Room for Improvement August 20, 2008

Yesterday I posted about the potential who compared me to his ex-girlfriend in a particular scenario. I told you all that it upset me and I abruptly ended the call. Most of you assumed that is the last of said potential.
Babs is not in the habit of letting good men get away all willy nilly!
Sure he made an error. Sure it hurt my feelings. But that doesn’t mean he has been disqualified. If I disqualified every man the first time they did/said something I didn’t like I’d surely remain single for the rest of my days.
This was his first error. I let him know I was upset. I’m hoping it won’t happen again. Besides, I’ll bet I’ve said/done something he probably didn’t like. In fact, I’m sure of it. We all have room for improvement.
Have any of you had a mate do/say something early in the relationship that almost made you walk away but instead you stuck around? Are you glad you did? Or do you regret not getting out earlier?
Lmao…you know I want to highlight the Omelette-Poop guy. But I’m happy I walked away…briskly.
The ex said all sorts of things that should’ve been red-flags regarding his emotional statusin the beginning. A lot of what he said was reflective of the fact that he was healing from his previous relationships and I gave him space & patience. I can’t say I regret staying because I learned a lot; however, taking what I learned, if I heard similar things in the future…I wouldn’t stay around.
A potential what?
EV-ER-Y single day my sweatheart says something that makes me want to kick him in the back of his head! Yet I still love him. But, I do curse him out occasionally.
We were apart for over 20 years before now. And even though my foot is twitching at this very moment to drop kick him, I’m glad we found each other again. I guess we are destined to be together or either we are both so dysfunctional we can only be with each other.
On second thought don’t use us as an example.
Yeah when he said (an he was dead serious) he wanted to marry someone who looked like Thandie Newton. Here I was with my natural hair in twists and dark chocolate skin, weighing 180 EASY. I didn’t stand a chance. LOL
I stayed but the regret is going away slowly.
