Introducing Blanca: Red-flag warning system?

I’m channeling Charlotte York for my first “Misadventures” blog: “I’ve been dating since I was 15. I’m exhausted! Where is he?”

That’s how I come you; a tired, weary, yet hopeful 20-something woman still looking for “The One.”

I was at first hesitant to blog about my dating experiences, which have run the gamut from wonderful to hilarious to heart-breaking to downright bizarre. (Sorry, Mom, about that one time…) But then I realized: if I haven’t gotten a real relationship out of most of these experiences, I should at least get some advice.

It seems the more I date, the less I know, and that’s where you all come in. I’m hoping you can give me the wisdom I’ll surely need as I continue on the quest for the proverbial true love. And when all else fails, perhaps you can share a laugh with me over some of my foibles.

Like this one…

My fourth date with “Jeremy” ended with the 31-year-old man in fetal position on my living room floor, wailing at the top of his lungs. And for better or worse, he wasn’t even crying because I told him it wasn’t working out.

I should’ve acknowledged the red flag he threw my way the date prior: “My parents are terrible people.”

Yikes.

Had we not already scheduled the fourth date, I probably wouldn’t have seen him again. Sure, some people do indeed have awful parents, but I was weirded out by his blanket statement. (And other factors, like his claim about his altered brain chemistry.) Fast forward to the final date, when he wanted to talk about his childhood…ending in WailFest 2008. (I’m sure my neighbors thought I was engaging in some twisted ritual.)

I believe we all have “red-flag warning systems,” but I didn’t heed mine. Prior to the terrible parents comment, he was hilarious, smart, engaging and kept me on my toes. Even though I had a bad feeling about the family situation, I kept the date. Luckily, he left my house transgressing on nothing more than my tear-soaked rug.

What do you think about my “red flag” theory? Are there times you had a gut feeling you ignored, and later regretted?

Good Morning All and Welcome Blanca!

I think we all have a internal warning systemthat screams DANGER(INSERT YOUR NAME HERE)DANGER!! But sometimes we are so caught up in the good time of it all that we failed to see the flashing lights and railway warning signal lights. I know I have some heavy…heavy..heavy regrets about dating and or having sex with some guys but I believe everything happens for a reason…if nothing else but to serve as a warning to others. See what can happen if you don’t pay attention. We live, love, laugh and learn.

Welcome Blanca!!!. You are already off to a good start. The blog opened on time! I hope we don’t run you off screaming.

This part, however, may pose a problem: It seems the more I date, the less I know, and that’s where you all come in. I’m hoping you can give me the wisdom I’ll surely need as I continue on the quest for the proverbial true love. Except for a very select few of us, it’s the blind leading the blind on here! :-P

I’m getting blog topic deja vu. Oh yeah, we talked about this in November http://www.accessatlanta.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/dating/entries/2007/11/27/unfinished.html But I guess enough time has passed to talk about this again!

Tough room yes, but welcome. Stick to your guns and you’ll be fine!

Good morning to the rest of the blog! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday!

As far as the “red flag” theory goes, we have all had that gut feeling that we ignored. It’s certainly a part of dating. When this is done, hopefully something was learned. I did something my gut told me not to do. I asked a guy out for drinks and a bite to eat. By doing this I was going to pay since I initiated the date. Well, he was glad I called and said yes. We had a set time. He was to meet me at my place. I waited for awhile then resigned that this date would not take place. He called me 3 hrs. later to see what I was doing and if I wanted company….CLICK! My gut told me when I first made the phone call, not to do it!!!!

What made you decide this?

I think the gut feeling situation I had was meeting a girl at a bar and then heading to the next spot with her. Something told me that I should just relax, but I felt like partying and had no one to hang with so we jump in the car, head out to Flambeaux to hang out and everything was cool….so I thought…The next thing I know she goes to the bathroom and comes back sayin…I just got a text message from my ex boyfriend and he is coming up here. You need to LEAVE! He is crazy and Im like why did I know this would happen…Drama…

While seemingly unfair, it is a task Diva continues to choose to take on. When Bella announced her departure I already assumed that we would get mostly repeats. There are only so many different dating happenings that can take place. It’s all in how it is presented. Diva’s entries chime about 10 years more mature than all the past moderators. So even if she doubles back on one of theirs it comes off with a different perspective.

But yeah…

Happy Birthday Teresa. I’d love to put you over my knee and tear that azz up. If you like it rough drop me a line.

Blanca Welcome to blog hell. My advice, try to have fun because you won’t be learning much in this camp about dating. The same dsyfuncional folks you meet on the street are in here blogging. LMAO

Don’t take this personal but AJC is fuggin up. I can see why their circulation is dropping. We didn’t need another female moderator, we needed a dude, then we can get new topics like “My girlfriend just told me she’s pregnant and I was about to tell her it’s over. Should I move to Montana or Idaho?” or “Am I justified for slapping the shyt out of this chick for mentioning marriage AGAIN?” Those would be priceless.

On a sad note, I had to bury a long term eating utensil this weekend. I dropped and cracked my favorite blue Dino Bowl. This bowl was triple sized and could hold anything short of a whole watermelon. I’ve had it for about 7 years and I’ll defintely miss it. I haven’t been this devastated since I melted down my favorite microwave plate a few years back. Now this hurts.

Good morning blogsville. Everyone wake the hellz up.

I guess I should get on topic today:

What do you think about my “red flag” theory? Are there times you had a gut feeling you ignored, and later regretted?

Well, I can’t say I’ve ignored red flags for too long. This is one reason that I haven’t had long term relationships. Once the red flag goes up, it’s hard for me to ignore. I break it up before the red flag turns into a train wreck of a relationship.

Some of my friends argue that I’m cutting off potential great relationships by not giving them a chance. The only chance I see is for me to kick myself later for not listening to myself earlier.

In efforts to be more tolerant, I’ve kept a guy in the picture for a few more dates than I intended. All it does is solidify my decision to get out before it gets worse.

By SlimOne

July 7, 2008 9:55 AM | Link to this

I agree with Truth. I feel it would be a GREAT welcome change to, if not everyday, but every other day, to have a male moderator on with male-related issues.

Truth Why don’t you be responsible for posting our daily blog topic change from male perspective? If you can’t take it on full time, would you be willing to do it a few times a week like today when we are sort of burned out on this topic of RED FLAGS????

By Foots

July 7, 2008 9:56 AM | Link to this

M. What made you decide this?

Shoot, I may be in the minority on this, but if me and a guy had a date set up and he agreed to meet me at my house, I waited for hours and he didn’t show up, I’d decide that the date wasn’t happening either.

SexyLeggs That’s jacked up. I’ve heard of forgetful, but dang. Something similar has happened to me before, so I understand. A dude that was on the outs called me and begged me to spend some time with him, whatever I wanted to do. I made the date against my better judgement, or rather, we set the date for when he would be back in town and available. That day comes and goes and he calls me like three days later. I answered the phone because I was curious about what he would say. He was like, “So, what’s up? How are you?” When I told him that he missed the date he asked me for, he was like, “Well, I was still out of town. But I promise that I’ll make it up to you.” It was funny how his phone worked while he was out of town to ask me out, but it didn’t work to cancel or acknowledge anything.

Needless to say, I never answered his calls or texts again. He sent the requisite “I never meant for things to turn out like this…I wish we could just start over” back to back novel-length texts about a month later, with no response from me. I should have remembered that he was on the outs for not keeping his word to begin with.

M, we agreed to meet at my place around 9:30-9:45. At 10:45 I mentally called it a wrap. I wasn’t dressed yet so no problem changing clothes. (I don’t put my clothes on until I’m ready to leave - don’t believe in sitting around trying not to get my clothes wrinkled). Anyway, when he called 3 hrs. later nothing needed to be said. Yes, I had to pick up the phone simply to get the satisfaction of hanging up!

BTW M, she was a fool to even tell her ex where she was (being that he’s crazy). She only did that because she wanted to be with him and not you. Sorry!

Amazon Some of my friends argue that I’m cutting off potential great relationships by not giving them a chance.

This made me laugh because this weekend at the two cookouts I went to, all of my friends (and one of my girl’s mama) were like, “So, how long you gonna keep this one? You know you keep it moving if he ain’t right.” After hearing that 6 times from 6 different people, I couldn’t do anything but shake my head at myself.

It got to the point one time when I’d tell my old boss about somebody and he’d pull out his calendar to schedule the End-of-Dude Debriefing Session. He only gave me about 7 weeks each time. When my row started taking bets on how long I would keep a new guy around, I stopped telling them shyt. LOL!!

So I’m with you. I’ve had some things go wrong in the early stages, red flags I knew I couldn’t deal with, and gotten out before they became worse.

In Blanca’s situation that is definitely a Red Flagger. But I have found sometimes, and still do listening to others, that not all red flags are what they seem. Sometimes people tend to mentally fabricate a RF for fear of getting too deep into the relationship. Some people have gone thru so many bad relationships that they see something that is not there in a new one therefore justifying their early departure. Some people are just too darn picky and refuse to grasp the notion that no one is perfect. Not all red flags are such.

Hi Blanca. I ignore red flags when I have too much free time and decide to entertain some foolishness w/ only a dim hope of being proven wrong. But yeah, it’s usually some b.s.

You’ve already made me chuckle cuz yous a tired, weary, yet hopeful 20-something woman. Unless you started waaay early, I’m gonna say you’ve gotta remain “hopeful” at least another ten years, tho I will allow tiny doses of bitterness every 6-9 mos. Hmmm I was expecting a dude too. Like maybe KP had been layin low to get ready to stir it up or sumthin. But at least we got a healthy baby. ;)

It’s all a GAME, learn how to play it. When a man is into you, you’ll know it by his actions, you won’t have to wait and wonder why he hasn’t called or call you back, all the why’s will not be in the equation. I’ve learn to be a good player and not be offensive when it doesn’t play in my favor. I’m playing the game with a fellow as I blog. He started it and now I will finish it. In the meantime I will not lay all my cards on the table for one man. This weekend I went to two cookout with two different players, one called yesterday but I declined the invitation, but bet we will be going out this coming weekend. I see it as this, until he says the word commitment I will NOT commit any of my energy with one man. I will NOT sit and wait for his calls or invitation for a date, as for the red flags, if he displays then he’ll be put on the far back burner, it’s a wrap.

KP You know Truth thinks hope is lost for happiness in relationships.

Now, that’s not entirely true. He believes that there is no hope for marriage and fidelity. Relationship happiness is still on the table for him, shoot, he’s probably had some of the longest relationships out of all of us…

And for the record, I was actually hoping that our new person was a dude too. I thought that’s why it was such a big secret who the new moderator was.

But Blanca, welcome and I hope you do well. Take note though, please read the blog and interact with us throughout the day. If you’d like to get advice from some bloggers, you have to check back in from time and time and mix it up with us. Just don’t post your topic in the morning and let us have it, be a blogger too.

Welcome Blanca

You know, eventually a weakness or vulnerable moment comes up for everyone. It’s just gives one a case of heebs and jeebs if it is right away.

I, like most folks, look to establish a pattern of consistency from someone I am dating. For example: If I am dating someone for a year and she trusts me enough to let out something that was bothering her (like mommy and daddy issues) - that would be ok. But as long as she moved on and she wanted to share her innermost with me is cool.

I’m just not a live-in therapist; nor do I want someone who has strong moments in between a daily vulnerable.

But in time, something always comes out and makes someone vulnerable. That’s bound to happen as long as it’s not one of many in a laundry list of maladies.

KP You might have a point about Truth but we need to come up with a male blogger that’s willing to step up that’s going to give us real life issues to discuss, male-wise. Truth maybe a little harsh at times but to him the things he speaks about is real to him. If nothing else, he’ll give us something to fight about. LOL!

Blogsville Anyone have a nominee for the Male-Blogger-Perspective??? Or any men willing to step up to the challenge? If the thought of having to come up with a topic too often is deterring you all to accept the challenge, maybe we can delegate it out to a different person day-to-day. What’ll ya say?

KP I’m not pessimistic about relationships. Hell I’ve spent more time in them than dam near anyone on this blog. I’ve got more time in relationships than you do in that bible. I counted 19 out of the last 25 years I’ve been in relationships. And I’VE been happy all 19 years, although I don’t know about my mates (It’s my job to make sure I’m always happy). My amazement is that the folks that claim to want to be in relationships the most know absolutely nothing about them.

Personally I take a practical view of relationships. They’re not the end all be all. They’re just a phase of your life that you share with someone else.

I do have a problem with marriage and the legalities involved with it. It’s a lose/lose situation for a dude.

BTW, for the ladies that stated last week that a chick was deserving of a guys cash when they split, do you feel she should have to take some of his debt too?

thegame, I thoroughly understand what you’re saying. Since I’m new on the dating scene I’ve been watching and taking notes. I will not put all my cards on the table. I will be upfront and honest and enjoy your company and see how things unfold. As for my weekend fiasco, I know this guy really, really likes me. But, more importantly, I know he has no concept of time and sees nothing wrong with calling 3-4 hours after designated outing was to occur. I won’t tolerate this so I resigned early into the waiting for him to call that this wasn’t going to happen. And if it did happen it would be on me accepting how he blatantly disrespects others time. I wasn’t going to allow this to happen.

Truth you make an interesting argument when you say it is a lose/lose situation for a dude in a relationship. You’ve made this comment several times in the past. It would seem to me if that is how you feel and is a summation of your past relationships then you really have not been happy in all of your relationships (19 years). Now go easy on me…..I’m just sharing my thoughts here.

For anyone (male or female) to share their full existence with another person is a gamble. We all come into relationships with different personalities and life experiences; and expects those things (baggage) to blend without disturbance. Heck if that was the case; we would all have perfect relationships. Folks are so lost in regards to expectations. We are expecting too much from each other especially when we don’t have our own house in order. Just my two cent.

Foots that was some good advice you gave to Blanca.

I nominate the following guys: KP, ABC, GaMan, Poppa Grande, Darrell, Truth, Demi, Real, 2CPTG©, and Blue to contribute topics for the blog. Topics from these guys would be a good mix. Some days would be off the chain!

No matter what he said that sound legitimate, he had an ulterior motive that I knew was going to leave me hurt and broken. I know I probably ticked off and passed on some good ones for that reason. And a few times I did do or say things to get the dreaded outcome that I just knew was bound to happen. I made it happen. So yeah those RF are sometimes our imagination and/or constructing.

Slim we need to come up with a male blogger that’s willing to step up that’s going to give us real life issues to discuss, male-wise

I vote for the alternating entry method, different dudes posting, with the blog topic change at noon. We really need somebody who won’t back down from a discussion, we’ve seen some of these dudes run when folks disagreed with them or when they were challenged. Don’t need that. Some of the dudes that I don’t believe have ever backed down from a good blog discussion are 2C, Truth, BlueK and SeanJ. Even Binford hangs in there tough. LOL! That’s five right there, one for each day of the week.

Good for you SexyLeggs I’ve been the one with a low self esteem and no I’n not ashame to say it, but after being played time and time again I learn to either play fire with fire or get burned. Don’t get me wrong, I do desire to be in a commited relationship, but to sit back and take the mess that most men dish out just to see how far they can drag me is not an option for me. I’ve never been a dater, always in a commited relationship. What I dreaded I’m actually liking since it gives me the power to chose who I date rather than sit and take what is given to me.

and i aint mad at jason for stating the obvious. honestly, i was thinking that anyone who ignores what their gut tells them reeks of desperation …. wanting what you want just cause you want it. thats an immature approach that probably isnt confined to dating. never mind finding someone good enough to date… you need to take yourself on some dates and get good enough.

Too funny, home page of msn.com has “divorced women dreading the ups and down of dating.”

M, no he didn’t change his mind. He simply doesn’t care what time he calls you back or arrives after agreeing to a specified time. To be totally honest, I just put the carrot out there to see if he would bite. In my heart of hearts I knew the date wouldn’t occur, but wanted to see if he would make a concerted effort to show me he is trying to get with me and keep his word. Wanted to see if he would stop talking about the side of his mouth. I had no doubt he would call hours later to see if I was still up. Was hoping it didn’t go that route, but I knew it would. I was p** at myself because I was right.

Raqi I must agree with your 10:07. I can definitely say that I have manufactured some flags of the red variety in my day. Especially when I was just starting out in my relationship career. I did have to ask myself if I was cutting them out because I truly felt that this wasn’t the right person for me or because I wanted them to be perfect (or even more like me).

The older I get, the more sure I am that I’m cutting folks for the right reasons and I can better identify things that I can’t live with, versus things that just make that dude unique. I’m more tolerant of differences in people, at the same time, keeping my low tolerance for BS.

A whole book on a drug dealer’s psyche can be written based on the contents of that song, because it taps into the mindset of someone who makes the capitalist decision to sell something that is obviously in demand.

My friend has been married for 11 years now. She is deeply in love with her husband i mean we always thought they were the perfect couple. sure they had up’s and down’s but every relationship does. But about eight years ago her husband had an afair on her. he told her about it, she forgave him and they moved on. Now years later and two miscarriages she gets a letter in the mail. The woman whom her husband had a affair with was suing for child support. Her husband didn’t know that he had got the woman pregnant until the papers came for him to take the paternity test. The little boy turned out to be his. so now he had a 8 year old son that spends every weekend, holiday, and summer at their home. My friend said everytime she looks at the little boy her heart breaks all over again. they have tried counselling, she even moved out of their home so she would not have to see the little boy. her husband is hurting because he want his marriage to work, and she does to but she don’t want the little boy to be apart of their family. She said that before she ask her husband to choose she would just leave him all together.

I know they love and want to be with each other, and she forgave him but now that the little boy is here she don’t want any part of it… Since i’m not married i decided not to give her advice, but i know this form has a lot of married people on here so i’m asking them what would you do in this situation. She said that they can be happy if the little boy wasn’t around but she refuse to tell him that is why she won’t move back in. Even last Christmas she choose not to call him, or let him come around because she was afraid that the little boy would be around, she was scared to call him because she didn’t want to hear the little boy’s voice in the background. It hurts me seeing my friend like this… what words can i say to her to help her through this time?

Sabra, I can go into many dynamics of this case, but there’s only one thing that’s important to me. If she really loves her husband and wants to work at her marriage, she’ll accept his child. I realize mentally/emotinally it will be hard to get over the fact that she had 2 miscarriages and yearns for a child of their own. The little boy should not feel “not wanted” because he’s here. It’s a hard pill to swallow, yet a pill she needs to swallow if she wants to remain married. She needs to stay in counseling until she can accept this child. If not, then she needs to divorce because she will only make the entire household unhabitable. Hate, regret, scorn will fester in the walls of that marriage and will only lead to doom! She forgave the affair, now she needs to find a way to forgive the seed that sprouted as a result of this affair. She needs to accept the entire package. I know this is easier said than done.

By WOW

July 7, 2008 12:11 PM | Link to this

Sabra Your friend’s husband needs to give her the divorce. If he really loved her, he wouldn’t try to force her to deal with his mistakes when they are so very hurtful to her. But, men don’t think that way. Even tho’ he probably wouldn’t deal with the situation if it were reversed, he thinks nothing of trying to force her to deal with it.

btw, he doesn’t have to accept service of divorce papers. She can publish those bad boys in the newspaper & proceed!

Folks, i’m not jaded about relationships. I think they’re great if the dude is running them and the chick follows happily. Marriage on the other hand is just a crappy deal. If I said lets start a business where the wash out rate is 50-70% and most likely one of the partners is gonna cheat and eventually you’ll both get tired of that business, would you do it? Not to mention that the main purpose of the union will become a financial drain both during and after the breakup. Just wondering who’d want to go in business under those terms?

Sabra if she cannot stand to look at the little boy or hear his voice, then she really has NOT forgiven him. she is projecting her anger at him on a defenseless, innocent child. for the time that she stayed with him before the child was introduced she was just pretending it didnt happen and there was nothing to block that ‘cleaned up’ version of the reality. this child blows that pretense to … (well, you know).

And, you I’d find it hard to advise her that in order to truly forgive him, would be to accept the little boy, afterall he did not ask to come here. And, this pregnancy took place DURING the marriage, not during a breakup or something. That’s a tough one…I’d be interested in seeing what the other ladies have to say.

Sabra I have to agree with what most folks have already said. If she forgave him for cheating, then she will find it in her heart to forgive him for conceiving a child outside the marriage. That is a very hard thing to deal with (especially considering her ordeals with miscarriages). No one can tell her how to feel about this, but if she loves her husband then she will accept what is his.

2C it’s not tha there aren’t any takkers, but any time you attept a rebellion, you have to get organized Um…I thought that’s what we were trying to do….We can’t go any further with it unless some of yall menfolk at least say “Hey, I’d be interested in taking the reigns one day..blah blah blah”…feel me? I figured somebody would have spoken up by now being that you all tend to complain any other day…even you yourself said this morning that the RED FLAGS deal was redundant. So ONCE we have a few mens (yeah i said menS) that are willing to try it, this idea is going to self-destruct in 30, 29, 28, 27, 26……seconds. lol

It’s tough to say that she has forgiven her husband if she cant fully accept the son. Her forgivness was conditional……meaning that as long as she could ignore that it happened, she was fine.

She is a straight up idiot and fool to forgive the husband but not accept the kid. I don’t care if you found out about the kid 20 years later, it don’t matter

Sabra 1) ur friend needs to contact this blog herself 2) tell her,this aint a big deal,she needs to focus on whats important to her and then move on.If she wants hubby,a loving female can easlily forgive the man and then take the kid as a blessing from God,she can luv him like hers.If she wants to move on coz of this simple issue,thats on her but i can tell u she will be more torn and messed up than if she stays and fixes this problem in her mind.All she has is a mental bloc that she can easliy fix but which most women are afflicted by.The type of women that $$$$$ and Long prey on.Messed for lyfe!!

The majority of black men do not seek over weight women all the time, size 12 & UP

Yes I’ve seen some out in public, but they aren’t the type of men the women in my circle would be attracted too. The men in my circle are upwardly mobile. I was at my SO’s corporate dinner and none of the women were a size 12&up. I think the smaller you are the more options you have in a QUALITY dating pool.

I’m sure that there are men who are exclusively attracted to over weight women :( but if you put the biggum woman and a slim shapely woman in a bikini, I’m sure that the “majority” of men would find the slim/curvy woman to be more attractive.

Psssttt….Slim, let me whisper at cha for a sex….They want the women to organize it for them, so all they have to do is show up…They aren’t going to petition the AJC for changes, even though they don’t like the status quo…Leadership is a mug when it’s about actually doing instead of talking about doing…

Sabra What a predicament! I can’t even pretend to know what emotions are running through her. But I agree with SexyLeggs and 2C, she either has to accept it and completely forgive or move on with her life. With this one, there is no fence sitting, because of the innocent child’s feelings.

I know older adults that have gone through something like this, and it’s a tall order for a wife to accept something like this, but she won’t be the first and won’t be the last either. What’s done is done…his affair could have resulted in A.) A disease B.) A child C.) A child and a disease D.) None of the above. With any of the options, the affair still happened, whether she has evidence of it in her face or not. If she really forgave the original event, the affair, no matter how it hurts, she’d have to forgive the outcome of the event.

In the end, she has to do whatever makes her able to sleep at night, either get with the program or proceed to cancel. No matter how wrong he was, when he begins to love that child, he is going to resent her for rejecting his baby.

Sabra, it’s obvious the situation is too much for her. Because of if it is and she can’t find herself getting past all the hurt, then I agree w/WOW @ 11:21.

But, let me ask you this. You say When everything first happened she took the little boy shopping, introduced him to her nephews and neices as her stepson Ok, when did the fluffy cloud of her existence disperse. Are you saying she was happy as a lark in the beginning, but when she made a mental note that this is will be a permanent family fixture her heart got heavy. How did the “no tolerance to see or hear him” come about? Not only that, how long before she accepted him and introduced him as stepson that she found herself backing away. Really curious!

Melo It’s a big deal, and it doesn’t make it any less so because you don’t understand it. You yourself can’t deal with infidelity and you sure wouldn’t raise another man’s child conceived with your wife while she was your wife.

This is NOT adoption, this is not a surrogacy, this is the child of a woman whom her husband slept with and got pregnant, when she herself has not been successful in maintaining a viable pregnancy. So not only does she have to deal with the infidelity, she has to deal with the fact that this outside woman gave her man something that she couldn’t.

So the question is: If you were shooting blanks, and your wife got pregnant by another man, could YOU raise another man’s child as your own, and accept him into your family and still say it’s no big deal? If not, why would you expect a woman to be stronger than you?

Blue I think that the women are all on “forgive completely or leave”. Truth is the only one who is on the “leave” tip.

Sexy sounds cheesy but she had been practicing LOA principles. Things had been going very well for her up to the point of finding about the boy. She was feeling they would have a baby blessing soon. But when she learned of the son she decided to just get over it (like maybe she couldn’t bear kids so this would be a blessing in some way). Then her hubby started to be really into the parenting thing, the kid was always coming around. They started bonding and she felt left out, like she couldn’t give her husband this one thing (which he got as a result from the affair).

I think she just chickened out and couldn’t take seeing/hearing the boy so she had to get her own place. She has not physically seen her husband in 2 mos. Like I wrote earlier she won’t even accept calls for fear of hearing the boy in the background. Her husband even tried to see her at my BBQ on the 4th.

I don’t know what to do..but I’m going to let her read all of the responses, esp. yours SexyLeggs

OK, Melo. I wasn’t debating your advice, just thought your outlook was thru the rose colored glasses of what you’d allow to occur, as if she could’ve been proactive. If your mate has an affair, you as the one cheated upon can only be reactive. Cee thought I was actin up, but thanks for the definition. I’m sure you’ll keep us posted on other catch phrases to listen for.

As for your theory on Independence, I won’t really argue that either, tho for the most part, it’s not worth having “just any” just to say you “have some.” Which is where a lotta ladies get it twisted.

Well, while you’re tryna be funny, I was told about 10 years ago that most black women name ends with “A” and is a dead give away on any resume, resulting in those resumes being overlooked. I was advised to use the initial(s) and last name. The friend that pointed that out did the same and ended the rejection of resumes within no time of adopting the new name layout

Slim I’ll do it, but they gotta pay me. Other than that this is entertainment and a way for me to go off on folks without taking a charge. LOL

The pawn shop was Army/Navy in Stockbridge, right down from Wal Mart on 138. Another chick was telling me she wanted to take classes and get a pistol. It’s gonna be the wild wild west in here soon. LOL

IG my little love muffin. When I make a decision I take my feelings out of it and gather as much info as I can. Then I make the decision based on my research. So love has absolutley nothing to do with it. Every time I’ve made a decision based on feelings it turned out to be a stupid one.

Melo sometimes just the fact that she’s going thru so much grief is enough to think starting over would be better. And if I was married to a chick and found out she had a child before that was staying with fam that child wouldn’t be welcome in my house. My heart isn’t like that and my doors are always opened. Children aren’t always a blessing, as a matter of fact most of the time they are unwanted and the start of a long downward spiral. I babysat my nephew this weekend and I was like “this is some bullshyt”. He’s 7 but always asking questions and needing something. I had to tell his azz to chill out. That isn’t for me.

Chief you want to get something off of your chest? Feel free. LMAO It’s like you came in here saying “I have something to say and everyone is talking”. Go ahead, the floor is yours. Hold on, Slim is calling me. LOL

Good Afternoon Blog Fam Sorry I’m late I’m having a busy Monday. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Sabra I pretty much agree with what everyone has said in the blog. Except I’m going to get a little personal. I was in a similar situation (can’t have kids) and my SO came to me with similar news. The child wasn’t really the issue IMO. He changed towards me. The child was the catalyst of unspoken issues already lying underneath the surface. Don’t get me wrong, I was devastated when I found out and me and God and Bacardi did a whole lot of crying together. I would encourage your friend to not so much look at the child as looking at how her husband has changed since the child came into the picture. (I can’t lie. I’m mad at baby mama waiting 8 damn years to drop the news. How’s baby mama working herself into the picture?)

*Chief Wiggum *, just curious, isn’t this blog about “yapping” back and forth. Apparently you’ve been around long enough to know how this blog works. Change back to your original moniker and continue to join in.

Sabra, I hope your friend can sit down with herself and honestly map out what she needs to do. This may be best done w/her husband by her side.**

Foots, you nailed it. Nothing left to be said —-> This is NOT adoption, this is not a surrogacy, this is the child of a woman whom her husband slept with and got pregnant, when she herself has not been successful in maintaining a viable pregnancy. So not only does she have to deal with the infidelity, she has to deal with the fact that this outside woman gave her man something that she couldn’t.

Even if she cooked a 5 course meal every nite, at the end of the day, cheating was a choice he made mentally & allowed his peeni to carry out physically, and since there’s a child coulda been w/o barriers as well. Who knows, she mighta been open to swingin. But even that doesn’t mean he still wouldn’t pursue or seek other warm, welcoming places.

If you can get it at least 3-5 times a week, you’ll add 7-10 years to your life. ALLEGEDLY.

    Name for his penis (even if its witty) My manhood just is - no name required

    Less than $20 in his wallet I use credit most of the time, so this happens now and again

    Unstamped passport The Gov’t was slow in getting me mine (I went to the Carribean) and they don’t stamp it driving in to Canada - so oh well

    Lucky Shirt If I had one, it’d be burned by now

    Key chain with a bottle opener I have one that looks like a shark - not a big drinker, but it comes in handy

    Empty Fridge Not applicable to me

    Witty email signature Not applicable for personal - work is standard

    Black eye I get bruises everywhere BUT my face

    SILM

    I do have some topic ideas, we’ll play it by ear tomorrow.

    Truth Did somebody summon me? I heard bubble guts, and had to chime in. LOL!! I’ve been eating watermelon for the past week and have been getting quite the bladder workout. No other adverse effects as of yet…

    By the way, my dad and I built two 3’ x 6’ raised garden beds in April and my goodness, I have a big haul now. I have cucumbers, squash, jalapenos, okra, and 10 little tomatoes that are coming in. I had so much doggone squash, I had to give it away. Now the darn things are starting over! My mom is growing watermelon vines in her garden and they are the cutest little things. Nothing like organic food that you cultivate yourself.

    Atl & Truth - That show is not new, it was on last year. They would have this panel of dudes, maybe 2 might have some sense, the others would be wack. For example, they had a discussion one time about dating older/younger women. There was this old dude on there(50-plus or older) who was going on about how he only liked younger, cute women and anyone over 30 need not apply. That’s fine, to each his own, but why did ole dude look like he was 10 months pregnant, with salt & pepper hair that he claim he got HIGHLIGHTED! I was LMAO! But you couldn’t tell him he wasn’t the sh—! I think they have some guys on there to just stir up stuff and have contraversy. It was a little weak to me, I’m surprised it’s coming back. Anyway, when I did tune in, I took the “advice” offered with a grain of salt, much like I do that that is offered by most of the dudes on this blog.LOL

    Hey Everybody…..

    On Topic:

    Here goes the “resurrection” of red flags…which depending on the urgency of the matter, I’ve either disregarded them or handled the situation accordingly…speaking of this w/kend, I totally disregarded the “red flags” and had myself a ball (courteousy of good ole’ “Ybo Citeh”…

    …and I believe IslandG, gave all of us the “lo-down” of 12 outta 75 reasons folks need to make sex part of their daily lives…which to me seems parallel to the Daily Food Guide Pyramid, right up there next to oils, fats, and other “good to you’, but if not used sparingly or excessive amounts will have yo’ butt “woe out” and “loosed” ….uggghhh, got a visual.

    …and Baybeh Blue, I’m almost sure most women would not argue w/ you regarding “gettin’ sum” on the regular, but unfortunately it ONLY serves temporary relief, like Tylenol…taken on an as needed basis. (wink)…for real, how are ya’?…thought bout’ cha this wkend down in Ybo, when I saw all dem fine black menfolk posted up on their bikes…

    (now all of a sudden hearing Della Reese to Mr. Calhoun say: “I’m uh honest ho3…and all my ho3s is honest”)…regarding legalized prostitution…you can frickazee, fry it, sautee it all ya’ like, but I still can only smdh…

    My first date with my latest disaster SHOULD HAVE had all kinds of red flags. When he went through the list (and I mean over 10) girls he had lived with in the last 10 years, I told myself this guy is a mooch. Whatever you do, don’t let him move in you. So, of course, I over-rid that little voice and when the situation presented itself that he needed a place to stay “just for a while” in order for his credit card company to straighten out their mistakes, blah-blah. Well, that turned out he lost his job, and the little while turned into me paying for everything for three years (and five jobs he got fired from). During this time, he ran up $400 porno charges on my cable bill, was having online and phone sex with girls from online dating sites, oh and it just goes on and on… Moral of the story: listen to that little voice. It knows what it is talking about!

    Don’t believe that! Brothers love BIG t!tties too. Why do you think sisters always got ‘em out and in our faces, all up in Kroger?

    And watch the White boys when the sisters with the fat azzes walk by. And if you don’t believe that, look in the back corner, where it’s nice and dark at the strip. But don’t choke when you see it’s a White boy droppin’ major cash on the donkey butt in his face. I’ve probably been to a strip joint on 4/5 occassions(sp) and I’ve seen this phenomenon twice.

Not to mention the child would be a reminder of the fact that he did it raw dog with another woman and put my life at risk by possibly bringing me home a disease.

    Truth You freak! LOL I am not saying I am in that industry. I’m just saying get paid for what you do well! LOL

    Spellman I work out 2 times a day. Being fat is my biggest fear! I’m keeping it in check!I feel ya!

    Dan I think the reason I hate the word thick is because the chicks you speak of use it. So if a guy says that to me I go off! LOL

    Melo I refuse to accept MY HUSBAND’S b*stard child that he fathered while cheating on me! If the child was there before we got together, then that is fine.

    People in the US adopt overseas because they make is so hard for you to adopt here. Any fool can have a baby but to adopt you had better be Jesus Christ or at least a Halo wearing angel with deep pockets.

    Slim You know I’d hook your vest up girl.

(that’s alright, right there, can’t help but smile bout it all…)

    btw…folk(s) in particular mentioned wantin’ us to chop it up in the lounge (of course, just for spitz and giggles)…hope “they” enjoyed the show, tho…(Mocha’s just glad she could be of “some service)….

    Say!….Baybeh Blue…Mocha makin’her presence felt in the “afta”, should not be of surprise to you, me or we. “She puts in work (first), in order to make time for play LATER”….this is “her” norm, no need to adjust, sweetie, but for you I’ll make an exception.
