    Because I didn't keep accepting the abuse....put downs... triangulation.. manipulation...aggravation...I am too masculine.

    • @tarawiselove
      @tarawiselove Рік тому +21

      And he was correct. He equated masculinity with boundaries, and this is right. Unfortunately for him, he confused femininity with unlimited willingness to be badgered. We all have masculine and feminine traits and tendencies. Your feminine stops where your masculine begins and vice versa. Once your limit for receiving (feminine) was reached, the hard stop for abusive treatment was the boundary (masculine). Embrace both and master these forces within you, and you will be safer and wiser moving forward. Never let your feminine side be compromised again.

      Facts I come from a toxic family and was raised by a narcissistic man,there was no boundaries he wouldn't cross and the women never stepped in,now I'm on a healing journey from all the trauma and I realize I attracted males like him, I've been single for 10yrs now and happier than I ever been I'm at peace on my journey

    Women need to stop dating one guy at a time, stop letting other guys shame you for having options. That's exactly how dudes never fall short of meeting good women and having options, they always keep their options opened. The more options women have, the more it increases your chances of actually meeting good men.

    • @Mental_Alchemist
      @Mental_Alchemist Рік тому

      That strategy could work if you aren't looking for anything serious. It's a catch-22.
      Many men will 'entertain' you if we know that you're dating other men, but it's highly unlikely that he'll see you as someone he'd want to "settle down" with.
      When I hear that a woman is dating multiple men, I assume that she's probably sleeping with at least some of them.
      I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot and actually tell her my assumption. But if she's sexy and cool, Imma play the game so I can hit, but won't take her seriously as an option for wifey.
      I could see her as a cool person ... But probably for the streets, so I treat her accordingly.
      And No it's not even a competition. She can off and marry one of those guys tomorrow, and Id just congratulate her, while thinking to myself.... "good luck to that guy...couldn't be me though" 😂

    You're totally right Ace!!! I've invested TOO MUCH of my valuable time, energy & effort to several men thus far and they all have managed to ignore, disrespect, dismiss, neglect and give me cold vibes back in return 🤔🤨! I have always given brown/dark skin men the benefit of the doubt, but they always ei d up reconfirming my suspicion of their inappropriate agenda towards me. Too many men treat good women like another name on their options list, a 3rd/5th wheel, a wing woman, side piece, standby chick, 2nd fiddle, or his just in case. Ace, why are grown men in their 40's, 50's, & 60's still playing games like they're still 20 something 🤔🤨? Why do they flirt with women they don't like and then go ice cold to her after she catches REAL feelings for him?

    • @islandgirlxx3465

      Cause they want their cake and eat it too. They are broken man with no integrity nor morals. Cause if they had integrity, they would leave a woman alone if they know damn well that they have no serious intentions with her. But instead they lead her on to use and abuse.
      Keep your eyes wide open when dating a guy. Lead with your head and not your heart. Don't ignore the red flags in the beginning. Make sure he meets your needs. Always use discernment.

I honestly needed your help with my healing mentally, emotionally, etc. I love your transparency you dropped a lot of Good Gems for every woman who is watching this to Raise our standards, create boundaries, and never settle. Stop giving a man a chance all because he's attractive but he doesn't fit your standard. Looks alone just like money alone is not enough to sustain a healthy relationship Make sure he's making sacrifices first if he's a leader. Great points you touched I'm soooo grateful for you

    Take as much time as you need to heal from the last relationship. Heal until you are whole! Then, if you choose to do so begin to
    look for an equal, not a project. You're looking for someone who takes care of themselves and has the capacity to take care of you too. Someone on your level that you can respect and vice versa. Don't fall in love with potential.
    My table is SET and yours should be as well. You got to bring something to my table besides a fork and knife!
    When you are confident in what you bring to the table, you don't have to beg and chase anyone to sit down and eat!
    What category do they belong in? Partner, project, parasite or pond? Putting people in the wrong category will mess your life up! Pain prevention is tied to people being properly placed in your life y'all!! A tolerable level of permanent unhappiness just won't work!!
