We are not all good judges of people and characters (as much as we'd like to be) so it makes no sense to stay around in a situation that benefits no one.Shionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492147249152256505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-12312604533075524172009-10-07T07:31:16.846-07:002009-10-07T07:31:16.846-07:00I tried to comment a couple days ago, but for some...I tried to comment a couple days ago, but for some reason my computer wouldn't let me. <br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to say that I like you, when we agree and when we disagree. And I know there are many others out there that feel the same. <br /><br />I don't understand how someone could pass judgement on you and defend your ex. Sounds like someone just trying to stir things up.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397705917751266966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-14927108965087653522009-10-06T18:12:50.918-07:002009-10-06T18:12:50.918-07:00Ooooooh, am I ever feeling it.

You have to get up close to someone, get to know them and get past that barrier that screams "Not OK" "Not Good" "Not Good Enough" to start changing your viewpoint about single moms or anything else in life. A lot of people need a lot of exposure to get there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-16560993528210525752009-10-05T19:10:10.469-07:002009-10-05T19:10:10.469-07:00Clearly your wrote this post with a specific incid...Clearly your wrote this post with a specific incident/person in mind, which I don't know the specifics of. But in general, people want to make you feel what they are feeling. I find that those that are happy in the marriages have nothing to say about me and my single status. It is those that are unhappy, that wish they had the guts to leave an abusive, whether emotional, financial, or physical, relationship, that have comments. Misery loves company, and boy will they do anything to get that company. I suggest ignoring these types of critique (I know its hard, I erupt regularly) and only entertain constructive criticism. I'm sorry that you are going through whatever it is, but keep plugging along and it will get better. It always does!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717891160388620268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-6298459628759741652009-10-05T14:46:17.526-07:002009-10-05T14:46:17.526-07:00The people who think they know the most, cry the l...The people who think they know the most, cry the loudest "but it doesn't apply to me" when their sh*t hits the fan!

The commenter was a PF blogger I read regularly, and he basically said that anyone who gets a divorce is a quitter. I don't read his stuff anymore. <br /><br />I think you make exactly the right point here- no one else can tell you how you should feel about YOUR situation. When you blog, it's because you want to write and share and be in a community. Not because you've graciously decided to offer up your life choices and feelings to the judgment of others. <br /><br />And frankly, it's the internet. If someone doesn't like how you live your life, they can stop reading at any time.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960566071671771579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-244139281430305452009-10-05T12:49:38.393-07:002009-10-05T12:49:38.393-07:00I don't really censor comments either - opinio...I don't really censor comments either - opinions are great, but I have deleted a few comments that were just spewing hatred about hating a certain group of people, with no valid commentary to add to the discussion. <br />I think bloggers have a right to delete comments that have no real value and are in truth, just hate-mongering. <br />Oh - and the advertisements that are commented should be deleted because they are sooooo obnoxious!Lifeofkaylenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470854343779969623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-2203039230822514912009-10-05T11:30:06.886-07:002009-10-05T11:30:06.886-07:00Let's see, there's a great saying about op...Let's see, there's a great saying about opinions that I think rings especially true when it comes to parenting and marriage. Those people who think that someone should stay in the marriage, just because, are the types who can't see beyond their own noses. They are ignorant because they've never been in your(our) shoes.<br /><br />As far as the other thing goes? Well, pfft on them. <br /><br />Just remember, the people who matter won't and don't judge you for what you do. <br /><br />And you are easy to like, don't let those buttheads get you down, April.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456445574969644863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-26321593932087820112009-10-05T10:28:35.610-07:002009-10-05T10:28:35.610-07:00Those same people who tell you that you shouldn...Those same people who tell you that you shouldn't have gotten a divorce or that you should not have chosen to have kids with him are the same people who would blast you out of the water if you were to tell them how to live THEIR lives. I don't get it, either; we get to feel however we feel, and we get to write about it. Not because it will change anything, but because it helps US.<br /><br /><br />It is no one's business what you choose to publish so far as comments go, either. I have been your friend for a really long time, and have never known you to not publish something just because you don't agree with it. And even if you only published the so-called "positive" comments, well, that's your right too. I believe it is the same people crying discrimination who are telling you that you should have done x, y, or z without fully knowing your situation. And they are probably the same people who think God has a big penis and therefore favors man above all else. But maybe that's just me.<br /><br />Likeable? I think you are loveable. :)Korihttp://seekorirant.comnoreply@blogger.com
