Crystal wonders if crying is necessary for others to hear you?
June 17th 2008 08:21
I love being with Andrew, but on the weekend I shed a few tears, I am so worried that he will spend too much time on the farm if we do get together.
He was very loving and sympathetic, and assured me he would not do this, that he was trying to secure our future, to which I replied that I thought our future was pretty secure.
That set him back and he said next time he went he'd book us both into a motel, separate rooms of course, and started once more hinting about our getting married.
I really want to get married as you all know, but I want to be sure I marry the right person.
But as mum always says none of us can be sure of that, and I can see the wisdom of those words, I think I am suffering from pre-commitment jitters generally attributed to the male sex.
I quite like the farm but I realize that once we have children it will not be so easy to get away and Andrew can see that this is a valid concern.
He said he'd try to work something out which would make us both happy so I suppose for the time being the ball is in his court so to speak.
We did have a lovely weekend together and next time he goes alone I shall go out and buy a piano. I've been thinking for some time that I could be a piano teacher as the children come along, especially once they go to school.
I'm not much of a pianist but I have had some tuition and I love music, due to my involvement with ballet for so many years but I would not want to be a ballet teacher.
Of course I'd need to keep practising and have some more lessons, but there is plenty of time and I can take as long as I like to become more proficient.
I spoke to mum and dad about this and they thought it was a good idea, but they did point out that I could keep working if I wanted, I had sufficient income to hire a Nannie.
I tuned out completely on this one, as I just know I want to bring up my children myself, regarding that as worth more than money could ever buy.
I feel sure there are still many women who would agree with me.
But, in writing this post, I am becoming increasingly more aware that females seem to need to cry before they are listened to and taken seriously.
Many would say this is an emotional ploy but I can assure you my tears were prolific and very real.
Others say that just can't manage to cry although they do see it as a great emotional release.
Do you think it is necessary for females to cry before they get a good hearing?

I must say I felt better afterwards, and I do agree with you about not crying at work.
