GOOD GUY

You say
You're a good guy




So I'm asking, please,
Don't.

Don't bore me with lies 
About what you see in my eyes. 
Don't tell me I'm pretty, gorgeous, or fine. 

First I don't care 
and second words, like those, 
Aren't worth a dime.

Instead,
Take NO for an answer,
THE FIRST TIME!

Say I'm strong, witty, or wise.
Ask and admire what I've done with my life.

Set fire to my brain
To ignite the fire in my veins

Stimulate me. 
Don't educate me.
Respect me,
Don't protect me!

Infantilizing,
Minimizing,
Sexualizing,
Objectifying.
Excusing,

Instead of apologizing

AFTER YOU ASSAULT ME!



Weary

begging

YOU

to....... hear.......  me....... 


BUT


You don't.


You don't see ME
you see my body.
You don't know ME
You know the image on your screen.
A hollow caricature of your dreams.

To you, I'm meek and mild. 
Just a thing.

My opinions,
Don't matter.

Instead,
You want me to think what you think.

You yell and scream.
Until I'm flattened in submission.

I try to be friends
but you don't listen.

I try to forgive
but you continue 
hammering, yammering and clamoring
to get your way.

You're right.
I'm wrong.
You say.

"Don't." I squeak again

before

THE END

Now,
I ignore your calls,
 And texts,
Ignore it all. 

Because
You're a good guy.

 You SAY.

The Wonders Of Finding A CF Partner

Finally dating a man who is childfree. Before this I'd only dated one other who was childfree but that relationship didn't last long. I now get why the childfree community is all about only dating other childfree people. I feel truly accepted by my significant other. I get the whole being on the same page thing. It isn't just being child free though, we're both non religious, highly into psychology and self development, and good with money. However the childfree aspect specifically has brought to light many areas of fulfillment my previous relationships were missing. I feel secure in the relationship at a level I never have. Once my husband left for another woman because he knocked her up... I didn't feel like I was enough. In this relationship, I feel powerful. I don't question my choices, i.e. wondering how much I should sacrifice to make my partner happy and what compromises I should make. I feel accepted as a woman. He doesn't question if I have maternal...

No Greater Love

In my marriage, I grew cold and distant, I was dark emptiness taking up a small space. When the marriage inevitably ended, I was left wondering if I was capable of love at all. Wondering if my coldness led to the death of something great for many people. Since then I've tried a few tepid attempts at love, with each trial showing me new errors. People say, "You just haven't met the right person yet," but that isn't true. Relationships fail not because there is some mystical magical right person out there for each of us but rather because we are human and being human means failing sometimes. (Of course, just because there is no "right one" that doesn't mean there aren't wrong ones. There are after all a few truly terrible people mucking about in the world but these are the exceptions, not the rule.) I am currently a failure at relationships, but with each failure, I learn and grow, and eventually, I will be a fantastic success at one relati...
