A rant of sorts ...
Just a rant .. neither here nor there
Generally I'm open and caring with friends and go out of my way to tend to my friend's needs--a garderner of sorts ...
However, when my caring & affection are abused, taken for grantef or mocked, my respect for the person diminishes ... if it happens repeatedly it chips away at my affection.
Equally annoying are those who confuse my gentleness for passivity in all aspects of my life and personality ... to those I say, if you want to be treated like shit or used & abused, look elsewhere ... confusing arrogance, belittling and disrespect for "manliness" or "manly" affection is a dangerous thing and stinks of low self esteem on the part of both players...
And ending up in a relationship with someone with those qualities, either be it the abused or the abuser, will be a lonely existence indeed!
