I know yall have been off this topic for a couple of days now, but I have to take it there ...b/c some of the other post on this board about cheating and what's wrong with women are too long and BOUND to upset me and I won't be able to cheerfully contribute. Anyway, i just wanted to say I believe wholeheartedly in the institution of Marriage and I can't wait for the right (notice I did not say perfect) MAN to come along. A couple of key things that no one mentioned in any great detail are: Love, respect and communication. I have seen honesty bought up but what about the other three. And what about understanding. If two people get together and plan to stay together it would behoove them to get the respect, communication and understanding thing down pat, but LOVE is the end all. I can't quote the bible verse cause I don't have a bible at work, but LOVE is what makes or breaks you.
And Original, I read and reread all your post and I agree it is not always the man's fault but you faked the funk with your "we, women, don't really want to hear the truth thing", and the bit about "honesty hurts" .... but we were talking about friendship a couple of post ago and the worst way to end any type of relationship is to LIE & CHEAT! I always want to be told the truth, it goes back to respecting the person you are with! Now, I could be misinterpreting stuff, I was reading quickly and now trying to run out of work...... ;-) maybe we can chat more
