There is nothing wrong with the use of the word 'touting'

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/touting?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic
–verb (used with object)
3.
to solicit support for importunately.
4.
to describe or advertise boastfully; publicize or promote; praise extravagantly: a highly touted nightclub.

Strive to be sure of what a word means before you take someone up on it.



Sadly, even the OP doesn't seem to realize that 'touting' doesn't have to be a derogatory meaning, given his abject apology.

N101:
When you "settle down" it means you have established an exclusive relationship, committing yourself to that one person, after being unmarried. This also means all your energies should be dedicated to making that relationship mutually beneficial to both of you. It is no more "me" mine" and "I" but "we" us" and "ours".  Marriage has its highs and lows, but you learn a lot about yourself and the other person along the way.

Unfortunately it seems a lot of people get married for the wrong reasons and choose to do dishonourable things whilst married.  When people focus on themselves and not the other person, they choose to live as though they are unsettled thus the extramarital boyfriends and girlfriends.

@ deluxe I can relate to what you are saying because as a woman I am guilty of some of the things you mentioned such as wearing a long face all day after an argument and mood swings (i.e being pleasant/enthusiastic one day and being totally unethusiastic and real quiet on another day).

Men and women are wired differently and this may account for the difference in our conduct at the work place, another factor that may be responsible could be the lack of basic induction and training for new staff in organizations. Recently I decided to research/read on-line materials on professionalism and what professional conduct truly means.

I was shocked at the number of things that constitute professional conduct at the work place, which I have been ignorant of even though I've worked for 4 years now since NYSC. Granted as employees we often learn most things on the job but this issue of professional conduct/professionalism at the work place is one that should be taught to every employee in the first week of their employment. both experienced and inexperienced recruits should be trained on this as it will go a long way in saving the organization from the sort of issues you stated and preventing employees from commiting too many blunders.

I've oftened heard the phrase "he/she was unprofessional" "be professional" etc etc but until now I never really understood the meaning of the concept or what it entails. Thanks to internet sha, now i know better and will strive to be professional at work. if any of my employers had bothered to train me on this i would be better off today. You know just as parenst train their children, teachers instruct their students and so on, employers do have a certain responsibilty to their employees in this regard.
