It seems that people (or specifically one person) are making assumptions about the end of my dating with Irishman. I had a comment from someone calling themselves “Irishman 2″ who has jumped to the conclusion that I won’t compromise on a single thing about a partner and that I ended the romance because “The One” didn’t fall into my lap.
“Bullshite
Your always on about not having a BF, you should of made it work, its like everything else in this world, you need to work at it.
You are expecting the “One” to be handed to you on a friggen plate.”
Sure, I think all romantics like myself would love Prince Charming to gallop up on his perfect steed and for it to all be happily ever after, but I am also realistic and know that compromise and discussion are crucial to a relationship. Where your statement falls over “Irishman 2″ is that it wasn’t my decision to stop dating. Irishman has gone through a hell of a time over the past 8 months or so losing a family member to violent crime, a previous relationship crumbling around him due to mental illness (not his) and substance abuse and on top of that he’s trying to maintain a new business and working 7 days a week. So I’d kindly ask you to take your ignorance and leave it at the door.
I’ve watched my parents work very hard to maintain their marriage of 39 years and I’ve watched others work twice as hard and still not be as lucky. So to imply that I “should of made it work” which should read “Should HAVE”, is based on absolutely no knowledge of the situation.
People like this just make my butt-hole itch in a bad way.
They read maybe three words of four paragraphs and then make a comment based on their own indignation without having to confront their own ignorance at not being able to (A) Read the whole damn thing; and, (B) be even PARTLY human and understanding.
Shitheads!
Irish man 2 comment i think was not understandins facts becasuse he dint know the whole story i think,and it is a story with lots of chapters,WHO knows eh?Theres always a bigger picture,as long as we know the truth thats all that matters :)
I agree with you. You are the only one who knows who “the one” is.
Keep looking till you find what makes you happy. That is your right in life. Love the website.
When you meet “the one”, you will find that even IF the irishman was the one all the baggage that comes along with a mate means nothing in the bigger picture because all of it wouldn’t matter.
I speak from expierence with my mate, Irishman was not the one for you longterm, just a blessed moment to enjoy and move on from.
So enjoy reading your site.
oh that guy has issues of his own and your situation is bringing them out again for him. ignore him!
I have my own blog and I have a feature that allows people to reply to my posts. That means I should be open for public scrutiny.
Now if you are posting something very personal about your life and leave other people to comment on it, you should thank that person and explain to him your situation and not really attack him.
Treat your readers kindly and I am sure they will visit you more often and ask other people to do the same.
You put the details of your private life out for all to see and then bitch when somebody criticises you. Brenton, you can’t exect everyone to agree with you. It would be a pretty boring world, And, in defence of “Irishman 2″, you never told us of all the problems with the relationship. Just that you had trouble sleeping with someone else and that he snores. My lover of 29 years still snores and still likes to holdme in bed (which I must admit that even 29 years of trying to get used to hasn’t diminished my dislike for it.) If you tell only half the story, you are bound to get only a half right comment.

Brenton, when you meet the right mister, you will forget the one on the white horse. You will leave all your wishes and just be lucky. I hoped for a tall dark hair prince, I am happy with a small blond handsome prince, so you see.
And please ignore all the people who are so negative about you and the irishman. Enjoy your friendship with him!
Brenton, been off line the past few weeks OS with my partner so just catching up on things. Sorry to hear about things not working out with your Irish friend. I respect your desire to find the right person and not just any relationship. It is better to know what you want and don’t want than to put up with a relationship just for relationship sake. I once read that we should list out the 8 or 10 must have’s in a relationship and the 8 - 10 things that we can’t stand. Once you got that figured out then you can go out to find the Mr Right based on what is important in a relationship (the must have’s) and what you know will drive you crazy (can’t stands) so you don’t go there. Be true to yourself. Cheers, J
