Th...Wow that questions requires such a long answer. The hardest part of answering this question is your request of "Forget about your list of expectations and standards for one second" LOL!! OKAY...here goes... at the risk of sounding cheesy that questions reminds me of the movie "Shall We Dance". In the movie there is a scene were Susan Sarandon is sitting at a bar talking to a detective and she says "Why do people get married?" and then she goes on to answer her own question by saying "because we need a witness to our lives... there are a billions of people in on the planet but what does anyone's life really mean but in a marriage ( or RELATIONSHIP)...your promising to care about everything... the good things, the bad, the mundane things, all of it every time everyday...your saying your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it and your life will not go unwitnessed because I will witness it". In the movie they use the context of marriage to get the point across. To me this is really the reason why I feel I want a man in my life. The problem is things are not black and white ..."the list of expectations and standards" are somehow binded to me...... by who you ask?....I dunno. Is it my parents fault?, or society? (w/ those damn fairy tale books & movies lol). I dunno but something within me tells me that there is nothing wrong with wanting what I want. This so called "list of expectations and standards" has been met for many women out there (my sister, my cousins, friends, so on and so on)....so why not me?<BR/><BR/>-VickyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-1775663556226065172008-11-07T09:51:00.000-05:002008-11-07T09:51:00.000-05:00GIrl you touched on so many things with this post....GIrl you touched on so many things with this post. I was just thinking today about certain decisions I have made and wheter or not they were really my deepest desires or if I just allowed cultural factors or society to mold my thinking. Now granted the isses I had in mind were pretty trivial but my thoughts were along this path. Now like you God is the primary focus in my life and I was raised by parents who really helped me to appreciate that I would not have to rely on a man to take care of myself in life. However I don't think having that mind set (I can take care of myself) is a bad thing so when you are married it does not go away it just takes on another form. THis is what I mean- based on bible teachings yes, the man is the head of the household and I totally respect that so my indepence would not be exercised in such a way that I would try to act as the head, but I would still feel confident in making decisions and using my brain. I probably am not articulating this in the right way but I would still be independent enough to still be my own woman -some women blend into the man and no longer have their own identity...that WILL NOT BE ME. So What role would he play, yes he would be the one who takes the lead in the household in making decisions but thats not to say that I wouldnt have input certainly I would, I wouldn't marry a man who couldnt/ wouldn't appreciate my input. YEs, he would be there to listen to me and care for me etc. but I am there to do the same for him. It has to be a guy whose headship I could respect and a man who is willing and able to be whatever I need at a particular time. I know that no one is perfect and no human can be all things at all times but I want a guy who basically has it together.<BR/>I hope I got my poitn across...lol<BR/>maybe not....perhaps I will write more later..lol.<BR/>PJDProduct Junkie Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803316091567705820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181560016799701612.post-84497225766879759302008-11-03T15:26:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:26:00.000-05:00I'm with Curvygurl, I'm tired of holding it down. ...I'm with Curvygurl, I'm tired of holding it down. I've been in relationships since I was 16, Lord willing, I'll see my 45th Birthday next July and I've yet to experience a "true partnership". I love God and no one will come before him! However; I want a man in my life to comfort me. You know those ways in which words aren't needed. A touch, an ear, a rose, a bowl of chicken noodle soup... the little details that makes you feel loved and appreciated and protected. I use to think that if "he" would just manage his finances we would be "happier" but now I think that he truly didn't have my best interest at "heart". It was tiring surpressing my strengths and holding down the household waiting for him to "grow up". Since my divorce I've taken some much needed time to discover me and where "it" went wrong. I'm a firm believer in the breakdown of a relationship takes two. So with that being said, when God sends my Prince, I'm going to "submit" like the bible says! I'll be more than willing to hang up my crown of independence when he arrives!

Well...now that I'm 37 that whole thought process is a crock of ish to me. It's neither realistic nor the truth in most cases. Sure, it sounds like you're being independent and self-empowering but the truth is you're limiting yourself. Limiting true love because you're not allowing your heart to be exposed outside of self-defined boundaries. Not to mention, my desire for companionship with the possibility of more. <BR/><BR/>Frankly, I’m at the point in my life where I’m tired of holding it down on my own. I make good money, have the house, car, etc. but I’d like to know that someone else has my back if the bottom falls out. I’m ready for the next level with the man God specially designed for me. With this said, you won’t find me allowing just any man in for the sake of having one, he has to add some value.
