Guest guest Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 <<I know even in a marriage- I try to minimize the diet part and keep life as " normal " as possible. What personal traits can we bring to the table? We are so much more than this >> Yes. This is really true. When alone on a Friday night, though, I try to remember what it was like to be married to someone who " pushed " illegals offering me deserts at restaurants and at home. My ex constantly felt sorry for himself demanding that it was his right to keep candy, chips, ice cream, etc. not only in the house but very prominently displayed. Rarely I would be exhausted and " desperate " for something to eat ... Like when I'd worked on my feet all day long at very physical labor painting a mural. At these times I'm vulnerable. Blood sugar is crashing so I'm looking for ANYTHING that will raise my blood sugar and his junk was right there. Nothing around that's legal and easy. A very immature and self-centered man, my ex had no sympathy for it. There are such women out there, too. And we are far better off alone! On the other hand, there are also kind, patient, and loving people who are looking for a mate and when looking at my own positive attributes I believe that through the requirements of my gut " problems " God has given me GIFTS, too... like humility, kindness, and patience. Some folks never learn these. I am grateful to be presented the opportunity for learning them. And I am ALSO grateful not to be with folks who DON'T have these attributes!!!
