Thank you again for your comment! You actually raise a good point that I had considered. I thought about some of the things your stated above mainly because I’m more on your end of the spectrum. I doubt anyone in my workplace would call me a “bitch” for the reasons I stated in my post but they would say I work hard and efficiently while bringing new ideas where I can. At times though I’d like to channel this inner “bitch” because I see where there are gains to be made by doing so which is where this post was coming from.

I don’t take offense to your opposing opinion at all!

I agree with this. Marriage runs on more than love I believe. An effort to understand and essentially “choose your battles” is something that moves along with the relationship for years. Communication is key I think because although you may feel many things they are useless if the other person has no idea where you stand.

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes I could, depends on the situation and the content perhaps but I’m definitely open to it.

Oh my, just browsing your website after my first post….

So I’m 29 and I’ve been married 5 years, but I met my husband in high school the summer before my freshman year, so I’ve basically known him half my life, we pretty much grew up together…but there was a relationship in-between when we first started dating and when we got back together in college. During that time I loved someone in that fairy tale kind of way, nothing really in common (maybe music; he produced I sang) but not similar life paths at all, but I loved him and loved him deep. But it was bound to end, we fought and it was very volatile, so it ended…

Now though I don’t believe in soul mates (I don’t think anyway; unless I am proven wrong one day) while recovering from the bad break-up with Mr. Wrong I would talk on the phone to my current husband who seemed to have grown in his life right along with me though we hadn’t been talking. I knew then that we could probably make it; we were following the same paths even when we weren’t together…and so far so good…

The one thing I think people don’t realize when they are falling in love is that marriage requires at least some compromise, you can’t always have your way and neither can he; you are two people trying to live together as one, so it’s not always going to be about your needs, but the needs of the whole…just my 29 year old words of wisdom…

Interesting post. I have to say as a young black woman in corporate America, who is both ambitious and impatient, I’m not sure I agree…
First I’d like to say that I like the article and these comments in no way are meant to make you think or feel like I’m downing your abilities because it’s very well written, I just don’t agree with the opinion.
I don’t like that women are expected to change the way they approach situations or that we have done this. Why can’t we do it different? I am not the one to come in and shake it up just for other people’s ‘respect’. Now maybe this means I won’t be the VP one day, but I’ve been working for five years since college and I’ve been promoted 3 times, I’m doing something right…
Though, I do agree there are a lot of women taking that approach, you’re either a slut or a b%tch, that’s how it is in America even now. But that’s because the men have set the bar there, we just need to change what that bar looks like. I can be intelligent and well spoken, professional and dependable without being put in a category and all while being me.
In my opinion the bigger problem is that people are trying to fit a mold that no one can fit in so there are unhappy, unfulfilled people running around with their noses in the air, their debt to equity ration going the wrong way, and suicide (or homicide) on the mind. When we start to think more about what is important to us then all this other stuff just doesn’t hold so much power anymore.
I do my job, I do it well and then I go home to my family and thank God that He has given me so many blessings. Because honestly lets face it, what are you working for, whether in entertainment or in the corporate world? We are working to get paid, maybe have some fame, and do the things we find happiness in, so why even go into it like that? If you ask the retiring generation right now they will tell you all their loyalty and hard work got them either a nice pension or a terrible 401k deal….and fame, well it just disappears…
Sorry so long, and hopefully I didn’t ramble too much but this really hit my heart since I’m constantly thinking about it because I am daily living it…
Peace to you and yours…

Never! She’s got another thing coming if she tries to make a move.
