Nope...........can't say I have...............

You make a valid point however, the question was "Are MEN polygamous by nature?" It said nothing of people in general but, a direct reference to one gender. Thus, implying men are unable to be faithful. Granted this was done in a comical matter & should not have been taken at face value.

I believe that both men & women are capable of being faithful. I also believe that there are some women & men that incapable of any long term relationships.

I do agree that people can grow apart but, we fail to realize that we grow apart by the choices we make. Far to often we simply accept that the relationship is over without ever trying to work at it. All relationships require work. It is simply a matter of how much we are willing to dedicate. At the same time, the kindest thing we can do in a relationship sometimes is to end it.

I suggest that we ask ourselves what we want out of a relationship truly. Society should not tells us what we need. Marriage, kids, or forever after may not be for some. There is nothing wrong with that so, long as we are honest with ourselves & others. When we are honest with ourselves, we can then choose relationships that are right for us and the other person.

Sorry for being so long winded. I did truly appreciate your feedback. Thank goodness that we all do not think alike otherwise it would be very very dull!

Your parents and you may not see eye to eye on this. I am sure that their intentions were good. They may be giving you the silent treatment but, it doesn't mean that you can't open the door for them. Let them know that it is okay for them to have a different opinion but, it is your life & it is up to you to make decisions for yourself.

In regards to the guy, it depends on the stage of the relationship. Go with what your heart tells you to do.

That is just a cop out to avoid taking personal accountability of our actions. A person eitehr chooses to cheat or not.

On the hand, if you believe that you are not the type to settle down, then there is nothing wrong with that as long as you honest with the other person & he/she does not have any false hope. It becomes just a matter of what level of commitment you are able to give.

No, one should judge the individual based upon his or her actions; do not judge the entire group based upon one person's action. There are just as many women as men that cheat and vice versa. There are just as many men as women that remain honest and committed in a relationship who never cheat.

I think that we all know that love isn't easy. I think the reason it fails so often is that people are in love with FALLING in love.

We all know those warm fuzzy feelings at a beginning of relationship. Those feelings can become addictive for some.

......................

I am fortunate. I like my own company, but I too have felt that loniness creep into my life at one time.

My advice to all of those that are feeling lonely this holiday season, embrace it. It is part of you. Indulge in sappy movies, music, a little bit of ice cream or frozen yogart. Have a good cry, then begin a new the next day.

The next day follow these steps:
1. Take a deep breath.
2. Smile.
3. Today is a new day.

Good Luck & Take Care.

???????? I don't disagree with you necessarily. To judge a person, it is best to understand their actions. With that being said, a person's words still have power and still have meaning. Thus it is still important to listen to their words but, also listen to what they are not verbally saying.

I think the user that began this thread has some unresolved issues. For instance, he isn't actually sincerly seeking advice but, is using this thread as an excuse to treat women badly or at the very least without thought or consideration because he is pissed at his ex.

It is okay to be mad or angry. All is fair in love and war but, the person that he is doing the most arm to is himself. What he needs is ...........Be mad, Be angry, But be honest w/ himself.

Bad Idea, but it is understandable that you want some angry sex but, that would only cheapen her and you. Truthfully, even the lowest of scum deserves better treatment than that. Best thing to do is put on the plastic glove & get out the vaseline and use your imagination.

Thundercats - awesome.
Inspector Gadget - pretty cool.

'nothin' beats Voltron or Robotech!

Just kiddin' - sorta!

<Shakes Head> The fact that you are obviously oversimplifying indicates lack of understanding the basic requirement of all relationships - communication.

I strongly suspect that you may have thought you gave her everything but, in reality completely ignored her needs.

1st: Before you can even take care of anyone else, you 1st need to take care of yourself.

2nd: It is not you. It is them. Other than probably being a nice person, it more likely that you were simply there for them (like a good friend would be). Don't beat yourself up. Just step back from the situation because you can't help them . They need someone who can be objective about their issues.

3rd: Sometimes, people are sad. I think historically it has been more difficult for men to let out their emotions & are more willing to attempt suicide in a violent manner which is why they have a higher suicide rate. If you know anyone that is currently going through this, call the authorities or a crisis hot-line.

Take Care,

In this case, it is about the quality of the person - not an apt description of all women. I can honestly say that this kind of behavior does not reflect the majority of my sex. If this is the kind of woman that you are attracked to you than I think you are getting what you deserve.

Any male that believes this load of $#@% isn't looking for a real woman but, a Barbie Doll!.

Don't waste our time whinning about being nice doesn't get you anywhere. The truth is that it takes more than simply being "nice". It is about being sincere, honest, kind, and compassionate.

I think we need to have some nice MN debates.

What was the best cartoon that you watched while growing up?

We love them to pieces but, we prefer a bit of buffer between them and us.

Yeah, parents are like that but, as I always say..................


It is not what they (parents) do wrong, but what they do right that matters most.

Maybe you could get a parent sitter??????? Only partially joking. Get him in involved in activities outside of the house like volunteer work or social activities.

When it feels right.

Last time that I checked. Single status did not equate to having a deadly/dreadful disease, committing a crime (misdemeanor/felony), causing harm to another, or should be anything that would cause pain/suffering.

Being single is state of affairs. Life isn't non-existent or lack luster simply because one is single. There is still life out there. It is simply a matter of how you choose to live it.

Good Luck.

P.S.
It is better to be too picky than simply grab any Tom, ****, or Harry. (Or so my mom would say!!!!!)

Well, maybe then you are better as just friends
