@skado You don't know if she is with you because she is afraid of being alone. When I spoke about this it pertains to women who do things that goes against their better judgement because they are coerced into it. No nobody said they were ok with coercion but then nobody else mentioned it at all. I think most people would not be ok with it except psychopaths, sociopaths and very selfish hounds.

Jolanta replies on Nov 22, 2018:

Gosh, I feel sorry for you. You know there are no laws that says that we should love our siblings or parents. Sometimes or often they are not nice people and we have to let them go and yes I know that we will feel lonely and abandoned but it is much bette to be on your own and be at peace then be with someone because we are related to them and so we should be "together and love each other. My mother was like your brother and I am an only child. I could do nothing right, if I said it was a sunny day she would tell me that I should stop whining that the sun was shinning and if I said it was raining then I was whining about that too. It took me many years to understand that I would never make her happy and that I did not have to live my life the way she wanted me to, or even love her. How can one lone someone when one only gets criticised all the time, no matter what. In the end I had to let her get out of my life for me to be happy and have some peace. I wish it would have been different but it was not. I now am an extremely happy person with friends who do appreciate and love me.

I know of people that are very lonely and wonder why they do not have friends/a relationship but they themselves are "bad" friends or boyfriend/girlfriends. Some of them you can help by pointing out their shortfalls as human beings and they change others get angry and defensive and stay the same. This is both men and women. If someone criticises you don't get mad, look and listen to what they are saying. Is it true or not and then act accordingly.

My family goes through so many napkins! Does anybody have a recommendation for high quality cloth ...

Jolanta comments on Nov 20, 2018:

No, how about you give each person a napkin for the week. That one has to last all week. See how they like those apples.

@celticagent You can always send them to clean their hands and faces straight after dinner/lunch/breakfast. Make it a rule.

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling.

Jolanta comments on Nov 21, 2018:

Funny, but unfortunately this is how women often feel in a marriage, and when they leave the husband is so surprised because according to him everything was just perfect.

Jolanta replies on Nov 21, 2018:

@Killtheskyfairy Unfortunately many people both men and women hope that it will blow over, stay way too long or don't try to do anything about the situation.

Jolanta replies on Nov 21, 2018:

@Simon1, @dahermit I think women have changed and unfortunately men are left behind. They have lost their "hunter gatherer" reason due to women now being able to earn their own money. They don't understand that we can be equal yet different. When something is lacking in a relationship most women try to fix it in different ways but men just bury their heads in the sand and pretend that nothing is happening. I am not blaming men and I feel sorry for them, it must be hell for some of them, all the things that they think a men should be is not so. I am generalising here, of course all men are not like that, some are even worse, unfortunately.

@Simon1 Well Simon, things are not what these women need or want. A new car or new dresses is not what they yearn for and men think they do that is the problem.

President Trump's Statement Gives MBS, Saudi Government a Pass in Jamal Khashoggi Death

TheMiddleWay comments on Nov 20, 2018:

No different than every other president that has valued Saudi oil over Saudi crimes. The problem isn't Trump; the problem is our dependence on Saudi oil and investments.

Jolanta replies on Nov 21, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay We actually don't know if he said or not, but saying that he stands with them publicly is not ok, no matter which president. It kind of takes me back to the second world war and Hitler.

Write your eulogy and see how it makes you feel. It gives you the "why" of your life.

joedaveblake comments on Nov 21, 2018:

Do you not think that is a bit pretentious? To write about ones self what "I" think the "Why" of my life if all about. So far its just to "spin the wheel" a little further down as i see it. Not much of a eulogy. Just lost and eventually forgotten. not much of an epitaph. Plant fertilizer is what ...

A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes.

joedaveblake comments on Nov 19, 2018:

I also thought of the Disney song, but my mind just followed the song to the next line which talks about when i am fast asleep (dreams) so most of mine are unexplainable insanity that are just crazy or pointless. I imagine a Dream in the sense of something i want to or wish to do i really don't have...

Jolanta replies on Nov 19, 2018:

Funny things with dreams, the ones that we have when we are sleeping. It is the dreams that we have when we are awake that can give us joy or not.

joedaveblake comments on Nov 19, 2018:

I have learned to stop totally right now. my life is on hold for 6 months pretty much. No , now work, only savings for basics (food, home, bills, ) cannot drive, and can barely walk. FUN! If you ever have to have major surgery, DONT, just die and get it over with because its totally boring.(joke) ...

Jolanta replies on Nov 19, 2018:

Sorry to hear about your surgery but I hope that you will mend and get back to being even better than before. Great to hear that you are positive, keep it up. Not only are your computer skills improving but think of the books you now have time to reed and all the movies you can watch and all the letters you can write to people you know, because a letter is such a joy to get, not at all like an email. I be following your recovery. Do take care and think of me when I have to get up at five in the morning so I can get to work on time.
