In my world, whether you are a single mom, or not, from an abusive marriage history, or not, going on 1 date a month, or 30 dates a month, none of it matters

"I have found that some women with a history of bad, abusive relationships feel a need to do what they call "standing up for themselves" in every single circumstance, even minor ones. So if that's what helps those women cope, good - I'm just pointing out that it probably comes across as angry and bitter to most men."

And see? I have found that some women from bad abusive relationships then shrink away from sticking up for themselves, dont point out when someone has stepped on their toes because it used to cause such eruptions, and generally avoid confrontation altogether - and this to me, makes them appear weak, injured and lost.

I dont see her schooling him. I see her being a straightshooter and still wishing him well. She turned around and made other plans in a split second, so I think it is safe to say she was annoyed about booking the sitter. I would have been too. I think a lot of us would be on here.

I think it may be wise for you to go back and read the original post here.

I've never been in an abusive relationship and I don't see an issue with telling someone how to treat another person.

..........and in my many years on message boards I have noticed that no good can come off lurkers who pop in to criticise - they must not have heard of "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it".

Taye, you're more than welcome to voice your opinion on the situation, but you might get a better audience if you took a moment to introduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself.

I'm sure the law professor doesn't care that one woman freaked because he didn't confirm plans in time.

as far as I can tell, it's a group encouraging each other to be unnecessarily blunt and hostile to men.
