I think sometimes people (including me) tend to get a little too caught up in our disapproval of other people's actions and forget the principle of repentance. I know I personally could probably work on being more compassionate.<br />I have to say though, guys like that seem to strike a chord of fear in me (because you usually can't trust them and never know what they might do), which is why I would automatically think to respond the way I said above. Better to be cautious if you ask me.Heidihttp://www.pinknotesbluenotes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936537874847344814.post-83713650517260053312011-11-23T08:16:23.376-07:002011-11-23T08:16:23.376-07:00The Maniac doesn't deserve you.

He wouldn't hide behind lies in order to avoid confrontation and he would treat you like royalty and a friend. He is selfish and manipulative, and basically I've said nothing new. <br /><br />Coquette, your advice about how to write missionaries is <b>spot on</b>!

My friend had a link to your blog on her blog, and I've never been a blog reader BUT I sort of read every post like you read a good novel for the first time over Christmas. In spare moments and thinking about it often. So, congrats! You're my first blog, and I quote you in my head...however weird that sounds, it is true. Thanks for your candid and human tone and content. I appreciate it all! (especially the hiatus, the sweet boys, and the time it takes to stew a good relationship)<br />Much love.<br /><br />MeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936537874847344814.post-85470885890053999082011-11-18T10:39:39.398-07:002011-11-18T10:39:39.398-07:00I agree, Heidi.

He's obviously very manipulative and if you still talk to him and you aren't careful, he could back you into a corner you don't want to be in. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence (I would never), I'm just saying that manipulative people just have a talent for doing that sort of thing. Bottom line is you don't want him to use you anymore, so don't put yourself in a position where he can.<br />p.s. guys like that can be scaryHeidihttp://www.pinknotesbluenotes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936537874847344814.post-57159571849037002412011-11-17T16:18:48.780-07:002011-11-17T16:18:48.780-07:00Fantastic advice!

Yiddish did (or German, take your pick)! Behold: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/schmutz<br /><br />Although, said friend may have been the one to popularize the use of it in referring to human beings, of which use I thoroughly approve.<br /><br />And as always, great advice. This...Maniac...even without the whole lying-about-a-major-issue thing, has been absurdly inconsistent for two years. TWO YEARS! That is a long time. And if he acts like that before adding the stress of a relationship, there is no reason to think he will magically become a stable, normal human being afterward. Good riddance, I say!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
