I wanted to apologize to everyone about the "hatred of men" post. It was very sexist and unfair of me to say those things. I am deeply sorry about what I said, and I realize my mistake. Thank you for being assertive and telling me that I was being unfair. Again, I apologize for the things I said.

Personally, I don't see why you have to apologize. Those were your feelings at the time. You were expressing them. So many of us will come on here and post about feelings we have and most of the time, we find several people that are sympathetic to us.

You weren't directing your feelings to any one person, so I don't think it needed to be taken personally.

thanks. I felt the need to apologize because I offended people with my comment and I just want them to know that I'm sorry.

It is OK cat_eye... and welcome to the forums here.

I want to make clear that it is OK to discuss your problems with men here, that is what this place is about. The language in your post did upset some people because it was a blanket statement about men, obviously you needed to vent.

I didn't want you to think that you could not bring up the subject at all here... if talking about it and the reasons behind it will help you.

I want to apologize too. Whether some people think it's necessary or not, it can be helpful. I was way out of line with the things I said. There was a hundred different ways I could have told you what I was feeling without being rude and insensitive. I recognized that something was hurting you, and instead of trying to be supportive of you, I was only concerned about the way I let it make me feel. I'm truly sorry for what you've been thru, and i hope you'll stay here and get the support you need. It's a wonderful place for that.

I would appreciate it if we could put this all behind us, and maybe someday we can be friends? Not all of us are bad guys, you'll find some very caring and supportive ones here.

Again, welcome to the forums, I'm glad you found us!

I can vouch for bp... in the time that I have been here he has shown himself to be friendly, gentlemanly, supportive, and helpful.

I would like to think that I am "one of the good ones" too.

Well, in an effort to change the foot that's currently in my mouth...

I also don't think you have anything to apologize for... and am wondering why they all pounced upon you like them did... must be the moon lately I think.

In fact, I admire your factual admission. Many of the members here "hate" men or women they just haven't got the wherewithal to put it in writing like you do... but you sure can read it between the lines in their posts. And when they say it in other words, it is gently nudged into the right direction.

I guess your directness caused others to address you likewise: directly.

LOL you even got under DJs skin... I won't elaborate further.

Nah, you are being quite CIVIL for apologizing, but honestly is a good thing, at least to me.

And, we usually do speak in generalities here. (which is what you did)... so, go figure!
