A Birthday Gift for Kanye West: What I wish I knew the day I became a father

A Birthday Gift for Kanye West: What I wish I knew the day I became a father

Dear Kanye:

Happy Birthday! I hope today is filled with what you want from life. You have a healthy bank account… and while money won’t actually buy happiness, it does help pay for the search.

I’m sure you are receiving a variety of gifts today, but your real gift is but a few weeks away: The gift of fatherhood. I’d like to gift you with something unique; a gift only someone like me can provide: How to survive being the father of a baby girl. There’s not rulebook on parenting, and being the father of a girl comes with a variety of challenges: some good, others that make you want to bash your head into a wall.

Ask Charles: "I'm in love with a married man..."

Ask Charles: "I'm in love with a married man..."

Dear Charles:

I'm in a crappy situation. He loves me. I KNOW he loves me. But he's with his wife and isn't filing for divorce. It's been two years, and I keep waiting. I love him and can't let him go. I texted him last night and this was the response I got. He ALWAYS needs more time. What do I do? I'm sick of him being with that bitch!

Why real men don't cheat

Why real men don't cheat

Cheating is all the rage. Celbs and regular Moe’s alike are constantly getting called out by the press, by their [now ex] significant others, and the perpetually investigating paparazzi. Some have taken the road of silence and others come clean right away… but it’s been fascinating to watch the man cheaters confess (read: pour their hearts out to the world on how sorry they are.) As a man, I have listened to these tearful laments and I can’t help but laugh. These men were just fine traipsing around the town with tender trollops in-tow—an unsuspecting wife or girlfriend holding down the proverbial fort, oftentimes dutifully caring for the kids—and now they want me to believe they’re sorry? Puh-lease. These cheaters aren’t sorry… they’re just sorry they got caught.

The double standards of some men

Just something to consider:

Arguments
If she argues with him, she's looking for a fight; but if she's quiet, he'll say she doesn't care.

Contact
If she calls him, she's too clingy; but if he calls her, she should drop what she's doing and be happy he called at all.


Love
If she doesn't love him, he'll try to win her; but when she does love him, he'll take her for granted.

Sex
If she doesn't sleep with him in the first few dates, she's a tease; but if she does, she's a slut.

Intimacy
 
If she tells him her problems, he'll tell her to stop bitching about everything; but if she doesn't, he'll say she doesn't trust him.

Advice
If she offers him advice, she's a nag or a know-it-all; but if he offers her advice, it's because he cares.

Honor
If she breaks a promise, he'll never trust her again; but if he breaks one, it's because he had no choice and she needs to be more understanding.

Faithfulness
If she cheats, it's over; but if he cheats, it was just a mistake and she has to give him another chance.


Could the genders be reversed? Sure... there are many women who exhibit these behavioral traits. But that doesn't nullify what's written here.
