...but since you did,
I agree with most of the article. People who want relationships need to value them. IMO, black women love harder than anybody else on the planet, and sometimes get played because of it. Add in the supposed imbalance of eligible men to women and yall sometimes put up w/ sub-standard behavior, which leads to residual anger you all bring to future relationships. Then us good guys
have to wait out all that anger until yall realize we don’t intent to do what the last guy did. Sometimes we wait; sometimes we bounce.
I don’t agree with Coombs’ remarks but I think I’m a lil' less critical than ClassyLady. I won’t “excusify” (bootleg word-of-the-day) my behavior. I'm as adult as the woman I'm dealing with in the relationship. If it’s not working out, part as friends; no sense taking folk through drama. Some relationships aren’t meant to go the distance.
We’re never going to figure each other out but that’s the daily magic of the Divine plan, IMO. We need each other more than we realize. So if we’re with the right person (a really, really big if I admit), it shouldn’t be all that hard to “do for your boo what you want your boo to do for you.”
