In a moment of ignorance, I made a small innuendo toward a co-worker, among a group of friends during a work break. I've no idea why I made it, but I had, and I let it ride.
After the work break, as we were going back out on to the floor to our jobs, she approached me, very calmy, and looking completely in to my eyes she said....[my name here]....be yourself. She looked at me for a moment more, then turned away and went over to her place of work.
It hit me like a sledge. I've never forgotten it.....nor her.

Wow. Those lines… they’re powerful in its simplicity.
What was the first thing that crossed your mind when she said it?

@CookieCrumbs That she saw something in me that I had not seen in myself, and that perhaps she looked at me differently than the other people on the floor. That and the fact that I had sort of let her down in a careless moment. I never did that again.
Those are truly teachable moments.

We can’t really know a person until we have lived day to day with them.
