No offence, but during those times, I made a promise to myself to never ever let a man make me feel unworthy. And thankfully, Eddie has never allowed me to feel less than what I am. He knows our standing is different. But the good thing is...he's doing everything that he can to be on the 'same level' as me. And just to be clear, I never said or indicated anything to him...it's just an open secret that he decided to address. And in a way, his family are quite grateful that he's taking that turn too.<BR/><BR/>Less Cakap, Mr Wordless: you of all people should know that I will not let ANYONE compromise my beliefs. You were there with me on New Year's Eve. You witnessed what happened my friend.<BR/><BR/>And thank you :) You are definitely one of those friends I feel incredibly protective over, and laugh and cry with too. And I'm glad you've allowed me to get to know your family :)anna rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408503746751856520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526745157009822884.post-41230429930436036622009-04-01T23:49:00.000-07:002009-04-01T23:49:00.000-07:00yup masks are something that like it or we wear, j...yup masks are something that like it or we wear, just that like kakak said never compromise who u are for the sake of others (sounds selfish but hey.. so what)<BR/><BR/>you are great which ever mask you wear and i love u in any mask sistah!<BR/><BR/>recusLeSScAkAphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400098317144744431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526745157009822884.post-9309903821157677272009-04-01T21:25:00.000-07:002009-04-01T21:25:00.000-07:00Thank you....sob sobI must say, though, which ever...Thank you....sob sob<BR/><BR/>I must say, though, which ever mask you put on, at any one time, you MUST NEVER forget who you really are. NEVER. Don't ever feel you have to compromise or change yourself to suit people - no matter how close they are to you. Even, if he's your husband. I remember the days I had to act like I was lesser - less intelligent etc, I went along with him on whatever he said/suggested -just so my oh-so-lovely ex wouldn't feel like he didn't match up to me. It's OK for a while. But for a lifetime?<BR/>It can be pretty tiring, and trying. <BR/><BR/>This is my experience, OK. The gist of the story is, put on any mask, but make sure you are still you. You just don't want to wake up one day and wonder what the hell smells so bad, when what you're used to is the fresh aroma of coffee. <BR/><BR/>That said, I wish you all the best in what's to come - engagement, marriage and motherhood. <BR/><BR/>KakakAnita Ramlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570042171025689592noreply@blogger.com
