I think, and this is just my opinion, but the definition of man has been redefined to mean something that doesn't require integrity and responsibility. Ive had three men, in the last 5 years of my life promise to be the father that they believe that I need, and all three of those men are no where to be found today. Really? Why the empty promises? It was a waste of their breath and my time and emotions. I had a daddy. Granted, he didnt do everything that he could have done, but he did the best he knew how to do. He didnt have the greatest example himself, so I cant really blame him for everything. I love him and I forgave him a long time ago. There will NEVER be another Jimmy (Tommy) Lee Usry!!! And Im good!
I have had three men approach me in the last 5 yearswho are married. Really? Like if you are going to play the field why did you sign the deal? You should have never signed the marriage license. I just dont understand.
And the one man that claims he loves me, and once wanted to marry, still wants and still loves me finds it hard to send or return text messages, or make phone calls. Is that how love and wanting someone goes? I'm just saying! SMH!
And then my final take on men today, I know that I am a pretty good woman and I have a lot to offer and a lot to give, but the men that I have come in contact with seem to take those things for granted. I just don't understand. If I was a hooker, a "trick", or a player, I would probably get any and every man that I wanted but because I have morals and values and standards I remain single. Don't get me wrong. I'm not lonely; just observant, and coming to some conclusions in the 3, almost 4 decades that Ive been living.
Im sure this is not the stance of all men, it just seems to be the ONLY men that I come in contact with. Where are the brothers who love the Lord and know how to love their woman/wife as Christ loved the church? Are they still being formed or has that mold been thrown out with the bath water? Where are the Joseph Mitchell's of the 21st Century? My Grandaddy "put it down" forHis God, His Wife, and His Family!!
Praying for a "do over"!
