Love & Litigation
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In a perfect world, single people would be open and honest. I’m talking about total dating utopia: no game playing, no misleading anyone, no casualties of dating war. But alas, we are mere mortals, flawed humans who are all about self-preservation, self-protection, and sometimes self-serving.
I was reading an article about a book written by David E. Talbert, called Love on the Dotted Line. In the book, a contracts lawyer decided that she would make her next man sign a relationship contract. Of course, this was a direct result of her last relationship’s demise. Somehow she managed to convinced a man to agree to the relationship contract, most likely in a drunken state or post-romp haze. When he breaks one of the rules of their agreement, she hauls him into court.
Can you imagine? What would happen if dating became regulated? Just thinking about the romantic crimes that I have committed (in my 20s alone)…um, let’s just say, Diva would have been sporting an orange jumpsuit!
If you could write up a dating/relationship contract, what sorts of things would you be most interested in protecting? What kinds of consequences or legal repercussions would you want to impose for your dating rules violations?
If you could haul someone into dating court right now, who would you subpoena, and why? Do you think winning your “case” could help you move on and let it go?

While reading yesterday’s blog in the bath last night, this is my conclusion
We simply convey facts that apply to every woman on the planet while you ladies pass along your feelings that only apply to the guys you’ve dated.
Now Truth, we all know this is incorrect. You telling the blog ladies that you and the rest of the men on this blog has met every single woman on this here earth. Yes, the one we’re living on now!!! LOL. Ok, whatever you say.
I’ve learned a valuable lesson today. If you want to eliminate alot of bs marry a chick without kids, or better yet stay single.
I’m going to be the first one to say HA in yo face when you fall mad in love with new booty with baggage. Naw ladies, the line forms behind me. LOL.
Oh yea, good morning to you witcho phine azz. LOL.

If you could write up a dating/relationship contract, what sorts of things would you be most interested in protecting? morning all!! I would buy a lock and key and lock access to her puddsy and then have her sign the contract.If the lock is broken or there is evidence of tampering, our deal ends. Have a good day!

Good Morning All,
I may lurk on this one. I am not feeling this one at all. This woman is so dishearten over her last relationship that she is going to make the next guy sign a contract. Why? What does guy #2 have to do with guy #1. They are two different people. From what we here the guys here say everyday..they are paying for the sins of some other dude. Not only that what if the guy refuses to sign it(which he should) then does that make him a “unworthy” catch? Looks like someone needs to do some serious self assessment before diving in the dating pool again. I will read and see how this plays out.

Good morning all. Don’t have much to say initially on this one. I don’t think I’ve been sufficently wounded enough to even think along these lines. No contract needed, when you enter the dating arena, there are assumed risks involved! Dating court? I have closure in all of my past relationships so I don’t need anymore answers or need to rehash old ish.
As for regulated dating, I do wonder if there is a market out there for arranged marriages here in America. They seem to have a high success rate in other countries. I wonder if it could work on a larger scale here.

Ared “LOL @ Truth and abc. Y’all could be doing the women a favor by staying single too. So thanks! ;-)” Women all over america are rejoicing now. LMAO
Lurker it’s funny that you left off the lol. You know I was joking. Btw, why no invite to the leisurely bath yesterday? Also, I don’t fall in love like that. I know how to walk away from a chick if it doesn’t feel right. Is that new booty nice and round? Dammmmm LOL
On topic: There’s a beautiful word thats called free will. I’m not trying to regulate a chick. You do what you do and I’ll do what I do. Free will. That chick is a loser.
Off topic: Did anyone read that article on “grey divorce?” Seems folks are divorcing later in life too. Reasons: stresses of raising kids, no more love, no connection after the kids are gone. Didn’t we just talk about this yesterday?
Good morning WLB. Smooches to all of y’all.
Today I’m starting the mens “Single and Free” movement. Ok who’s with me? (The Truth now standing on a podium with nobdy in sight. LOL)

Very humorous. I suppose charges could be filed, civil penalties awarded, perjorative deluxo. Why not just put the poor sucker on parole to begin with, and soon as he steps out of the box you put him in, throw his azz in jail? That’s where the lowlife, no good, triflin’ so ‘n so belongs anyway. Men these days are just no dayum good.
Then again, yall make it sound like it’s already that way, minus the notarized paperwork. Bring on the notary!

*Amazon it could not work here for the simple fact that those women in other countries are taught from birth to be submissive. We are taught to be strong, independant, and that we have many options. Arranged marriages at this point in America would just increase the divorce rate.

Tomorrow - I think it could work for those who would go into it willingly. To even consider an arranged marriage you’d have to have a different mindset from the get go.
If I could have all the physical attributes I wanted in a guy delivered to me AND know he was marriage minded and committed, maybe I’d consider it. LOL
But anyway, you’re probably right.

Truth I was just talking about that article. I know a couple divorcing after 30plus years of marriage. Just like the article said they grew apart. In a way I think about some of the people I know who got married because they felt it was just the next step in life will wind up in “gray divorces” I think I would be perfectly happy shacking up.

Das they were’nt convicted of bank robbery but theft by taking. It’s the equivalent charge for a young white girl. If that was sista it would be robbery with the intent of murder and some other add on charges.
All this bs is what happens when a race fails to fight for itself. Equality cannot be legislated. At some point we need to pick up arms and make this country unlivable for everyone, instead of just those in our community. I say we need a civil war.

Dating Contract:
I, (insert name), being of sound mind, after avowing to be exclusive to you, promise to be true to you and only you. I promise never to lie to get my way or save my behind. I promise to not tell you what I think you want to hear. I promise not to shoplift the puddy when you are overcome with distress. I promise to not gawk at other women over your shoulder while in conversation with you. I promise to call when I say I will. I promise to be on time. I promise to listen with sincere interest and not pretend to care. I promise to remember your birthday, valentine’s day, and the anniversary of our union and endow you accordingly. I promise to not fake amnesia when publicly approached by a woman that I obviously flirted with the last time I was at the sports bar. I promise to not get the telephone numbers of other women knowing that I just might be tempted to call them. I promise to not lead you on when I am not feeling the relationship anymore.
I promise, I promise, I promise.
Should I be in breach of this contract I am fully aware that my punishment will be to engage in a ménage a trois with Sandra Bernhard and Rosie O’Donnell while Pee Wee Herman operates the video camera.

I was being facetious, of course. The reality is that women are quite a bit more unreliable than men, I have more faith and trust in my dog. Bunch of flaky chicks… yall wonder why men seem to never commit to you, but fail to discover the reason is in your mirror.
But then, a man would never entertain anything such as an agreement, legal or not, written or verbal, that would restrict a woman’s activities. All desirable activity is voluntary — not accommodation, not through fear of retribution, not out of obligation, nor to simply keep the peace — just simply voluntary, because one wants to. If you don’t want to, don’t. I’d guarantee he’d prefer you didn’t unless you really wanted to. Likewise, if a man doesn’t do what you want, it’s because he doesn’t want to. Pretty plain and simple.

When do you think it’s wise to continue a relationship with someone who cheats? Does it depend on the circumstances? Does it depend on who they cheat with or how it happened?
Do you have a “kick-‘em-to-the-curb” policy in these situations, or is infidelity up for discussion after it occurs?
Is the old adage “once a cheater, always a cheater” accurate? Or have you ever dated someone who is a “reformed cheater” after one mistake?

Ared those bad azz kids are like a permanent wedgy. To be single and without the responsibilty. LOL
I’ve been thinking that if at some point I want to have kids I’ll pay a chick to have it and take care of it. How much would be a fair sum?
Blow so they approved your early release? I’ve been thinking about you calling me barbaric last week. Ol girl said she’s afraid her dog is going to bite her children and has already bit her, and she’s got a 20 pound dog. I have almost 250 pounds of dog and my dogs have never bit anyone I didn’t tell them to. And i’m barbaric.

I think i’m in a slightly pizzy mood today too. My biological sent me an email needing my moms phn#. So I tell moms, see if she’s okay with giving him the number, of course he didn’t state what his call was for. I’m thinking maybe it’s something regarding life insurance…he calls her last night and wanted absolutely nothing. Seems as if my sister had sent him some pics of my granny’s 70th bday last weekend and he must’ve seen a pic of moms…Mind you he is married. So he emails me this morning trying to funny i guess saying she told him he could ‘hit it’ anytime he wants. I asked him what his agenda/reasoning was for this new need for communication was. He responds, who are you & why are you emailing me????? asking me questions…is this “spam”?? Okay, then my sister told me to ask him if he had the pictures she sent of her up or were they still in the envelope she sent them in…he again responds, “Sister???? who’s Sister, and how did you otain this address”….
All my pent up feelings about him came back for some reason. He needs to get somewhere and sit down!! WOOSAH!

Truth - Why even have a kid if you want to pay someone else to have it and take care of it. LOL. You’re a deadbeat before the egg is even fertilized. LOL
If anyone is gonna be salty before brunch is because someone set them off. Doesn’t happen that way if you live alone unless you’re the Grinch. LOL

Naw SexyLeggs she need a mother in her life to help with parenting skill. Her mom is dead, and her aunts’n’them ain’t worth speaking too. I ask her why was Li’Demi looking so far away and didn’t tell me why.
You don’t text a father at 1030pm and not expect my mind not jumping straight to worst case.
Cemeeli it was ALL a big misunderstanding…She straight character assassinated her husband. I am a pretty good judger of a person’s character, even while I was hot, I was like…I am about to take out a good dude, oh well F/K it…let’s do this.

Alvin, how old was she when her mom passed. Some people are meant to be parents while others are not. For some parenting is a learned behavior and folk like myself, it’s an innate part of my being.
ARed, modern technology is going to have my fist in my child’s mouth, i.e., internet and texting. The fact that I’m hands on is having her trying to do some sneaky, cleaver ways of disguising what she’s doing. I’ve been trying to edumacate this child to let her know she cannot outsmart me. Oh well, the lesson will be learned either the easy way (by paying attention to what I just said) or the hard way = BAM! Down she goes!!!

Progress, my movements are starting to build momentum. I got BriteEyes and am scouring the horizon for more converts.
ABC a friend of a friend handed a chick a dbl digit carat ring and had the big ceremony and everything. They didn’t make it to the end of the month. He found out all kind of stuff about the chick. Marriage isn’t dead but it’s on life support.

Ared I told him I didn’t think it was funny. He said he didn’t mean any harm by it. But I feel like at this age if i ask a question, he should give me a straight up answer right? He wanna call my moms but don’t call my sister or myself. I’m still waiting on that “talk” he said we need to have to clear up some of the misconceptions on his past behavior from way back when…he had read an essay I wrote a while back about him…I couldn’t even believe I wrote that and turned it in. But i guess it was painful for him to have read my POV….anyway…I’m breathing again.
Jewel nope, the emails were from his work address. My sister said she might’ve been the one to put our phot album of us behind the couch tho. LOL! wait…that isn’t funny.
Simp You call it spring fever huh? I call it reminincing on what you had. Not to brag but moms is what my guy friends deem a MILF. lol!

I don’t understand how parents can act that way without the guilt of their shady behavior eating them up inside.

Okay SexyLeggs I’m reading your post and was about to look up ‘edumacate’…had to read that word twice! LOL! She is doing what a 13 yr old in puberty does…challenge your authority while testing her own. Do not take it personally. When my now 22 yr old daughter went through that phase, I told her that at least one of us will survive…and it WILL be me! LOL! Granted, raising a child now is more daunting than it was just 10 years ago. I commend parents today who manage to raise well-adjusted children.

I don’t care how old I get my father will always be my father. There is a certain amount of respect that is to be maintained. No matter how he may have treated me or my mother, (I have a great father), I owe him respect.
Ain’t no way I will be talking to my dad like he is my equal. If he and my mother (May she R.I.P.) had a bad relationship and he called for her number, I would politely tell him that I will let her know that he wants to get in touch with her. If she wants to talk to him then she will tell me it is okay to give it. What they would talk about is none of my concern. That would be between them.

There is a way to respectfully tell your parents that you don’t like something or you don’t agree with something they are doing or have done.
I tell my father when I feel he is about to do something that I think is a bad way to go. Sometimes he tells me to stay out of his business and sometimes he listens. I will stand firm on what I tell him but I will never disrespect him in any way. No matter what.

Jewel, you are funny about to look up that word. Thanks for the laugh. I know she’s being a typical teenager, but I still want to pop her! She got her progress report yesterday. I forgot to say something to her about before heading downstairs. While at the foot of the stairs I called her. Her response made the hairs on my neck stand up. It was a simple “yes”, but it sound like “What are you bothering me for now.” UGGH! Still an “A” student!

SexyLeggs My daughter is 14 and also at one time thought she could get one over on the master! I have told her time and time again that there’s nothing new under the sun, everything she can ever think of I’ve already thought of or done.
It’s so funny when I catch her trying to get away with something and I call her on it, she looks at me like she thinks I’m some kind of witch or psychic! LOL I’ve even overheard her talking to her little friends. From her side of the conversation it will sound like they are trying to tell her ways they use to get away with things. She always responds, “that might work with your mom but it won’t with mine!”

Truth I see you are listening to me. 3 doggie snacks for you…lol..Yes you are barbaric…for a number of reasons. You stink! and you grovel like a bear on here and you are a grouchy ole meanie. You also have an animalistic way of thinking. Stop being so cold when there is the creamy soft sweet filling inside of you. You are just scared of being taken advantage of and not being respected. So you come off so harsh to protect who you really are. Truth your cover is blown buddy. Come out from under the sheets.
Also why do you have such a barbaric training for Poodle’s and maltese’s? lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
But I must agree with you…Ppl dont want to hold up to morals. Ppl would rather do what they want to do..without reprucussions. PPl want to stray away from what has been PROVEN to work. When rules/restrictions are meant to help you and strengthen you in some cases. Everyone wants to come up with their own creative way when it’s tearing our moral fabric right at the seams
