I think every guy (young or old) should read the article/story above.
The following paragraph is an extract from said piece... something to consider for your own lives - from a reformed hottie with "entitlement" syndrome.
"We visited the funeral home, then collected the possessions left in the car that Scott had abandoned the afternoon of his death – a painful window into who he had become since our split. The dreamer who had promised me a life of travel and excitement in my 20s had never grown up and accepted realities, as evidenced by pictures of a tropical island and a silver sports car taped to the dashboard."
Surprisingly, nobody caught this.
I'm not a very good writer so my rhetoric on this would be deemed malnourishing to the soul, but to somebody who can sum up the above and include their conclusive thoughts on how the aforementioned paragraph is the culprit to the severance of couple in reference and how a suicide could have been prevented.
But i did want to spare my own forethoughts on this topic regarding heartless/selfish wenches and their quest to fulfil their own lives and creating pathway of destruction for any man that chooses to give his heart, soul and life for her:
At first, I was under the impression that she had resentments because of something like infidelity, money/gambling, etc.
But she gave him the boot because he didn’t live up to her expectations – and that’s what I’m afraid of because I hype the shiit out of myself to my current fling and if I don’t live up to them; she’ll leave me breaigh (I made a reference to the matrix pills over the weekend, as an example of how fun I am and “you ain’t seented nothing yet!” approach. She says that I’m already showing her a great time and that she, “Cannot see what else I can do since I do so much already!”).
When I come across scenarios similar to the ones Reincar posted, it definitely gives you a greater perspective on adult relationships and what to expect/anticipate when you’re married. Women always require that feeling of excitement, the entitlement of being constantly gratified to justify their ho-hum work weeks (this is where a lot of adultery is manifested).
As men, we’re so busy trying to hold a family together, bettering ourselves and when that proverbial fuel runs out – what will happen next? Yes, I understand that a woman who’s down for you should be with you when you’re down – but it takes two, and women ought to understand that.
I am far from being in my best form (well, perhaps maturistically and financially), and always striving to improve myself in other facets of live – which is a great thing).
But if i keep selling here these dreams and only to break them later, will she still be around when i have nothing?
That statistics are against me, and also considering that she's a woman of caucasian descent (she's mixed with a bunch of cac stuff, but predominantly italian)... i know, unfortunately, that my guard must be held and held extremely high because as charming, intelligent, ambitious, nurturing, joke-fathoming and beautiful as she is (inside/out)... i will never know how long this "facade" will last before she does some "Love and Hiphop-esque" ratchetness.
It's a constant struggle, fam.
But as men, it is our civil duty to always keep women on their toes to prevent similar circumstances from happening to us.
With the vast survey of knowledge and "GEMS" as presented to you here by Coli All-Stars (which is so appropriate going into Houston this weekend)... i need to ask of you for a favor and just...
DO YOU!!! (that essentially entails keeping you first, holding on to your dreams and desires and if you in a relationship, make sure she loves you more than you love her; bottom fukkin' line, that's how you keep 'em in check).
As much as i am in love with this woman right now, i don't want to lose sight of the bigger picture; losing everything i worked so hard for (the little i do have) only to be "victimized" by the flipflop, unloyal, eye-wandering, conniving/deceitful mentality of the contemporary mademoiselle.
