OP, curious to know how she got your phone number? She'll get over it. A 20 year old's attention span probably isn't that long. ![]() |
She doesn't have to endorse him. She did that the first go-round. People know how she stands and I'm sure her mind hasn't changed. |
I won't call the OP racist, I'll just say he's, territorial. Although he is getting abused all over the place I don't think his reactionis uncommon. I've known Asian men who, when they see an Asian woman with a Non-Asian, become livid, same for Hispanic men. People tend to want to keep what they perceive as their own to themselves. Some African American men, when they see an A.A. woman with a White man, especially, will practically lose their minds. But the bottom line is adults are free to date whomever they choose. There's nothing the OP or anyone else can do about it. OP, worry about things you can actually change. |
Most of the responses sound like they're coming from men. I'd really be interested to hear from women who are in polygamous marriages, assuming they are allowed by their husbands to use the internet. How do women who were raised in a polygamous household feel about it. How sheltered are these women kept? Are they educated women following tradition? No matter how polygamy is justified by its participants I'm inclined to think there is animosity and hurt feelings among the women. Lastly, does polygamy deter cheating by the husband? Do these men still seek comfort from women outside of their marriages. |
So I was hoping we could put off having kids for about 2 years while I run the degree, but he'll have none of that.Really? You're not even married to the man and he's controlling your life? ****thinking, run like HE11****Imagine what being married to this conrol freak will be like! Continue your studies! He doesn't understand the more fulfillment you have in your life the happier you will be as a wife and mother. |
In my experience people are distrustful for 2 reasons, 1) They've been given cause to be by their mate 2) They're still holding on to a bad experience from a previsous relationship Trust takes time. Just give the relationship time to grow. |
Are you certain he likes women? Trying to kiss one of your friends may have been a smoke screen for your benefit. |
What is so important about your birthdayMy thoughts exactly. I've known people who've forgotten their OWN birthdays. |
I've seen MEN who were better looking than this woman. To each his or her own. |
I don't see it as any different from people liking different types of foods, automobiles or house styles. Not everyone is going to like the same things or the same types of men and women. It's called personal preferences. |
He states he can even help me as his family is rich he can help me get my foot in theThe man is a liar. There are many around. My concern came when he spoke of him wanting to help you get your "foot in the door." Getting your foot in the door will cost you money. Since he has proven himself to be deceitful, be very careful in trusting him with any of your finances. |
I see Tu as a victimReally? I see him as irresponsible. |
Also true. But saying that a woman should take all precaution implies that a man can slack up every now and then. Both people should take all precautions. (Or even better, save intimacy for marriage.)True as well. And we both agreed both parties are responsible. However, we see a lot more single Moms than single Dads, or I do. And when there is a possibility or probability all or most of the responsibility will fall on your shoulders, wouldn't you want to make sure things are done as they should be? Sometimes men don't think any farther than their erec.tions. Does a woman really need to leave such a life altering decision to someone else? Especially someone whose brain is in his under pants at that moment. |
Shouldn't be difficult if you know he's not right for you. Have to let him down easy so he won't go psycho. |
Both parties if they are both willing participantsVery true. But it's usually the woman (and her family) who is left with the responsibility of child rearing. That's why women should take all precaution because, more often than not, it's the woman and the child who will bear the brunt of this bad decision making. |
Though some people are professional 'beggars' and probably make more in one day from their begging than a lot of people make who have legit jobs, still I normally give to the homeless when asked. Gave this one guy $1 and he told me he needed $5!! I offered to take my $1 back, he turned and walked away, with my $1. ![]() Some of them can be a bit much at times. |
That person is an ex for a reason and re-visiting ex situation dont work most of the time.Very good advice. He or she would make it known if they were interested in ressurecting your relationship. They'd ask for your phone number, ask if you are seeing anyone, something along those lines. If the person says, "Take care of yourself" and walks away, they've moved on with their lives and you should also. |
Have you met his parents? Any of his family? That will tell you how serious he is about your relationship. |
and light in completionHe certainly wouldn't want to have dark babies. People might think they're, African. |
^ Good point. |
and how much fun you can have with a lot of tall beautiful blonde girls & party lifeThey see you as a novelty. Like an exotic pet. |
If you can provide a service people can pay for, you won't regret living in Europe or North America. Having a job-a-job mentality for too long does not make you financially independent . Work for some time ( 1-6 years ) and set up a business. You won't regret it.Excellent advice! |
Rossikk literally smacked bk.babe around and asked who is his daddy?Careful, someone in the U.S. may read this and stop sending handouts to your and Rossikk's countries to feed you with! |
it's pretty shocking that we hear so little about him these daysAnd you expect the U.S. to announce their strategy on CNN? Perhaps bin Laden is already dead. The world can only hope, anyway. ![]() |
Hate the dress! Love the hair, no matter whose head it originated. |
Thank God the justice system dealt with this oneIndeed! |
Good luck and God bless. |

Although he is getting abused all over the place I don't think his reaction
How do women who were raised in a polygamous household feel about it.
