irc333 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I have a male friend of mine , we were talking about dating and the "frequency" people would like to see each other dating. Some prefer to date someone and see them at least 2 or 3 times a week if possible (usually only possible if you live locally) But this one was about a 1 hr commute, not bad....but they were only reserving the weekends for each other. After a time, and since she was a single mother, sometimes the kids would have plans that weekend or she'd have some weekend plans with her friends every so often on the weekends. It became TOO ritualistic for her, esp. sometimes she was occupied with her kids for the weekend. I was saying to him, "YEah, but its only once a week, with like 5 day gap to miss each other" But he said, "Yes, but, if you're taking up someone's weekend (their day off) on a continual basis, that can become tiring. THat being said, anyone can concur?
ChessPieceFace Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 If once a week(end) is "too much" then I don't think there's much of a relationship. Not a relationship in my book anyway. Welcome to the divorce society. What? Throwing out your husband, having to work more and then not having any time? YOU DON'T SAY? 1
soccerrprp Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 This is why I am not dating right now. I can't and frankly, I am not willing to give the time that most ladies would like to bolster a relationship. It wouldn't be fair of me to expect anyone to live by my schedule and limited availability when a proper relationship involves, quality AND quantity. And when you're single parent, well, that makes things even more complicated. I can relate to what your friend is saying. I'm current content just getting together every once in a while with friends, doing my own thing, spending my weekends with my kids and removing myself from the stresses of dating. After a long week of work, thinking about going on a date can be a downer at times. 2

Welcome to the divorce society. What? Throwing out your husband, having to work more and then not having any time? YOU DON'T SAY? Throwing out your husband... You do realize the woman doesn't always have a choice, or sometimes has a choice but thinks maybe someone else out there won't cheat on her without repent?

Welcome to the divorce society. What? Throwing out your husband, having to work more and then not having any time? YOU DON'T SAY? Says a lot about your current frame of mind that you immediately equate 'single mother' to a just-for-fun divorcee, or even a divorcee. Plenty of single mothers are single mothers because they had intercourse with a man who chose to not take responsibility for the offspring after that. Welcome to society?
ChessPieceFace Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Throwing out your husband... You do realize the woman doesn't always have a choice, or sometimes has a choice but thinks maybe someone else out there won't cheat on her without repent? I would fully support divorce in the case of cheating, physical abuse, long-term serious addiction, etc. I don't believe those cases make up the lion's share of divorces. Women want everything and that's what the courts hand them nowadays. Everything. Why WOULDN'T they divorce? Marriage is just the short period of time between the wedding night and the day she cashes in on the man's life and future.
Woggle Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 If even once a week is too much then they are just not into you.
pbjbear Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Throwing out your husband... You do realize the woman doesn't always have a choice, or sometimes has a choice but thinks maybe someone else out there won't cheat on her without repent? Argumentative and stubborn personality. Dont bother with him.
