Conversations With Marva: Ain’t Really Love

  • Clnmike · 10 months ago
    Great post, I think you have been selecting the right type of men, especially if they have the patience to listen to you scream and get in their face.


    Or they could be scared shitless of you.



    Either way it works.

    I say Amen and Amen. As Maya Angelou says, "If people SHOW you that they don't love you, BELIEVE THEM!"

    Hello Marva,


    I agree. It takes a strong man to walk away when confronted by a woman who chooses to "test the limits" of a good man's patience. So when a woman goes too far, pushes too hard, and says too much, most women will still crucify the man.



    Domestic violence is unacceptable and must be avoided at all costs. It's always a "no win" situation whenever any man "chooses" to strike a woman. Matters not the reason. A real man will always choose the battles he fights wisely.

    VERY poignant post. Top notch. Needs to be widely distributed. Thanks for sharing another view of this.


    I hope we'll continue to have these kinds of important conversations long after all this foolishness has died down. When I say foolishness, I mean all the extra stuff surrounding this tragic occurence that no one would be talking about if it wasn't those two. Because it's happening right now. And will happen again to another woman before I press "post" on this comment.

    I have never been beat down either and I am considerably older than you. Truth be told I have never cursed a man out (at least not one I was intimately involved with). I actually thought that was fighting women was some old school mess from Billie Holiday songs "My Man". I am with you all the way and agree with you wholeheartedly...It ain't love!


    On another note: That Diana Ross film "Out of Darkness" is airing Wednesday morning at midnight in my area. Check you guide and program your Tivo if you want to see it.

    Your opening paragraph got me before I could even finish. My word... such a powerful message.


    Great post.

    Great post Marv. I don't know what its like either. And honestly, I think if someone put their hands on me I might end up in jail for manslaughter.

    Great post. Just like I said to someone's comment, I don't know any woman that hasn't been touched by some sort of abuse--mental, verbal, physical, emotional. What's important is what you learn from it...glad you made it through unscathed.
