Dear Joanne

Joanne,

I just wanted to say thanks for all the support earlier, and it was very nice of you to apologize to Farrah. In truth, she has been patient despite the tough love on here, but unfortunately, I highly doubt she can be happy with this man. It's clear to me that her relationship will continue to go in these cycles where things are calm and then get nasty like they are recently as demonstrated by her frustration. One day, I think she'll realize that his handsomeness and material ways are not the keys to happiness.

I hope you'll continue to post on this forum, and I can relate to your frustration, and I'll bet you're just sick and tired of women coming on here and telling us how handsome their foreign man is, as if that's the only thing needed in a relationship.

It also seems like a lot of what I say lately is falling on deaf ears.

I hope that things are going well with you and your friend, but I wanted to mention that as a guy, he may want something in return deep down for all that he's doing to provide for you, and soon he may expect it. I'm not for using people whether it's men or women, but don't be surprised if his expectations change. I'm a guy myself, so I kind of know how it goes.
