When I was growing up my bestfriend was a WM, he loved hanging out in my house (probably because my family is from Jamaica and we could cook).  Well throughout the years he never failed to remember Valentin'es day, my birthday, or x-mas.  He even remembered my favorite box of chocolates, none of my BM boyfriends treated me as well as my WM bestfriend ever did and to this day my father always brings him up and says that I should have married him.  So hear I am widening my net of men.  I have to admit that I'm nervous though.

I hear you on your feelings. I look back on the guys I have dated and the ones who treated me well were not BM. Is that not crazy? I am a black woman and I am at a total loss on my BM's right now. I am not bitter just very disappointed. BUT I will not close myself off anymore. Live your life and be happy with whom every God sends you. Life is to short to limit.

RN sorry.
Casper, it happens to the best of us. I think we all can come up w/"I remember when", my point is we must live in the moment. The here and now w/o pulling anything from the past to muddy things up and the future to blind us. Living in the hear and now allows us give ourselves permission to capture every essence w/our full senses.

In one aspect I do feel some regret for having been naive and not knowing what was right in front of me.  But on the other hand I wouldn't have my two beautiful sons.  So its kinda a case of learning from the past, why shouldn't I open my dating pool...you never know he may come back or there may be another good man (I didn't say WM, or AM, or Latino man because I don't see color anymore) out there for me and my boys...that actually want to be a family man.  Well at least I can hope.
I totally empathize with you RN2012 on marrying a BM and living in regret, for in my case he NEVER treated me like my bestfriend ever had (giving me flowers just because...my ex gave me flowers whenever he felt guilty), taking me for granted.
