So they cheated, now what?

I have only been cheated on by one boyfriend (well, that I know of?) and we had only just decided to be exclusive. It was really weird because he was the one that pushed for us to be in a committed relationship. Yet, practically weeks later, I find out he hooked up with someone from work.

I didn’t break things off with him because of that though - against my better judgment, and boy did I end up regretting that one. At the time, I decided to overlook the fact that he cheated because it took away the question - is he the cheating type? Well, now that it was established that he was, what was I going to do about it? Yea, I didn’t think that far ahead. I was too busy trying to keep in him my life to really grasp the message I was getting about his character. I call this my learning lessons the hard way phase!

Do you think that a person who cheats on their boyfriend/girlfriend, would do the same during a marriage?

Have you ever dated someone that cheated on you? How did you handle it? If you stayed with them, how did you get past it?

When it comes to deception and dating, what bad behaviors are you willing to forgive and forget?

What kind of dating mistake is unforgivable to you? What kind can you learn to forgive?

Mownin Errybody!

Do you think that a person who cheats on their boyfriend/girlfriend, would do the same during a marriage?

As with everything, it depends on the person. To me it would be more critical to cheat after being married than in merely dating. Some guys that have a really huge issue with being monogamous, will more than likely still do it after being married. In the same token, there are those men that feel he should get it all out prior to taking vows and don’t cheat after getting married. It just depends on what their mindset is on the whole marriage/infidelity thing. BUT FOLKS MUST REALIZE cheating, especially in marriage, can really become a cancer to the entire relationship. Even though a person may take you back, the damage of betrayal rears it’s head in many other areas. It damages the trust that person has for you, which then takes away from the foundation and core of what helps a relationship work. Then men complain about Misses Watch Dog because she can’t believe you as far as she can see you…You get fed up with the nagging, so you need a break, then it starts the cycle over again. You go out to hang with (insert womans’ name here) because she doesn’t nag you like wifey.

Have you ever dated someone that cheated on you? How did you handle it? If you stayed with them, how did you get past it? Yes I have. It was really hard because I felt very betrayed. I think I cussed him out, took some time apart, then he slowly started coming back around. My feelings and/or love for me allowed me to give it another try. I was really paranoid in the beginning afterwards and didn’t like the person I turned into. I didn’t like having my guard up all the time for fear of being hurt again. But I realized, no matter what I did to ensure he was satisfied mentally, emotionally, physically…I can’t be held accountable for what someone else does. He is still is own person. Low and behold it happened again. So, it makes me wonder if once a cheater always a cheater. Hmmm? Especially when he said he didn’t know why he did it. OR that it was for his entertainment purpose but that I was, is and always would be his heart. WHATEVER!

When it comes to dating or whatever now, I’m very observant. So if a dude starts off being a little shaky or lying about stuff…that puts them in the WHATEVER BOX. It’s just pointless to waste time playing games when I’m not interested in playing.

Morning ALL thank goodness I only have one more day of this and then I can join ya’ll again

On topic I have been cheated on and I have cheated so I can feel both sides of that. At the time I was cheated on, I was young so I dipped out. Didnt think twice about handling it any other way.

I dont think someone that cheats while dating will automatically cheat during marriage.

Cant deal with habitual lying, abuse of any kind, blatant/constant disrespect. Those are deal breakers for me.

I’ll try to chime in later!

It’s hard to believe that a person who cheats while dating can just all of sudden adjust their mindset after marriage. I think it’s a matter of character. If that’s the type of person that you are it will take more than a wedding day to change. Commitment is commitment married or not. Either you respect your mate or you don’t.

I am not saying that people can not change because they can. But this change is not something that happens just over night.

I have never had to deal with being cheated on by anyone that I had a meaningful relationship with. If it happened I was never made aware of it. There has been a time or two where I was presented with opportunity to cheat, but like I said when I am committed to someone I am only with them at that time. Don’t get me wrong I was really tempted one of those times but I could not see where it was worth it. Some may consider me to be the one with the character flaw, if so then you have that right. But I live by a certain set of morals and principles that are right for me.

Relationships are hard enough as it is. Why go and pile a bunch of other senseless crap into the mix?

Women cheat too.

I dated a woman in the past that cheated on me, and I never looked at dating the same after that. I have never cheated, and never understood why someone would cheat. The funny part is when the signs become prevalent, I didn’t want to believe it until the act was done. People cheat mentally before the act is done. They put themselves in position for the act to occur, then blame you for putting them in that position. LOL! Jedi mind tricks.

My outlook nowadays………Half dozen = It’s a long process to trust you completely; Other Half dozen = I don’t care enough about you to care if you cheat or not.

Wise Nope, that wasn’t me, sorry.

Rell You are absolutely right. I know a few married chicks that go out and date but their husbands don’t know. One in particular always jokes about how she hates when he tries to initiate sex. She’ll act like shes really sleeping hard or fake an illness, be it cramps, headache, diarrhea, etc. LOL! That’s really sad too. I know that I don’t want to be like that when/if i get married.

I dated a guy whom I found out cheated on me after we broke up. Had I found out this information during our relationship, it would have been a deal breaker because I didn’t find out from him…which made him a liar. The lying about it makes it hurt worse than the betrayal, IMO.

I don’t think I’d allow cheating in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. It just sets a bad precedent for the future. I’d at least try to give him points if he came to me about it first.

Ironically, if I were married, I’d try to work it out. We’d made a commitment of the deepest level, and once I got down to the nitty gritty of why he cheated, I’d work to resolve it w/out divorce if it were at all possible.

Slim ^5 on your 8:25 post. I agree 100%.

Most of my relationships have ended in cheating (on the male’s part). And for many, many years, I walked around feeling like it was me. There was something I wasn’t doing, giving, etc. to make them do such things. But every single one of them, including my ex-husband, all say that it wasn’t me…that I was a great woman…very giving, supportive, sexually compatible, etc. It wasn’t until after my divorce that I realized it’s not about how good of a woman I was, it had everything to do with them and where they were in their lives. I got married at 23…my ex husband was 26; every relationship before that was during college and high school…so when I reflect back these guys were young and didn’t know what relationships were about. However, because of their actions all I knew was “guys cheat” and I started expecting it. It tore my self-esteem down because I’d tied my self-worth to these relationships. Now that I’m older and more mature, I understand the dynamics better but it was an uphill battle re-programming my mind to understand their actions didn’t have anything to do with me and how I treated them.

As an adult, I don’t really know how I’d deal with someone cheating on me now. If I’m dating, I’d probably just let him go and allow him to do him…because I’d feel he still needed time to figure out what he wanted. When I marry again, if my husband were to cheat on me, it would depend. If I felt he was putting this woman before me and his household then we’d be over. A man sleeping with another woman isn’t worth ending an marriage, BUT a man developing a relationship with another woman would be the dealbreaker for me.

Sorry for the long post.

Morning ya…yeah been cheated on never been a cheater..didn’t want the backdraft of Karma to creep up on my @ss. DOn’t know about that marrying a cheater I guess it is what it is and you hope for the best and judge the man by his character and actions, hell just let me think Im the princess and we won’t have any problems. if i fidn that you are cheating im out and its on you period married or not life is too chirt to be dealing with that shyt especially when the world doesn’t end with him, feel the pain, feel the burn, give it time to heal and move on thats really all you can do try not to be jaded.

And um im sorry but Truth* You posted this yesterday and I have to ask are you serious?? Please clarify this statement ‘cause its pretty dangerous in this day and age. Posted yesterday!

Also, from a practical standpoint, fuggin is nothing short of scary nowadays. I’m tired of waiting 10 days to see if my shyts gonna burn. I hate condoms and I want to feel a woman, damn some rubber. Now if a woman can’t pass a taste test its a no go

Prime example of Jedi mindtricks; Inside the mind of a cheater LOL

Not that this is an excuse but I am a man. I once asked you if you knew a man who was 100% faithful. if I remember correctly you couldn’t think of one or you just didn’t answer me. Who knows, it coud be heriditary also. I don’t know exactly why I did it. That answer might not be good enough but thats the answer. Trying to find an answer for that is not something that I’m trying to ponder or think about. When I do things that upset you I don’t ever plan to do so. Infidelities happen with all kinds of people. From regular people like us to corporate men and women all the way to Presidents of the U.S. Could you honestly deny the fact that when we are with each other I don’t make you feel special? I’ve tried to give you the world but I am one man. Not a perfect man but I think a good one.I honestly don’t think that I would want to find someone else to replace you. I have never ever, ever ever ever been in love with someone in the way I am with you. Old habits are hard to break.Want to know what to me is a punch in my face? The fact that you said that we wasted 8 years together. Am I a waste? I don’t feel that way about you or us. Waste is garbage, trash, and shyt. To me that is no way to define what we have experienced or our relatioship.

The only thing worst than betraying some one is presenting a dumb excuse for your actions. If you are man/woman enough to commit the act then be man/woman enough to own up to it. Don’t try to make it be the other person’s fault why you did it. You did it because you wanted to.

Deeva4Life I totally understand that mental mishap that happens when a guy cheats on you. In my earlier years, I too felt it was representative of something that i wasn’t providing to him in the relationship and it put a damper on my self-esteem. I just kept playing things over in my head trying to figure what I didn’t do right. But like you said, it was them. They even said it was them and that their intention was not to hurt me. Being cheated on as an adult isn’t any easier. I guess it bothered me more as an adult because I felt that as an adult, if you feel you need to take time away from committment, that it should be verbalized and not hidden like a kid sneaking cookies from the kitchen when his mom goes to bed.LOL! So it’s just as disheartening but part of life nonetheless.

Rell I can’t even begin to answer why chick would stay married but it probably has something to do with the guy is a good guy and they have 2 young kids together. She said her hubby just never wants to do anything, never wants to go out, is just boring. So i assume she seeks out excitement from dating other guys. And what guy will pass up the opp to mess with a married chick. You know you’re going to get the puddy w/o all the parameters and hoops of dating a single chick.

If he cheats it doesn’t matter to me what his excuse is. If we are married and he cheats yes I have to move on because I can’t spend the death till ‘us’ part worring or trying to figure out if you will repeat the same offense. That is the true deffinition of a MIND FYCK

Yes we would have taken our vows under God but the bond is irretrievably broken so I would not be able to hold up my end cause he dropped his

God can forgive him thats his job I’m still flesh and can forgive but I can forget him from far away, up the street whatever just not in my zone. Move on find another, I gotta to go his loss my gain, of wisdom, the lesson and knowledge stored in my memory bank for the next lesson. Holla ya!

Good morning all! Barring teenage relationships, and one episode where my boyfriend at the time admitting to kissing another girl when I was about 21, I haven’t dealt with cheating in my relationships. I try my best to find out how they feel about cheating in the beginning of the relationship and we kind of air out our expectations so there aren’t any surprises. It’s one of the things I don’t tolerate. Anything that speaks of low character, like cheating, blatant lying, stealing, etc, are pretty much deal breakers for me. The times where I have forgiven a man for lying to me, after many chances to come clean, I regretted it because I knew I was overlooking the obvious character flaw. It showed itself again in the end.

I believe the person who inquired about any Halloween events around town was Staceye (if my memory serves me correctly).

On Topic:

Not much to contribute to this topic since I have only been in a committed relationship once; however I did find out (in my past dating relationships), that I had been cheated on and I guess b/c I was not as deep into our relationship (which was a good thing), that it really did not affect me much…it was easier to let go, don’t look back and keep movin’…but that’s just it, not sure if that would fall in the category of cheating since we were just dating; and nope, I have no exp with cheating in previous relationships.

thanks for the being the curtain

here is my truth

When i cheated it was because i liked the variety and i missed it…period, really the women i was cheating with meant nothing to me…only time i really turned on my charm or showed any attention was when my dizzle was hard…feel me

i missed the joy of having the nu-nu…home was still cool, but that phire was turning into another type of love that i was not use to..feel me…so i felt like i needed it…noticed it had nothing to do with the women..it was on me..like raqi said i chose to do it…

When it comes to deception and dating, what bad behaviors are you willing to forgive and forget?

An ex lied to me about being divorced, we had been dating about two months. Since the intent on both of their part was to divorce and they had been separated for over a year, I gave him the opportunity to straighten out his business while we took a hiatus. I tried to forgive him as he seemed genuinely sorry for the lie and was determined to get his divorce final. But he had the nerve to be the one who was up and down during the situation, I never got a chance to really feel what I was feeling. Anyway, he decided to totally leave the relationship during the process of the divorce, citing other BS issues that we didn’t even have, so I let him go.

When his divorce was final, he tried to come back and I said hellz to the naw. He’s still trying 7 months later and the answer is still NO. I can forgive him, and he can cry in my phone all day if he wanna, but he brought too much drama into my life for me to accept him back. Any feelings I had are good and gone, they left when I processed all the BS reasons he gave for making our split permanent. He says that he believes that we are soul mates and that God intended for us to be together. My response to that was that the God I know is NOT a God of confusion and disorder and He wouldn’t not have been the one to bring all that chaos to me. He couldn’t do anything but agree, while still trying to convince me that I should give him another shot. Oh well, tough break bruh!

Deception == no trust; no trust == no relationship. If married I’d have to at least try to remediate, but if not successful, that’s that. If not married, I’d probably just walk away.

Monogamy must be a gift given freely. After all, one can’t enforce it upon another, while at the same time, it forms a basis for trust. Were it not so, what would it be worth? Nonetheless, breaking such a trust spells the end for most folks.

MsL That is a perfect example of someone playing mind games. He is either looking for a reason to cheat and making you the blame or he is trying to force you to do something you don’t want to do. I can not think of any other reason for him telling you this. To try to intimidate someone into doing something that they obviously are not willing to by telling them if the don’t then they will step out on them is just lame coming and going.

Steve Harvey was talking about cheating on one of his shows a few weeks ago in the Strawberry Letter. He said that men don’t set out to hurt women when they cheat and that it doesn’t have anything to do with that woman. He is doing to get some kind of gain for himself, like appreciation, admiration, and yeah, just sex. I believe that.

But I also believe that grown men should be able to think far enough ahead to look at the big picture, as in, “I don’t want to hurt her, but I know that this will hurt her for whatever reason, so I won’t do it”. Or realizing that this cheap thrill could cost him his whole family and the life he expected to have after saying I do. Or that he could be exposing himself, his wife and future children (since some diseases can be passed during pregnancy and birth) to diseases. Or that he could impact his family’s financial future by having another child out there that takes bread away from the main table. Or that he could forever see the look of disappointment and hurt in his wife’s eyes when she looks at him, if she stays. It doesn’t seem like it’s worth the cost when you add up all the price tags…

“ladies so is it better for a man to come clean on his thoughts of wanting to step out first versus him not telling you and you finding out the hard way” ….of course, yes by all means. I have an uncle who’s buddy/co-worker did not find out his wife was cheating on him until…SHE DIED OF AIDS…and get this: he of course, took a trip to the doctor to be tested…and he is now fighting for his life, now being diagnosed with full-blown AIDS. This is one of the reasons I sometimes get discouraged at the thought of marriage…b/c to allow someone else to in to what is supposed to be sacred between a man and his wife, just disgusts the hell outta me…it really p*sts me off at the thought. Here I would be thinking on of the privileges of being married is being able to fully trust my husband by not only allowing him to feel me “raw”, but also to really “taste” him…and not have anything to worry about, at all! How shysty is that to expose your husband/wife to that type of ish….when all you had to do is first communicate your thoughts/feelings on your dissatisfaction to your SO.

Good morning blogsville.

On topic: If a chick cheats thats it. There’s nothing to talk about. I’m not going to feed, house, and clothe someone thats giving azz out the back door. Worst part is having to look at that mug everyday. If I did for some stupid reason stay she wouldn’t be able to take it. I’d bring women home and she better not say jack. That spot would be a war zone. Anyway, would never happen because that party is over.

There are alot of married chicks cheating out there. Everyone is fair play. LOL

Also, having cheated myself I will say it never had anything to do with the woman. A sorry lay gets dumped, not cheated on. I cheated because I always thought happiness was between the next womans legs. She was going to take me to the next level. If I could just get that azz I’d be ok. It was the thrill of the hunt.

Jazzy what I was saying is if I wouldn’t put my face in the place I’ll pass on that azz. If we’re not at a point where I can do whatever I want I won’t do anything. No more casual booty.

Did y’all see those Cowboys last night? that was the game of the year. On a sad note, its hard as hell to play 2 games in a short time span and get up mentally for both. This doesn’t look good for Dallas. Where is For Real? Is he on a posting freeze till the Falcons win? We’re gonna miss you dude.

Rell I could’ve had some better closure if he manned up and said what his motivation was. All he said was that it was a game to him, personal entertainment. How can i take that as a real answer because he was caking the chick. You don’t spend lots of $$$ on a game. To me he really has no regard for folks feelings, hers included. That was selfish. Whats funny is the girl even said to me that he’d lie about what he ate for dinner. LOL! I could’ve respected him more had he said he just wanted some Nu-Nu like you. Truth hurts but it will set you free.

@ RELL…I have male friends that are always talking about that ‘ga dome’ as someone coined the term yesterday. It’s like their code or something.

Good morning everyone. Whew!! I’ve been cheated on and ended that relationship. I’ve never cheated on anyone. It’s so disrespectful. If you want someone else’s juices let me go and go after it.

Do you think that a person who cheats on their boyfriend/girlfriend, would do the same during a marriage? No, I don’t think in all cases the same would occur. Some do all of their playing before marriage and settle down once married. Then, some simply keep playing no matter what. It all depends on the character of the person.

When it comes to deception and dating, what bad behaviors are you willing to forgive and forget? Cannot forgive liars. Cannot forgive deception. It’s not necessary. Be a man or woman and be up front.

To some men those price tags are small when you feel stuck in a loveless relationship where your once hot girl turns into the cold queen because you not rubbing her feet or singing her praise in the morning on her beauty…seems like when you get married those small things get amplified into big things when it did not matter when you dated getting sloppy head on highways…some women dont see the change in them when marriage hits..they all start acting like clarie huxtable because they feel like that is what a proper women is suppose to do….no a proper women should get those knees and elbows dirty often…feel me

Third, as the blogfam knows I was cheated on while married, and decided to take her back. WORST mistake I ever made. She of course did it again which i didn’t find out about til a few years later. So if a girl cheats on me this time around, I’m out, no questions asked.

Funny thing is that several of the women I’ve been involved with since my divorce have been “involved” already, a couple even married….

All in all, I never let a chick matter to now enough to care if she cheats or not… It’s all just azz anyway.

Jamoca when I worked at the prison a high ranking muslim inmate had given his wife aids before he got sentenced. She wouldn’t take his calls, no letters, nothing. We had to put the beat down on that cat because he was losing his mind over that thing. Can you imagine trying to explain to your wife or hubby why their gonna die?

Also, I just heard about a good looking chick in Ellenwood that died of aids. She was swinging. Guesss what, her hubby got her into the life. Woooooo

On Topic Once a cheater..always a cheater. There are somethings I can look over..but cheating is the ultimate deal breaker…the unforgivable…the ax! Dating or married…I will NOT resume a realtionship with you. Once that trust is broken you can not get it back! It would be a lifetime of drving mysefl NUTS wondering where he is and what or who is he doing when he is not within my vision…and NO MAN is worth my sanity! So the best thing would be to end it.

Rell What you’re spelling out sounds like a good case for counseling, or divorce if neither party can reconcile, not cheating. If the price tags of cheating seem small, then by all means, get out before people are hurt and go get guilt-free booty.

But you know what? A piece of azz will not alleviate the pain in that post. It’s like putting a dirty bandaid across a bullet wound…the wound will still be bleeding and guess what, now it’s infected too.

Beautiful, thanks again for your candor. I’m from California too, and personally, I’m good right here in GA. I’ve only been here two years, so I probably haven’t gotten fed up with them yet. Cali men are a different breed, indeed.

I think if you are healed and have your exes son, then you should go back home. At least father and son can be together again. Do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, get caught up in that fool again. He will proabably always love you. At the very least you have his son. But remember marriages are up and down. He was probably frustrated that day and was lashing out. Until he leaves the homewrecker (on his OWN ACCORD), believe nothing that he says.

slim…for me, it’s hard to break down the different parts of a relationship based on percentages…in my opinion…it’s all equal…trust is just as important as loyalty is just as important as communication is just as important as sex…

weakness in any one of those areas is like a cancer that will spread to the other issues and derail a relationship…

oh…and i want to add forgiveness…you have GOT to be able to forgive your partner and move on when they mess up…because they are GOING to mess up (and i don’t mean the mess up level of cheating, but on the little slights that add up over time - example he didn’t say good morning, she didn’t come home and cook, he stayed out too late with the boys, she spent some money she didn’t tell you about)…but if you can’t forgive and move past the little things…you are setting the relationship up for failure right out of the box…

Rell That whole post was pointing to how the woman “changing into Claire” made the man feel. And from that, I suppose the point was that if he feels so emasculated and unsatisfied, the way he can get back to feeling like a man again is to cheat, dayum the family. Maybe my reading comprehension skills need work, but that’s what I got from it…. But you’re right, your 10:06 post was one big excuse when the real reason for cheating is selfishness and the inability to control lust and evaluate consequences. No Dr. Phil couch needed for that.

Guilt-free refers specifically to being free of the guilt a man feels when he has to look in his wife’s face after being all up in some other woman’s azz. If you’re single, your escapades will be guilt-free in that sense.

He said: “You show my the finest chick in the world and I’ll show you a brotha that’s tired of f&cking her.” What he meant was, regardless of what a woman does eventually the man is going to desire something new.

Do you think that a person who cheats on their boyfriend/girlfriend, would do the same during a marriage? Yes, if someone isn’t committed to the idea of committment before marriage, most likely they won’t be after the ceremony.

Have you ever dated someone that cheated on you? How did you handle it? If you stayed with them, how did you get past it? Yes, I handled it by leaving. I felt that he had the right to explore his options, just not on my watch.

When it comes to deception and dating, what bad behaviors are you willing to forgive and forget? None, I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking a chance that deception is a strong part of his character.

What kind of dating mistake is unforgivable to you? What kind can you learn to forgive? Cheating, lying. Don’t have an exact list of forgivable mistakes. I handle that on a case by case basis.

and if i listened to the ish the old wives say (which i don’t)…i would start to get those paranoid whispers…if he ain’t getting at home, he’s getting it somewhere…and sometimes…that’s just not the case…

i realize that my man is dealing with life and facing struggles on a day to day basis just like i am…and EVERY NOW AND THEN…it’s okay if sex is not the first thing on his mind (and i stress EVERY NOW AND THEN)…cause sometimes…when we are intimate and his head game ain’t right…i can tell…

so…even though i have a sex drive that says that we could do it er’day…i have to be in tune with his needs and moods to know that today, he might just need me to be close to him and just know that i’ve got his back…

I’m fortunate, I’ve done 3 somes, atms, doms and sub, gs. i’ve had head monsters, babyfaces, the whole 9. I’ve done pretty much everything a guy can do with a woman and it took all that to realize that its just booty. I could of done most of that stuff with my girl if I’d of let her know I wanted to. Its smoke and mirrors. You go running thru the smoke looking for the next big thing and before you wipe off you realize how much time you’ve wasted on this chickenhead (the guys know that moment real well) I say if you have a good chick put some time n her. turn her azz out. If there’s no fire to ignite thats on her but as I said before, a woman thats happy will do ALOT to make you happy.

@ Truth:

“I just feel when a woman is happy she’ll do anything to please you.”

…you definitely have a point.

However, sometimes it could just be very low self esteem for the feeling of needing to over-compensate herself…which it turns shows you, how she “really feels about herself” Similar situation is as followed:

I also have an aunt who is dating a guy who married and has been for at least 25-30 yrs now. She met this “this corporate @ss wipe” on the job, when she was living in Atlanta. Even though she knew this, she continued seeing him..I believe b/c of all the things he did and still does for her.(such as paying her rent each month, all household utilities, car notes, cell phone, clothing, etc).She is at his every beck and call. He flies her all over the place, when he’s traveling on business and most times for pleasure. His wife also knows about my aunt. My aunt is also seeing other guys on the side, but quickly runs to his every whim when he’s either in town or sends for her. It’s like she’s accepted that he’s not going to leave his wife…stating that it’s probably cheaper to keep her anyway. To me, all three of them and to anyone he/she has on the side are just a bunch of DUMMIES! And it’s disappointing when you have a lot of older folk who are practically playing Russian Roulette w/ not only theirs, but also other people’s lives….and wonder what the HELLZ wrong with our children today! She had the nerve to “pick her lips up” and say that she wouldn’t even want to know if she has “THAT NINJA.” WTFFFFK! …and more than half way to 50yrs old, who still looks like she’s about 25yrs old. Talk about sad..mannnn, it’s embarrassing!

Initially, I believe it’s all how a person feels about themselves, FIRST. By paying attention to how they view themselves, you’ll soon hear their actions speak so loud, that you can’t hear the bs their saying anyway, just IMO.

“stroking my own dayum ego about how good of a woman i THINK i am”

If more people would see it that way there would be a lot less broken hearts and dissappointment.

I was asked once by an acquaintance of one of my friends why I think my husband married me. Simple. Because he wanted to. I could on all day about how great I am but at the end of the day he married me because he wanted to. And he remains because he wants to. In all of our self proclaimed greatness do others see us in that light. Or does it even measure up to what we think it does?

Mase made a statement once that most high polluted individuals are not as great of a catch as they assume themselves to be.

we don’t have to go blow for blow, I just wondered, and I urge you to be careful about taking someone’s comments and reducing their life experiences, or making light of what they think/feel/do etc., . you know that none of us are perfect, nobody is claiming to be, and self-righteous jabs are really unattractive on a blog, when we don’t all know each other personally.

Beautiful its not a matter of being strong or weak. Its a matter of being well or not well. If, when you talk or think about it, you get upset, your not over it. Thats a convo for you to work out. If it still has that much emotional control over you your not over it. Its that simple. Now I luv ya to death but if you conveyed to me in convo what you have to blogsville I wouldn’t try to get with ya. Nothing personal but your feelings seem to be pretty obviuos.

I’d say your not over that thing yet and I don’t do 3 somes with other dudes. Sexual or emotional. My .02

Jamoca buried in my statement is an assumption that she was already relatively happy before. A woman with low self esteem is not happy. She reacts to everyones desires and not her own.

Kinder we seem to agree alot these days. LOL No special lady. As everyone knows my relationship ended earlier this year which gives me a great opportunity to decide where I want to go in life. Spend another 10 years chasing azz or go in another direction. I’m ready for a new direction. First I have to get through this crisis and get back on my game. Then I’m going to get mine. LOL

Methinks you’ve been told you were beautiful maybe one too many times! And, you’re probably used to folks catering to your ego….lil mama, the only thing I add chaser to, is my drink! step outside or your comfort zone, and see the truth for what it is….I can give you the tactful truth, or a luscious lie….choose one!

So Off Topic: I was kicking it with this guy and for various reasons I decided that it was not working. So I ask him not to contact me again. He says ok. So for the first offense, he sends me a txt msg that is a forward. I tell him again, please don’t contact me. So now he’s sending another txt and he’s like can’t we be friends? I tell him I thought we already resolved this issue why can’t you just move on and let go?

My question is, what is his problem? He already played his hand (showed his true colors) and now he wants to be friends when I’ve asked that he not contact me. When does he finally get the hint that I’m no longer interested?

“Hey, if guys actually know this…”nothing is free once a woman gives you her body, you will pay in someway,” why do some duded act like it’s a surprise if a woman feels bonded to him after sex?

Hmmm….this definitely makes me think. Someone said to me one day: “ you know, when a man enters a woman’s “body”, does he not leave something there within her?…meaning, it becomes a part of her. Depending how many men she’s been with, they too have become a part of her as well…they have all now become a part of her; by that I mean, once he skeet-skeet-skeets, he does what now?….he then pulls out, goes and washes it (meaning you) of f of him and move on, if he wants…to the next broad. Women can not do this, being that ours are designed to be inside of us….INSIDE OF US…washing around it, is oh so different from going inside and washing it out . So b/c of this, that man has a way of becoming a part of that woman. You know, come to think of it, I believe it was Steve Harvey (on the radio).

SexyCool Whoa….be easy lady. I wasn’t directing that comment to your personal situation. If you’re handling your business like you describe any brother with half a brain would know not to jeopardize that for a nut in the street. However, generally speaking, the comment is not entirely without merit. Rarely do men cheat when the household environment is as ideal as it was portrayed in your earlier post. Typically, husbands stray when the crib is sour (more than likely it has become that way because of his behavior), He reluctantly comes home to an angry, exhausted wife. The atmosphere is tense and distant. The chances of her giving him some azz are slim to none. Now he’s laying next to her in the bed thinking of the fun he could be having if another female were in her place. I have seen dudes hate to go home. These guys would be hangin out having fun and when their wife calls their cell phone they don’t even want to answer it. It’s reached a point where he associates his wife with negativity. In some cases rightfully so. Hence the statement, “Most times he doesn’t necessarily get tired of the sex, but the bullshyt that often accompanies it.” What I just described is not the problem….. it’s the result. The initial problem was a breakdown in communication at some point, or getting so caught up in the daily pressures of life and taking care of adult responsibilities that you forget to take care of each other. Sexy you strike me to be a woman with wisdom; you know how the shyt starts. Then he meets a female that treats him respectfully and caters to him the same way wifey use to.

On topic Only (two) reasons that can make a man or a woman cheat on her partner:

For those with tons of excuse explaining why a SO may cheat or why it’s explainable for a man to cheat, 3 words just for you: “Eventus stultorum magister”

DuShawn that’s the vicious cycle I was describing earlier. The dudes want you to get over it and never bring it up again and be happy go lucky. They don’t want you to nag or question them or even look sideways if something they say don’t sound right, so you become this irritation….then back to the other chick they go because she gives him dome, or caters to him w/o all that…only thing she asks him is when he will get that coach bag she wants. LOL!

Jamoca I have an aunt that dated a married man for over 10 years. The first guy she had a child by was also married. She got married after the first born to a guy over 30 years her senior because he had some cash flow. They got a divorce when he found out she was messing with the married dude, messed herself up. Now shes remarried, for what i feel like is money and is STILL unhappy from my window outside looking in.

@ Staceye:

IMO…they are both DUMB@SSES. Yes, true enough women should come with standard, requirements, etc…but we are talking about something $$ cannot buy anyone, no matter how much $$ they may have. Running the risk of jeopardizing your own health, will have a domino affect on everything you have, (even if you obtained those things, which are usually material bullsh*t)while lying on your back…things that really don’t matter in the end, things you can’t take with you anyway when it’s your devine “time to leave” this world. Like some women who cry and moan about not being treated like a lady, shown respect, etc…how a woman carries herself (and depending on the type of men she not only attracts, but chooses)and behaves, its no wonder why some men treat her @ss accordingly. Note: she states that she tired of being alone and wants a man who is truly committed to her…but what can she expect, doing the same ole’ shyt and expecting (having the nerve) to expect different and better results.

IMO, any ho…no matter their status, no matter the pay, are desperately seeking (crying out) to be loved. In the end, they’re all suckas with no backbone…unable to stand up and tell whoever to go and get his “dizik” greased someplace else…just IMO.

Kinder I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The dudes on this blog are trying to find somewhere to park too. Their convo says one thing but if they weren’t interested in SOMETHING with a woman why would they be here? We all need that interaction with the opposite sex. If that wasn’t there we’d be 500lbs slobs with flys around us. We’re just trying to filter happiness through our pains, whatever they may be.

We guys get fed alot of bull too. The bottom line is this. Women are mirrors for a dude. He may walk around with his chest out all day claiming this and that until he meets a woman that he cares for. If he can’t care for her in whichever way his heart deems appropriate he looks a t himself as a loser. And he is. He blinks and she learns she’s been had. Alot of cats would rather bounce around and be “the man” on a lower levelto many than stay and be “a man” on a higher level to one. He goes where his ego is fed and he knows if he stays with a chick to long she’s gonna know he’s not what he claims. Hit and run is just safer.

For the younger cats thats cool and all. Been there, done that. Its time to get on with life.

Whats amazing is when I wanted booty I saw everything in life that justified my wanting that azz. It fit like a puzzle so I had to be right. Now I look at things differently and I see everything to justify my new wants. We create our own matrix.

that’s the vicious cycle Slim if one wants to save their shyt, somebody has to be mature and selfless enough to break it. I hate to put the onus on the ladies, but men are idiots. I’ve been through every thing that I‘ve discussed here today. If you stay married long enough its inevitable. If wifey didn’t have enough sense to squash everything we were going through and show love even though she really wanted to split my shyt to the white meat with a cast iron skillet, we would probably be another statistic. (My stupid azz pride, I’ll stay mad forever.). To see her put forth that kind of effort to keep our thing together made me feel guilty for being such an azz hole and I wanted to do something nice for her. That’s how you reverse the cycle. People rarely cheat when they’re happy. Ironically, I had a potential mistress on deck. We have some mutual acquaintances and she had been trying me for a minute. This lady told me verbatim that she could be my perfect mistress. She got loot and a raw crib. Told me she would give me a garage door opener so I could pull my whip right inside for discretion. I never took her up on it. But to keep it real with yall, I still got her number.

I guess that may be why I’m a little skiddish around the type of guy who’s “at the top” and feels the need to let his accomplishments get the better of him, when I would think, it has a tendency to humble some folks. Some (not all) begin to wonder themselves if your actions are truly geniune and may try to challenge to ambitions or actions, taking you through an entire obstacle course (which I ain’t wit). When really, I’ve always wanted someone whom I could grow with…so when that significant moment unvails itself as he reeps the benefits of hard work and diligence, not to mention… a strong women at his side, who has no shame of getting her hands dirty, he can at least be at peace in his mind that, I am who I say I am and there won’t be any questions or even the baggage of some “other woman’s” motives threw up in my face.

Here is the opening paragraph of an actual post on New York’s Craigslist, in the Personals section called “Rants & Raves”:

“Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.”

Is this a case of what many here call a woman who knows what she wants and go for it?

Staceye, I really can’t blame you for feeling that way… We’re an awful bunch, guys in my “category”. We appear as relationship potential, primed for the pickens, so to speak, but we really just there for the azz… And I’ll admit at least in my case that a couple of times I’ve tried to look at it with some possibilities, but then she’d do something and my pickiness kicked in.

In my defense(don’t really have one, but whatever)… the other part of the equation is that I HAVE tried to build a relationship with some of the girls I’ve met, done things the right way, only to be tagged as a muthafuggin FRIEND - AGAIN. Which of course sends me back out there, just a little more bitter than before, treating every woman I meet as an objective to either be met or not.

PS - I’ve actually found Mrs. Right… Beautiful, Intelligent, Financially Independent, Divorced no kids like me. Very similar cultural background too. We have several friends in common, it’s actually surprising we didn’t meet before a few months ago. I’m actually taking the friend route on purpose, giving her time to get to know and trust me, since she has a lot of residuals from her divorce 3 years ago. She gives me her time pretty freely for lunch dates and whatnot, partly because I’m currently asking for nothing but her time. ….. all of which of course means when I finally step to her I’m gonna be tagged as a FRIEND, YET AGAIN. I’m just honestly working on not taking the next one out on the rest of the women out there, but each time this happens I get harder and lose a little more faith.

Don’t be mad at the women or yourself, cause it’s not really anyone’s fault if one of you isn’t feeling it like that. It’s hard to take offense when you realize that everythang ain’t for everybody and that you may have dodged a real bullet that it didn’t work out.

Hey, why would you need a mistress?…” Foots Obviously I’ve shared too much, yall ask me about that shyt everyday…lol. Typically, there are two types of infidelity situations, you got the impulse trick. That’s when you’re in an environment where sex is convenient and available. You knock her down and she doesn’t even know your real name. Then you have the most dangerous scenario, where the man has established another relationship outside of his union. That’s a mistress. Normally, in this friendship, it’s not all about the sex. You actually enjoy this persons company and being with her provides a temporary safe haven from the pressures of the outside world and those inevitable family obligations. “Would it be just to have something on the side that your wife wasn’t a participant in?” No, be mindful, if the other parts of the marital situation are not in sync, nobody is in the mood for intimacy. To vibe on that level everyone has to be in a celebratory mood. The atmosphere has to exude happiness, positive energy, and a fondness for life. When a female observes that and they’re offered an opportunity to share the experience they’re normally receptive. If wifey and I are not in a good place emotionally, a threesome is the furthest thing from our minds. We’re not thinking about sex. We trying to keep from killing each other.

By The Truth

Here’s the whole thing. Read the reply also.

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won’t get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

  • Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won’t hurt my feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I’m 25)?

  • Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I’ve seen really ‘plain jane’ boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I’ve seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What’s the story there?

  • Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

  • How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I’m putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I’m being up front about it. I wouldn’t be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn’t able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth.

  • it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

PostingID: 432279810 THE ANSWER Dear Pers-431649184: I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I’m not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here’s how I see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a cr@ppy business deal. Here’s why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here’s the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity…in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won’t be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you’re 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold…hence the rub…marriage. It doesn’t make good business sense to “buy you” (which is what you’re asking) so I’d rather lease. In case you think I’m being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It’s as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as “articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful” as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn’t found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn’t need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you’re going about it the right way. Classic “pump and dump.” I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.

Sorry for the long azz post but the reply was nice.

A man and a woman who are interested in each other (for whatever reason) WILL get things to poppin off without forcing it. When there is one-way interest coming from either direction, the other party lands in the friend zone. Nothing wrong with that, everythang ain’t for everybody.

Yeah, for the most part. I do like to find out what a person’s idea of commitment is when we actually make a commitment to each other, and that usually brings about a discussion of cheating and its consequences. But after that talk, everything has been said that needs to be said about that and we don’t usually talk about it again, unless there is an issue.

BLAT, “attraction is not a choice”, you have to know how to activate it (or at least try) and the friend way wasn’t the way yesterday, it’s not the way today and will never be the way tomorrow. You have to subconsciously force the woman to assess you and assess the possibility of being with you (hypnosis not allowed) and that’s the only way she will let her guards down. It takes more than an average woman to access a friend into a potential mate. You’ve been listening to WLB more than you should……….remember that if you can get into a woman pantie, you can get into the woman heart.

Regarding the post from the woman wanting the rich man… If she would have just posted that she wanted a rich man instead of asking for reasons why she didn’t have one, would that be any different than what men say on here about being upfront with their intentions when they just want azz?

For instance, we heard this today If most men were honest about their dealings with other women, alot of women would be cool with his cheating ways…, which got a couple of co-signs. And we’ve heard from time to time on here “if a man was just upfront about just wanting sex, he’d be surprised at what he could get”. Maybe she was thinking in the same way: If I’m just upfront about what I’m looking for, I’ll be surprised at what I can get… What do y’all think?

I naturally asked if he was single, just being funny. Anyhoo, she was telling me that he had discussed getting married to the chick he’s been dating. Now she is 2 yrs older than him and already has two kids. He has one son and is obviously no longer with his childs mother. So she asked him if he was sure this woman is someone he sees himself with in the long run and possibly have more kids with. Now here I am all single with NO kids. I’ve heard this scenario fairly often. Man gets with chick with multiple kids from previous relationships. I had this same convo with a male friend of mine. He said he thinks that men love to feel needed. So women with kids will more often than not have more needs to fulful the mans ego as apposed to a single-childless women, who would be more independent.

Foots what a guy looks for in a wife is totally different from what he looks for in a knockoff.

A knockoff needs to have something to attract his eye. Butt, looks, breasts, reputation, something that makes him want to get with her.

For a wife he looks for a place he can rest his head. Some peace on earth. Someone he can call home.

A knockoff will never be competition for a good wife.

Rell, While i see your point, you’re completely misunderstanding my approach here… I’m not going at her as “just a friend”. I’ve at no time stated that. Rather, I’m simply not going full bore in the other direction yet because she’s not ready. She knows I’m interested unless she’s incredibly naive. I did step to her some when I met her and I’ve done things to show I’m interested. I’m basically just giving it some time to get to know her as well cuz I don’t wanna make a mistake either… We saw each other at the club this Friday, and on Monday I got a text that reeked of hidden jealousy, asking me directly about some girl I talked to… So I know I’m on the right track…

Rell-Foots Just because I dont’ have any kids don’t mean I don’t require a little help. Shyt, I got plenty of bills a guy can chose from to pay for me. Just tell me where I need to bring my stack of mail to.

Here is a LTO:

  • Why do people drive realllll slow in their cars then park and walk faster than they were driving?

  • Has anyone ever eaten bison meat?

  • Do we really need a pecan flavor drink? Is me or does pecan juice sound nasty.

  • On topic I think:

  • If you want to get out of the friend zone just show up at her house nekked. You will either end getting some or in a high speed car chase with the Po-Po, either way you will no longer be in the friend zone.

  • Who the hellz are these men that need to feel needed that they would take on a women with kids just bc they want to feel needed? There isn’t a day that goes by that someone isn’t calling my name wanting something.

  • 500K doesn’t make her a gold digger that’s more like Sliver digger. Oh and Phoots the difference between a dude saying I want some azz and her is that she wants a lifetime commitment based on how much money that man has. Dude just wants some azz tonight.

  • As for Plain Jane with rich husband, that’s easy he wasn’t always rich and she was with him before he became rich. Or they just got poor taste in women.

  • There is no such thing as cheating if you are single. The only people that can cheat are married people. Married people are the only ones that took an oath before God. Period!!!!

  • If you are married and you cheat the bible tells you what to do.

  • Reasons that men and women cheat. THEY CHOOSE TO!!!!

  • I may have said this before but I’ll say again: *I am so tired of women whining complaining about all they do. You don’t give 100% bc you are not capable of 100%. Who in the hellz asked you to be superwoman?

    Slim, Foots men don’t like to feel needed, actually they hate it. They like being wanted. Women with kid (s) are very mature and confident; they learned how to manage money (w/ kid), they call when they say they will, they are on time, they are stable and treat a man with respect. A friend of mine is dating 32 years old w/ 1kid and they alternate to fund their dates. I’m so jealous because if it’s not my birthday, I’m always one who pays on every date; trip……..That’s the difference…….. It’s not about being needed, it’s about consistency; about game less relationship…..it’s about stability that single childless women don’t have. There is something about those women that I can’t resist to; something about wanting a man badly and not needing him at all. It’s very attractive indeed. Wants and needs are very different

    Foots I think there is a time in a place for being forthright. The forum she choose was the wrong place. If she truly wanted some insight she should’ve asked a female that’s already a successful gold digger how she came up. Regarding men being upfront with there intentions. True playas know the best game is no game. When dealing with a female, you want to be honest and not mislead her, but at the same time, one has to choose the appropriate setting to disclose this info. I mean, you can’t just meet a person and say I don’t want a relationship. I just want to f&ck. It might sound good in theory, but trust me, it won’t work in practice. She’s not going to admire your honesty, she’s going to think you’re a mafuggin pervert. By the same token, if a female told me on our initial meeting, that she didn’t want to waste her time in a relationship that was not going anywhere, because her intentions were to find a husband, I would think she was presumptuous and a little weird.

    The kidnappers email Slim a picture of BM suspended from a rope over a bucket chlorine water

    To: Slim@yahoo.com From: Kidnapper@hotmail.com cc: otherkidnapper@msn.com Subject: BM

    Dear Slim, There is an old saying “A picture is worth a 1,000 words”. In this case it better be worth $10,000 or else. Remember, nickels and dimes…

    Thank you, Kidnapper

    Don’t put a question mark where God put a period.

    Other Kidnapper: I got the email that was good but you forgot to turn off your signature.

    Mochalatte meet BennyB!! LOL!! it’s about stability that single childless women don’t have.

    What type of stability do you speak of? It’s so subjective, because opinions are formed depending on who you meet and what you are exposed to.

    Truth Hell Naw!! going out solo is cheating. Ours is not a traditional “Open Relationship” as it is so often referred to in this forum. It’s intricate rules to the shyt. No making love to the outsiders, just f&ck em. Definetly don’t kiss em. The way we get down is not for the faint of heart and it’s not something we do often (She’s extremely choosy, it has to be a top shelf chick that she’s developed a friendship with. Now, I love when her girls from the crib come and visit, because we’re all old friends) We look at an extra female or two as sex toys. It’s really our party, we just muttin these hoez out together. We be giving high fives behind they back and all..lol. When we’re through with them we put they azz back in the drawer like Slims bullet. But you have to realize, before we got married and had kids, we were some gangsta potnahs. We would go out to clubs and compete to see who could pull the most females back to our table. I’d see a chick I like and try to pull her, If I can’t get her and return to the table unsuccessful, she would laugh and say ”check this out” and go pull the same chick. My homeboyz used to jokingly say they were going to stop inviting us to their parties, because when we leave every bad chick in the party leaves with us. Now here we are in Georgia, 10 years and three babies later. We still have our moments, but it’s a lot different. We went from Bonnie and Clyde to Cliff and Claire, but we ain’t new to this.

    Dear Kidnappers,

    I must say that was really cute. I have attached a few pictures of my own.

    P.S Nice signature dummies!

    Kidnapper opens up the first picture to see Slim rolling around on a bed of nickles, dimes and about 20 other Bullets, all the while giving them the middle finger. The next picture was a photo of both of the kidnappers spooning in what looked to be a basement with a twin bed and My Little Pony sheets…caption read: Have you seen these two men? Action 2 News

    Rell, well I can tell you why I’m single. Men are hunters and I’m not into giving chase. Once you get past my rigorous screening process, you pretty much know you’ve got a chick that is going to ryde or die for you til the end. (Which is what many guys say they want!)

    However, if you know your girl is gonna be there pretty much thru thick and thin, most men can’t resist trying to play the field for as long as I will allow it. As much as I know I should flip the game to my benefit, it just ain’t me.

    Don’t know if it makes that much sense but all my relationships end because of “timing” and nothing else. I’m always ready to move to the next level and they are still looking to make sure there is nothing better out there.
