Men and Women

I have been reading a book by Olivia Goldsmith about three
almost impossibly evil men and their dastardly deeds to their wives. It is such a bitter story that I am tossing it
back in the pile that goes to the library.

I like men a lot. My two first husbands were perfectly nice
men. They just didn't suit me. My third husband, (the lawyer) was an absolute scumball but Ted is certainly a good
person. He is kind, generous to a fault and has a sweet,
forgiving nature.

I think it is entirely possible to have loving, platonic
friendships with the opposite sex. I don't subscribe to the
belief that men will hurt you if you get involved with them.
That kind of bitterness is unrealistic and will hurt you and
keep you from having a decent relationship.

We all make mistakes but it is never a mistake to be a
caring, loving, nurturing person.

I agree that not harboring resentment is the only way to live. I have friends (I have posted about) who nurture their grievances and live lonely lives, convinced of their righteous affect, and withering away. They are also hard to listen to. But, as a friend, I do and offer gentle suggestions. It's all that is possible. They wont change. It's their "found" reason for living. Martyrdom is their life.

I agree. If you don't believe in love, then you can't fall in love!

Men are good, as a rule, so long as they stay off the sauce.

Good for you! You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince.

I made the same one before I realized that Laura had done the same.

Sometimes a person has to kiss a lot of toads before they find their prince.
