Out of all of the posts that I have written never have I received so much mail! I received emails and IM's all with suggestions and comments about me and relationships. Some of these people know me, most don't. But there was a general consensus...
Most of the mail suggests that there is something wrong with me.
Oh some said they were just now finding the right person and I will too one day( 3 months into the relationship I might add); some said a long term marriage was the answer, just have to persevere through the hard times (wish they had told me how hard the hard times were); some said that I am destined to be single and alone for eternity (does 3 divorces and 3 additional engagements make me alone?) Some suggested that I am too independent; others suggested that I am too codependent; Some suggested my personality is too strong; others suggested I am not strong enough.
You get the picture.
I still cannot believe that this post generated so much interest. I had 129 views of the post and approximately 75 emails and/or IM's. Unreal!!! To give you an idea of how much interest this has generated; I have never had more than about 20 emails or IM's. Is this really the most interesting topic that I have posted? I don't think so. I think it is a topic that we can all relate to in one way or another.
Most of the emails and IM's came from people that I play online poker with and have never actually met (except one ex boyfriend that just wanted to take the opportunity to tell me I missed out....I didn't, trust me on this one).
At any rate, hope everyone feels better. Let me reiterate exactly what the post was about. It was really about getting what you ask for in a relationship.
It was not really an invitation to criticize, but, point well taken.

Amazing. Kind of interesting that everyone has an opinion on it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of stupid that anyone thinks they have to have a relationship to be happy, and even more stupid for people to think the worst thing they can say to someone is they are too independant or that they will be single forever. I'm just shaking my head,
It's the damn pocker players. Mostly men, looking for a reason to blame all their problems on women . . . you just happen to be wearing the target this week. Lasy SOBs! lol
