Bad Choices
Aug. 2nd, 2007 12:44 pmMost of this will focus on relationship choices. However, repeating bad choices in other venues and expecting a change in the result can apply to almost anything.

( Why do people make the same bad choices repeatedly? )
I put the genders in this article as both male and female but unfortunately, due to the culture of this country, the women are more likely to be controlled, neglected, and abused than the men.
I am so grateful every day that I learned to get past the abusive situations that I had learned to see as 'normal' and that I have found a true helpmate. One who supports my hobbies even when they interfere with house-plans (though I try to minimize that). One who has a life of his own and respects my life. One who supports my independence while cherishing our togetherness. I am one of the luckiest people because of this. Thank you Java for being a true Gentle-Man.
