    About this ebook

    Ladies aren’t you tired of getting advice about dealing with a man after you have the baby? Or, what about being a girlfriend for five, ten years and no ring in sight and the ring is the end goal for you? There are a lot of books out here that deal with issues after the fact. No one wants to tackle the hard truths before the baby, or about being a forever girlfriend, etc. While no relationship is 100% perfect and no relationship is one-size-fits-all, however, there is food-for-thought for some of the problems you may be going through with your man. Or maybe some things you haven’t thought about because you are close to the issue.
    Some of the topics covered are:

    Why won’t he commit to me?
    Why did he leave me with a child?
    and more.

      Why I Wish I Hadn’t Thrown Out My CHEATING HUSBAND

      The memory is etched in my mind forever. It was the summer of 1988, around 10pm. I was a junior newspaper executive – complete with huge 1980s hair, a power suit and permanent exhaustion – when a friend appeared. I was desperate for the paper to go t

      Sisters, Can We Talk?

      Acknowledgements

      I would like to thank my baby brother Daniel for some of his insight from a man’s POV and my Aunt Margrette (Nona) for her support and suggestions for this book.

      Disclaimer

      I kept putting off writing this book because I know that we as Black women are tired of the everything is our fault mantra, but then I decided people can glean from this what is helpful to them. It’s just always been in my heart to write such a book-long before the internet, back when I was still a dreamer. And by dreamer I mean I expected to be married by 24, have my first child by 27 and also have a house with a white picket fence. Somewhere my life veered off on another path and I didn’t get married until I was 40. I also don’t have children-funny how life can be at times. I am writing this to provide insight into certain things and hopefully provide some food for thought for young ladies who think they have forever and a day to make the right decisions. I also think that a lot of Black women are not preparing their daughters (let alone their sons) in how to be in a relationship.

      At the end of the day most of us want to be in a relationship with the right man. There seems to be a lot of negativity-at least online- about marriage and relationships. I want to express that there is nothing wrong with marriage, nor is there anything wrong with wanting to get married and stay married. I’ve also noticed some marriage-shaming. Anybody else notice that?

      Please note; for women who genuinely do not want marriage for whatever your reasons are, this is not about you or for you.

      When I post online, I find that I have to put disclaimers, because some subjects are touchy for many women.

      I am pro-marriage and pro-abstinence-that is, I believe in maintaining virginity until marriage or at least making sure the man you are with is on the same page as you. (I still don’t believe in premarital sex, but I know that is unrealistic in today’s world.)

      A lot of women are also unwilling to look within themselves for the situations they find themselves in. My words and opinions are meant as preventative measures for young women who may not know certain things in regards to men, love, sex and marriage. I find that a lot of these self-help books tend to target women who have reached their limits with men and usually after they’ve had a kid or two and are exasperated to the point of bitterness.

      Introduction

      There is some information that many of us are not and didn’t get from our mothers about men, love, marriage and then some. These are subjects that I know many Black women are sick to death hearing about over and over again-that we are the most un-partnered women, raising children single handedly. Why are people so concerned about what we do? I get it. But the fact that it does keep coming up all the time online, on social media, in articles and in conversations amongst ourselves, etc. means
