		<description>tmichelle - The "blame game" as you put is unfortunately a necessary evil.  You can't move forward until you identify the broken spoke.  When someone messes up the "TPS Reports" (check out the movie "Office Space") at the gig you know damn well the upper management will be on a witch hunt to find out how f'ed up...this is also true in relationships.  The lady was all in a tizzy and had her shovel ready to dump shit on her husband with absolutely no intentions to examine herself.  Everybody wants to be the angel but nobody wants to take the "L".  What should happen now is a decision needs to be made whether to move forward or bow out.  

alisha - Yeah, she is a real nut job.  Jesus take the wheel!

Helen - What up Fisk fam!  LOL....You are silly!</description>

		<description>Chel - You'd be surprised at the amount of folks this post passed right over.  Most of the comments I got were just indulging in the blame game.....I wanted to let women know what it really means for a man to really want you.</description>

		<description>I'm late posting here, but I couldn't agree with what's written here more!!  My husband and I met in mid January 2007 and were married in early June 2007 ! Yep, that's five and a half months and we are now happily going into our 2nd year of marriage. On the flip side of this I dated the same guy on/off for 8 years and we were engaged, but never married. My husband always laughs and says...THANK GOODNESS!!!  If I'd married my ex I don't know where I'd be or what I'd be doing. I have some clue though...divorced with a huge payment, at least one child, and bitter as heck in my BIG house!  

My husband definitely picked me and I say this because I was 31. He was 37 when we met and had been alone for 5 years.  It's a wonderful feeling for a woman to know that your husband knew he loved and wanted to marry you (without having  slept or lived with him) first too. Our marriage is a source of  pride and joy on both sides of our family because of this fact. I say if after a couple of years of dating a couple isn't married...women need to move on and cut their losses! Life is too short for BS and drama!  My mother has a  saying "If one won't then another one will!"</description>

		<description>MadP - I guess it would but dang, it's hard being patient which is the BEAST a woman has to wrestle with especially if she's in her mid 30's. Yeah, that clock be ticking louder than a mutha LOL! But of course you're right, it's better when you're chosen rather than manipulation, threats etc. But can yall speed it up just a tad bit???? I'm just saying....</description>

		<description>alisha9 - Thanks Lady!

tmichelle - I agree with you wholeheartedly....I dated my wife for less then a year before I "chose" her but that's only because I was in a place in my life were I was tired of the random ass and wanted something more.  When your with a brotha you have to first figure what stage of the "game" he's at.  If he's still on trick off mode it's best you kick rocks.  But what if the dude has all the qualities you desire but he just ain't ready to take that leap?  Wouldn't be best to old on a little longer? I think bouncing too quick maybe even more detrimental.</description>
