However as for the opposite I have no clue either. Its true that life can sometimes be overwhelming and I'm surprised that the women you've met don't understand that. Over here all the women say "I'm busy" which is greatly overused and is code for "I'm just too busy for you but if x or y invites me over I'll be there in an instant". But hopefully its not code for I'm offended! lol.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016249614421972151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795972256750121659.post-80129720566018573962011-12-07T20:57:39.347-05:002011-12-07T20:57:39.347-05:00This sounds familiar in my life, or at least what ...This sounds familiar in my life, or at least what use to be familiar to me. I, like you, assumed the same thing about people, we get busy, people have kids or we just don't really click beyond anything deeper than "salam, how are you?". If I didn't talk to certain people for a while it was assumed I was offended by something they did, this usually wasn't the case. I just got busy. <br />My husband and his "friends" are the complete opposite and they can go months without speaking (because they understand life gets busy), they'll run into each other and everything is fine, no one is offended and neither one thinks they've offended the other. I wonder if this is a "man" thing or if it's just certain people's personalities, because I have met very very few women that understand family/and or work situations can be overwhelming and sometimes these things take top priority.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782355039225832351noreply@blogger.com
