Relationship relapse

My sister is having a bad week. She had been making a lot of progress since Jorge broke up with her, going out, having fun, and generally putting herself back on the market since her New Year’s Eve breakup.

But she’s had a relapse, which is understandable after only two months, and is missing him while she’s helping her best friend plan her wedding. After two months of solid self-esteem boosting, she wants him to come back.

My friend Ann told me last night that she had a boyfriend once who, after the breakup, would call every few months, telling her he wanted to meet. And the occasional call left Ann feeling like maybe this guy was still interested. It wasn’t until he finally stopped calling for good that she realized the relationship was definitely over.

Have you ever had a serious relapse after getting over an ex? Was it because you simply missed the person, because they didn’t stop calling you or because you really hadn’t moved on yet?

Have you ever had to really thump it into your own skull that a relationship is clearly over?

Talked to one last night.

You get those phone calls and you talk, akwardly, knowing nothing will come of it. Waiting…hoping not to hear…changing the subject.

But yeah, those conversations can be kinda fun.

In other news: The male specie has decided (after the vote last night) that if we are to have no contact with our children per the mother’s order…there will be no child support request made. “If you want to have the child, against the man’s wishes; then you are to bear the complete responsibility for your decision.” —- When chickenheads come home to roost

I have mixed feelings about the calls from exes. On one hand, it is sort of an ego boost - you think “Aha, he is seeing what he lost!”. But, hopefully you realize that you broke up for a reason and unless the person or situation that broke you up has drastically changed, things will not be any different. I think I called a guy I broke up with in college once. Since then I absolutely NEVER call an ex. I used to accept the ex call, now I don’t even do that. Just let the phone ring. No “be friends” stuff either, just setting yourself up for more heartache, especially if you are not quite over the person. No matter how tempted you are to talk to the person, it’s really best to just make a clean break.

last week, this guy i meet on myspace back in december called me. for v-day i bought myself a new phone so i didn’t take the time to put in all my numbers. i don’t answer any guys call if i used to date him. anyways, a call came thru and it was Walt. i put the phone under the pillow and said damn really softly. lol. that was the worst conversation i’ve had in a very long time. we stopped dating for a reason. but like kimmie said, it feels good to know your thought of. also, ex’s always come back, always. they wanna know if the puddy is still available just for old time sake. not!

Good morning to all. Fore head kisses to all the ladies. There’s always a song, her scent. The song you use to dance to. We know its over. Its hard getting her out of your mind. A phone call is made. You have a respectable conversation. The window of HOPE is there. You make plans to see each other again. BANG. Now I know why we are not together. Let it go and move on.

Ironically, I got a late-night call from someone that I told a few months ago it was over.

He called - I didn’t answer. He texted - I didn’t even acknowledge it.

We’re still friends but that’s it. I’ve been extremely clear. Apparently he’s not hearing it. I inadvertently mentioned I had been on a date a few days ago. I think that was what was behind the call.

I admit that I wish things were different but they aren’t. He had two years to get his act straight. I’m moving on - it hasn’t been easy but the hook-up suggestions are making me even rethink if we can continue to be friends. I told him point blank that I couldn’t handle that sort of relationship considering our past and my feelings for him. Him making these suggestions feels like he’s rubbing my face in it - discounting my feelings for his own potential pleasure.

good morning good ppl

ON TOPIC ive had a hard time moving on…. mostly cause i fail to put my foot down and stop the phone calls ‘just to chat’…. the connection is never completely broken if you’re having constant, un-necessary conversation. its hard when its your ex-husband and there are children involved. but there were some conversations that we just shouldnt’ve (<—- is that a word??) been having….

OFF TOPIC

DAN you confuse me. explain your ‘vote’ from last night… and how you stumbled up on that. but first explain where you get that women have children against men’s wishes (aside from gold-diggers and the like) and then dont want a man to be in the child’s life??

please dont say you came to this conclusion after what we discussed yesterday… cause that would be straight ludicrous.

This topic really strikes a chord with me. It was last June that I ended a tumultuous 7 year on and off relationship. Everytime it went from off to back on it progressed to another level. During the final on period we became engaged and were in pre-marital counseling and all that. Thankfully we ended for good before taking that final step to getting married. The one thing I say was that I learned alot!! I go back and forth with being angry with myself for allowing something I knew in my heart was not right to continue for so long but then I realize that it took this long for me to truly get it. I think that depending upon where you are in life it might take some time to really get the lesson that the situation is suppose to teach you and until then you will be tempted to go back.

Morning all. I’m with kimmie.

Well, I think the break up thing is takes a bigger emotional toll on the women, so I simply refuse to call an ex once we’ve established “it’s over.” This means absolutely no calling. No just checking in to see how he’s doing, no “come and get your stuff”. That what trash cans are for.

It’s easier to find closure once YOU’VE determined that it’s over. You don’t need him to verify it for you. You don’t need a late night phone call or booty call to get you confused.

That’s not to say that I’ve never taken a call from an ex. But first of all, it has to be a significant amount of time to pass before I’ll pick up the phone. Like 6 months. Then you have to realize that they just don’t want to burn a bridge and want to see if their puddy account is good. That’s why I don’t have ex sex. And after a few dinners they realize they ain’t gettin any and slither back to where they came from. And then that bridge is successsfully burned.

Morning, all. :-)

Bella “…going out, having fun, and generally putting herself back on the market since her New Year’s Eve breakup…”

Seems to me that this wasn’t a “relapse” at all. As I see it, your sister was simply responding in the by-the-book manner she “thought” was right, only to find out she was only delaying the inevitable post-breakup letdown. Instead of setting aside her pride and allowing herself time to deal with the reality of the relationship coming to an end, she put herself back out there too soon, thinking that engaging in the aforementioned “activities” would get her back to where she needed to be emotionally, only to find out she jumped the gun.

In my opinion, what your sister needs to understand is that when relationships end, she has nothing to prove to anyone as it relates to showing them that she can “take a punch” and get right back up. It’s okay to grieve a love lost and take the necessary time to regain your senses. She should allow herself to do that first, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

Me and this gal dated in college, broke up over the summer, and when the fall term rolled back around, I wanted to get back with her; Hell, I had left my main thang in FL, so I needed a constant in Charleston; She wanted to get back together as well, but didn’t want to admit to it…she was a smart chic, always telling me she was smarter than me, so we played Jeopardy, and I “won” her back; then beat the brakes offa her azz!

Although it took 6 months for me to relapse, it landed me back in between the sheets (no sheets really involved) with that deceiver. And yes it was the constant coming over “to see his son”, HA!!, the talking at me, the touching me (just merely on the hand, arm, neck…nothing openly seductive), the promises (lies), the whispers against my ear. Yeah it was all weighing me down. Every time I even thought of allowing that man to touch me again I would tell myself, “I am not going to do it. He is not going to get to me. I am NOT going to do it.” One day I found myself sitting in the tub saying “I was not supposed to do that. How did I let that happen?” LOL

sigh

When you see a Dumb Chick slap her with Brick!!! (smack)

After that incident I talked to my mom, not that I wanted to (however I needed to), she just kind of forced it out of me. She told me you can’t keep doing that ‘Raqi’. You have to stand your ground no matter how much you want it, you can’t do that. (HA easy for her to say). She assured me that he will be back and for sure he came back, again. And again. And again. When he saw that I was not going to budge for him he stopped coming around for a while. Once my son got old enough for him to come take him to visit, it started again. Him coming over to visit his son but talking at me. Him coming over in the evenings when he knew the boy would be asleep. But I wasn’t hearing it. Eventually I started dating some one else (the nature guy). But every now and then he would test his luck just to see.

Did I ever tell you all about the time he tried to snatch me out of the door? Hurt my freakin’ arm. Arsehole.

Darrell - Cosign your post. I learned that lesson the hard way, that you really have to give yourself time to grieve a loss, and it is a loss if that person was a major part of your life for any length of time. I listened to my friends once and jumped back on the party/club scene after a breakup. I went to this club and all these tired dudes were all up on me & the women looking crazy, fighting over the same 2 dudes everybody in the ATL wants. I felt like I could’nt breathe, started crying and my girls took me home. Since then, I give myself time to chill, either be by myself or with family & good friends and just take it easy before trying to date again. Don’t have to prove anything to anyone. And the ex calling back to activate the puddy account is an insult!

As for ex’s tend to move on and not go backwards have missed the relationship but no so much the person. I tend to end things on a positive note and no hate or shade is thrown, simple for me. I do still have feelings for my ex but I have realized that they are more of a brother sister feeling I miss the companionship of a relationship not so much him. I am not dating one person and out of respect for him and myself we don’t talk as much to ex’s. But friendly non the less.

Talking to exes isn’t bad at all. I’m ususally thru with a chick before we’ve had that convo so its no big thing. Give them time and when they call back and need some dyck you can bone without all the forever talk. Its actually better. Let some other cat listen to that “where is this going” convo. Plus they remain great clients. LOL

Ladies, he’s not calling because he’s seen the light and now knows what wonderful person you are. He’s horny since he’s been there it’s instinctual to go there first. As soon as he hung up with you he was calling someone else. LOL

Dan I proposed something even better. If a chick isn’t in a marraige with both parties consenting then the chick isn’t entitled to any support. That loud clapping sound you now hear is these womens legs closing forcefully.

Kolla - The truth of the matter is that many of our dating relationships dont’ start out as friendships. For me, it’s not about ill feelings towards the ex, it’s about we broke up, we weren’t that good of friends or you wouldn’t have disrespected our relationship the way you did. So there really isn’t much to say after the break up.

People come in your life for a reason, sometimes, once you learn your lesson, you need to move on. There is no need to be “friends” right away after a break up. I think both sides need time with no contact to let any romantic and hurt feelings to subside.

AmazonR Yeah it was hard at times. It was the “stickiness” that I was trying to avoid. Especially those times when I “needed” him, really, really bad. There were days when I would be standing there talking to him and thinking “Lord if this man comes within a foot of me I am going burst into flames”. But I had to be strong. It got a lot easier once the sexual bond between us started to diminish. Once the babe got older I would just leave them to themselves and go find something to do in another room. And like I said earlier once I started getting that male attention from someone else all was well.

Hi Everyone.

I believe everyone deserves a second chance. When a person decides to call it quits, sometimes they realize after awhile that the decision they made was a mistake. Or they realize that the person (new) who took their attention away from you really isn’t all that. When they realize who is better for them and come back, don’t tell them i told you so. Except their apologies and make it work.

Ared its a numbers and time game. If you did them right when you were together they always come back. Just give them time to deal with it. I knocked off my ex wife for 5 years after she had remarried. I remember her asking me to hold her one day. I said “thats for your husband, we don’t get down like that”. LOL Also, because I’m somewhat business savvy I get a few business related questions and calls. It keeps the convo open till she gets over herself and gets horny.

BK that goes back to my statement that we’re all just selfish b******* masquerading as nice people. It really is warfare out there. We only care as much as we have an interest and expected outcome.

Staceye before I started blogging I felt and have said many times that a cat should always take care of his seed. I’m now officially retracting that statemant. For some cats the best thing they could do is walk away from you and never speak your name again. Alot of you are trainwrecks looking for a wall to hit and nobody should be burdened with having you in their life. I can honestly see why a dude would walk away from you and the child.

Hello Melo.

BK, I don’t despise my ex, but I definitely do not like the person he is. I still go out of my way for him to be part of his daugther’s life. I have no intentions of getting back w/him, and in some cases the phrase “never say never” aptly applies. Although I have moved on and he hasn’t is of no concern to me. A received another letter from him last week. I decided to do something different. Instead of accepting the letter I simply handed it back to him. The door has closed!

Okay everyone it is officially after ten so here I go. Late last nite I receive a call from one of my friends lets call her “Sugar”. Okay sugar had texted her on again boyfriend and told him that she was going to erase his number from her phone because she hadn’t talk to him in an entire day. She said five minutes later she received a called from a girl “Kat” who is also involved with “Dave”. Now he is constantly between the both of them. He is either with one or the other. Sugar let him know when she got back with him that she really didn’t want him to leave “Kat” because when he is with the both of them “Kat” experiences all the bad and “Sugar experiences all the good. She basically says that she likes being the other woman. She spoke on the phone with “Kat” for over a hour. “Kat” cried and everything saying that she wanted to leave him and “Sugar” pleaded with her to stay. So they ended the conversation open because “Sugar” told me that she think that “Dave” walked in the room. A hour passed and “Kat” texted “Sugar” and told her that she might as well pack her stuff and move in because he told her that he is never going to leave “Sugar” alone.

its a numbers and time game. If you did them right when you were together they always come back.

Truth, I’m nodding my head taking it all in. All of my exes have come back, but none of em came back trying to really make it work. I think they were hoping for friendship…with benefits. Can’t do it.

If one of em came at me genuine…maybe. But now that time has passed, I don’t see how a marriage would have worked, with any of em. They’d have to convince me otherwise, and the lazy men of today aren’t up for that type of work.

Simp, you’re reading me wrong. No weak spot for my ex.

ARed, the car I co-signed for him he left it a body shop years ago and never went to get it back because he didn’t want to pay the repair bill. He hasn’t had a car now for the past 4 years. No, he doesn’t have a car NOT because his $$ go to child support. The little I get is a disgrace! He doesn’t have a car because he doesn’t know how to manage $$, don’t care to go out and get more $$, but more importantly don’t want to stop doing the destructive things he’s been doing for so long!

ARed, when I met him I too wasn’t in the best of places mentally. I had lost my job and my house. I had moved into an apartment and didn’t know anyone. Worked w/his cousin and when he came to visit from NY I escorted him around the ATL. We had a lot of fun together and seemed to want the same things in life. He moved here, found a job and I thought was working toward building a life. A year of dating I got pregnant. We talked about everything and our future. He asked me to marry him and I said yes because I loved him and both our feet seemed to have been on the same path to bettering our lives. Lo and behold I soon realized I was his “muse” to being the mother of his child while he thumped his chest like King Kong bellowing I’m the man and I’ll do what I want. As I’ve stated, I lost myself during these years and concentrated on being a mother and making sure the family survived. Was it my sole responsibility NO. But that what it ended up being until I got the nerve, the belief back in myself that I deserved more. When I got back to being “ME” that’s when I turned back into the “kick a$$” woman you know today.

Darrell, perhaps I worded that wrong. What I meant by that was a lot of women say “how did that happen”. I’m glad he hasn’t crossed over my threshold since moving out becuase I don’t have the stomach to go through the “sweet nothings” that will come out of his mouth in an attempt to get my panties around my ankle. No it won’t happen, but don’t want to turn back into that “beotch” I know I can be. I like where I am, I love who I am, and I just don’t want to be around. Truthfully, I don’t want my daughter to know just how much I don’t like her father. She doesn’t need to know this.

Darrell, it’s cool. I understand why you asked and I can understand how I may come across like “WTF!” The person I am today is who I’ve always been. Somewhere along the stress of life I put myself on the back burner and took on the role of making sure my family survived. My daughter deserves ALL I can do and give her. He didn’t feel the same way. It took me many years to leave, but I always knew I was leaving. Because I was strong “back in the day” it helped me to find myself again and return to the beautiful black woman I know Iam. No BS. It helped. Some people wake up and some people stay in the mire of bs they dug around themselves. I had to climb out because I’ve always believed I was better than the mess I put myself in.

Please, do not stop paying your bills and do now lower your FICO for some stank puddy, becuase that’s what you’ll get (LOL). You won’t be attracting quality women by doing that. But you already know this (wink wink).

I’ve said, “now [once] the pressure is off to be together, why can’t we just be.” Assuming we were friendly in the first place.

Dan, I’ll bite and I’m speaking ONLY for myself. I don’t date anyone that I don’t see a future with. Yes, I do know that everyone you date will not be the one you marry, but why spend time and mix bodily fluids with just anyone?

So when the relationship fails, essentially what’s being said is “you’re not good enough to spend my life with.” That’s some rejection for your azz and not easily reconciled. Thinking of my past break ups, we were friendly, but the end didn’t happen that way. You realize the person you cared for/loved really hurt you.

So like I said before, maybe after months of separation, you can get to that “friendly place.” But for me, often times I see a guy I put my all into who basically looked at me and said, “you ain’t the one.” I have enough friends.

So I’d rather spend my energy in pursuit of the one who will never let me go.

Can’t find one.

DasV as tacky as it sounds everyone is sloppy seconds today. Point me to the virgin. Worse than that is emotionally some are not so fresh and so clean clean. The same chicks that come in here professing loyalty do so reserving the right to fugg the next Mr. Right if and when she meets him. This is what adults do. Its not good or bad it just is. Some sit on the sideline for a minute but you gotta get back in the game. It’s life.

Ared “So when the relationship fails, essentially what’s being said is “you’re not good enough to spend my life with.”” I think your processing the info wrong. Basically you are unacceptable to eveyone on the face of the earth but one person. You can’t take everyting personally or it clogs you up like government cheese. Read ” The Four Agremments” and it will shed light on not taking anything personally. It’s never personal. People filter their life thru their shades is all. Someone could, for instance, love you to death but not be at a point where they need those types of binds. They could be contemplating moving back home for instance. It’s not personal. It never is.

Ared - Again cosign.

Dan - Dan, the type of situation you speak of almost never happens. When an ex calls me, I don’t automatically assume it’s for sex unless it’s 2am. And really, I believe most of my exes liked me as a person, but they did not treat me like it when we dated, hence the breakup. So why would I want to assume now they just want to “hang out”? Too many tender feelings! Things really get complicated when either one of you starts dating someone. Think your girl is going to be “cool” with you “hanging out” with your ex, yeah the one you saw “naked”? Or, would you be that “understanding” if your girl called you up & said she was just going to be hanging out “platonically” with her ex? How often would you be accepting of this? Once a week, once a month? Get real, man, the scenario you painted depends on too many factors working out perfectly. Life is messy!

It’s not personal. It never is.

Truth, that’s not necessarily true. If the point is you don’t want to be with a person, why mistreat someone or cheat on them. That makes it personal.

But fine, if it’s not personal, realize it’s the same when I say I don’t think we can be friends. And lets be real, most men really aren’t trying to be your friend, they just say that so they don’t come off like a bad guy.

kimmie - Amen on your 11:46! Dating on here is definitely like an alternate universe sometimes. One day, the men will talk about how they dogged a chick out…and then the next they’re gonna say their worthy of their friendship. Not buying it.

Ared nobodies ever cheated on you because of something you did. They did that for personal satisfaction. You could have been laying it down like Judge Dreadd but the other person has to decide thats what he needs and nothing else. Hell, you could of reminded him of a chick that cheated on him and he’s trying to protect himself. Who knows?

On the being friends afterwards part thats your call. For me its a sign there’s no more amorous feelings there. I’m thru with it. I did date one chick that just brought out bad things in me and I chose not to be friends aftrwards, but that was to keep from taking a charge. Other than that life goes on.

Ask the cats that have cheated which ones did it to hurt their partner.

Flav needs to apologize to Hotlanta for being so rude. Many American’s have fever blisters (which is Type 1 herpes. (most people have it in their body and don’t know because they don’t get outbreaks.) Fever Blisters are NOT Type 2 Genital herpes. So, read up your facts and get a little educated before you make judgements and say rude things to other people. Flav…get your facts straight.

In case you didn’t know. Fever blisters and canker sores are two of the most common disorders of the mouth, causing discomfort and annoyance to millions of Americans. Both cause small sores to develop in or around the mouth, and often are confused with each other.

Fever blisters are caused by a contagious virus called herpes simplex. There are two types of herpes simplex virus. Type 1 usually causes oral herpes, or fever blisters. Type 2 usually causes genital herpes. Although both type 1 and type 2 viruses can infect oral tissues, more than 95 percent of recurrent fever blister outbreaks are caused by the type 1 virus.

Most people infected with the type 1 herpes simplex virus became infected before they were 10 years old. The virus usually invades the moist membrane cells of the lips, throat or mouth. In most people, the initial infection causes no symptoms. About 15 percent of patients, however, develop many fluid-filled blisters inside and outside the mouth 3 to 5 days after they are infected with the virus. These may be accompanied by fever, swollen neck glands and general aches. The blisters tend to merge and then collapse. Often a yellowish crust forms over the sores, which usually heal without scarring within 2 weeks.

The herpes virus, however, stays in the body. Once a person is infected with oral herpes, the virus remains in a nerve located near the cheekbone. It may stay permanently inactive in this site, or it may occasionally travel down the nerve to the skin surface, causing a recurrence of fever blisters. Recurring blisters usually erupt at the outside edge of the lip or the edge of the nostril, but can also occur on the chin, cheeks, or inside the mouth.

The symptoms of recurrent fever blister attacks usually are less severe than those experienced by some people after an initial infection. Recurrences appear to be less frequent after age 35. Many people who have recurring fever blisters feel itching, tingling or burning in the lip 1 to 3 days before the blister appears.

@ARed

Yes, this is a dating site. But what I talking about is one way to process the end of a dating relationship.

Why didn’t it work? Maybe I couldn’t see myself being with this person romantically, but that doesn’t mean she’s not wonderful. I like her as a person, just not romantically.

And therein lies my argument, even after we were romantically involved, those feeling for you never go away, they turn into something else. But in an effort to remain (in my mind) a good person, I don’t want you to think that there is something wrong with you. I just didn’t respond on an intimate and lasting level with you.

Does that make sense?

Staceye, it was the same when I was growing up. One big difference is if someone didn’t want to join a gang, you weren’t shot. You got your behind kicked and left short of death. Back then fists were used not so many guns. A few of my friends joined gangs (very prevalent in the Bronx) and that’s when we stopped being friends. I was asked only once to join, but my boniness once again was on my side (LOL).

Some people are not exposed to any other environment other that their own and it helps to take children outside of their community and let them experience something else.

Many, many gangs members are2nd, 3rd and 4th generation members because that’s all they know and they see their environments as war zones. Many of those people feel like they have to fight till the death for what little they have or what they are lacking to become part of something or get the love they desire from gang members and that’s the only family they know. Freedom Writers was a perfect example of how a child’s life can be changed if taken out of their environments. It’s not as black and white as many people think. Read the book “Monster” or rent the movie and you will see a small window into what we all think is reprehensible to us but sensible to them.

Some of our communities spawn a viscious cycle of depression, poverty, destruction and the like. meanwhile life goes on and the world turns as most look throgh a small window into the world of others that they will never understand and can only sit back and throw judgement on.

It is unfortunate that lives are lost. These issues didn’t just pop up yesterday and they won’t end tomorrow.

He told me he’d never connected with someone like he did with me, so he really wanted to be friends. Yeah right. We hung out once and it was cool. He sent me a text recently to say that he has a new girlfriend and that we probably shouldn’t speak again. So much for friends. But he did sent me a text message a couple weeks ago wanting some azz.

Well, Kimmie, that’s you.

I try to deal with reasonable people capable of dealing in their emotions. And no, it wasn’t “we break up Monday and I call you Tuesday”. There were weeks in between contact.

But I’ll call, to see how you are, and instead of the conversation leading to “what happened” that’s how I begin: ” I think you’re an awesome woman, with an intelligence the likes of which I haven’t seen….but I can’t be what you wanted me to be for you. I’m just not that dude right now. But I enjoy talking to you, and would like ot continue doing so….”

I don’t date strangers, I date friends, whether they were strangers when we met or before we got down, if we dating, we’re friends first.

So maybe that’s why it works. But they move on, I’m happy for them, and I do too. Get fie,fie Christmas and Birthday cards and the whole nine.

If so, you statement to ARed is valid. If not, nothing is typical, just common to your relationships. In the latter case, it might not be the guys. It may be you.

Red An extenuating circumstance presented itsself early in the process and he decided that he couldn’t deal with it at the time. He told me he’d never connected with someone like he did with me, so he really wanted to be friends. Yeah right. We hung out once and it was cool. He sent me a text recently to say that he has a new girlfriend and that we probably shouldn’t speak again. So much for friends. But he did sent me a text message a couple weeks ago wanting some azz.

I gotta call bull ish on you for this one, dayum. Extenuating circumstances? So what was it that he couldn’t deal with, you had a herpes breakout? needed to borrow some cash? Recently, yoll hung out once but then he’s got a new girl and you can’t call. And then he ask for the draws just 2 weeks ago. He must’ve already hit to just come out with the draws requisition.

Jazzy that is the one area where I am having to really learn to deal with. All of their life I have tried to do what was best for my sons in hopes of them growing to be good men. And now that Mason is in the house, I get blocked (privately) on a lot of things because he says I should do things differently when it comes to them. He is always saying ‘You can’t do them like that’, ‘You need to let them this, that and the other’, ‘They are men let them make those mistakes’. I understand that he is a man and he knows better than I do but a mother’s love can’t be extinguished.

Dan - I have a Webster’s, thank you! And I’m not criticizing you or how you roll. You are obviously “not” typical if you are able to make things work so smoothly at the end of a relationship. In fact, if what you say is true, that makes you exceptional in MY book. When I say typical, I mean typical of the guys women usually complain about when they post on this blog. Yes, in “my” little statistical sample of men I have dated, we are not at each other’s throat, but we are not all chummy either when we break up. Much like any other male or female that share their experiences on the blog. I believe in the good in most people and I believe most don’t set out to intentionally hurt others. A lot of people have a hard time even breaking up with a person because they don’t want to hurt their feelings, especially if they still believe that other person is a good person. I believe what Ared said, a lot of guys (and women, for that matter) like to throw out that they want to be friends to not come off as bad. Somehow, the “friend” offer lessens the blow. You said you don’t go back & try to get the azz - it’s been MY observation just living life this long that quite a few men do! Your behavior is exemplary, some others, not so. It’s hurtful to have a man say kind things to you, like you mentioned in your 2:00 post and then in the next breathe, ask for some azz. It’s a slap in the face! If there are kids involved, I think you owe them to try to salvage some type of friendship. Why do some people have such a hard time with the concept of one not wanting to remain friends with an ex if there are no kids? What’s wrong with just wanting to keep it moving? I have exes right now that if they needed anything, I care enough about them as a person to help them. Others I never want to lay eyes or ears on again - sorry, it’s not pretty but it is what it is.

I don’t think anyone is saying that it’s downhill just because a father isn’t in the home. I think more than a few cats on this blog (including me) have admitted to being raised by a single mom. The key to raising a boy to be a man is STAYING ON THAT A*! That’s just something a father is more proficient at. We don’t coddle, we don’t appease, we don’t let up. You’re gonna handle your biz or bust your a^s trying. He has to know that no matter how valid or real his obstacles are, no one is going to acknowledge those as reasons for failure. At the end of the day, people want results, not reasons.

Dreams gotta co-sign that one. I was raised by a single mom but with strong male influences. Even moms was tougher than a rattlesnake tho. I go back to my elem school and meet a woman that was there when I graduted. We talked and all she could talk about is when moms slapped the principle for paddling me. Then she took me home and wupped my azz. That was before that kinda thing was called assault. Also, back then any of the men that was in the loop would wupp that azz good. I remember a cat straight putting the nials to me. I’m like, man I’m 10 years old. Those were the days.

I also give alot of credit to some young cats that took me under their wing when I went in the army at 17. They layed alot out for me including credit, finances, life skillz. These cats upped my skill level significantly. I stay in touch with a few and enjoy swapping stories about what happened. I didn’t even know what credit was. It’s tough growing up poor. LOL

Kimmie I don’t blame you mami…I refuse to give the EX sex! I’d do a stranger first! Obviously we broke up for a reason and I don’t want any of your “lovin”! Familiarity has too much value!

Dreams I agree with you about a man raising a boy…but ony if he is a good man himself. Some fathers aren’t worth the skin they are in…so the child is better off with the mom and if she has male relatives she can get them to intervene.

Cee * co-sign your 3:13. Its what I said in another post in the past! Women coddle the boys too much and give them Baby Boy syndrome! There is NO WAY a grown azz man will be living in my crib. If he is in school he will also have a part time job and I will make him pay soome bills. As a high school student he would have a part time gig and out of each check pay $25. It’s not much but it shows that this life is not free. Technically if I am not hurting, the $25 would be going a secret account so when he goes off to college he gets it back.

Melo that is why the act of making love has been watered down to straight f#cking! Nobody values the act of 2 people being intimate!

6’1 What your baby daddy fails to realize is..that you make good money, true. But you did not make the boy by yourself..so besides already taking all the rearing responsibities…he expects you to take the financial ones too! Yet another dude who should have been forced into a vasectomy! LOL

Dan are you dating now? if yes, what does she got to say about all of this? is she ok with you getting calls from ex’s? or do you hide the call. for example, Angie will be listed under the name plumber in your phonebook.

I’m not just calling them. They call me too, married or not. It’s the concern you show for someone you’ve cared about.

Well, Dan, just to let you know that I’m not totally heartless after a break up, I will be sending one of my exes a card in a few weeks. It’s the one year anniversary of his dad’s death and I’ll let him know that I feel for his loss. Still doesn’t mean I need to talk to him tho. LOL

I refuse to give the EX sex! I’d do a stranger first!

Staceye - I’m with you on that. You gotta keep that mentality to avoid falling into the rabbit hole again (or onto the diznick). LOL

Ared Would you have a problem if most of your man’s “homegirls” are girls he dated and had relations with I am actually very cool with a guy I dated we actually were friends before we dated and realized we argued like cats and dogs while dating so we went back to being friends. We have nothing romantic going on. We talk from time to time and I help him out on business ventures because I have knowledge of computer programs and accounting. But his girlfriend asked him hade we dated and said no. I asked why he didn’t tell her..her said that she would trip if we remained friends! So I don’t know how to really say yes or know to your question. As a friend I say it’s nothign worng with it..but if I were the girl I am not sure how I’d feel. I am not insecure…but trust is something I am familiar with!

Some fathers aren’t worth the skin they are in…so the child is better off with the mom and if she has male relatives she can get them to intervene.

Which is why it worked out better for a lot of single parent households. …all i’m sayin’…

Cemeeli no doubt mami! Some people think just having a man around that is a kid’s father is key..no he actually has to be worthy of immulation for that boy. If a sorry father figure raises a biy and lead by example…what do you think his son will become. Now there are some instance where the boy has strong mind of his own and uses his sorry pops as a “What I don’t want to be when I grow up” manual. They then do everything the total opposite of their father! Which in case, the sorry pops actually helped. But how often do you see that?

Doc Demi: Young lady, is that child #4?

Ms.knockupstaya: Yes.

Doc Demi: And do you know the father of La..Lamaqita? F/K type of name is this?

Ms.Knockupstaya: Yes…ummm, no…Not really. I just met him.

Doc Demi: Oooooookay. Now dropping pant Sound like I am going to have to beat them ovaries out…Sorry, No Child Left Behind Act. said while using the good buddy smile This won’t hurt a bit!

I know why they still call you Dan. He’s merely a friend W/O benefits. Is wisdom and outlook on things still intrigue them and they prefer to talk w/someone w/some sense. Am I even close Dan?

My exs still call just to say hello. Some call in attempt to hit it, and those are knocked down immediately. Yet, there are some friends who call just to say hello. I have one guy who calls and tells me about his women exploits and we laugh together. Sometimes I even tell him what he’s doing wrong.

See Staceye, that’s why we gotta keep on leaving those exes alone. He straight lied on her arse.

The one friend I have that’s an ex pulled that same type of foolishness too. However, he and his girl had a strange relationship. She let him do his thing while they were dating/engaged so that when they married it was all out of his system. Goodness.

to straight f* Nobody values the act of 2 people being intimate! no staceye sme of these relationships are defined from the very begining…either as friend/jumpoff or long term girl/wify potential. We all define and redefine them as we go on.If u break up and u still tolerating guy, he will sure cme back for pudsy nothing more but at the same time be free to look for the one he really wants as long term potential.So u know, man dont pluck pudsy from ur pivit unless u willing to let him sample.U girls have all the power!!

Staceye I would never subscribe to the “any ol pops is better than no pops” philosophy. I had a strong uncle and a real deal grandfather to step up for me initially, and later my step pops (who I call pops) put in work on my path to manhood. Just saying that a strong male father-figure is priceless.

Well, Staceye, if y’all gotta do all that, is it really worth it? I mean, she has a right to full disclosure. She ASKED. If she couldn’t handle it he needs a girl that’s more secure or she needs to not ask such questions. But I don’t think she deserves to be lied to. Especially about something like that.
