@<<TheStandard>>: By not allowing yourself to fall for the bait, you showed a high level of self-respect/self-value. I have experienced this type of scenario on a few occasions and I have always been highly offended whenever a female, who previously shot me to the left for whatever reason, tries to come at me on some "give me another chance" bullshyt after her life is now in shambles, hoping that I go the sucka route and give her that chance but I do not it. I look at any female who does this like "bytch, what type of dude do you fukkin think I am? Cause if you think Im gonna play captain save'em, you got me fukked up and obviously got me confused with somebody else."
What's sad is if you do give them a chance and save them, they will act sweet maybe one or two months tops... maybe 3 if you're lucky, and then they'll start disappearing once they feel they got you 'locked in' and start dealing with other dudes behind your back. That's the reward awaiting men who like to save scandalous women.
I found this comment on another board, and it's quite accurate

That shyt mostly comes from the woman's bad attitude, man. If she has her job and you have yours and yall both taking care of the financial side of things cause it takes 2 to pay for these big ass houses, 2.5 cars, kids, etc....and she chooses to look down on you cause you ain't covering everything so she can sit back and just spend her money on her and her alone...that's her fukking problem.
These heffas are combative, materalistic as fukk and selfish as hell, that is why they become instantly antagonistic in damn near any scenario. When you providing they hate your ass because they look at that as leverage you have over them, and they resent that you have the "power" over them. When you try to do the 50/50 thing with them they still hate your ass cause they actually have to pull their own weight for a change. And you knoooow they gonna hate your ass if they make more money than you, they gonna try and make you feel like less of a man in that situation. You can't win with these chicks who ain't got their mind on the right page. fukk it.
Personally I'm tired of the damned if you do, damned if you don't catch 22 bullshyt from these chicks. I'm on strike. bytches can go argue with their fantasies, I'm out.
This cat hit the nail on the head.

Sounds fukkin horrible. And its a crapshoot because I'm willing to bet your friend's wife was cheerful and cool as fukk to be around when they were dating 
I mean how slow can you be?
