Always a bit of over Sale in every relationship
Many times before have I heard that someone was tricked by their mate when the first entered into their relationship. Perhaps the woman no longer cooks for her man, or the maybe the dude no longer courts his old lady. Does that mean that they both were lied to? I guess it really depends on how you look at. Perhaps the aforementioned woman used to cook them home cooked meals for her dude because he made her feel special and she wanted to return the favor by doing something she could was good at that he would hopefully appreciate. What about the man, did he feel his woman was no longer worth sending flowers to anymore or sitting and talking 4 hours about nothing? Or could it be that both of the people in question have forgotten that wonderful feelings they once had. I personally like to think of it as being a little bit of over Sale in every relationship. What I mean by that is, that as imperfect humans we tend to put our best foot 4ward,right? We always prefer others to see us as close to perfection as possible. Who wants to be seen as someone who is extra jealous, a bad money manager, unhappy with their job or some other hidden weaknesses. The ironic thing about relationships is that eventually all that we are trying to cover up usually comes out at some point doesn't it? The next phase is when we expect the significant other in our lives to over look the fact that we omitted sharing initially.
Take my often mentioned guy "Mike". He has been living his with lady for the last 9.5 years and they have weekly arguments about something he 4 got to mention when they first met. See Mike was in a bad relationship when he met (Angie) and he was leaving that situation anyway. After 3 weeks of getting to know Angie he decided he was officially leaving the other woman (he only dated her for 3 months and wasn't feeling it) and he did and moved forward with Angie and never looked back. Well Angie found out about the other woman a year later and says to this day that Mike was cheating on her and is untrustable????
Angie thinks Mike lies to her about every thing because of that. He has tried telling her that he was getting to know her and that he was sorry, but she ain't hearing it. My point you wonder. Mike didn't tell Angie up front that he had someone, but he expects her to understand or at least forgive him after all these years. In all reality this relationship is toxic now and has a good chance of turning out bad. Anywho, back to my point of the blog. Over sale is everywhere if we open our eyes. Have you ever started a job to find out that all they told you was on partially true, but 100% of the things they didn't tell you is all true-lol! And my favorite, is the weight loss commercials, the fine print says results not typical, but they show the super thin and in-shape models that we could be like if we try their products! Again, its not what they are saying that we must learn to understand, rather its what they are not saying!!!! Heck I still remember when this dude I thought was cool, he asked me to loan him $20.06 to get his heart medz cuz he forgot his wallet. What he didn't say was he was a well established crack head. Yeah he got Wardy, but now I know-right? I recently encountered a mother who asked her daughter for some money until she got paid and told her she would double the money back on a certain day? We all know what that move was, don't we. Long story short, that money still hasn't returned and probably never will....SMH!
What I am trying to do now is learn to be more understanding with others because no one wants to be called out on our bull shiggadee in 2012. Well,I gotta end this blog now because, I just saw an ad on TV for a free Ipad 2 if I just give them my email!!! I am so excited.....or is this just another sad case of over sale?
I am Ward
