Hmmm...let me see, when it rains I wear something to keep myself dry. When I go to an "event" I dress up. When I go to work, I wear "professional" garments.

Have you ever heard of the concept of "going with the flow"?

In my opinion, self-respect far outweighs the respect of a fiance or his family. How could anyone who selectively wears a scarf to show respect for someone else or a situation have any respect for themselves?

You are really going to compare these types of situations? But hey...if these are your values, I say don't wear that rain gear. If it is against your principle to dress professionally, be a slob.
You really reach far out on the limb there...be careful it doesn't break.

If I'm on a flexible branch, it will be able to take weight and stress better than if I were on a brittle, stiff and inflexible one.

Dry reeds break in the wind.

What a wonderful statement and it would be very convincing coming from someone who is actually flexible but all I can hear is the snapping of those brittle, stiff branches that you are perched upon.

A turkish man once posted a very interesting observation here. He said that Turkish men do not want a beautiful or "hot" wife - they would rather she was plain. However, once he has married his "plain wife" he spends his time chasing (and sometimes catching) the beautiful "hot" ones

Nice

(Of course this excludes dudus who will marry "anything" with a cheque book)

Sera, you are right that a relationship is give and take but it sounds to me like you are doing all the giving and he is doing all the taking. Of course, we have no knowledge of your relationship other than what you reveal in these forums....so I hope this is not the case.

Good luck.

If it was only an individual with this attitude, he would go to a psych ward, but since it's a big group, we call it culture.

Thank God the world has not gone totally mad,i couldnt agree more.I tend to go with the flow as you said,i don't wear a scarf all the time however as i have said before no one seems to have a problem with it.I take life as it comes,some days i feel like it and others not.
