If you're amazing you won't be easy, if you're easy you won't be amazing. If he's worth it he will wait. If he doesn't wait... he's not worth it x

Oh FFS OP what happened to healing and looking after your children?
I'm not caring what you do but it's not normal to have to be in a relationship with a man is it? It says something about a person.
That's why people seek space.

I don’t think that quote is very inspirational.

I came across this recently and loved it though!

God that quote is vile.

What a disgusting way to talk about humans beings.

What an awful quote in the OP.

SoupDragon · 11/09/2022 10:26

what is it about that quote that makes you think it is at all "inspirational"?

Imagine your best self and turn up as her every damn day

I think the quote is fine and especially good for younger women who are not married and are starting to think they have to compromise to have a long term relationship. And it’s human nature to want to share your life with someone. It’s not Surrendered Women shit.

I know many of us are twisted old trouts like me, who think men are a waste of space.

Men, you’re not worth it. My quote I just made up.

Crack on @OrangeFlowersAreLovely you’re doing fine.

The quote seems to be of the same ilk of "if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best", which I personally think is dogshit, because it's telling people to tolerate being treated badly.

Also eyebrow raised about the "easy" and the men waiting part. Seems a sex-shaming thing.

Plus if you're not fit to be in a relationship, you shouldn't expect people to wait for you to be, you need to work on yourself and then look around.

A very simple one but for me

"Its better to be alone than with a man who doesnt care for you completely"

Fairly self explanatory I know but it's taken me a long marriage and some FWB experiences to work this one out, hopefully most people have the sense to know this already.

I agree even though I’m a twisted old trout too - the men in my life are lovely so some are worth it!

I think when I was going through my Bridgette Jones phase my goal was that old advice to ‘marry your best friend’ and I did! He’s still an amazing husband and father 30 years on…
