what you've never heard of "bros before hos"? darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 08/07/2011 08:03:47 PM
... about Egwene "handing over" her boyfriend to Elayne and how a great many women from this board admitted that it was a realistic portrayal of women to my eternal horror and consternation.


Not long after I read book 3 - maybe a year, I can't recall - I had a situation where I learned that my friend got permission from my girlfriend to make a move on me after me and my gf broke up. I felt shocked, too, and really did wonder "am i being passed along like a sweater?" I felt a little cheapened, but I didn't let myself get used.


I think it's pretty standard practice with men and women. Maybe not quite as overt as a formal conversation, but I'd call it common courtesy to let you friend know that you are interested in their EX before you jump into a relationship.

Women cannot admit they were wrong and will partner up with their worst enemy against a man over it. djwilson300 - 07/07/2011 12:20:16 AM 988 Views

That's not exactly what the incident was about. Fanatic-Templar - 10/07/2011 07:29:14 PM 933 Views
Yes, and the way Egwene expressed her thoughts on the matter is quite disturning too Zeratul - 11/07/2011 12:56:59 AM 934 Views
That wasn't what I was refering to ßelals Girl - 12/07/2011 07:26:59 PM 850 Views

Much of Faile's "punishing" was just Perrin's super-nose. Fanatic-Templar - 13/07/2011 03:36:03 AM 871 Views

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea. CatherineSedai - 21/07/2011 04:28:39 AM 938 Views
And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously, newyorkersedai - 26/07/2011 01:44:28 AM 934 Views
I always thought it was relatively accurate. Onarishma - 21/07/2011 11:36:41 PM 876 Views
