I could prove to be very wrong about this, but I think your chances aren’t very good (probably less than 5%) of finding an eventual husband who wouldn’t have a very serious problem with you getting up on a Saturday morning and telling him that, “hey, I’m going for breakfast with my male friend Billy Bob.” And again, I could be wrong, but I think YOU’D have a problem if your husband did the same, leaving you at home in a cold bed all by yourself. Slap me if I'm wrong about that.*slap slap* okay you are right, if my future mate was always going out to breakfast and leaving me all alone in bed, i'd be a bit miffed, but i still contend that once in awhile would not bother me at all.
After thinking about it for years, I think two things seem to be at work here. For one, most people have insecurities and look for “happiness” not from within but from without – from others – particularly from their significant other (boy-/ girlfriend or mate).well, one reason i left my last b/f of five years was because i didn't know who i was anymore. i needed (need) to find myself. i stayed in a not so great relationship because i feared being alone. you are so right about people looking for happiness from without but i tried that for 5 years, doesn't work! so now i'm living alone, learning to be content with being alone. not sure i'll ever be happy alone but content will be good enough i think.Stemming from that is a related component – that virtually every person I’ve ever known really doesn’t enjoy his or her own company. They may tolerate it at times, but actually ENJOY being alone? Not a common human trait. People tend to find (or WANT to find) enjoyment only in the company of others.
So, when “marriage” (read: “exclusive, committed relationship”) enters the already unstable mix, seeing someone’s significant other having fun with someone they might just end up with is a bit disconcerting for most people. “what if they like the other person better and leaves me?” “what am I going to do all alone?” “I don’t want to be alone.” “I can’t make it by myself.”this was so me when i was with my guy! i was a jealous freak and so afraid of losing him. i finally started to realize about 3 yrs into the relationship that i had a problem. my feelings of jealousy were my problem. now granted this relationship was far from perfect but he did not run around on me. so i learned to acknowledge my emotion and then think about WHY i reacted the way i did. it works in other parts of life too! ah, i'm babbling, i hope this makes sense. and thanks for your well wishes on finding a secure man. i'm not really lookin' for a man right now, i'm doing okay all on my own
okay and now to get back to the topic here....
I]I don't want him having close friendships with women. To be honest, if I wanted to spend time with another man more than I wanted to spend time with my b/f then I would seriously consider ending the relationship.the close relationship part does not or would not bother me but spending a ton MORE time with someone than your significant other that easily could be a sign there might be a problem. i think it all comes down to what each person in the relationship expects or wants from said relationship. communication is key and IMO probably the hardest thing to achieve or continue in a long term committed relationship.
okay enough babbling from me
again great thread!
love

i sincerely believe that the "net thang" will continue to play a role in helping jw who are sincerely searching for a confirmation that all their doubts and wondering over the years was not the result of them being spiritually weak.
JT, i will really miss you here. you are such an asset to this board! good luck with everything in life :)
with much love

although this is a test for men only and all men answer "c" to all of these questions, women can also benefit by reviewing them so that they get to understand men and thereby enrich their own lives.. 1. alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the earth, and you are the first human they encounter.
as a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire earth.

i am a maple tree :)
MAPLE TREE (Independent) - no ordinary person, full of imagination and originality, shy and reserved, ambitious, proud, self-confident, hungers for new experiences, sometimes nervous, has many complexities, good memory, learns easily, complicated love life, wants to impress.
mostly true i think. the shy and reserved part is a bit off though. it should read "shy and reserved around new faces" none of my friends would ever use those two words to describe me.
