(while flinging your hair back and tooting your nose up) While someone else may say, " I don't think so, my man better keep taking care of me and I don't care what that woman says... She is just stupid. I am a high maintenance girl and gotta keep my nails and hair done and drive the finest cars... So, I am not listening to you because I am going keep on doing what I been doing to get what I got... My man can fix things all by himself... He, nor me don't need your stupid words of wisdom or whatever you are trying to say about me!!! Huff, puff & buff, huh you got some nerve! You better talk to the hand!!!

Ha, ha, ha... I get it, I get it and I have heard all this before, but truly, I think it is "too sad" that a woman who has a good man, doesn't really understand how to support her man or to keep his spirits built up and/or keep him encouraged so he can continue the fight of his life, while he is trying to do all he can to do his very best to make you happy. Audience, I get it, really I do. But I don't think you realize how hard men work to try to please you... Let me share a couple of life stories that I personally know about.

Case -1: I know of a man who was married for about 35-yrs or so. They had 3-children and the wife was a stay at home mom. Not even a soccer mom (as we commonly refer to today). This woman truly had her cake and ate the whole thing too... I think she took total advantage of this man because he worked all day while she did her nails, hair, checked out the latest soaps and ran up his credit cards... The man did all he could do for her and when that wasn't enough or he didn't make more money to support her addiction, she left him... Just kicked her husband to the curb like a bag of garbage. Not only did she do that, but she left him with the kids and ran off with 'John Doe', looking for green grass (more cash) on the other side... And so, and so, and so as the story goes, the grass truly wasn't greener on the other side because the man she left her husband for, did not respect her, but beat her and eventually killed her and now she is gone and left her story to carry on. However, her husband did survive and went onto remarry into the support group of women who love and support their men as I am discussing in this article.

Case-2: This is a story about a young military couple in their early twenties. This young soldier was a bright young man with a promising future in the military. He had three young (beautiful) kids, all under the age of 5-yrs old. Life looked wonderful for them until the woman decided, she was bored with her home life while her husband was gone all the time working to support the family (like men often do). That did not seem to be good enough for her so she left him too with all the young kids... This poor guy did not have a clue as to what he could do or how he could manage all by him self with three young kids (one girl and two boys), so unfortunately the man could not find a way to handle his affairs and he committed suicide. All the children went off to live with other living relatives (other than the mother).

Case-3: The final story that I know of is a case where a young man was involved with a young woman who seemed to be promiscuous. I believe this was what attracted him to her. However, when they became involved for sometime, the poor man did not seem to get the woman to settle down as she continued to flirt about with others while he tried to work hard to provide anything she wanted and everything she asked for. But one day, I think the woman took him for granted far more than she should have and jumped into their bed with some other man... When the man happened to come home one day early from work to tell her he just got promoted to his team's leader and ask her to marry him so he could show her how serious he was and how much he really loved her and wanted to live the rest of his life with her... he unfortunately walked into a very disappointing surprise that instantly broke his heart, shattered his dreams and shocked him senselessly.

The man was so distraught from catching (who he thought was) the love of his life in their bed with another man, that he immediately acted in the 'heat of passion' and killed both the man and his girlfriend and turned the gun on himself... My question to that is "what is this for?" It was all for nothing.

So you see, what I am trying to say here is that men, your man, my man or anyone's man tends to work hard to do whatever they think you need
