Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I came across this and thought perhaps some of the ladies might like it....
"Here's to the men we love, Here's to the men that love us, Since the men that we love, aren't the men that love us ... screw the men... here's to us."
By the way, I was sitting at the local watering hole the other night and heard an interesting discussion going on close by. Three men, I'd say late 30s, were bemoaning their break-ups and divorces. One guy was definitely the ring leader. He said they all belonged to the "Screwed Over Club" and went on a long rant about what he would never do again as it concerned women. After about 20 minutes, I realized he was trying to sell his buddies on the concept of never marrying again. Yawn. Anyway, I mention this because very large portions of this 'conversation' could have been verbatim edits from the pages of DS Breakups & Divorces, only it was from the other team (men). Their complaints and grievances were nearly identical to those I read here, only usually from the XX chromosome camp. I realized my own cultural biases here, as I found it positively whiny when I heard this man going on and on about nearly the exact same subject matter that I routinely read here posted by women. I seem to read the frustrations expressed by women about love gone bad with their ex's with a (mostly) sympathetic response. Those same words uttered by this pack of grizzlies just hit me in an entirely different way. I just kind of wanted to smack them and tell them to stop their bitching. "Be a man about it" or something? Anyway, they enjoyed a long evening of women bashing that I found rather undignified. I was also quite sure they were all their hoping to pick up women. Damn liars. :)
Do we need a National Romantic Amnesty Day to forgive everyone for all of their relationship transgressions? We probably need that at least once a month.
Off to cause trouble for society.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
They didn't strike me as the "blogging" types.

I was teasing about the "liars" comment. I don't begrudge anyone their right to seek companionship - however tortured a process that might be.
zzzzz:
I can't deal with your until you change your avatar from the leader of the Borg colony. Too creepy. Follow my lead and consider something less "Dominatrix In Hell". And I'm sure it was both ego and the other, whatever the 'other' might be.
So what are you saying, Mario? We're a nation of whiners?!? Geez, complaining about their men is a favorite pastime for women. What are we going to do if we can't bond over that? You're taking all the fun out of life.
You are of course correct. I don't mean to give whining a bad name. "I complain, therefore I am."
It's what separates us from the rest of the animals. Except for the weasel. :)
I will never be the one to take all the fun out of life. That is for married people. Oops....did I post that out loud.
By all means, gather ye together, perfect the art of annihilating the male character, and have fun with it. We have earned it many times over. Just try to hold on to an ounce of pity for us. "We know not what we do, Lord". Or something like that.
We're only reasonable on our death beds. I have no defense for us at all. We can only beg for mercy.
How was that? :)
Goin' for the pity vote.
Hats off to ya.
WHY MEN PEE STANDING UP...
God was just about done crEating humans, but he had two parts left over. He couldnt decide between Adam and Eve so he thought he might just as well ask them.
He told them that one of the things he had left was a thing that would allow the owner to pee standing up.
Its a very a handy thing and I was wondering if either of you had a preference for it?
Well, Adam jumped up and down and begged, Oh, please give that to me! It seemed just the thing a man should have. Please, please give it to me! On and on he went like an excited little boy.
Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted it so bad, he could have it. So God gave Adam the thing that allowed him to pee standing up.
Adam was so excited that he starting whizzing all over the place, first on the side of a rock, then he wrote his name in the sand, and then he tried to see if he could hit a tree stump 10 feet away laughing with delight all the while.
God and Eve watched with amusement and then God said to Eve. Well I guess youre kinda stuck the last thing I have left. Whats it called? said Eve
BRAINS, said God
I think this says it all plus it ties into the whole bar scenario
