    Stolen from the TV show Frasier:

    Daphne: It's not like men have never used sex to get what they want.
    Frasier: How can we possibly use sex to get what we want? Sex is what we want!
    :rotfl:

    Not just any old sex though :D special persuading sex ;) Although I will be honest, for me with this partner, they are both the same :)

    Well, I'm sure you know already that I'm not going to agree with that.

    "women are devious, manipulative little biatches" - what, all of them? really?

    Yes, all of them. Usually start at a young age. "Daddy Please" ring a bell. All starts from back then.

    So yes all women are devious and manipulators, any that disagree are also liars. Considering you spent a considerably time in a web of lies and deceit I can only assume you are in the liars category, or in a nicer way in denial.

    Lotus-eater, its not just about loose easy women trying to get their hooks into you, which in your case would be few and far between ... its about everything, from tidying your room, to that new pair of shoes. Gentle persuation from a woman usually has a hint of manipulation behind it!

    I am truly sorry you're going through this, and that your kids are suffering. He sounds like a total ar5e. It's so sad that he can't see past his feelings for you and realise that he can still have a good relationship with his kids, regardless of how bad his relationship with you is.

    Thank you. His relationship with me is how he chooses it to be, I have an old mobile that he has the number for. I will keep it till youngest is 18 in case he wants to talk to the children. Then it will be thrown away. The rest is up to him.


    sorry if I sounded down on you

    Hehehe :D

    You're joking right? I keep a stick in the car to beat them off. :p

    Their are manipulative men and women I suppose, in all seriousness. You are a strange unhappy person though, to believe what you do.

    Next time my OH picks up my dirty pants and washed them for me, I'll tell her she is manipulating me. Thanks for the info!

    Mark, I manipulated nobody in "snagging" my man. I was there if he wanted me, and he chose me. I never once asked him to leave. I never once begged him to leave. I never once promised him the moon if he left. I never once withheld favours. I never once pretended to be something I wasn't. I got on with my life and he decided he wanted to be part of it.
