I have also been that way in relationships. I always felt like the ‘Better’ person, I still To This Day find ways to better myself either physically or mentally.

My grandmother once told me, “Divorce was never an option…murder maybe, but not divorce”. Why are you so against divorce? I am very much against it, but if he has no intention of making things better, it is a lost cause. In your mom’s case, I am sure your dad was willing to work through those hard times. You can’t drag him there.

Confident man, potential mate, committed or not, I have only one question.

Can you give my dog a bath?!

Hi, Bobbi –

You make some valid points. Only recently have I realized how important it is to allow men to assist us. We set the precedence in our relationships in very small ways. Something as simple as walking a little slower, when approaching a door, will allow a man to open the door for you. Chivalry is not dead, we are surrounded by more gentlemen than we think.

As you’ve stated, if we don’t graciously accept their assistance, men will absolutely find a woman that is more willing to accept. And, these women aren’t as hard to find as one might think.

Great point, thinking “commitment” too early in a relationship can put an unnecessary burden on both people.

I like how you make the distinction between someone you are dating versus a potential husband. I think a lot of us make the mistake of assuming that the men we meet are potential husbands. It’s ok to date and take advantage of those “perks” that go along with having a man around without thinking about committment. If we understand that, then we might be a little less likely to prove to him how independent we are. It can just be our little secret.

Thanks for sharing this.

Hi Sabrina –
So glad we found each other’s blogs! Your advice is really good and so important. Men love to give and to help women…and we need to learn to accept graciously. If we don’t, our man will stop offering and find a woman who does let him contribute to her life. And, like you said: it’s nice to get help with the challenges of life.
I just posted a discussion of this on my Facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/DateLikeaGrownup . I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this.
