Wth? hahaha... people who love eachother are always happy. They do have their down moments but majority of the time they are happy. When you look at happily married people eyes.. you can see the love they have for eachother. They don't even have to say it to you. Their actions show it. Honestly, I know that a lot of our hmong women give up their happiness to stay with the children and to care for them. Not saying that they aren't happy being with the kids.. but I know that everyone need love from the opposite sex. It gets lonely after a while when you have no one to confide in or to do things with. Your kids will always be there for you but it's a different feeling. If your kids are still young, you have to be careful in who you date or introduce to your kids. Some men are not that great around kids... like many of the stories that we see/hear on the news.
Sweet_Tears, you are absolutely right. And I know I am single, no kids, never been married. So alot of people will question...How can I know anything about this subject? Or even have an opinion on it. And the answer is...
My mother. She raised us all by herself. And yes, I appluad her for it. Being the strong independent woman she is. But as I grew, I knew, that we only saw that becuase that's all she wanted us to see. She didn't show us how lonely she was. And until I was older and more understanding, I didn't realized how lonely she was. But I did learn from her having to live like this. I learned that, in the end....no woman needs a man, but it's not a question of needing, it's a question of wanting. So...1txojsia.
..if you happen to want a man in your life, don't listen to what other have to say. Though some of them have great points, those points are only true to them. Because they had to learn it their own. But yes, do be careful on who you choose. And if you do choose one, of course introduce your kids to him. That way you can know just how well it may go, or not.
