Be forewarned - if she gets the notion that there is not any subject she cannot breach with you, as my son has, there will be times that your blood will either curdle or boil... just never let on that it is, so she doesn't shut you out again.

Just turn on the charm and appear helpless - he'll cave, melt, and then foot the bill. Works every time. Take That from a man. We're vulnerable like that. Women want to be WANTED, but men need to be NEEDED. It's our weakness. Some of us have superpowers, but all of us have superweaknesses.

Some good advice. I like the part about the super powers, and could not agree more about the "never, ever, bad mouth or throw the other parent under the bus".

I surely have done the appear weak thing wrong all my life.

The one thing all the men in my life will tell you about me, is that I never showed much weakness. I actually think that may have been one of things that attracted me to them. Maybe they were looking for that weak spot, obsessed with finding that hidden treasure, locked inside.

I have to laugh now. I just remembered that my friends used to call me a witch when I was little, because they never saw me cry. 

Being the oldest of 10 siblings, and being expect to be their guardians, did not leave a lot of room for obvious weaknesses. 

The biggest deal breaker I have had in my relationships is honesty. I can deal with almost any problems that rear up in a relationship, except for lying. If I can't trust you, I cannot have a relationship with you. Full stop.

Weird truth about me is that once I have determined a relationship has failed, all sexual attraction immediately disappears, and it cannot be resuscitated. We can remain good friends for life, but we will never be able to breathe life into a fire gone cold.

I know this is why I have never married, but out of all my relationships, only one ended up in enemy territory. I still consider all the others friends.

Very few regrets, so I guess this is they way it was supposed to be.
