My 2 cheles!
I will say this and please do not get on my fricking back and if any have the need to attack what I'll say, SAVE IT!.
There comes a time that some of us just GIVE UP when it come to warning women, mostly, when it come to being abused by a sankie or a male.
All we need to do is read the many, many, many threads about women being abused verbally, physically or mentally, and that woman taking it in order to realize that Larry's comment is NOTHING compared to what many feel like telling some of these abused women.
Yes, we can tell someone, until we are blue on the face, not to do a certain thing and no sooner you end giving this person some advices, that same person is hopping into a plane to see her abusive partner.
Yes, some women and men (but we are talking about a female now) can not help but find themselves in situations where they are so used to being abused that they mistake being abused for being loved.
No, I don't think that ANYBODY likes to be abused but there are some that would not do anything to help their causes since many of us are guilty of thinking with our hearts and not our heads.
Make a trip to "memory lane" (threads) where some of us tell a member time and time again what's wrong with their "love" only to have that member spit on our faces and not take our advices because we are "always wrong". And them, after following their hearts, go to the DR, be treated like crap by her "love" and them come here to tell us that we were right and then dissapear into the sunset.
Wolfdiablo, I must tell you that I know what you are talking about and I DO respect your views and opinions. I respect the fact that you are passionate on what you believe in.You are on your right to debate ANYBODY'S post here and do not let ANYBODY tells you otherwise.
That said, remember that some of us are just sick and tired of offering advices and trying to help someone only to have that person do the opposite and after doing the opposite, prove us right. It happens all the time and that's the reason why some of us would say EXACTLY what Larry said.
But, as I said before, I do understand you and I have much respect for you. Honest!!.
