Does such a thing really exist?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Do you know even ONE person that has NEVER let you down, not EVER, not even one time. Does such a relationship really exist?

I don't believe it does.

[patomime]

1. ...me neither... n/t

[Droopy]

2. Nobody's perfect

I try to keep my word and treat everyone with kindness, but I fail sometimes. We're only human.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. yeah....but, do you realize it and take responsibility for it and

apologize and try to make ammends? or not.

[Guava Jelly]

3. I do

They exist, trust me :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. lucky you...

O_O

[lost-in-nj]

4. I agree with Droopy.....

thats my look on it to.

and no they do not exist


lost

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. yeah

~sigh~

[Orrex]

5. They sell dolls like that on the internet

I understand that they're pricey, but they probably don't let you down.


Other than that, it's an unrealistic and unfair expectation to have of another person. And, if you're looking for it, then you're setting yourself up for failure.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. I just wanted to know if it existed...

matter of fact, I have managed to think of two (2) people in my very own life that have never let me down. Think about it.

[Orrex]

8. Well, in what capacity?

To refer to "people in one's life" is kind of vague. The security guard at my former job never let me down. Neither has the woman who works at the doughnut shop. The paperboy always gets the paper here on time, so he's never let me down, either. So that's three.

I've let my wife down more than she's let me down, and in fact I can't really think of a time that she did, to be honest. But I don't hold that as an expectation of her, because I find it unrealistic.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. keep reading...

the thread.

I know it is unrealistic. I gave the kids a pass.

[GCP]

7. Do immediate family count?

My husband and sons have never let me down.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. of course they count ...

good for you :) consider yourself to be very blessed!

[GCP]

12. I do!

:)

[sarge43]

18. My mother never let me down, but I let her down more than once.

Maybe that's the question, how many people have we let down?

[Rising Phoenix]

13. I do

I've been friends with him for years.....though we've never met, he lives in the UK. He has never let me down though he has had many opportunities to do so.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. interesting...

:hi:

[eyesroll]

16. Well, people are human.

I think it matters less that people let you down--it's what happens after they do.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. yes...I agree.

Actually, it can be rectified a lot of times, if they care enough to even try.

[BarenakedLady]

20. Probably not

We are all human and destined to make mistakes. I think it depends on the extent and circumstances whether or not it will work out. Someone who consistently fucks up is different than someone who only occasionally fucks up.

:shrug:

[Sanity Claws]

21. no

But I also know that I have let people down. Sometimes other people have unrealistic expectations or make too many demands on another person.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. sometimes, other people do make too many demands.

I wonder if it is too much to demand that someone notice and recognize my existence. Do you think that is asking too much?

[Inchworm]

22. That would suck in an odd sorta way

If a skeeter never bit you, you would never know how good it feels to scratch it

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. you are right. That is odd.

O_O

how about...have you ever known anyone who even gives a shit if you fucking live or die. Does my existence matter to anyone in my life. I know not.

[Inchworm]

28. I am that much

I give a shit if anyone I know lives or dies, and even though this may seem like a place full of typed words, I know there are people behind the keyboard. I know you that much and your existence matters to me hella.

If you need to vent in a PM feel free to PM me any time.

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. while I appreciate it...

and I know what you mean...I wish some one in my immediate life gave a shit about me. Someone that lived within driving distance...

someone that would be there if I go the ER and they ask "is there anyone you want us to call?"



.......................uhm....well, guess not. Send me the bill. I pay my own way.

You guys need to over look me today. I am in a foul mood. Sorry. :hug:

[zippy890]

23. yes. my husband

In all the important times he has not let me down. in 30 years. <!>

he is an exceptional man, 1 in a million and I'm the luckiest woman in the world.

:-)

[RetroLounge]

24. They don't exist.

and I don't expect them to.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[RetroLounge]

32. and some people believe in Santa Claus too...

:hi:

[billyskank]

25. No, there is no perfect. Just looking for that which is Good Enough.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. all I am looking for is ...

a phone call.

[Neoma]

33. Sure, my fiance.

[Shell Beau]

34. We're human. It is impossible to be perfect. I know I have

let some down and have been let down. It is bound to happen.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. post a pic of Belle and all is forgiven :-)

:hug: :hi:

[Roon]

36. Yes, my Mother eom
