I am 70 and for over 3 years have been in a relationship with a man who lives 1000 miles away. We get to spend a week together every now and then, and have fun. He knows that I am fine on my own. Once he behaved badly, and understands that if this ever happens again, he's out. I am not playing games, but I am independent and love him but don't need him

Hi Marie, I am 74 and I have met someone in another state in Oz. We have been talking on the phone for about 6 months and texting. We are trying to work out a place about half way to meet. He is 19 years my junior and he doesn't care. I don't want to marry again, love my independence and have told him that I want to always have my own home. He said he would relocate but would have to have his own home. I hope things are going well for you. Love from Paris in Oz

Just because someone didn’t do those things don’t make them less likely to not walk away with their power. I cried because I’m a genuine lover. No I never got angry, but I did find the courage to walk away! Also we need to stop this pattern of don’t take him back, the only reason u shouldn’t take him back under no circumstances, is if he was abusive or a cheater anything in that nature. Men are humans too. If he does come back as a woman that’s your decision to make, especially if it wasn’t toxic, and the falling out was petty.

@@judyperri9496 it really depends on the individual situation but, I said never take a man back under no obligation if he doesn’t treat u right, cheat, is toxic, or abusive. Believing so hardly into pushing a man away if he haven’t done those things can really f up a relationship that had potential, so this technique doesn’t always work or does anyone justice, Is the point I’m making.

Ironically, i got out of a relationship where i made many of those mistakes. After that, it’s not that i didn’t want to find love. I just saw all the nonsense clearly. And i promised myself that my sanity and not crying my eyes out was the most important thing to me. I was still kind and spoke calmly, but i no longer lived as if it was my entire job to make a relationship work. It will work because he pours into it. Because he accepts my standards. Because he’s happy to have us. Not be because i stressed over how to be what he wants or because i talked till i’m blue in the face and tried till i was exhausted. It was actually the most peace i’ve ever known. I didn’t care who called back. I didn’t worry about what i could do to be more attractive or that he would be scared off, if i said the wrong thing. I just kindly said no thanks to the guys who seemed just semi interested. And i was honest about my opinions and what i wanted in a man. And long came the right man. And i’ve never been so at peace and happy. Do not be scared to lose a man. Be afraid of trying so hard to keep the wrong man, that what you end up with is so much less than you deserve

And I feel the same about him. He's so weird but so wonderful. We nerd out over hikes together. He is so clear about wanting to be with me. We're on the same page with faith being important to us both, and we haven't shied away from harder conversations. Honestly it feels like im dreaming. Trying to keep my feet on the ground because it's still new, but dang, this one feels different 🥰

In a job interview, I'm not just answering their questions, I have my own set of questions to ensure that it's a good fit for me. So, my perspective is shifting to: do I actually like him, and why? Rather than "oh i hope he likes me...hope he likes me...etc. Merry Christmas, and hope you have a joyful holiday season!

I hope you don’t mind what i’ve learned. Men love to hear that they are doing things right. I’ve seen so many other women get so defensive- like “i shouldn’t have to say anything! He’s a grown up! He should be doing those things!” It’s as if they think appreciating is the same as coercing. One says you know you have a good husband and you want him to know that you see him and all his wonderful qualities. The other is that you’re saying nice things in the hope that he’ll start being a good husband. “Honey, you’re so sweet to take care of the laundry.” “You’re so thoughtful to bring me coffee.” Don’t over do it and make sure it’s sincere. And men love touch. Sometimes, i act as if i’m going to walk by and i hook him it a surprise hug. Sometimes, i walk up from behind and put my arms around him and kiss his neck. Sometimes, i make his favorite meal or grab his favorite snack. I just smile and start cooking. Lol

There was a quote on Facebook: Boy says to a bunny: "It's interesting after the storm the grass is the only one that remains standing." The bunny says "Sometimes being soft means strong". It seems, that nature sometimes shows that a natural and soft approach is the strongest. It's about energy. Maybe therefore after the rain comes the sun and the flowers start to bloom, the animals start to thrive in peaceful energy, the immunity of the human body increases thanks to the sun, etc.

That is enough work already. By the way, you cannnot make someone else feel something in particular and no, most men do not want to see the real woman. That would mean, they know themselves...tz...that is so not the case.
