he's mine...you may have had him once but i got him all the time ...
He might be doing you
But he's thinkin' about me
So lay that finger on another lover
And go find another brother
I know he's my man
He's holding my hand
It feels good when he calls my name
Don't you wish you had the same
Feeling disgust workin' yo' stuff
Till he thinks about mine Now he's feeling real high
You ask why Cause he's mine
Tell you something that just aint cool
Never fall in love with a man who don't love you
I wouldn't waste my time telling you something wrong
You been with him one night and now he's coming home ...
"he don't want that hoe. she was just a one night thing."
this phrase is one i've come to be familiar with among friends and family when they find their man has cheated.
it was only a one night thing.
it didn't mean anything.
he made a mistake.
maybe it's just me, but i don't think that should matter. i think the fact that he spent the night out sexing down some chick while you were at home is enough to be fired. my friends say i'm unrealistic when it comes to relationships. how dare i expect a man to be faithful for forever in 2008?
in the song 'hey ya' by andre 3000, he says "if what they say is nothing lasts forever, then what makes love the exception?"
i dunno. i just think that once you stop believing in love, there's really no reason to date or get married or even be involved in it, you know? a friend told me that 'love fades. people fall out of love every day.' and i know this is true. i've seen it. but is that because it's so easy for us to look elsewhere for it?
and what happens when one of his 'one nighters' is no longer a one nighter? or one of those chicks gives him some disease that he so graciously gives to you? why is it so unrealistic to expect a man to be faithful? and what is the point of getting married if you are just going to cheat on each other?
'feeling disgust working your stuff...'
uh, yeah right.
so let me ask you guys...
do you think it's possible for love to last through anything?
you think the 20-30 year relationships are a possibility in this day and age?
if your man or woman had a 'one night thing' ... would you forgive and forget? tell yourself 'this here is too good, he don't want nothing else?'
or would you bounce to find your 'meant to be?'

Absolutely the 20-30 year thing is do-able. We just celebrated 20 ourselves. (I got married at age 12, ok?!) It's easy, really. Both of us are probably terrified of what God would do to us if we stepped out, and really and truly, what a dang hassle cheating would be! Besides, she laughs at all my stupid husband tricks.
Sure, I like to talk smack and flirt a little here and there, but all that's just about the levity.
i always like to think that all good things come to an end. that is a hope that i will forever hold on to.

Yes it is possible for love to last. My parents will be celebrating their 30th anniversary next year, and neither has either stepped out to my knowledge. My husband and I have been in a relationship for 13 years ourselves.
The forgive and forget question is a tough one to answer. It depends on so many factors, how long we have been together, do we have children, are we otherwise happy, etc. etc. It is not so easy as to say definitely yes or definitely no. I don't think love and relationships don't work that way.
Interesting topic. Very.
I think it's possible for a man and woman to remain together forever, if that is what's in the both of their hearts. Two people really love each other and willing to get pass any and everything then, yes, it's highly possible.
What are the odds? Only time can reveal.
I think it's possible in 08 but like the.spot said, it has to be in both of their hearts.
I believe that if someone cheats and is willing to talk thru the issues without the B.S., then it is possible to forgive and move on. But, if they do it again, it's time to bizounce.
I think it's possible. If a boyfriend cheated on me, I can say just about 98% I would be out. With a hubby, that's a different story. I can't say I wouldn't put in the effort to try and save my marriage if I could.
Faithfullness is not an unrealistic expectation. And people who convice themselves that it is are the reason that people keep cheating.
Love can last thru anything. Tha cold part tho is you can love a muthafucka and not like'em at tha same time.
I think it’s possible for love to last through anything. The key is to work thru it. But that’s the problem now a days. No one has the patience and has too much pride to try and work it out.
I want to believe it’s still possible. I hope my own relationship can/will last that long.
If my man had a one night thing, although it will be very hard, I would have to leave. Because for him to go out there and do that, to me it means he’s still searching for something he doesn’t have at home. So I would have to go and find my ‘meant to be’.
But that’s a tough situation to predict because it really depends on the type of relationship that you’re in.
found your blog through other random blogs. i like ya style. =]
love. it is an interesting complex emotion. while ideally, love would seem to withstand every bump in the road. realistically, it doesn't always. do i think love can last forever? of course. does it necessarily mean that the relationship lasts forever? no. sometimes love has its ways of throwing you for an unexpected loop that leave you crying in the dark listening to them sad love songs. standing by your man or woman can sometimes leave u in a messed up position. feelings can be hurt. the truth can become distorted. do i think its worth it? not always.
thats my take.
i do believe in the ability to for love, committment, and honesty between a man and woman for the journey of this lifetime is achievable... if everyday they wake up and make sure that they look at this person and make the choice to do so.. maintaining that open and free dialogue where anything can be said in the safety of the relationship and be understood and validated... it takes alot tho.. .and it's up to both people to make sure the decision to be like is mutual...
Despite my track record with the monogamy-challenged, I still believe with all my heart that 20 and 30-year relationships are possible. That one man can love one woman for the rest of their days through thick and thin. Seems like people nowadays don't take marriage seriously enough and figure if they don't get what they want... well, there is always the option of divorce or an affair. They are both easy to acquire. A lot of people don't fully understand the hard work that goes into sustaining a good relationship.
Kudos to those that are putting in the work to make it work.
I believe its possible for love to last through anything if both people in the relationship have the same ideals about love.
my parents have been married for 27 going on 28 years this year so there is def a possiblity of love lasting 30+ years.
If my man ever cheated then I would have to leave. I wouldnt trust him anymore so what would be the point of staying in the relationship.
i remember when that song came out.
i hated it.
and at the same time thought, "damn, this guy's a damned pimp! he gets to cheat on his girl, and she's ok with it!"
wtf
i'd be singing, "he's yours, you slept with him once so now he's yours, u fuckin' whore."
i made that up. right now. sorry.
hah
"if your woman had a 'one night thing' ... would you forgive and forget?"
hellllllllllll naw!!! lol
After 8 yrs of marriage, if she did that, then she'd have to go. That might sound shallow but I can't put myself in that type of situation again. I love her...but i love memore than i love her. You feel me?
wow kyle, really? aren't we all human? don't we make mistakes and make bad judgment calls? is it really THAT unforgivable?

I myself have been labeled "unrealistic" when it comes to love. This day in age, I can't say I believe in that "forever" type love. If you cheat; I'm gone. If you're basically just not for me; I'm gone. I still believe that there is someone out there for everyone, and for me to settle for the one who is not for me, is a not happening.
trust is EVERYTHING. if you don't have that, you dont have anything.
i believe that love is out there...somewhere...where that person is not going to cheat...may want to, but wont take it that far.
i think people have become afraid to need each other. that's why people are unwilling to work at it to keep the relationship strong. if you don't need the person you are with you are more likely toleave them or step out on them. i need my gf she is my motivating force for life. i'll be here forever if she wants me forever.
First, let me applaud you for digging up the Mokenstef video.
As for your questions? In an ideal world you want to say that, but I think each of us have to answer for ourselves. I think love can last through everything except for the loss of love. You can't be in a relationship with yourself and if one person stops loving the other, then there's nothing the other could do about it.
I don't think its possible for relationships to last 20-30 years without bumps in the road. Love will keep them together, but it won't always be a smooth ride.
I've dated someone who had a one-night stand with someone and I took them back, but ultimately, I was never able to look at her the same and it was not good for either one of us.
I am trying to learn to believe in it, cause if I don't...then like you said what is the point!?
If a man can say he loves me and then be all up inside another woman....uhh...love is strong and everything but...$%&^$&^$% nah!!!
Well those are my thoughts at the moment. Maybe they will change one day. Iono.
Even though its so stupid to think that someone has someone once but you got him all the time... I love that Mokenstef song
I hope that love can last threw anything and that there is still a possibilities for me to have a marriage that lasts for decades
and this is despite the fact that I have seen my mother go threw a couple marriages... I still have faith
i dont think I would be able to stay with a man that cheated on me... I would always hang it over his head everytime we got in an argument and would never really be able to forgive him... I would have to leave because staying would only lead to more problems like lack of trust, etc
I would never forgive such a betrayal even once.
call me crazy, but i believe that every man cheats at least once in a relationship. i am cursed to be a forgiver.
i think relationships are possible at that age. people mature at their own levels. but we are a different generation, with a different way of doing things...
NO, I really dont believe in unmarred longevity. I have spoken with a lot of older couples that have been together 30 plus years and they always says its a CHOICE that they made, and that lesser couples wouldnt have made it. I think that to make it that far, you have to have a strong trusting space expanisive enough to contain the entire human experience. This includes stoopid mistakes, petty mistakes and less serious offenses. Otherwise you dont have a chance to honestlyl and effectively grow with each other.
I can't even imagine being with someone for 20-30 years so I'm going to pass on this post. lol
thanks everyone for the comments. sorry i didn't respond. just kinda wanted to read everyone's thoughts.
Yeah I'm late (Finals, sue me).
I think most things are possible. Relationships that last 30+ years are one of those things.
I would NEVER (yeah, I said it) cheat on anyone while in a relationship. This also means that I have zero tolerance for cheating. Yes, I have been sorely tempted; but at that point it is about you and what type of person you are or aspire being.
Those who wish to discount cheating as 'just a mistake', and claim no one is perfect; willfully dismiss the cheaters' culpability in the myriad of processes and decisions that are necessary for the cheating to take place. That's ALOT of denial.
I do believe in love and I expect a man to be faitful this day in age. I don't care. What does 2008 have to do with it?
This post right here made me start my own blog! I am going through some *ish right now that makes my head spin. I have to say that no matter when I come to your spot I always leave enlightened.
naw chick...I ain't 4giving no cheatin'...not in a marriage anyway,...been there done that and reciprocated...hell, I cheated w/the best of them...but I always knew when I took those vows, it was 4 ever and I ain't cheatin' nor am I 4giving a cheatin' husband....hell we could've kept dating/sexing if that's the case!!!!
