MENA BICKERING

Correction, you are the only one making attacks.

whenever I say anyhing, you correct me. Is it only you who gets to define what is happening? Do I get to have a viewpoint that disgrees with yours? You have been so invested in defending Sarah's thoughtless comments, JP, you cannot see the forest for the trees today.

Wow I'm sorry, I guess you don't see yourself replying to every one of my posts as well. Hmm who is it that can't see? I don't see Sarah's comments as thoughtless, I see them as her opinion. She is entitled to it. You can disagree with me all you like honey, its a free country, ain't it grand?

I am hardly relentless. And, despite what you say, I don't need everyone to agree with me. You seem to have that need, tho.

Sarah's comments were hostile and thoughtless, and you should be ashamed for defending them. That is the end of this story. Disagree all you want.

Is there going to be another 14 pages to see who gets the last word? Someone has to be the bigger person and drop it and stop responding.

LOL, maybe I should ask you for advice since you have been here before

As you like, the only thing I am ashamed of is associating with a person like you. Have a great day!

As someone engaged to a younger man, I didn't see Sarah's comments directed at my relationship. I would have been the first to correct her if I thought she crossed the line. All she did was express her opinion as it would felt to her.

me thinnks thou doest protest too much

Now off topic. What is another site to go to get good information like VJ has?

As someone married to a younger man, I saw Sarah's comments directed not only at my relationship, but at others here who deserve more respect than she was giving us. I did correct her because she crossed the line. All I did was express my opinion as it felt to me. Me thinks many of you older women, some of whom complained about her yesterday, are today afraid to stand up for yourselves out of fear of being flamed like I was for doing so. But, if that is how you want it, you got it because most people here think it's quite alright for people to make negative remarks about your relationships.

That is my opinion about that. I am entitled to it, as you are to yours.

I didn't complain about it yesterday I don't think. I wasn't really offended. I read the "gross" comment, winced a wee bit, felt a twinge of "oh no she didn't", then remembered that she's only like 23 or something and then brushed it off. It it had come from someone my own age I would have reacted differently I think.

I have found in my life that when something is said that might be offensive to me or that might otherwise upset me, I have to look at the source. I have saved myself a lot of heartache and fights that way. A lot of times the person just hasn't a clue of how their words effect others, sometimes the person could be just having a bad day, sometimes they have deeper issues, etc. You just never know what is going on with someone on the other end so why spend the energy being upset.

That's just my take on it anyways. I have so many other things to drive my blood pressure sky high. A message board is definitely not on my top ten aggravators.

As a woman married to a younger man, seeing all these comments don't really bother me anymore. At first they did, but as I continued to read the comments made by the younger crowd I learned that most of the ladies making the judemental comments really have not lived life much and are probably going to be eating all their words one day. Seems much of the younger crowed on this forum seem to have the answer for everything when in fact, they are just babes themselves and need to live a little more in order for me to respect anything they have to say.

Can you elaborate on this?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

I understand what you say, dos doodlebugs, and I agree with it. In fact, I told Sarah that her age was a factor in her thinking and that when she got older, she would probebly understand why her words were offensive, and I could let it go. What did I get for conceding that? People b!thching about how I didn't respect her opinions because of her age!

For me it's weird. Why? Cause I am 23 and if I were to marry a younger man he would be 3 years old or so. Doesn't that make sense to anyone? I never judged anyone, I said it's gross FOR ME. I never pointed my finger at anyone or said so and so is gross! You can call me a baby, that's fine. I like being young. I would never marry a man 20 years older than myself I think it's gross.

Ok so you only respect old people? I hope you're not married to a younger man cause if you are you just insulted him as well. Good work!

You conceded it by making a poll about it and arguing for about 3 more hours?
