it means you cant afford me as a maid so dont treat me like one
you cant afford me as a chef so dont treat me like one
you cant afford me as a call girl so dont treat me like one
you cant afford me as your lawyer so dont expect me to get you out of
trouble every time you screw up
what i do for you i do cause i want to not because you think i should
what i do for you you should be able to do for me cause that is what
sharing a life is all about
i need you to be my lover and my friend not my keeper
if you want it any other way
go hire a woman and pay her for all the things you cant afford

now lisa, why am I hearing your last post in daisy dukes voice? lmao

Ihonestly did too. The entire thing was in her voice

???????????????

Well, I don't want a person to make me happy. I want a person to be
happy with.

Awwww perfect words Lisa lol

Naw Daniel, Fanta don't search for scraps and handouts lmao cause he
knows he would starve lol hell he knows how to boil an egg now and fix
toast lmao

well personally i think it's a legit question.Some women and men do use
the word independent to mean"i'm gonna do what i want no matter what you
think or feel" .That could also have been his experience with the
independent word.Just tell him independent people,like countries,are
willing to compromise,they just don't want to be annexed.
Sometimes people ask questions based on their past experiences and we
have to be tolerant of that somewhat.

Thats right Tex, Im independent!!!

Awww Fanta is the Man !!

I told you Ive learned to be good..

Independent? Yeah thats me! And not to be rude but i was a single
Mother of two. And i learned long ago that all my kids had to depend on
was me! So i worked hard and raised them kids and didn't have to depend
on no one else! So now it would be nice to not
have to be so independent! And be able to lean on somebody a little bit
and share my life. Until then friends and good times will work and i
will be independent! lol!

It doesn't bother me that a woman
is independent, as long as she is
open to a relationship.

What bugs me are the women who put
in their profile that they must have
someone who is 'financially independent'
or 'financially stable'.

What does that mean? Rich?

I always think 'gold digger' when
I read that.

I'm a good person who has some
credit card debt. I guess that
would not make me financially
independent, but I am worth
getting to know and sometimes
a great friend is worth more
than all the money in the world.

I think Jackie and mnhiker have made some interesting points. Webster
describes independant as: not requiring or relying on something else :
not contingent <an independent conclusion> (2) : not looking to others
for one's opinions or for guidance in conduct. I am perfectly happy with
those descriptions and with that, I would consider myself as independent
although my independence is a result of age inflicted attitude change.
lol I havent always been independent. Raising three kids was the hardest
thing I have ever done and I admit that even though the "blended family"
situations were dismal failures, it was still nice to feel that at that
time I wasn't going it alone. Some will describe themselves as
independent when they are actually describing their shield used to keep
people from getting too close which is a misrepresentation of the word
and a sign for me to step on the long pedal on the right as quickly as
possible. Been there, done that, no thank you. Tantalizing tulip, as I
am sure you know, comprimise is important in a relationship but I think
you read him wrong. Don't put his sophomoric comment on your plate. I
think what he was more concerned with was that someone wouldn't see
things HIS way. I might be off base- just my opinion.
