You all are making me reflect back today.

Andre and I talked every day for hours a day when we were seperated. I can only remember a few arguments. Otherwise, we used the time to get to know each other better and better. We talked about some crazy stuff all the time. Today, it's much the same. I still talk to him a few times a day via the phone, especially if our schedules conflict. And, we'll sit for hours and talk about crazy stuff, liking the double rocker on our back porch best of all. It's one of my favorite things about us.

Dang,

Have to go to HR since the girl I was working with filed a grievance against me last week. I cannot work with her becuase of her body order and HR knows about this. It's very OFFENSIVE. I'm not the only one that has complained to her manager. So, she goes and tells them that I cuss her out in my language in front of a room of people. But I think the real reason is does not like me becuase I'm Jamaican and her EX (is also JAMAICAN)...so here we go. I think I'll sit on my HANDS for this meeting. I'll bring a jar of VASELINE just in case

Yes, a di same one. She was totally out of line. Well, the meeting lasted all of 7 minutes. She didn't know that I had people backing me. Now, she's totally EMBRASSED about her odor. She was told to apologize to me, but she got up and walked out. I told the HR manager that she makes comments about Jamaicans all the time (and I don't go running to HR) to file a grievance. So, now they moved her out of my work group. THANK THE LORD! Now, I can BREATHE a sign of RELIEF.

Lawny thank God you got that stinking woman outta your group!

Trust me. I tried to be a professional about this as possible. But when she said, DON'T YOUR SON HAVE A FATHER...I lost it. But I didn't cuss at her, I just let her know that's none of her business, I said it in Patwah, because I was so upset. She goes and tells HR I cussed her using Jamaican badwords and the people at the meeting told the HR manager they understood everything I said and heard no badwords. And trust me, the people I work with know the JAMAICAN badwords better than I do.

OK, my question for the day is suppose you had a friend who was in a relationship and for whatever reason, you thought the man was using her.
You have no hard evidence, but you just have STRONG misgivings.
DO you tell her?
Or since you have no hard facts, do you just leave it alone???

If a friend told you that she thought your SO was using you, but had no evidence, how would you react?
Would you prefer she said nothing without hard facts to back it up?


Hmmm that is a tough one for me. I think a lot of it depends on the friend. If it is someone I am really close with and know that she would appreciate hearing my concerns I would tell her...but only once and wouldn't make a big deal out of it...just sort of a "hey I thought you should be aware" type of talk. If I wasn't too close to the person or knew they couldn't handle it I wouldn't tell them anything unless I had hard evidence. If I had hard evidence I would tell...but again only once and what they choose to do with the evidence is their choice and I would respect their choice as they are grown people.

I would want my close friends to tell me their suspicions or present any evidence they had...but only close friends who I am really connected with. I wouldn't want someone who I am not really good friends with coming and telling me something unless they had really hard evidence.

I'm kinda different in that I would WANT to hear.
I would never let what someone said break up a relationship, but I would like the chance to hear what they think is going down, if even to be able to laugh at the notion.
I would be PISSED if someone I knew said to me AFTER the fact they thought this and that....

I see what you mean. I would want to hear it but only from people that are a part of my life. I wouldn't want my co-worker who has seen my spouse all of 2 times tell me what they think about my relationship but I would want my friend or family member that has actually been around us and is actively involved in my life to tell me their suspicions. It all comes down to the source of the info for me.

OK, my question for the day is suppose you had a friend who was in a relationship and for whatever reason, you thought the man was using her.
You have no hard evidence, but you just have STRONG misgivings.
DO you tell her?
Or since you have no hard facts, do you just leave it alone???

If a friend told you that she thought your SO was using you, but had no evidence, how would you react?
Would you prefer she said nothing without hard facts to back it up?


Hmmm that is a tough one for me. I think a lot of it depends on the friend. If it is someone I am really close with and know that she would appreciate hearing my concerns I would tell her...but only once and wouldn't make a big deal out of it...just sort of a "hey I thought you should be aware" type of talk. If I wasn't too close to the person or knew they couldn't handle it I wouldn't tell them anything unless I had hard evidence. If I had hard evidence I would tell...but again only once and what they choose to do with the evidence is their choice and I would respect their choice as they are grown people.

I would want my close friends to tell me their suspicions or present any evidence they had...but only close friends who I am really connected with. I wouldn't want someone who I am not really good friends with coming and telling me something unless they had really hard evidence.

I'm kinda different in that I would WANT to hear.
I would never let what someone said break up a relationship, but I would like the chance to hear what they think is going down, if even to be able to laugh at the notion.
I would be PISSED if someone I knew said to me AFTER the fact they thought this and that....


right, at that point shut up!!

I see what you mean. I would want to hear it but only from people that are a part of my life. I wouldn't want my co-worker who has seen my spouse all of 2 times tell me what they think about my relationship but I would want my friend or family member that has actually been around us and is actively involved in my life to tell me their suspicions. It all comes down to the source of the info for me.


right, because what do they know.

Exactly. I had someone tell me something my BF said and did 6 months before we broke up. He said, oh, I knew you guys were going to break up cause he did this and said that way back in July. I was like WTF didn't you tell me?

When I was with my daughter's sperm donor (wink) I lost so many friendships. That was my fault. I let him isolate me. But they were my real friends and I got them all back. They just couldnt stand there and watch me life go down the tubes....

I think I have an agreement with all my close girlfriends... if our man is messing around and we know it - we tell. And always give our honest opnion about boyfriends, husbands whatever.... I have known my 3 best friend since kindergarten!

i did that in a previous relationship, but it got me closer to his family and now he hates it, because we are no longer together and his family still loves me. they invite me everywhere, my son calls his mother grandma and his sister is my daughther's godmother.

I didn't lose any friends but some of my friendships changed. These people supported me while during my long distance relationship with Damien. But when he came the calls stopped or they never ask about him. I think that's strange.

Others didn't expect Damien to do so well or we would last. They never said it but I can tell...

I would tel her, but it's all about the timing. don't tell her when they are all lovey dovey, wait until she complaining about something he did and then say something like. yeah i notice he always does such and such and keept it moving. she may not agree with you are say anything at all, but she will start thinking about it.



That is a good idea... make her think it is her that saw the light!





Even better, take your friend with you, he's bound to show up with the other woman, if you seen him at a certian place at different times. sometimes they just have to see it for them selves.. You can talk till your blue in the face but usually it comes off as being judgemental and many times the other person dosen't want to hear it and the friendship is lost. I don't want to come off a bad mouthing the realtionship, some lessions are just meant to be learn in the first person, when a person has had enough it will usually work it selfout. I just set back and be a listening ear.

Lita u know me and husband used to fight when were separated not that we don't now..but what i did by the advice of a friends mother..she seh wah is the sense oonuh a go talk everyday and cuss waste of money...So u know what i did stopped calling everyday all thru the day..and u know it helped..maybe u need to back off a little..maybe just send the emails and texts and so but limit the phone talk it brings frustration of missing each other so near but yet so far kinda thing...hope it works out

so i had a salad with turkey today plus some baby carrot with ranch dressing and all i've been wanting is water...everytime i see water i wanna be in it.. laughing.gif yes.gif

I agree with Kimmie on this one. I had the same problem with Mike only the other way around. I was the one complaining. We would talk everyday, sometimes twice a day and after the second visit in October, I started to miss him so much more and would tell him how I felt but he would not reciprocate. He would be silent and I always asked if I am talking to the phone and wasting money. He always says "telling you I miss you and all that is not gonna change the fact that we can't be together right now. I know how you feel and you know how I feel. Talking about it is not the solution right now, because when we get off the phone, it's not gonna change." The more I heard that the angrier I became and then I decided to back off and not call him as much and would purposefully miss his calls. Now ehen we talk it is so fullfilling and we have so much more to talk about. We now talk maybe 2-3 times a week and I am better able to handle the separation.

Lita, I also think you should try backing off a little. Some men are die-hard romantics and like to hear sweet nuiances in their ears. I think also Evan is missing his baby and needs to hears those things to re-affirm your love for him. luv.gif luv.gif

Just my $0.20.

Now ge me back me change laughing.gif laughing.gif laughing.gif


Ain't this the truth. And i always seem to find these guys. This is EXACTLY what he wants. He basically said that he would like me to do little romantic things for him more, like sing a song, write a poem, cute texts, tell him he look nice....and i'm like blink.gif , that is just not me. I'm not dead inside or anything and I show affection just obviously not how he wants so then he feels like I don't care and i feel like he doesn't appreciate what I do. But I told him that maybe we should stop talking so much since talking at minimum once a day was not enough for him. I do think that will be best. i also don't think he understands just how expensive calling and texting him is. I spent $50 just yesterday to argue helpsmilie.gif , like Kimmy say dat nuh mek nah sense.

Lost mostly of my very close male friends that were like brothers to me (while he kept his female friends). He NEVER trusted me and always accussed me of doing things. He had a guilty, because he was out there doing his own thing. It just took me a long time to find out about it. I didn't figure it out until he started telling me he don't trust me and accusing me (if I work late) of going to see another man or (GET THIS)...if I come in the house and go take a shower, it's because I was just with a man! I would get so pissed and tell him, if I had just finished having SEX I would have taken a shower at my OTHER man's house mad.gif
