stressed-living-together

Q: I am a 30-year-old, single mom with four kids under 10-years-old. Despite having my first daughter when I was 18-years-old, I still graduated from college with a Bachelors of Science. Now I have a career where I make over 70,000 a year. About two years ago, while going through a rocky divorce, I met a guy that lives in my neighborhood. Although he was unemployed, on parole and living with his parents, he was very kind to me at a time when I needed it most. I never thought that our relationship would be long-term but I have really grown to love him. Now that my divorce is final, I am going through the process of buying my first home. My boyfriend is not supportive through this process and trying to buy a house is really stressful. His only contribution is occasionally babysitting. When I get home from a long day at the office, he often is standing outside talking to his friends. Then when we see each other he feels the need to fill me in on all of their baby-mama dramas. We got into an argument the other day because he did not want me to go out with a friend of mine that he feels is a bad influence. I could not help to bring up the fact that I am grown. I did curse at him and say, “Your broke-a**, can not help me pay any of my bills, so I do not care what you think.” Do you think that I was wrong?

5 Types Of Men To Avoid

A: Wrong is such a judgment, but yes you were wrong. You were wrong for letting someone like that infiltrate in the first place. He is not on your level and he knows it. These tough economic times should never offer the excuse for the fear of failure and/or just plain laziness. Unfortunately, he is caught in a cycle of poverty that is why he hangs out on the block instead of putting himself out there to be gainfully employed. All he has to offer is ignorant gossip and baby-sitting. Read the book, “A New Earth: Awakening Your Life’s Purpose.”

Wealth attracts wealth, so you can not surround yourself with ne’er-do-wells. You are telling him off and basically emasculating him because of who he is. You should never talk to anyone like that, especially your partner. In the process, you are being pulled into that mentality by cursing and screaming. You were lonely and having a rough time emotionally, so you thought that you could get in and get out– unscathed. Not so lady, now you’ re attached to him and screaming in his face in the hopes that he will change. You knew who he was when you met him. He has to want to do better then change, in that order. But that does not mean that you have to wait around to help him change. You said that you have four children and they should be your only priority. Cut him off and move on because you do not have the time nor the energy to sooth his insecure, fragile ego.

    Well this is a different type of society that we live in, roles are def. reversed in a lot of situation. You are wrong for saying that to this dude. A lot of African American males…”AND NEARLY NOT ALL–CUZ I’M ONE DA SUMBICHES DAT WASN’T…LEFT HOME AT 17, LIKE OTHERS AND TOOK OUR BLK BUTTS TO SCHOOL” have been babied by there mother’s and over glorified to the point they expect women to treat them the same way. Hahaha…but here is the catch to this, a lot of them will forever need guidance. You will be the one that have to tell him what to do, when to do and how to do. You may be successful with this, if you are not to emotional and sporadic. If he starts to feel unstable, yo’ Blk A.ss is gr.ass….you gone have a neurotic spazzzed out jail bird in yo’ brand new house, and you won’t be able to put IT OUT OF DERRR, like talking bout’ it eiiiitha’….cuz he gone be tagging dat phat A.sss of yours and you gone be split lustfully in wanting to get ride of the gorrilla or wanting to gitt smutted out…. I know this now, I done told yall befoe’…I have seen this happen too many times….This will be a long drawn out thing…Man you dammm hiding behind dude, for your own insecurities….now that the spirit is speaking to me….give that dude the phone number to a counselor, a church, and a college and tell him to BEAT IT!! Find you a nicca dats is more on your status…but first get your mind right from your past relationship. Stop using things to take your mind off of it…you need to use thgat 3-C technique as mentioned above…talk to someone, take another class to stimulate and overwhelm your mind (you won’t have time to think about your ex), go to church and maybe you will run into a good dude!! And Be Easy!!

    she was dead wrong. she knew the type of guy he was before she met him yet kept him around. now that the hurt from her divorce is gone and she is more stable now she feel the need to check him about his status. he might be a dead beat and need to mature etc. but that doesnt excuse the rude behavior. becasue again you knew he was a deadbeat from the get got.

    Something from NOTHING leave’S NOTHING? An Adult Man/Women Child can DO NOTHING but weigh you down, take-Take-TAKE & NEVER Gives. Speaking for myself! I’d rather eat the whole lobster ALONE than have the company of A Human Taker, who more than likly don’t/won’t appreciate the fact of you sharing to begin with. Anytime a grown person ALLOW’s themselves to go without and/or not have in their own lives! Here my conclusion of 50 + years of lesson(s) I’ve learned:

    I’ve learned the same dilemma can be faced, as far as I go, from men on EITHER SIDE OF THE WALL(S):

    The ones on the Physically Free side of the wall (Not Incarcerated) I got men who feel a person (ME) should not mind paying for their over-all existence, their cigarettes, car, gas, multiple cases of child-support, lawyers, traffic tickets/fines, cell phone, restitution of whatever category expense/magnitude, basically let them bleed you dry and/or make sure out of every nickel (5 cent) you have and/or you can get from some other entity he is entitled to at least 3 cent of that! He’ll hang around unless he meet’s a bigger sucker/fool he can suck more out of (of course as long as he can get away with it, he’ll flip as many at one time as he can fit in). He’ll trick off with the other person(s) he believes is THE BETTER WOMEN, he does have the feeling’s for (with that s**t he DO NOT hold her to the same standards he holds one he’s running the scam on)! But most so called better, women I know of is Prostitute/Hooker’s, like he is so his involvement with one of those will be turbulent because f**k! Somebody has got to be the sucker/fool between the two! Feelings or No Feeling Mommy and/or Daddy like the finer things in life and refused to live without them so bam there you have it Wade P, some real hot messes out here, one can get themselves into IF they are not careful! Trust & Believe I’m Careful & that’s the brother’s fight with me! HOW dare I be successful in any & every capacity & I refuse to be responsible for his f**k up’s in life & he can’t jump on for the ride! Who the F**k Do I THINK I AM???? Ruthless s**t for real & you got those all over the singles lines, internet, hanging out in most establishments looking ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE VICTIMS!

    The ones on the Side of the NOT Physically Free side of the wall (Incarcerated)You got men who feel a person should/they demand a person should send him AS MUCH $$$ as humanly possible, as much as one can send, as long as they can sent it (After-all, a b***h should know! (Never Spoken Words Most of the Time unless the Nigga is straight up ruthless & bold to begin with right out the gate) Even though it never comes out of his mouth, a b***h should know a man has need’s when he’s in Jail/Prison, so which ever, way he’s hooked up with whomever (Though Prison Pen Pal Web Site/A Hommie on the inside with him, or a hook up from somebody on the outside) they should know, to get letters from him, etc., one has to be prepared & committed to pay high phone bill’s, be prepared to do 3-way phone calls to HIS relatives, etc., or his Hommies relatives, etc., do favors for his relatives & if he has child(ren) be prepared to sponsor them, take on whatever problem, issue(s) arises which needs to be addressed (Of Course On His Behalf) be prepared to live your life, plan your life presently & depending if either you run out of resources OR he meets another person he can get more out of, longer and who’s a better prospect the rest of his duration while he’s incarcerated and the one who is the better parole option in which everything will be incarcerated right into a $solid foundation he’ll be able to front off to whomever, he feel’ he needs to impress! Of course one will have to be willing, ready & able to take responsibility for any & every bad situation/circ**stance he either left before his incarceration or he creates at random after he’s released (He won’t require your participation in any of the positive/good/lucrative things he may have available (more than likely, he’ll keep this information from you to begin with) come his way! One must be able to, “understand/accept,” what’s his IS his & what’s yours is HIS ALSO! One must remember? He loves you & If It Was Not For Him? Your life would NOT be great! Nor will you be happy based on his physical presence and over all existence! One should feel blessed! Note: The illusion one will experience depends on the dude’s length of incarceration? If he has 3 months, 3 years, 3 decades? That decides the over-all journey which is be traveled! WARNING: If the interested party on the outside is really not the inmate/Playas, behind the walls Type/Sex, etc., he’ll play on the strength of what the f**k else he got to do but time anyway? He & multiple Co-harts/ fellow Inmate(s) will get together & form a real bond/friendship as they decide plan’s of action and as $$$ & all that comes with the illusion of a relationship/illusion he’s spilling, is shared by all the parties involved in the over-all scam!
    a). The Inmate may not know how to read/write to begin with
    b). The Inmate may post another man’s picture on the Net pretending to be another
    c). The sucker (The Inmate) is such a sucker himself, other’s are playing his ass, while they prod him to play another, his dumb ass, being the last to benefit off the very scam he started off
    combination(s) of the above a, b, c are always possibilities!!!???

    Positive, Independent, decent, self sufficent PEOPLE! The Brothers’ Has Taught this B****ch Well!
