Disrespecting Women

OK OK. Just what actions does a man take to disrespect a woman. I'm doing my post relationship homework and I can't seem to find much of that on the web. I must be very naive. Although I believe that I do treat women well, apparently I use my tongue as a sword to disrespect women. I can recall two instances with C where I unknowingly did this (and trust me, she made sure I knew it!! - and I learned), but apparently, I did it many more times.

Hmmm. More research required.

Sad

Get out your violin . . .

. . . I decided last night to part with my girlfriend of about 7 months. This decision was not an easy one, nor was it decided in haste. I care for her immensely, but something was just not clicking for me. Unfortunate because she liked me very much.

Since I have been in few relationships, I never would have realized going through this process would be so sad and painful. This coming from someone with a caring and sympathetic heart.

At this point, the house feels empty even though she only came over a few times. I mostly went over to her place for various reasons. My birthday is around the corner and she actively spoke about plans for that day. There goes that surprise. And there goes the trip to Kansas to visit her older daughter.

What did she have going for her? Outgoing, smiling almost constantly, very caring, good cook, active, and manages money well. On the negative side . . . I'll leave that open ended. I'll simply say it was a number of things that I could not specifically put my finger on.

It is amazing that once you open your lips, you all of a sudden start to ponder what kind of mistake you are making - even though you think you gave that plenty of consideration in making your decision to part.

To C, if you should ever read this, know that I do care for you and know the decision to part was not an easy one. You will make a wonderful wife one day.
