Six Things You May Have Done That You Will Regret

In life we’re expected to live and learn. You can’t grow if you don’t make mistakes. While mistakes are needed for us to learn about life and even about ourselves, there are things we should and should not do to ensure we don’t have a life full of regrets. Yeah, yeah, yeah the saying goes ‘No regrets. Just lessons learned’ but that saying can’t be applied to everything in our lives. And the truth is how many people do you know who consider everything in their lives phenomenal lessons and have never uttered the words “I wish I wouldn’t have…”? Don’t worry I’ll wait. Some hasty decisions made in the spur of the moment can make for some story-telling, regretful decisions later down the line. Yet at the time ‘down the line’ is the last thing on our minds. If only we would have known then, what we know now, the story may have played out differently. Check out 6 things that you will probably regret later at MadameNoire.com

Boys To Men: Are You Training Your Boyfriend To Be Someone Else’s Husband?

There is a thin line between love and hate, and that line is usually crossed when a boyfriend of numerous years breaks up with his girlfriend only to get married to somebody else in two years or less. We’ve all heard stories of long-time couples breaking up and the woman heartbroken and confused tries to go and find “herself” by remaining single in an attempt to finding her way back to happy. While her ex-man is reformed, a much better person and luckily finds his soul mate turned wife within the next 24 months. Grant it, in many situations these long-term couples were young when they met and may have grew apart, resulting in the breakup but it still doesn’t diminish the pain of training a boyfriend to be somebody else husband.

Ask a Very Smart Brotha: White Girls, Soul Food and Marvin’s Room

Dear Ask a Very Smart Brotha, I have a situation that needs your advice. My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 10 months. We’re both middle aged and get along great. The one issue between us is he’s African American and I’m white, and he’s never dated outside his race. I have, I’m cool with it, but he’s a little.. uncomfortable at times, I guess. His comfort level has gotten better over time but he’s still very conscious of the fact that I’m white, he’s black. As an example, we were talking about where we would go for dinner and I mentioned soul food (YUM!). He was quiet, then suggested someplace else. I asked if he didn’t feel like soul food, and then he told me he wasn’t sure he’d feel comfortable going to a soul food restaurant with me. I’d be fine with it – wouldn’t be my first trip to eat some tasty greens, wings, whatever. He’s been honest about this stuff with me and I know it’s a serious thing, and I don’t want to push. We have been to some events where I was one of just a few non-African Americans and I was comfortable – he was a little nervous – but everything was fine. I’m wondering if you have any suggestions of how I can help him feel more comfortable, or how we can work together to see if we can work through this. He’s a wonderful man – caring, funny, great dad, supportive – and I want to do what I can to make this work, but I also don’t want to be 3 years down the road and have him decide it won’t work. I appreciate any help you can give! Sincerely, Bay Area WF Read the Very Smart Brotha’s answer and another question at MadameNoire.com
