I can relate to how you feel in the sense - I don't like the feeling of 'fighting' for a man. I can't stand the way the women all fight for the guy on the Bachelor Show - it's so nauseating. If I have to fight to keep a man then I'd rather let him go. This doesn't mean I won't try to keep the relationship strong and do my part - it's just the moment I sense another prospect's in the picture - I lose interest I guess.
Shangrala  - I think it's a good topic so don't be discouraged, I'm the only one responding. Sometimes it takes a while for a thread to start moving. I would like to hear other opinions though - so please do jump in. I can't be the only one with an opinion. |

I think I threw in the "nevermind" not because there were few replies on here, (I've had many threads without any before...lol), but because after reading it again, I was almost thrown back for even mentioning something which seems to place me so vulnerable, (I guess?).
Hard enough to even think that I'm actually jealous, let alone splash the admission that I am on here for all to see, as well...lmao.
Like you, I'd much rather step back if I ever had to confront a "battle of the best" regarding a man. Though, I think my surrender of such confrontation stems from my fear of the forced loss, and thus great heartache, (I'm NO good when it comes to pain, especially heartache), so I abandon it before it abandons me, it suppose.
Thankies again...
