And why not? Why can't you have someone like that in your circle?

Talk is really cheap on these streets sha grin, some comments had my eyes popping out of their sockets.

Hathor how did your thread become a religious debate? I have been seeing Bible verses all over the place, I didn't even bother to read. How we bring religion into every discussion is beyond me....I need that emoji of face palm smacking the head.

I don't know. undecided
I was hoping it would stop pages ago but I didn't want to spoil the fun for Koboj. smiley

I don't like humans that are too weak emotionally especially males. When you are weak emotionally, you tend to make some irrational judgement. People like that see it as being selfless, but I see it as being foolish. I can't trust people like that because they would be the weak link in my circle.

Moreover, I don't really know how to forgive.


You call this weak?

I believe it takes a lot of strength.

But I would feel foolish too. undecided

Its the opposite! It is actually a strong individual that would forgive such things. undecided

I didn't start it. I simply can't stand when folks try to use the Bible God in justifying foolishness! undecided

Absolutely. I pick my friends, they don't pick me.

Ok. Just that the danger with such an arrangement is that you are probably the only one in that setting that feels you are surrounded by "friends".

What you most likely have in reality are groupies.

But, if it works for you, I guess I can only wish you goodluck with that.

It's not strenght but weakness. Emotionally weak individuals do things without even thinking about themselves.

Is showing up the best we can and bringing out the best in our partners not a part of unconditional love? smiley I believe it is a part of it, and one does not necessarily preclude the other.

Love is important. Yes, the feelings, tingly kind I believe. One that makes your heart race and feel good just thinking about them, I believe. No, that is not all there is to it.

But unconditional love has imbued in it the works, the efforts, the commitment and the blindness as well.

To the usefulness of such advice, I feel it paints a dreary picture of marriage that I don't want to look forward to. Sounds drudgery. Like I must do things for my partner, just because. Not cheerily. Are there likely going to be times I feel that way? Possibly. But haba, for the most of the time and my marriage life?

I don't want that kind of organic, fulfilling-a-duty or filling-in-a-space love, tenkio.

You made plenty sense... Unfortunately you got a few likes because most people are married out of a sense of, "am getting old" society, my mates are married etc, so their co habiting with one they don't actually love..

You're partner should make your heart beat, out of love, yes the butterfiles won't always fly in the belly.. Because even an individual hates himself at times, what more another.. But marriage should be coming to getter of 2 people who cant get enough of themselves in love.., but when party a isnt feeling to great, party b should know how to keep the music flowing through patience, commitment, support, encouragement, sacrifice etc

I can never ever ever ever ever imagine this. I'd rather die single and lonely than get less than what I desire.

In reality this is what 70 percent or more couples are made of... Especially women.. Society is more lenient on men, so thed go out searching..
