Author MartianChronicles Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 the MartianChronicles' guide to understanding italian men? sound great, though i believe you are giving more credit than i actually deserve i don't feel as a piece of meat either.. i am aware that for the first 9 months of our relationship, i was deeply loved and deeply loved him in return. that is what i miss in him, as i said yesterday and italian men... well, as a matter of fact they are childish and self centered, immature even when in their 30's, still living at home with their mama's (not my ex bf's case, anyway), still financially dependant on their parents. and most of all, they're totally afraid of committment and not willing to leave their unconcerned way of life to build something of their own. it's not just a cultural matter. i guess it has more to do with social issues, and the italian system, if you know what i mean. i'm 34 and have lived on my own since i was 18. started work at 25, i'm clever and good at my job, and have experience. most of italian men (and many women also) of my age don't even have a stable job and keep going from day to day, totally unaware of responsibilities, unknowing what adult life is. and that applies both to social responsibilities and to private life issues. update: my ex phoned last night and texted me he'd been to court house for his divorce (i had forgotten to mention). though he seemed sad and quite lonely, i didn't answer the phone and no reply to his text.
kirikat Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Well - mine has the pretense of independance (his parents bought him a home with rental property. ) Is there any way around this, or do I just start looking for older men?
Author MartianChronicles Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 i'm afraid older men are no better...
