Is it my ex-liberal-ness coming out that I really don't like listening to men talk about this kind of crap?
I don't think it is. I've avoided a lot of these threads because so often people on here make you feel ashamed if you didn't breastfeed or make me feel ashamed that my daughter didn't breastfeed longer than six weeks.
It's the same reason I avoid the Roe V Wade threads. I have never had an abortion, and I am pro life but I know some people who did because of bad life circumstances drug addiction, abusive relationships. I won't go into the details but I see their pain.
I see men on here saying how women who had abortions deserve the chair, woodchipper, and whatnot. Not everyone who has had one is an evil person, not every mom who has not breastfed is a terrible mom.
Roe V Wade is just the start there needs to be affordable or free birth control for women who can't afford it. I could go on, but that's enough for now.
I know, my friend used to tell me how her husband would slam on the brakes in the car and if she didn't hold the children good enough he would beat the shit out of her, this was before car seat laws. Also if I remember right he used to hit her stomach so she would lose the baby.
When my daughter was with my granddaughter's dad he would also beat the shit out of her when I was at work it's hard and it's scary. One of her boyfriends used to threaten to burn the house down while I was in it.
I guess that's why I'm still single at 56, I just don't trust men, or people in general any more. They seem nice until you let them get close to you. I don't hate men, I want to find love but I think I'm just so broken it won't happen, and that's ok.
Yes my ex never laid a hand on me it was verbal and emotional abuse, and thankfully I had my own place and a good paying job, not everyone is so fortunate.
My last longterm wanted me to move in with him, and even talked marriage, it ended when I moved out of my apartment into a house with my daughter. He realized I wasn't giving up my independence. I don't think he would have hurt me, but we just had no chemistry, and I won't be in a relationship just to be in a relationship.
