You better get that second oar in the water.
Yes, let’s blame everyone but yourself for being a doormat.
^^ no kidding!
let’s all ignore the fact that people treat us the way we let them
Women who cater to such useless males deserve everything they get. Such dumb docile beasts get no sympathy from this quarter. Unless they wanna make me a sammich.
What you call baggage others call life experiences and it’s what makes us unique. Since his life experiences appear to you as a burden perhaps you need to simply move on and not criticize someone that is just trying to share past experiences with you.
Or, he does have some issues (as most of us do) that require some professional guidance to work through. Either way, your self-centered and non-compassionate approach is not helpful.
Having been jilted by her male partner…
This is not a gender specific issue. Anyone can make the mistake of thinking the love of their partner is gonna fix everything that is wrong with them. Wrong answer. You fix yourself first so you don’t bring a broken person to a relationship. No one wants to parent their partner.
i don’t think ive ever met a woman that didn’t have some sort of complaint, sob story, emotional baggage etc. I cant remember a man ive ever met that had the same.
Cuja12. There is no shortage of guys who try to push their emotional shit onto their women. I’ve met my share of abusive bastards. The world is full of them. But according to you, only women have baggage. Wow.
I concur with Oceanchick, I met emotional baggage on both side of the street!
For some reason more in this city than other places!
