Response to Princess Yasmin

After reading this post, it's rather obvious to me that you've never had a man leave you for a younger woman, have you?

You write:

So ladies out there do not lose hope if he does look for a younger woman then take it graciously and move on at least you have him for ten, fifteen years, or till death do us part

So, what you are saying is that it's really simple to just chuck away 10-15 years of investing your heart, mind and soul into a relationship with someone? The women on here should just accept that and be like "meh, oh well, we had a good run"???

Are you serious?

Nearly every woman I know of would never josh around with some dude for that long. Come to think of it, I would say that they would demand a commitment or a marriage long before then.

Princess Yasmin, your comments suggest to me that you are acting naive, and that you have not been hurt nearly as bad as the women on here.

who knows love is blind as they say.

Who's they? Love is blind? No it's not. If you want you a real decent marriage or long-term commitment with someone, you've got to do wayyyy more than just have blind faith in love.

You've got to vet your man, and it simply becomes very difficult to do that when you have an ocean or a continent seperating you.

See, that's the problem with here-say.
