Desperate Housewives

This blog entry isn't about the TV show, but is inspired by it. The women on the show go to desperate measures to keep a happy home. They sneak, cheat and manipulate to get what they want and to prevent others from getting. Are these characteristics of women in general or women trying to keep a family? I thought of a few questions or family situations that seem common these days.

1. Are you continuously calling a man who still doesn't have your number saved?
2. Did you have his baby, just to keep him around?
3. Is he always asking for something: money, material things, sex and etc.?
4. Are you putting up with his B.S. because you think he will eventually change?
5. Are you blowing up his phone every night because he can't make it home before midnight?
6. Is your only alone time: when your intimate or about to go to bed?
7. Do you only see him at night?
8. Do you know there is another woman but don't care?
9. Is he "nice" in public but "mean" in private? or vice-verse
10. Are you involved with a man who seems gay but claims he's straight?
11. Do you always have to schedule the dates, pick him up, and pay?
12. Did you have his baby and he still doesn't give a damn about you, but you still love him?
13. Does he control your money, what you wear and where you go?
14. Has he cheated on you multiple times and you're still with him?
15. Do you have to check his text, email or call records regularly?

This list can go on and on but I have other things to do. Ladies if you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, I'm gonna need you to re-evaluate your relationship and yourself. You deserve better and he knows it too. A relationship does include compromise, but don't do it if it hurts you and makes you seem desperate to keep that man!

Feel free to comment and add more situations to the list!!
