And you failed to answer the first question.

16 years.

Congrats if you're going on 50 years or beyond. We probably aren't attracted to the same type of woman. I like strong and fiercely independent. I don't want to be the "boss" of someone that is supposed to be my partner.

Not to this level. Crips and Bloods established here decades ago but for the most part was pretty tame. Just this past weekend, 4 shootings and machete attack. The new groups have created the increase in gang to gang violence.

Lol. Can’t make it and can’t learn from not making it.

You have yet to successfully maintain a partner. You are still doing part time deals where one of or both of you eventually tire of the other. Even frauds don’t like frauds.

All of his neighbors told on him pretty quickly.. I guess the thing to remember in all of this is that there are a lot of people who may have bad circumstances in life, but they are still good people and want to do the right thing, heck, they are probably scared to live where they do too

What The World Lost: Heart-Wrenching Video Of Liza Fletcher Singing To Her Students Revealed

Video of Eliza Fletcher, the late beloved Memphis kindergarten teacher who was also the heiress to a billion-dollar hardware fortune, singing to her class during the COVID pandemic, has surfaced, showing how much was lost when her body was found on Tuesday.

“Hey girls, it’s Ms. Fletcher,” the young teacher told the camera as she got down on the floor. “So before we go, I wanted to remind you of something we do at St. Mary’s that’s so special and that I miss a lot. So I want to see if you can join in with me. We’re going to sing ‘This Little Light of Mine,’ okay? Ready?”

Sitting back up on her haunches, she waved her finger back and forth, singing, “This little light of mine. I’m gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Interesting. Keeping bragging about being the big boss around the house while talking about others being a fraud.

That’s heartbreaking. I’m guessing that because of her upbringing she was kept away from so much of the bad stuff out there that she had no clue how dangerous the world really is. I used this unfortunate story to show my kid that bad things happen to good people who are minding their own business and to always be aware of your surroundings.

Wow, whatever works for y’all 😂 married 24 years and I can tell you it is largely situational.. there has to be some give and take from all parties.. you shouldn’t boss her around all of the time lol but sometimes she is going to have to listen to you too.. that’s just the way it is.. if you stay married long enough, life is going to to throw you some sh!t bombs, and you how to best navigate it as a couple.. you can be strong as a woman, yet sometimes recognize, hey maybe I’m going to defer in this particular department

I don't think he is thumping his chest. I think he is describing a traditional marriage. Maybe some of the verbiage could be better but I don't think ya'll are really that far apart.

38 this year. We are generally equal but sometimes I defer to her and sometimes she defers to me. Sometimes I am adamant about things and sometimes she is. Unfortunately we aren't as "equal" as we were before she had cancer. Chemo-brain is real and is mostly recoverable but minor effects can and do last. I wouldn't be married to anyone else though.

Aww.. yeah, my husband had strokes recently.. we had to do a lot of switching up of roles and what not.. it makes you look at life differently.. the ability to bend and accommodate is an undervalued skill

Again, different strokes for different folks. I would bore very quickly of a subordinate.

I am not sure I believe in marriage for life. I have been married twice. Both relationships in a marital sense ran their course. I still have fantastic relationships with both and talk regularly. My last relationship was 5 years and ended with her passing.

Everything you said is correct. I think that it should be a collaborative effort. One person shouldn't possess the absolute veto power. Communication is key in any relationship.

Had this conversation taken place in person I would have already punched you in the face. Your little cowardly remarks toward my wife would have earned you that.

Good luck on that keyboard warrior. And you described yourself as the boss which would make her a subordinate. So might want to hit yourself.

Sorry to hear about your wife passing, that is rough. The bolded is the most important and the most difficult thing in a relationship. If anyone doesn't think so, try listening, really listening. Most people don't know how.

Also, I didn't marry a subordinate. Had I done that, my life would be much different now. Less rich, fewer experiences, more lonely maybe? She is my partner and therefore a complete equal.

And your cowardly return. At some point you made the reference to not wanting to be in a relationship with a child. You speak from stupidity and cowardice. It is understandable how the dominant role escapes you.

Listen tough guy, I meant child, as in somebody you get to tell what to do. When that rustled your jimmies, I switched to subordinate.

In my experience you self described "dominant" types are generally weaklings who prey on weak/abused women. But you do you.
