Really. Peace be with you, dear letter writer.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313680582860952355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-9223052375597355612013-07-25T02:25:32.681+01:002013-07-25T02:25:32.681+01:00Seraphic, this is great advice.

There is no way this woman should see him again.<br /><br />Luckily for me - and I'd say this is by the Grace of God - as soon as a man displays intolerant left-wing opinions or exhibits mocking disdain for Judaeo-Christian beliefs and the people who adhere to them, any interest I might have had for him is extinguished. As you've pointed out, the assumption that a young, well-educated woman must by definition be 'socially progressive' is INFURIATING.<br /><br />I'm sorry for anyone whose parents had an unhappy marriage. That has to be one of the roughest life experiences for a child.Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-11972360816043987112013-07-25T02:07:08.717+01:002013-07-25T02:07:08.717+01:00Oh A.L., I hear you.

While I've learned that not all marriages have to be that way (and thankfully, are not), I would a million times rather hold out for the possibility of a good marriage and risk eternal singlehood, than settle for the certainty of mediocrity or worse.anonymous this timenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-87616055641535985022013-07-24T21:17:33.474+01:002013-07-24T21:17:33.474+01:00I really liked your title "Any Guy is Not Bet...I really liked your title "Any Guy is Not Better Than No Guy." One of the best lessons I learned from my parents' extremely unhealthy and unhappy marriage was that it is better to be single than to be with a man who isn't good for or to you. I very much feel the deficits that result from growing up as the child of such a marriage, but I am glad to have at least learned something from the experience.Athanasius Lovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-87568675500657639522013-07-24T16:23:22.110+01:002013-07-24T16:23:22.110+01:00This is such a good point.

I danced awful close to a few cliff edges trying to prove that I was cool and Catholic; and while my angel saved me from real harm I know I said things and gave impressions I wish I could take back.Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076215213828545013noreply@blogger.com
