We ...I'm not sure why you would want a husband. We men have been told for 50 years that "A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle." Is having a man in your life like a Prada handbag? You would really like one but you don't NEED it? <br /><br />We have also been told that marriage was invented by men to dominate and subjugate and control females. So why on Earth would you want to be dominated, subjugated and controlled? Are females completely mad?Pat Riarchynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-27229335407768415822012-06-28T13:44:10.501-05:002012-06-28T13:44:10.501-05:00You are very wise here, love. xoxoYou are very wise here, love. xoxoGiuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569643363733791671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-65197127029146617592012-06-26T16:34:47.417-05:002012-06-26T16:34:47.417-05:00p.s. lara, thanks so much for the kind words! xoxo...p.s. lara, thanks so much for the kind words! xoxoMelissa Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975477573895818097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-13435148959225543932012-06-26T16:34:29.394-05:002012-06-26T16:34:29.394-05:00Lovie -- that is such a beautiful story!

OMG!!! My boyfriend (now my husband who ...Melissa,<br /><br />OMG!!! My boyfriend (now my husband who is also named Brian by the way) used to spend hours at my house just talking. In fact, we still spend hours talking. My dad also came down to check on us under the guise of getting a drink of water. If my mom came down, he would pull her into the conversation and she would spend half the night with us talking and laughing. I remember this one time when Brian was staying for dinner and he was in the living room talking to my mother while my dad (whose middle name is Brian LOL) and I were preparing dinner. He told me he liked Brian even though he was "weird." Brian heard it and yelled out and insisted to be referred to as eccentric because rich people were eccentric and poor people were weird. My mom described Brian as a cross between Thurston Howell III and Arthur Bach but without the alcholism. When I said that, Brian actually ran upstairs to my parents bedroom and woke them up. It startled the hell out of my father. We ended up all sitting in their bed and watching a Fred Astaire movie. After that, he started calling my mom Gilligan or Little Buddy and me Lovie. Sorry to write a novel, Melissa, but your parents' story is so much like me and Brian. I hope you can someday find a love like ours.

Absolutely nothing to add. As for #3, u never ever can fall in love with someone's potential. Fastest road to unhappiness! I guess the key is to embrace the flows and learn to live with them or just balance if it's worth it to do so. Nobody is perfect! :) Besitos!Elsa de Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948492336495259205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-90193403660131868852012-06-25T17:16:13.800-05:002012-06-25T17:16:13.800-05:00This letter just made me tear up–so beautiful and ...This letter just made me tear up–so beautiful and sweet.A Crimson Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474778213617208638noreply@blogger.com
