I'm crap at posting
I've had the worst sinus infection ever, even missed almost a week of work thanks to it...and I've had two moms staying at the apt w/hubs and I... is that enough excuse?
I got this in a forwarded email and I have some friends who could take this to heart. Also, reading it reminds me just how wonderful of a Real Man that I married.

>
>6. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

>7. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
>
>8. Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but don't let faith make you stupid. God does things decent and in order.

>
>16. Know when to cut the cord, don't be strung along
>
>17. Don't fall for the "I'm confused role". Remove yourself from the situation to let him figure things out (but don't wait for him, move on).
>
>18. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not just mom).
>
>19. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
>
>20. Actions speak louder than words.
>
>21. Never let a man define who you are.
>
>22. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

>
>24. Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of the #1 person in your life.
>
>25. Love is a verb.
>
>26. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone unavailable-available, someone ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-loving.

>31. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary..
>
>32. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.
>
>33. When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the actions.

>
>36. When it's time to let go; let go.

>37. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
>
>38. Never believe a man that tells u he want to be with you, while he's with someone else, - if he wanted to be with you, he would make it happen more sooner than later.
>
>39. Don't be a man's door mat , make him open the door for you, because a real man would do this on his own.
>
>40. There is someone out there worthy to be in your life, let out the trash so he can come in.
