Dang! I SO thought of bringing up a good drama movie too! You beat me to it

Well put, i like that too. Thx

EXCELLENT!!

I hate Drama.

HATE IT.

Get away from me with your drama an your emotional performances for attention.

I think dealing with someone's problems is one thing but an adult needs to deal with this and not make the problem into a drama. Don't get me wrong; I would try to help a person deal with it but I will draw a line of how much I will take. If the person is always creating drama over the littlest things; I would walk away.

I agree that someone is pathetic if they are expressing their emotions for attention.

You seem to chose to walk away for many reasons. NO offence Navy, but I've read you say this many times. Something for you to think about maybe. I know you said you are ok to be single for the rest of your life, but you may ensure you will be if you don't learn to stay and deal with some of it.
Sometimes the option to walk away, should be over something more important like infidelity, or too many lies..true love endures and is patient.

As I said; I would try to deal with it; but there are times you need to walk away. I can't babysit a grown man and my life is too busy for that. He has to take some responsibility of acting like an adult. Life is too short to stress the little things and I don't want my life to be miserable because of this.

It is always negative for someone in the end. Any drama, whether on screen or domestic always ends badly for one party in any performance. It is by its very nature highly emotional (for whatever the reason); it can become volatile as the emotions are released, verbally or even physically. Most 'dramatics' are associated with pain, anguish and tears;very rarely can it gently subside into a civilized exchange or true forgiveness by either party as in any domestic confrontation. One side will always have the residue of a grudge left over. That is part of 'the human condition'. Possibly the only true forgiveness can result from a situation that has been wholly and completely misunderstood by one party; possible, but doubtful as one party may then quietly progress to speculation of 'what if's'... which may re-ignite another 'drama' later on.
My own personal opinion is that far too many watch too much TV and take their Q's from bad shows; people...couples rarely ever really speak to one another; they speak at each other if something is bothering them. The symptoms are numerous and unnecessarily complicated. Perhaps the best overall remedy for domestic 'situations' is to just agree to split and go their own way, cutting off the needless performances of mutual recriminations and escalating competition for an Oscar for another over-rated nasty argument, dramatically labeled as a 'dramatic performance; they are not in a movie or cheap, tawdry TV show.

thing is... even though we both agree to not babysit a grown man... he will never be just what you want. By far. He will have things that you may not think you could or would deal with...but when you deeply love someone, you can't help but give them every chance you can. No matter what it is sometimes. I'm not trying to educate you. JMO
I think maybe it was my children that taught me you can't walk away from someone you truly love...you can't just walk away from your kids...you don't have the option when you have children that are difficult. So I guess I see men the same. It takes a lot to make me walk away. I don't do it at the drop of a hat. To me, when I'm truly in love, to walk away wouldn't feel much better unless my partner was a complete mess in everything. So maybe I need an opinion that is at least thinking of themselves in a real relationship that has the time and energy to put into it.

It's not whether I understand it or not, it's whether I'll put up with it. No.

I appreciate your opinion and I don't think you are trying to educate me. After all; isn't that what these forums are about is to express our opinions? We don't have to agree with each other to respect the other's opinion and I do respect yours. I have never had kids but I do teach kids from 9 to 12 and to be honest with you I have seen more maturity in these cadets than the men I have dated. Don't get me wrong; I can and will deal with a lot but I also have to think about my health. I am not a young woman anymore and someone with a lot of drama can put a lot of stress on you; mainly your heart. I have no wish to end up in a hospital or even dead because someone's drama has stressed me out. I deal with enough daily stress that I don't need the stress of drama weighing me down even more. There are things to get upset about and I certainly understand it but when a person flies off the handle about every little thing; love or not; I will walk. I just had an incident last night where someone tried to break in my home while I was out. Fortunately; my alarm worked and cops were there. My friend was very upset for me and I had to take the time to calm him down. A break in to me isn't anything to get upset about but my friend was very upset but I didn't just brush him off. I took time to talk to him and explain that I was okay and that I felt perfectly safe. So, the way he acted may have been a bit dramatic for me but to him it wasn't and I took the time to listen, reassure him, and calm him down.

As for my personal life; I have no desire to be coupled up with any guy but will absolutely welcome any man as a friend to me. There are more important things in life than being in a romantic relationship. My friend that I described in the paragraph above cares for me and loves me as a friend. I am blessed to have friends like that in my life and also feel very blessed with the friends I have on Mingles which is the only reason I stay here.

I don't like most other kinds of drama too.
I would rather not be around drama queens and kings.

I don't like being around people who always have and create drama in their lives and who think the entire world revolves around them and their petty problems.

Their lives are living soap operas.

Get away from me...

When it comes to Drama...I just like to watch.

I hear you Navygirl!

My last Husband was a drama King. Most drama queens and kings are actors for the most part. To them, life is like being on a stage and they are the actors. They try to get other people involved with their drama.

Even the drama of death gets carried to the extreme. When someone dies, there is nothing you can do about it. Accept the facts, tend to business, bury the dead and get on with your life.

I hate when people wale and whine about the deaths of people they didn't even know, like people who died in the 9-11 attack, or at Sandy Hook.

I hate it even more when they use the tides of emotion (mostly other people's) to further their causes, whatever those are. Most of those people don't really give a rats rear about the victims, they just use them as a shield from the criticism they deserve for pushing their agenda, by saying things like "in respect for the families of the victims....how dare you question the authorities or the facts as presented.

They can just go blow it out there rear.

That felt better.

If you're being picky.
